Jk. Unpopular opinion, but I have a great time playing madden. I don’t spend a ton of money. The promos are fine. My opinion, I think where people who say these kinds of things are getting frustrated is that other people are getting the cards they feel that they deserve to get for logging on. They‘ll never say that. They’ll complain about the game being expensive or hard. But I bet if they could get whatever card they wanted for cheap/free/no effort, there wouldn’t be as many posts about “The State of MUT”.
If you are one of those people, stop for a second and think about it. The reality is, the shiny cards you want can only do so much. If you understand the game and play an effective strategy, you’ll beat every team. There is no ability out there that will correctly position a seam route in the soft spot of a cover 4. There is no stat that will help you if you aren’t playing the correct zones at the correct zone depth. Watch the professionals. All kinds of pre snap adjustments because THAT is what will win the game. A speedy receiver or a stalwart D lineman is nice, but not game breaking.
Yes it’s annoying to have to learn this much about football to have success in game. I think a lot of people are forgetting the very nature of sport is competition. If you don’t want to get that serious about a video game, I completely understand. It’s not for everyone. That said, you can’t willingly walk into a sauna and complain about the sweat. This is what competitive online gaming is across all genres. It’s time to make peace with it.
