I said "If that's the case" and "I honestly hope that EA is not fixing these games".
What are you exactly correcting me on?
Match Fixing involves manipulation of outcome - DDA is manipulation of outcome.
What would be the point of grinding or paying for packs if DDA will penalize the better team?
You can have your opinion, but don't speak for everyone. If you feel that "DDA is actually more fun" - Good for you.
But the rest of us might feel entirely different and we're also free to have that opinion.
Looks like I'm not correcting you on anything although the phrases you use to caveat the statement about MUT having a "big problem" could be misread but lets not get bogged down with semantics.
What I should also say is that DDA or DA or whatever you want to call it, isn't "match fixing" in the way that most would understand the term because that would involve conscious choices by the participants. A match can only be fixed if one of the players wants to deliberately fix it or the referee makes deliberate interventions to alter the outcome. In Madden, the CPU makes no conscious choices. At any one time, it controls the movement and interactions of 20 of the 22 pixellated players with zero or negligible input from the User. It can make coverage tighter, make blocking poorer, alter speed, pursuit angles etc - the list is endless but it does that unconsciously. And it might not do it at all in competitive MUT anyway. If the games code can drop DDA in to a game it can sure as shit take it out too.
And it wasn't my opinion man. I said "you could argue that a game with DDA is actually more fun" not that it was more fun. And by fun, I really mean 'more engaging' rather than 'more enjoyable' anyway. People will play a game longer if they can win but not if they win so much that winning becomes boring. DDA just balances it up and I'll bet that a high proportion of the MUT community end up batting around .500 when looked at over a decent time span. So DDA helps you when you're on a losing streak and hinders you when you win too often. No "match fixing" I've ever seen does that.
