Why does h2h get sweatier/more toxic each year

I have been pretty much been playing the new COD and madden at an even rate since last Friday. I have yet to come across many toxic COD players, yet 1 out of every 4 h2h matches is with some toxic moron who overly celebrates, and then get's mad when their glitch's do not work and proceeds to curse me out over it. I have no issue with the trash talk, it is just interesting that more negativity seems to occur in a game that is rated "E" vs a game that is rated "M"...

I'm just mad my 90 ovr players that are boosted to 91-92 aren't dominating the garbage ass 85-86 players a lot of you are still running with. They are totally balancing the game with DDA. You can't tell me any different. I'll be beating the dogshit out of a team by 21. And all of sudden, I'm fumbling the ball, dropping more passes in traffic, their d line starts getting more instant sheds on runs. 

Alot of you asshats use a lot of BS man in motion glitches, mid blitz still works more than it should, or you go to tiktok to find that one play that cant be covered due the trash ass game mechanics. 

I know I'm not washed either. I've been playing MUT since Madden 16.  Madden since 95. This shit hasnt changed much.

ya its like why  people wanna just have fun playing the game  not get cheated by guys with no lives

Been playing online gaming since halo 2 lol it's always been toxic. I always give the energy I get if someone wants to be toxic I can dish it right back but if you wanna be a civi  human engage in a little convo play the game and possibly have someone to run with in the future I'm cool with that too.

Not sure it does get worse every year...but...a theory is...many "casual" players may have left the game mode as the cost (time or money) coupled with the frustration of consistent card performance have left us with a smaller "focused" group of H2H players who have MCS visions (they are good) bouncing around in their head.

I agree.

I'm not  saying Madden doesn't have toxic player but to lie and say COD is not toxic at worst the same level is wild . It would be like I got bit by a Golden Retriever but  I came across aa hungry wild  bear and he let me pet him .

Alongside that, the floor for players has increased in skill generally

This game just makes me so sad because it’s so poorly maintained and balanced but  the only football game on the market beside cfb which is just as bad if not worse… :,,,(

Cfb is so much better

Great points...hadn't considered the "online" world, but...I think you may be on to something with that.

Beta answer

Disabling voice chat, so I that I can't hear any chirping or other nonsense during H2H games, is one of the best Madden decisions I've ever made.  It's actually funny when I see the speaker icon flashing and know that my opponent is wasting energy that I can't hear.  Obviously, abusive voice chat is only one element of toxicity but it's a big one.

I think a lot of it has to do with these  Youtuber/ streamers putting out so called “ebooks”.  No one  really teaches actual Football principles to beat x type of coverage anymore, or a defense to stop certain route combos. Its just this breaks the AI Not because it works in real life but because it got coded wrong. 
 

example of this was with the solo te being able to be motioned over to make a quads look, who even tries things like this knowing it’s an  illegal format in real life. A lot of  these people that think they are good can’t win unless they use these broken plays. Ea needs to lose the rights or it will never get better.

Yeahh I’ve came to the same conclusion

the more prevelent comp madden becomes, the higher the skill floor of the game becomes

meh, i just have opponents muted. They can play toxic route glitching and scum kicking etc and i'll just do the same back.  if it's a casual player that punts etc, i basically do the same. play down or up to your opponents toxicity.  

Works in life as well...
