I've made a lot of effort to improve my game lately studying ebooks (the free kind, so maybe not the best stuff but there is useful advice) labbing in practice mode to verify information I'm given and to try my own stuff out, working on drills to improve stick skills, etc.
And the more I do this the more it...I hate saying this phrase but..the more it seems like my opponents just catch every break. I get hit while throwing and I fumble. They get an incomplete pass. They go for it on 4th and 25 and it's a guaranteed conversion. If I go for it on 4th and 4 my OL steps aside and I get smacked as soon as I start throwing, gunslinger and all. If I run it's stuffed asap, even on 3rd and 10 or 4th and 4. My receivers drop everything. Opponents make risky throws and my defenders won't pick them off no matter what I do. If anything trying to get an easy pick results in giving them another chance at the ball somehow. I make throws to guys wide open and their DBs make insane breaks and warp to the ball, better at catching than the receivers I send out - 87 Hester, GOAT and 86 Hopkins.
Yeah, you guys probably get it. And it's not that I'm facing better opponents. I just faced one playing 72 Derrick Henry (at least some easy wins still happen I guess) after losing to an 84 Bryce Young, who made nearly every throw they tried while my 89 Vick sailed easy passes every which way. Ugh, this gets so old.
