This fatigue issue is awful- seems almost random

So my 3mil coun JJ Watt at 280+ is going up against a 305 ldb tackle and.becomes useless for 3/4 of the game

It was supposed to be non-pass rushers with FMV and PMV <70 and giving awa y 90 lbs or more

Why on earth would JJ, , Donald, Bosa etc get fatigued  Even if the patch is making all players giving away 90 lbs, it's not like they're not going up against 355-370 LB tackles... these were O linemen ranging from 280 to 315

So basicslly we don't even know what the fatigue rule is that waa built into the patch

and what sucks is if its not fixed today , i wouldnt think it would be fixed until at least tuesday with monday being a holiday.

I was wondering why my defensive linemen were getting subbed out

In one game I went through JJ, playoff Bosa, LT, Donald, TJ, Derrick Thomas, Sweat, Buckner, Jalen Carter..... just insane

my guys got so gassed madden auto subbed in my backup MLB's at pass rusher LOL. Nothing like seeing gold spillane on my raiders TT trying to rush the edge.

What’s hilarious/awful is my Flannegan Fowles (who is NOT  a pass rusher) got 2 sacks in 2 games as a “random” fatigue sub 

gotta fix this quick

Yeah, it's brutal, and it's making the game even less fun that it was(n't) pre-patch.

That said, I hope they fix it and get the desired outcome to limit all the bs Dollar blitzes. People will just use 6-1 instead, but I guess it's something.

Yeah I thought people were being dramatic yesterday reading the comments here, but then I logged in and tried for myself. 

I only run 6-1 Even or Big Nickel so 99% of the time, the only people engaging with OL are my DL or linebackers or occasionally a safety.

Every single time by the end of the first drive in Solo Battles (against the CPU so literally 3 plays), my LE/RE are subbed out and my SS is subbed out.

My LE is Terrell Suggs (270 lbs), my RE is Micah Parsons, and my SS is Eric Berry. Eric Berry, because of the 55 player max limitation, also somehow for some fucking reason has to play on ST's and always comes into the defensive drive already yellow.

HOW DID THIS PAST QA TESTING? HOW DO YOU MAKE SIGNIFICANT STAMINA CHANGES AND IT DOESN'T GET TESTED?????

I am a front end web developer. I code for a living. If I made significant changes to something and it went into production with a MAJOR bug like this, that's noticeable by clients literally 5 seconds after going live, it would be a major thing and I would be in a lot of trouble for being an awful coder. But here at EA, there's just no shits given.

Has this ever been in a mut before?

My safety's are yellow after a few plays when they never left a deep zone.  Pretty dumb.

People are starting to exploit this by running Vita Vea, Montez Sweat, Donald Penn, and Gronk at WR lol

oh I’m perfectly fine with the stamina. I don’t meet glitch blitzing to win games maybe it’s time for you guys to learn how to actually play the game and call the right defense rather than spam one derensive play for 4 quarters

or maybe don’t call ur defense to fast let them rest a bit call a time out commit a penalty like in real life. just Adapt and stop complaining. find a different strategy Jesus Christ

Even if you play regular defense your players still get tired  it was supposed to stop glitxh blitzes but ended up destryo the game
