Anyone else tired of the DDA and controlled outcomes?

Posts: 116 |

This game is literally controlled by DDA/AI/ and Animations.

You cant even user your player at all.

One game your OL will blow open holes you could drive a truck through. Next game you cant block anyone.

One game you can use pass lead elite and hit open WRs.....next game you have some guy making a diving INT 15 yards away from the ball.

One game your zone coverage will play well...next game they stand their and play dumb and allowing catch after catch.

What really is irritating is when your players slow down to allow your opponent to get more yards....even when you user them. You can have 99 speed and 99 acceleration and your opponent has 83 speed and 80 acceleration and he runs by you.....

The game is literally controlled. Outcomes are controlled.

Anyone else sick this garbage gameplay?

It's like its NBA Jam.....

On top of it all...EA SPORTS serves are terrible.

Either this or there are cheaters in this game simply ngf lag switches or something....so games it's like the opponents players are 10 steps ahead of mine players. I throw a solid pass and its picked by an acrobat defender. Yet, if they throw a blatantly terrible pass right at my defender he doesnt react.

How could you insult NBA Jam like this? Great game from my childhood!

Anyways…are you setting your user to blitz prior to the snap? If your user has any coverage assignment they will be pulled towards their assignment while you’re taking them in a different direction making them very slow and difficult to control. So you have to change your user assignment to blitz.

I’m not gonna go through this and explain every little thing you’re talking about. Some games I demolish my opponent, some games I get destroyed. I have 4 CB’s with close to 99’s across the board on SPD, ACC, and coverage stats and it doesn’t matter if the opponent recognizes coverages and understands how to exploit them. Play calling and user experience/ability is more important than player stats. You have to find a way around some of this. Instead of rage quitting, stick around and try some different plays until you find something that works better. If you’re already gonna lose it’s not going to hurt you to spend a little time trying to learn. I don’t believe EA is specifically out to get you or anyone else. They just haven’t really fixed any of the poor gameplay this year and everyone playing is experiencing the same stuff. Some players just know exactly what you’re going to do before you do because they’ve seen it a million times. Good luck, I hope you can find some fun in this game, it’s not just about getting a W, it’s a video game.

So why keep playing the game? Every post of yours is about how bad the game and EA are. I don't get it. Why do something, and then post about it, if it makes you miserable? Genuinely asking.

You know I don't particularly enjoy stubbing my toe, so I just seemed to stop stubbing my toe. I didn't post about how the mechanics of my toe are stupid, and then continue to stub my toe willfully...

Because the game sometimes predetermines in his favor and it feels good. Honestly, he's absolutely correct in everything he wrote ... even the NBA Jam reference. Video games are not designed to let you succeed or fail based on merit. They're designed to keep you playing, keep "putting in quarters." This is true now more than ever.

If you don't relate to his frustration, that's fine. But let the man vent in peace. But I doubt you've never been pissed when an AI 82 WR burned your AI 98 CB in man coverage. That's like a high school kid burning Prime in his prime.

Your question might be genuine but it's as foolish as asking a crackhead why they keep doing crack. If you don't know why, they do it because it feels good until it doesn't ... which makes them do it again. Why do you respond to questions on forums if you don't like the OP? Why keep reading the forum?
