my whole team is nerfed?

today my team started playing like an 85 ovr instead of a 98 ovr.

I have been at legend level for like 4 months and I average 15-18 wins in mut champs.

but today, my players dropped every interception, my lineman stopped blocking, on one play i caught a 40 yard pass at the goaline as the quarter ended, but at the beginning of the quarter they took my first down back.

🤔

there was even one play where my db was in coverage on a wr running a streak and my man just fell down.

the only change i made today was picking up larry allen.

i can tell my opponents are trash as they would run commit the wrong way, but the ai ghost tackled my rb.

i noticed a few years ago, i would always win like 8-9 h2h in a row after buying packs.

i aint bought packs in 3 weeks…

is this how it is now?

I feel this way at times...few weeks ago I won like 18 H2H games in a row. Most of them were against some pretty solid guys I felt...haven't changed a thing and been getting my ass kicked recently. No idea what is it haha.

Sounds about right for EA

Yeah same bro. But I am fortunately back on the up and up lol. It could also be you gotta look at your abilities, more cards out there now than when you were stomping ppl so people may have caught up in some areas.

Yeah this stuff happens to me all the time. I typically get 17+ Champs wins whenever I play all 25. Anytime I have a good win streak going l will load into a game where I cannot do anything right. My user falls down all the time, perfectly timed INT’s that don’t animate, terrible defensive pursuit, all kinds of random stuff that I can’t explain.

The strangest thing that happened recently was a couple days ago in a Champs game it was 1st & 10 and I tackled the RB for a 7 Yd loss. The next play should’ve been 2nd & 17. There were NO flags or penalties and it came up as 1st & 10 again...

I’ve had that all happen to me but my favorite is when I all the sudden allow kick off returns after not seeing any for weeks.

usally when you win so much it feelis like that hit you with a nerf they never say it but I almost garunetty that happens

Ya and it doesn't help that you can't see the records of your opponents, we have no idea how matchmaking works. Sure there are divisions but A) some sweats demote themselves to go get easy dubs and B) we have no idea if you match exclusively with people from your division.

DDA that "doesnt exist"

DDA

This might sound stupid but whenever i feel like a player is nerfed ,i sale the player and then buy him back even though i lose the 10% in the AH,and it usually solves the problem.

DDA definitely exists. Almost makes me want to start a 2nd account to see how it goes.

DDA doesn’t exist. ELO does. You’re playing better opponents so you lose more. It’s a confirmation bias thing

nah.

i have played the same opponents in the same day, with the same rosters.

when the only variables that differ are:

dropped interceptions

missed blocks

extra points added to the score

ball placed on opposite goal line after touchback

buttons stop working on random plays

dropped open passes

completed passes changed to incomplete

allowintg a player to use field goal block formation to stop pass plays

🧐

thats dda kid.

as a business model:

making it so inferior players can win incentivizes the casual players to continue playing, while buying packs and generating revenue

💰

the algorithm seeks to level out the mass of players, because if only 30% of the players win all the time:

then 70% will quit playing.

this is NOT a football sim: its a casino style arcade game.

🎲

the same way arcade games would cheat in the 80s so you would keep pumping quarters into them.

👾

i have also noticed correlation between win streaks and buying cash packs.

while losses come consistently at thresh holds of a fieldpass reward, bowl game or any other bonus.

🧐

you know its real when an ea drone tries to argue that it doesnt exist.
