Recently saw people complain about their team’s performance dropping sharply overnight - now I get it
I played a 69 overall 600 power team and managed 8 points. Mind you I am 84 overall 2500 lol. The game makes no sense. His team had super speed and sacked immediately or run losses.
It’s called nerfing. EA nerfs players so people want to get newer players and maybe they spend money to get those newer players. It’s just what EA does. If people love their players too much and never get new ones EA has Less opportunities to make money off its customers.
Weird, I keep seeing all this in game concerns and issues but I have yet to experience a single one!
I’ve played the game since MM15 and, in my experience, some form of this has always been present. I think it’s all part of the RNG structure that is built into gameplay. There will be stretches where no one can do anything right, even against lesser opponents, and others where no-one can stop you no matter their power.
I completely agree with you, I think all this happened with the maintenance earlier this week.
I did notice that I was able to score in arena in 11 seconds last week, which probably made zero sense given my players are like 83 speed. I wonder if they recalibrated speed so that we won’t be running 80 yards in 6 seconds once we get to Onyx players. Maybe they forgot to recalibrate defensive players...
My team is 82 ovr with 1,900 power and up until a few days ago only didn’t score in a few LVL drives all season even against multiple Top 100 opponents with similar overall players as me. As of the last few days, I all the sudden can hardly gain a few yards per run even against far weaker rated opponents. 2 point conversions have become nearly impossible.
Last week I had no issues easily putting up 22 points against an 82 overall in Abusement Park league who is always a top 100 league. This week, we played a league full of 60-65 overall and my 63 overall opponent had a guy in my backfield upon handing off on a 2 point try. His 60 rated players were sprinting all over the field chasing down my Fournette even with two different HB boosts and a few defensive group reducers. The 80 overall I just played was stopping almost every run at a few yards no matter what.
Has EA adjusted settings to make running more difficult in lvl? Or have they just ramped up defenses in lvl or other game modes? I know I’m not alone here given other examples I’ve read and hearing leaguemates make similar comments recently.
