Luckiest opponent I have ever seen

Just played a champs game...I was undoubtedly outplaying him the whole time. He couldn't stop me whatsoever. I would advance all the way to the red zone in a matter of 3-5 plays or less. The problems would always happen when I got there and SO MANY receivers dropped the ball in key moments, end zone or otherwise. One interception was really unlucky, somehow the CPU picked me off with a sick jump, though it was in somewhat tight coverage and I can be kinda gunslingy so I accept the consequences that comes with it. His user rarely actually took anything away, while I easily lurked him a couple of times. If I ran the ball he somehow insta block shed and hit me as soon as I got to the wide open hole he was leaving every play (he never even made a single visible adjustment on defense). Meanwhile I would set up gaps to hit the exact run plays I knew he would call, exactly when he called it, and somehow the most insane blocks picked up and prevented him getting hit for a loss of yards. 

I played it solid and safe, took a FG when down two possessions early in the game etc. I had some trouble stopping him on defense, as he wasn't a joke or anything; he was a legit opponent on offense and at least deserved to win some games, even if not really against me. At the end of the game, when only up less than one possession, he went for it on 4th and long near his OWN END ZONE and got sacked at the 2, barely avoiding the safety. It got tough because again with the drops..I go for it on 4th down because I'm down by 6...I dodge pressure, throw to a curl, possession catch and bam, money...except somehow the same receiver got FLAGGED FOR TOUCHING, which I have NEVER SEEN THAT HAPPEN by a computer controlled WR before and it gets taken back..my opponent gets the ball and game over. While it's fairly inconsequential if I win or lose in champs, and I'll certainly take the moral victory, I found this one hilariously frustrating, frustrating and hilarious, etc. Of course he celebrated whenever he scored, but hey, take what you can get I guess (I never celebrate myself). Figured I'd vent/share the story. Hopefully someone gets a laugh out of it or whatever.

I just had a guy throw into the endzone from the 50 to kyle pitts with cover 4 on and 5 people were standing on him and he completed it.......... so i feel your pain.

Oh yeah, we've all seen that one. It's insane how DBs can just randomly go drunk mode in the middle of a big play. And I know people know what I'm talking about and have been there, but I'm not gonna lie and act like I don't get some breaks sometimes so it balances out and it's all a process. I'm not really upset beyond the moment to moment BS during the game but I reminded myself it's for competitive pass rewards and getting Fields. The game decided that guy was gonna win the battle, but I'll take the war anyways.

I just had a game the other day where I threw a beautiful touchdown in the corner and it got called back for the same thing, illegal touching. Had never seen it until then. Didn’t lose or anything because of it so that’s definitely a tough way to go out

In my game, this guy threw a hail mary at the end of the first half. I have pick artist on 2 of my dbs that were there, and it bobbled like 3 times and then he caught it at the 25-30 yd line. Then he broke like 2 tackles and went in for the touchdown. He did this with 85 Michael mayer.

Haha, that sounds like classic EA. Every Madden there are YouTube videos and such of that kind of stuff. I find myself almost forgetting critical thinking for a moment reading this one, because technically it is possible it's exaggerated or not entirely truthful in some form, but it's sad how easy it is to take these things at their word because of how insanely random the game can be. (I fully believe you because I've seen some pretty crazy stuff, just saying, it's wild how easy it is to believe it without even thinking)
