Why is this community ok with cheating and exploits?

Just wondering why this community is cool with people blatantly cheating by using exploits and glitches.

You would think it would be frowned upon, but people watch youtube/twitch and buy ebooks teaching them how to glitch and exploit the game (cheat).

I don't understand why this is such an issue with Madden.  

If EA just made it clear that glitching/exploiting/cheating would get you banned, it wouldn't happen...but instead you have their commentators on the MCS yelling "screamer" every time double mug glitches through the line like it takes skill to exploit the game.  What a joke.

Because about 90% of the community that’s all they know. Most take a big L in life so they think it’s fine to do whatever online to build themselves up.

This is also the worst Madden in 5 years so most casuals have left or stayed on CFB so it’s basically a bunch of people who will run every shitburner play they can find on offense or defense off of YouTube and thibk they are actually playing the game.

How about...I don't know...crazy idea here....EA actually FIXES these problems and actually stay in touch with the community when it comes to these issues? EA should ban themselves from Madden for just allowing it all to happen. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

Simple answer? Bcs it's a pay to win mode and people are literally invested in it.

I completely disagree with this sentiment. There were glitches (route stem), but the latest patch cleared that up. As for the double mug mid blitz, this is a skill gap. Sure, a casual with 4-5 plays is going to get killed by this D, but there are simple adjustments on offense that’ll get people out of this defense - half shift away from the RB, block your RB and ID Mike on the user. I’ve typically just run stretch plays or quick passes to get people out of the mid blitz. After 2-3 series of it not working, they quit out or abandon mid blitz. Sometimes I get cooked and can’t do anything but that’s usually a result of a dominant user/switch stick player. 

Look, if you’re looking for a sim game, I get your frustration. Unfortunately, madden (and certainly MUT) isn’t your game. It’s a video game first and foremost.

I'm not cool with it, but people taking advantage of things in the game is to be expected. The glitch-type stuff that is being exploited is what needs to be fixed. It would be very unreasonable for them to ban people rather than fix their issues.

DJONES13 you apparently are an ex pro player, whats happening this year that wasnt happening in 23 or 22 lmao?

So, the issue really is with EA for not patching or assisting with overpowered stuff like mid blitz. By extension, arguably the NFL and the exclusive license retained for the "simulation game" that Madden is supposed to be, and simply isn't. I wouldn't blame the community for taking advantage of the terrible blocking never doing anything about A gap blitzing or whatever else, and this is an important distinction. There's always an OP blitz every year that allows people to play defense without thinking. I myself want to do my own stuff and specifically avoid going meta, but I don't blame people wanting an advantage or mitigating any disadvantage they can. Exploitive of bad coding, sure, but wouldn't equate it to the level of stem glitching, which most people in my experience weren't doing when it was a thing.

Double mug needs to be patched this defense is bum friendly. People are exploiting it for easy wins. Every game I play in champs people are using it smh. It’s not fun seeing it every game.

I do this and sometimes I block the TE too and they still come in over the A gap. Some games even slants, quick out, or drags don’t work lol 😆

It easy to tell who’s cheesing the game by thier responses smh. Bunch of bums.

Good day
 

it’s not that double mug needs to be patched. What needs to be fixed or tuned into the game as people spam one defense over and over because the game can’t function properly with adjusting because if anyone in any level of football , high school , college or pro continued running the same defense the coach would easily know a play or how to stop and Madden this doesn’t happen. Therefore there should be something that should happen like a penalty call or something to stop people from running the same play over and over on defense.

Yeah, sad to say a lot of them probably are taking a big L in life 😭😭

EA should definitely patch things, but if they are unable to do so quickly with things like the double mug, they should just issue a statement that anyone caught using it will be banned (glitching/exploiting is actually against the TOS, and also against the MCS rules technically.)
