what do you guys think of the "protected" ability for quarterbacks?

is it worth it?

No. Ill expand on this answer.

Only pass protection ability that is worth it is Secure Protector and that is because it helps agaisnt x-factors. Those don't come until later MUT. 

Other than that, Madden is coded for the pass rush to shed at 3 seconds unless your opponent gets a quick shed. And, depending on the game and the situation in the game it can happen. 

Madden wants games close. Easy to see when they're favoring the opponent. I mean, we all have all seen it even on our own teams at times. 

A deep half comes all the way across the field to get an animation and  intercept a pass that should never be intercepted by a deep half? Oh, it happens.

Or, how about this....if I run streak/corner combos and my opponent has their corner in a deep third or a quarter, they have eyes in the back of their head.

Now, if my opponent does that to me? My CB does nothing. Doesnt have eyes I'm the back of his head. 

DDA is real and so is RNG, which is a part of DDA.
