Which H2H Mode Would You Choose?

The current H2H mode makes it difficult for casual MUT players to keep up with big money spenders and constant grinders. Not having the top cards or the most dominant abilities can put you at a significant disadvantage that can be incredibly overwhelming and make the H2H mode completely unenjoyable.

What if there were multiple H2H modes to allow MUT players to play the way they want? (Yes I already know this is very unlikely as it doesn’t cater to EA’s greed plan)

Abilities are the only thing that matters, top end cards don't mean shit. Remove abilities, tweak some gameplay and the game would be 100% better. Abilities have ruined the game and instead of being a bonus, they are more of a crutch and you can't play without them and even if you do, you're at a huge disadvantage

If there were a H2H mode with zero abilities and they tweaked the gameplay I think it would be a lot closer to the “Simulation” football game that a lot of people say they want.

A H2H mode where people cant DC glitch you(which has been a thing for 10 years but EAs so lazy that they don't give a shit ) because after playing all the sweats just for someone to cheat you out a suberbowl... yeah this games  cooked for me.

I agree 100% dude

I hate KOs and Unstoppable X-factors, I don't mind the other abilities that aren't crazy OP, like Bruiser, Jukebox, Mid out/in elite(any of the WRs ability), Tackle Supreme, I'm fine with abilities like this, but the ones that are stupid OP I just can't stand them(KOs, Unstoppable Double Me). AKA players used to be so good for the on and off Double me but now it kinda sucks because you can get a Julio that after 9 plays its a instant touchdown for 70 yards with mossed.

I would choose the h2h mode where I get coins when my opp quits in the first half

THIS.  So much this^^ -- the solution is painfully obvious to anyone that plays the game, but as OP so accurately pointed out, that goes against EA's "make or break" year levels of sheer greed.  Everything is a stupid cash-grab, which is exactly as it was designed.  The game isn't made for most of us, it's specifically catering to the small (~1%) of whales, content creators and big spenders who regularly drop hundreds, if not much, much more on the game.

As if it weren't already obvious (the array of cash-grabs), all those Light it Up X-factor tokens have made many of my 95 OVR players significantly better than basically anything that has dropped since the Superbowl promo.  William Perry looks fantastic and all, but why would i give up Warren Sapp, who has SB chems and has Unstoppable Force that starts ON and remains active the entire game.

Perhaps i'm the damn fool for thinking i was signing up for actual simulation fatball.  Oof.  This has been anything of the sort.  I absolutely adore the team building aspects of a game, things would be SO much more accessible if players hoping to test things out could drop in and out of something liek MUT Draft and not be forced to use some 73 OVR quarterback that wouldn't even have been decent when the game dropped last August or September.  Alas, those things require time and effort and Devs who are allowed to work on things that might improve the sad state of Madden franchise.  Big John surely is rolling in his grave.  I bet his kids love cashing these EA checks, though.

I don’t mind this take.

I always enjoyed playing a few games of MUT Draft when I would get bored with H2H. Sometimes I would find a rare gem that played above its attributes even without abilities.

personally I don’t mind h2h the only xfactor I hate is angry runs all the other ones are fine I do also wish if my opp quit out I would get coins for it

Angry runs seems to be what causes the most frustration for most players. Some abilities are just too overpowered. 

 I think it’s absolutely insane that coins aren’t being awarded for opponents quitting in the first half. I actually sat out this year because I could see the direction MUT was going in 23 and I had the feeling it would only get worse in 24.
