Why does h2h get sweatier/more toxic each year

Yeahh I’ve came to the same conclusion

Yeah. Getting a one play td because the coding is broken is BS to me. You know how many times my deep coverage doesn't play overtop because people keep spamming man in motion glitches until they get an unbalanced coverage look. 

I played a mfer that spent the whole play clock every snap moving his receivers around until a receiver was uncovered. You opponent knows that even in base alignment for zone that your players don't align correctly due to how the game is coded. So they use exploits to get deep passing plays or one play tds.  If are sweating this hard to trigger an exploit in the game, take your ass to MCS ladder matches and try to win money. Stay out of H2H with this bullshit.

I've never run in to so many people who try to grief a game in past years as I have this year. I get up on someone two-three scores and they automatically run the spike play except they let the entire play clock go down two times and get a delay of game, then they spike it before getting the third consecutive delay of game, and they do that for all four downs until they're finally backed up to their goal line. This is when they run the ball into their own endzone, lateral the ball so it goes to a defensive player for the TD, and repeat the entire process after the kickoff. I literally sat in a game for 5.5 hours just to not give the other person the satisfaction of making me quit for a free W. I had multiple sports games to watch at the time so I wasn't trippin but it's still aggravating to deal with. I just wanna play the game.

Online gaming in general continues to grow more toxic every day. It's a culture issue. I grew up playing original Nintendo with my friends in person before the days of online gaming. All social interaction was done in person other than talking on the phone. If someone didn't play fair or tried to be a troll, they'd eventually be left with nobody to play with. Not many people wanted to be that person. Now that society has made a major shift to the online world, there's a much bigger group of people to interact with and people can hide behind anonymity for the most part. There's no longer a punishment for being a troll and being obnoxious.

With gaming, obnoxious players are never left with nobody to play with. As soon as they're done pissing somebody off, matchmaking sends them to their next victim. The biggest problem with Madden and why I pretty much never play online is because most people aren't even trying to play football. I'm the guy who actually punts on 4th down unless it's short yardage just outside field goal range. I run multiple plays and if I run a cheesy one, it's by complete accident. I don't send messages to my opponent or respond to negative messages sent to me. I don't talk on the mic and can't stand it when I can hear my opponent's mic the entire game. I've played my fair share of online gaming over the past 20 years, but lately I've just enjoying doing all of my gaming offline. Unfortunately, I think online toxicity will only get worse.

Bro this, it’s not just gaming. It’s competition in general. sportsmanship is dead.

Honestly IMO, call me an old head or whatever, but it kinda falls in line with this generation. For the most part nobody wants to figure stuff out on there own,like what are or aren't good plays. As soon as op glitch comes out, they just watch some YouTube videos and spam it to death. Not blaming YouTubers, it's there job and I get it,but it's the quick and easy instead of figuring out things on there own. Every MCS tournament, you see the question "what playbook are they running" a million times....who cares,lol, come up with your own plays

I truly think its because every average person thinks they are the best and when they're losing they cant take it and call stuff "cheese". Or "comp players" MCS dudes thinking If you don't play like them you're trash or don't belong. It's toxic on both ends of it. 

Comp madden ruined this game.

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.

This is exactly how I feel. I just lost to someone who spammed drag routes and corner routes with a really expensive team. I user on one thing but that leaves something else wide open. Corners and drags obviously exist in real life but arent so effective. They have to fix the AI because I can’t cover 5 insane route combos with one linebacker
