90% of the games right now are just people running exploits they aren’t even playing the game they are just abusing the coding.

thats every year in Madden.

What is stitch stick?

Is that like hit stick?

The opposing RB breaks all my hit sticks like they have built in Tank

its using the right stick to switch to a player post snap, in most cases it scares the user from throwing a pass allowing the pressure to come in.  For example for now until they patch it the only way to slow down the stem glitch is to switch stick to your corner as soon as they snap it and break on the ball manually.  takes practice but once you get used to it, your defense will improve 10x

I’m completing challenges and dailies, and working the Auction House. Now that I’ve earned Jaycee Horn, there is zero reason for me to play competitive. Perhaps we’ll have a patch soon that will equip defenders with the ability to defend.

Only way to play even a sliver of defense is blitz your butt off and pray lol. In all seriousness, it's tough this year, but have to think the next patch fixes a lot of issues on defense. I think match (when it works) is actually really good, but it gets busted easily and I've EA is looking into that already.

The  whole reason why they "Added" it and called it a "Feature" was to a highlight and promote it  to the better players as a  counter to the AI  play spammers.

Defense has been great and I'm literally running 82s.... No offense but learn how to scheme

I had to look up DDA because I'm not a tech guy but this supports what I've believed for decades ..the games rigged . ...thank you for stating this ..great comment btw .

You mean you’re running exploits gotcha

No I don't cheat ...I run mainly Big Nog and rotate manning up zones and blitzes...use a heavier 4-4 sets against the run and I like the 3-3 some as well. That's probably your problem you think you need to cheat to be good. All that happens is when they patch it you suck. That's what I'm saying BUM learn how to play defense and scheme. But you probably to dumb to build something yourself

So this weekend, I finally found a decent coin making set

Was making 83 legends for dirt cheap, then flipping the Surtain CHeroes set, made about 3 milly coin

I bought everyone...Vick, Kuechle, Surtain, Nabers, Larry Allen, Ngata, Myles Garrett, Earl Thomas, CJ2k...have a near god squad...all jets +1 theme team

So I thought H2H would be fun...boy was I wrong

My team plays awful. 

McCafferty still breaks every tackle, even when I turn on conservative

Revis Island and Surtain get smoked by 82 overall WRs

Ken Houston will let balls go right over his head

Sexy Dexy and Myles Garrett get NO Pash rush

.

My offense is really good, I score almost everytime - although my OLine will break down at times

But my defense plays like their 70 overalls and are costing my games I should win

If i make 1 mistake on offense, its like the games over because my defense SUXXX

I've barely played H2H, as my experience has been roughly on par (if not identical) to your own.  It's a miserable, frustrating mess and hardly worth the time, let alone money many of us devote to this uhhh "hobby" / compulsion / addiction, whatever it is... it's not good.  This is not the way.  There is nothing about MUT25 that resembles a fair, balanced, let alone competitive and FUN gameplay experience.

I was trying to be patient and hope that the patch fixed many of the most glaring issues -- I'm not sure what they even patched, yes i've read the entire patch notes, end to end.  These jokers are simply not capable of doing even the bare minimum.  I'm not sure where the sheer incompetence starts and the issues from years of sorely neglected code-base on an extremely outdated (Frostbite) game engine begins, but I don't think there's anyone out there trying to pretend this is an objectively good game.  Even the biggest EA bootlicking cucks wouldn't try to come in here and slap an 8/10 score on the ranking scale.

Defense sucks for everyone.  EA will promise to fix it for the next 3-4 months, tell us all the grand ideas they have for improving gameplay, while continuing to suck us all dry.  Best of luck to you all, wish I had dipped out sooner.  Not that we have any other choices when it comes to NFL simulation fatball, but egad.  Something has got to give.  Sadly, we have essentially zero recourse.

The only way to get any type of response from EA would be to force their hand, show that the player base has TANKED.  Stop playing the game and hope for the best.  Hardly an ideal solution, but that's the only power we have left.  I realize this is not a saturated, first-person shooter type game, but Sony quickly responded by taking Concord offline.  Nothing short of this will force the league, nor EA's hand.  I hate to blame the player base, as it is definitely not our fault, but as long as the project remains profitable (and why wouldn't it, it's literally the only game in town), nothing will change.  /sigh

I want to love this game, but enough is enough.

Thats where ea is heading. Then their shameless entitled devs and their minions they samend out onto social media as plants will be just like the ones in that game: "people are gonna lose their jobs!"

Good. Long time coming. We owe these companies nothing and they owe us everything.

When MUT wasn't working this morning because the servers were down, I did the unthinkable (for me, at least): I loaded up Madden 24, just to see if my heart still burned for it. And let me tell you... it was FANTASTIC.

Oh hello, Brock Purdy - I missed you so much! And Gibbs, thank you so much for your 30 yard runs. But wait! There's actually defense in this game. Dallas Turner with a sack. Joe Klecko with a tackle behind the line of scrimmage. DRC with a game clinching INT.

To make things even better, I was listening to David Lee Roth's "Good Times" during my first game..what a moment.

Sure, we was acting like a couple of kids
Good to remember, you know that it is
I still feel it like the sun on my skin
Maybe that's better
'Cause these are good times
Damn good times

on defence, learn your opponents tendencies. cross man players if they’re running crossing routes, run the odd blitz, play the right defence for the right situation etc. if you sit in one coverage all game your opp will pick you apart

This is great advice and to add to it when your calling different defenses, you need to know their weaknesses and try to fill that void with an adjustment or your user. most of these stock defenses need a couple adjustments against a good player

I made this mistake last year, you can spend hours on the auction house grinding for coins and getting the best cards, but using that amount of time to get in game reps will help you get better a lot faster than having the best cards in the game. In time, you'll get better at the game AND be accruing the coins anyways.
