All suddenly do the same thing? Like you run into a guy doing something very new and unusual (one recent example is a guy literally doing a kind of misdirection end around over and over and over, then occassionally when you stop it mixing up something else but with the same formation and look presnap) 

Other examples include what HAS to be a relatively new way/habit of intentionally using certain formations to isolate some of your coverage guys into being wasted and covering no one and/or switching into covering each others opposite side of the field.

Cant be a coincidence right? This morning when I ran into the same end around spamming I did as last night (first time i had seen it) I actually thought I just somehow ran into the same guy again but it wasnt. What are the odds?

He who? Lol the first end around guy did i think. The one this morning I quit when I saw the same nonsense repeating itself. As for the guys with the wonky formation stuff i mentioned exploiting the games programming, usually no. Lol not any more or less than normal players.

Because it’s a Play to win game? If I’m in a formation or play you haven’t shown you can stop, I’m going to keep running it.

if you adjust to it, then I’ll adjust to something that counters that adjustment. It’s a chess match. 
 

and as far as people running the same thing? just like the NFL, it’s copycat. If I see someone doing something I can’t stop, Im inclined to try it out.

I compared the NFL being copycat to Madden being copycat... it's the same thing. People watch the MCS and then try to run the same scheme those guys do. As effective? No... but they at least try.

Did they keep doing it even after you didnt follow suit? If not that was probably their hint/offer to just "help each other out" (let each other run up the stats for objectives progress) lol

Ran into 2 guys in a row that we did this with in Monster Mayhem to finish out the pass... The first game took a while... It was like 100 to 44 at half lol... i needed the FGs. Both obliged after i sent messages and came out in FG block the first couple of plays

In MUT champs that's a hint for you to do the same...you can run up the stats and get all challenges done in 1 game if you both participate

This... Crossers, posts and rolling out the QB.. In some form or fashion. Gets old sometimes.

if you’re doing that you’re exploiting the game your not some football genius. It must get boring just running the same cheese every game.
