To those say there’s no dda, elo, pre-determined outcomes, w/e else it may be called, please explain this
Quote from Bearsman16 >> Quote from Sulaiman23 >> When you throw that first pick just put the game down so it doesn't ruin your day. Let EA have the games it wants you to lose.
There's nothing you can do so there's nothing you should do.
That's why several of the top players have win percentages over 85%.... because EA wants you to lose. I don't know why I even read messages around here. Instead of anyone focusing on actually improving gameplay and things they can do to get better the conversation is always transitioned to 'there is nothing you can do about it'. You guys keep drinking that Kool-Aid all day long please. It'l make life easier for the rest of us when we match up.

I think a string of bad RNG can cause people to believe OD has DDA/rigged gameplay. Especially at the end of close games, people take notice of dropped catches, bad o-line play, etc but when you’re up 1000 points on your opponent, you’re not going to care much about failing a pressure or an incomplete pass

Quote from Dbzfan614 >> Glad to see lot of responses from both side of the shop even from person who doesn’t play has an opinion. So here we go, again matched with a similar ovr but I had higher ovr. We were even for a bit then bam, ea does ea my wr can’t catch anything and dbs are Superman. Can someone who thinks od is not rigged explain this? It’s not like ovr, power, players, captain, coach he’s, etc changed... Screenshot snipped
-As do people who have never read (or even skimmed) the actual DDA and EOMM documents (but, in some cases, still feel completely free to post links to them like they are the most damning thing ever).

A lot of ppl above are acting like there's a lot of skill required to be "good" at OD... I finished in the 200s in ranking, last OD season, and I can tell you that there's not. Skill to play a maligned mode in a freaking mobile game, really?
The random winning/losing streaks go without saying. During those losing streaks, there is literally nothing you can do. Formations are perfectly tailored to nullify whatever play you call. DBs just, simply, go God-mode. Someone said that the OP throwing 4 picks proves that it was his fault, not the game's; odd argument, at least in my humble opinion. And during those winning streaks, you see opponents score in the 400s while you're bombing away into the 1,500s. All the time, you've been doing the same thing. Only difference is that you've been consistently been burning 85 Xavien Howard while 76 OVR Logan Ryan is Mossing the heck out of 85 Larry Fitz and 85 Zach Ertz. Sometimes your strategy works seamlessly, sometimes it just flat-out doesn't.

Also one added note. The flat line you see is also a contribution of pressure. As game progress defense get better. Defense hit harder making difficult to catch the ball, defense get faster as game progress, all of these thing contribute to your wr play crap which lead to flat line. So if you are a vertical player and want to bomb late game you need to be able to read defense pre snap.
You say 1 ovr different but honestly it can be a major different.
He can have all silver special team but elite every where else and his ovr could be lower because of it. And you can have a higher ovr special team that help boost your ovr number.
Another reason you can't base on ovr is not every player at the same ovr play the same. Aaron donald 85 is better than Short 85.
Keep seeing these post where people use ovr as a base for comparing is tiring.

Were the defensive formations called against you more unfavorable compared to when you win? Were you dropping wide open balls or contested? Did you start making bad decisions b/c of the frustration of things not working?
so after winning six in a row sitting in the 600s run into this guy with 1 higher ovr, 20 power ovr so we should be even right? Clearly if there’s no dda or predetermined outcomes how the frak is this possible? Can ea or their apologist explain this?
