EA FIXED FATIGUE (for now)

They should have just reverted to how it was prior to the fatigue patch.

Instead, we have a bunch of broken mechanics now.

You can run hurry up and spam QB rollouts without any fatigue worries.

They broke the game, again...

i personally like the fatigue, it got people out of sitting in 3-2 all game spamming blitzes every play, they had to think, my defense was hardly affected, carmichael and josh allen were the only 2 that every really got fatigued, and they only got fatigued on runs plays. they should honestly leave it like it was, you'll see the meta change from dollar blitzes or quarter blitzes. sure initiate something for the offense hurry up, i dont hurry up like that cause its lame and i know i can dot you up or just run the rock. but now theyre just handicapping people

I actually liked it as well. I think it could use some tweaking but it added the feeling that I needed depth at all of my positions...

Now people will find a money play or formation and no-huddle on offense every play.

Ahh thats why im seeing those glitch blitz a lot more again .... lame lame lame

Im with you on this one bro. with the fatigue on it never bothered my defense. i play proper defense and never spam or glitch plays. EA needs to bring it back

it did, and it made people play good defense and not just the same youtube defense theyve been running for 5 years, im so sick of everytime i load up the game its spinner, db fire 2, etc. with the patch if they did that all you had to do was run the ball in a heavy set and they got truly weak boxed. all the light players were huffing for air, while the fatty dlinemen were chilling. i noticed alot less blitzing especially every play.

They had to make money off packs selling Madabeast since he didnt get fatigue

Then after everyone opens the packs, disable fatigue lol

simple , u mean ea right? since when did they want that to be in the game,,, that's not how ea rolls,

Well, the most annoying part about this is that it just feels lazy. Which of course, what can I expect with these EA guys other than a lazy attempt to improve the game and then break 10 other things in the process. I think the idea behind it is good, 200 lb safeties shouldn't be able to run into the teeth of the oline play after play without getting fatigued, that makes sense and would help the game feel a bit more real. Would make people have to adjust and not spam safety blitzes through the A gap all game. But, obviously whatever they did spread alot further than just that scenario. Honestly, I really hope they get an actual competitor in the football sim space, because EA has just been a rentseeking company for years at this point. Just like cable companies and airlines, the cost of entry is too high and they know you want what they have even if it's flawed, so they have no reason or incentive to get better. Capitalism at its worst, but yet I will load up and be playing later tonight....sigh...

Fatigue or no Fatigue you bums are going to run the same plays on offense and defense Hoodboss4prez will continue to run you bums

They need to game test before they release stuff. It's nuts that a company so big is having such a huge issue with one of their biggest IPs. It's embarrassing. I hate to say this but they need to clean house. Profits are up because of the micro transactions but the game sits at a 1 out of 5 stars, and it would be lower if it could be. It's the only pro football game on the market, so some of us weather the storm, but they're losing out on a huge amount of the fan base because so many people refuse to play. M24 is worse, wayyyy worse, than M23. It's a joke. An RPO cheap ass spam Cover 4 joke

And I feel like something is off still. I played some solo battles last night and my defense felt like they were clueless all game. Maybe it’s just me but it felt more rigged than usual

Agree on this- the game just feels off for some reason.

Hopefully it was just me and EA just hating me for whatever reason. But it did. Hopefully when I play later tonight, it won’t be so “rigged” against me.
