It is. That's why I will buy again next year. My disdain stems from the exploit cheesiness that a portion of the community finds necessary to utilize. It's not a Madden problem. It's pretty much all pvp online games
I agree with this. In other games even if you're all in meta, it still requires some form of skill be it aiming, situational awareness, etc... Madden doesn't require timing, football iq, or even the best players if youre the youtube exploit type. Honestly I don't think you can have a modern day football game with extensive team playbooks and not have exploits , thats why the older games were better. The more intricate you get with it, the more holes you will have. Given that, its on the community. Luckily that vast majority of meta players don't know how to adjust if you beat their cheese plays. If you play the same clone players over and over and can't find a solution, thats on you because you're not learning. I think the single most problematic issue with non-meta players is they want huge plays every play. Just check it doen and take your 5 yards and it will infuriate the meta player and they will try to manually take that option away which will leave the middle of the field open, then they quit.
