Madden Sliders

This is first MUT I’ve played since 2016. And the number one issue is still of built in sliders. 

Why do they still exist in THIS MODE?

When you play a team 2 ovr or more below you, it Has been absurdly noticeable. 
I think more than any other terrible thing EA thrown at us, this is the absolute worst, as what is the point of getting good players if they play below their overalls when faced with weaker competition? I generally go 18-20 wins in champs and 9 times out of 10 I will lose to shit teams. 
The saddest thing, it is so bluntly obvious when it is happening and there ain’t shit you can do.

Some of these lower overall teams are theme teams. I’ve noticed that my players play much better with theme team boost. For example, I was able to use Rookie Premier Bijan Robinson up until his limited AKA card came out. That does make a significant difference.

Somebody lost to a NMS team….

I have an eagles/CA TT it’s not that. 
You just notice clear difference in player performance, as in linemen cant block or shed. Defenders refuse to react, same passes I complete over and over again within same scheme vs a good team being severely overthrown or under thrown, dropping picks constantly. Its like the game is against you.

Nah, Im in legend am, constantly 18+ in champs, not a skill issue. I do not mind losing to a better player. Losing to a bum because EA wants to give ‘em a handicap, is different tho.

I'm convinced that there is handicapping that goes on...some of it may be based on overall and others on ELO...but...it is darn sure there.  I can lose numerous games in a row (most of them well deserved) and then all of a sudden...my team (which is really good) starts playing lights out (countering my below average skills) and I go on a winning streak...I can do almost no wrong.  The handicapping that EA does helps me win significantly more games (did I mention I'm not good), but...is completely unfair. There should be consistency in card and game play performance...that is how bad players (like me) get better.  I suspect the handicapping is to make games competitive (where us bad players can compete with the better players)...golf does the exact same thing. Only difference is golf puts it out there in the clear for all to see.  So...EA should change their handicapping...wanna give me a fighting chance against these better players?...then start the game with me up by 17 (I'm at least a 17 handicap)...and then let the cards play the way they should...this would let everyone know right up front what type of game is in front of them.

50/50 Theme teams are even better. I just went 20-2 in Champs.

I can understand that, but man leave that shit out of mvp/legend/champ. We already gotta commit cheese on cheese crime, leave the handi out of it.
