AKA X-factors ruined the game

Agreed anyone who runs these cards have 0 pride or skill

uh no, all of these cards are 100 percent stoppable, just run the right defense thats good at stopping the run, if still that doesnt work, maybe you just need better linebackers or DEs

I agree it does require less skil. I had to dump my Gus on Ravens tt because I was getting lazy with my reads in the run game.

I personally have no problem shutting down these x-factors but the RB competition is horrible. I run Marshawn Lynch Sugar Rush on my tt and he just doesn't compare to what I see these aka running backs do

It ruined the game because all other cards are obsolete. makes no sense to use any other RBs

exactly. People complain about X factor backs are sitting in dollar and you get 10 yards before you’re touched. It’s not like having the X factor is helping you, it’s called terrible run D. Honestly good run D out of nickel set you can get them down easy if you have a good user, you shoot a gap and hit them and the d line crash’s around and finish them off.

I run nickel almost always. If someone designs their offense to purely run it’s almost impossible to stop. User will get pancaked by a nasty streak almost every play so shooting a gap is insanely hard. I can run commit in the correct direction and my whole defense will get leveled. any time I get matched with a top 100 player who only runs I know it’s over. Not fun at all

you are right, and i still enjoy this game this year, and i haven't played madden since 19 which was a disease of a game. i enjoy this year and i write it moments after being destroyed 42-7 in h2h. the game is not perfect whatsoever but i find it enjoyable

I play mut every other year and it’s always annoying, but it’s beatable except for this year. Started in season 3 and playing catch up is rough but  I’ll  take the challenge. going against freight train simps  is almost impossible when your overall is behind the average  especially if you’re building a balanced team and when most people focus on their secondary. 

 frustrating to see people run the same play 50 times in one game  with no stick skills  or strategy. watching them run into their own linemen all game and still break off for 80 yds after breaking 5 tackles is atrocious. 
 

will definitely be my last year buying madden until there’s new developers

Honestly I use warrick dunn because I really don’t like to spend coins on a running back. I use to have quadfather and warrick Dunn splitting carries. Now I just use Warrick Dunn

I actually don't have a problem vs x factor players such as Gus , Quad father, Flash ( who I have) Saquad and whomever that feels that they can cheese because my Quarter añd Nickel will shut dat shyt down . You get you two strong users in the box with a solid defensive line using legendary strat LB Heavy blitz , or DL run stuff, you won't have to worry about them just focus on the pass the main problem we had to worry about for years .

They really just are annoying and everybody but me has Flash, Quadfather, or The Bus. I have Josh Jacobs's Gamechanger. People that run those three guys to death really have no skill and they know it. So it's basically every game that that happens. 

Do you agree with me?

I agree with you SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH (sounded sarcastic but isn’t). Barry was the only gold 99 rb and should’ve been used by all the god squads but no, people still use a rb from when, febuary (quadfather)? I used gus the bus but recently switched to faulk. both are really good, i enjoy playing with faulk more, but then a guy has a rb duo of barry and like quadfather and it’s so annoying. they should reserve the special x factors for field pass players like what they did with mega tron and gronk. that way, to steamroll people, you need to work for it.

Rodg is the most annoying because I’ll be one step away from the KO and then he breaks the tackle after the catch!

They cam be annoying yes, but most of them aren't to hard to stop if you use the right formations, Sam Will Blitz out of 4-3 EVEN 6-1 is great for stopping the run, using d-linemen with 1 or 0 ap inside stuff is a good idea too. However, the best solution to it, at least for me, is to run a ball-control, West coast/spread offense to keep my opponent off the field. My games tend to be low scoring, but a win is a win.

That’s not even the most annoying thing! The Flash was Jerry Rices nickname and obviously The Bus was Jerome Bettis nickname! LOL

I'm a Packer fan, have been my whole life, so damn right I'm gonna use Dillon. When he was released, he was the first upgrade we got at RB all year. I also have TOTY Aaron Jones, and split my carries between the two.

Also, quite disingenuous of you to say that ppl that use them 'have no skill'. I'd say that if you're getting beat by everyone using them, then that's a you problem. There are certainly ppl that use them that have no idea how to run the ball (I'm looking at you Stretch spammers lol). Very easy to stop. My whole game is run, run, run, and dare I say I'm pretty good at it. If you stop me, then good on ya. If you don't, I wanna see no complaints when Dillon (and Jones) are running untouched for big gains. Love the ppl that bitch about the X-Factor when that happens lol.

If you can’t pass just say that
