Hey EA... I think it's time we TOOK BOTS OUT OF RANKED OVERDRIVE
EA doesn’t care... you shouldn’t either. To the extent people keep playing, they don’t need to care. 🤷♀️
Quote from bLu >> LOL, Bots are fucking BS.
So I go into a losing streak in gold, so the game decides to "help" me out by putting me against a 2500 bot who then passed every challenge and destroy me. F*** EA.
GET RID OF THOSE F***ING BOTS. I don't care if I have to wait 5 mins for a match.
I have felt this many times, and then stopped playing for the remainder of the day. Lately one bad rigged match and I'm not touching OD for at least a couple days, Playoff Event failures are giving enough blitz tokens anyways!

Yet, the fact it can take an extended amount of time to find a match and can be the same person 3 times in a row sometimes, I wouldn't be surprised if they implemented more bots into the game seeing that majority of the user base (and likely staff) has abandoned this game.

Because they were lazy and rushed this product called, "Madden Overdrive," yes they do need bots.
But with the exclusive gaming license to the NFL brand on a major platform (mobile devices) to need computer AI players to augment a potentially international playerbase made up of millions in time zones all around the world...

I apologize for not being more clear here, and I think you misinterpreted my language to build up a straw argument. ALWAYS means in this context that without exception of tier (Silver, Gold, Elite, HOF) I have been matched with bots. Meaning that my tier does not matter, nor does my rank; no factors can escape me from the bots, hence I always (regardless of tier) get matched with bots.

I did not mean, as you understood, that every match of overdrive I play is against a bot. This is not the case nor what I intended to say and I hope you now understand my argument a little better.

Congrats on being ranked 200, I have made HOF each season but the tier rewards haven't been worth my time since early this year when film reels mattered and when the player reward was an upgrade for my team.

When the game is slow, people gotta find something to do. For me, it's rant on YouTube. For others, they do it here.
True tho. These rants serve more justice than those who suffer in silence tbh.

Quote from Elderman69 >> Didn't we call EA out on their match-rigging algorithm, and didn't they embarrassingly admit to it, and didn't they promise to change it?
No, this never happened. They admitted there were bots, and stated unequivocally (yet again) that it had nothing to do with "match rigging" and that there was no rigging. Believe them or don't believe them, but don't put words in their mouth that aren't even remotely close to what they actually said.
Meanwhile, here's an artists rendering of what OD would look like without the bots:
Unfortunately there aren’t enough real players to justify removing the bots.
Unbelievable. For what feels like the millionth time, I have to say I lost several matches in a row to bots. Not meaningless unranked matches, but real, fans-on-the-line, actual stakes matches.
Didn't we clear this up in October?

I can't be the only one, right? Help me out and tell me if you're experiencing the same thing.
In my experience, you can usually tell right away when playing against a bot. Ask yourself: Is my offense rendered nigh-incapable? Does my O-line behave like synchronized swimmers while my deep threats run behind their DB's like they're trying to flat-tire their cleats? Does my QB trip over his own feet during shotgun like he's back at his own middle school dance?
