It's Saturday, first weekend of the big annual harvest promo. First chance to really sit down and grind. Solo battles don't work. House rules is a punt fest. H2H is freeze glitch and meta.
Start a solo battle and get "Invalid lineup". Even when you've changed nothing. That bug has been in the game 2 years. Hats off to the guys who slogged through the Elway sets but the user interface on the set builder is so bad it probably doubles the time it should take to do those sets. Bad design. Bad implementation.
What a thread to start off my weekend.
Might I ask if you are on Old Gen or Current Gen?
I still play on old gen... and other than the freeze glitchers and FG block exploiters... I don't see muvh difference in the game play experience from past years. Sure there are OP formations and plays that you see way too often. But for me part of the fun is figuring out how to stop meta cheesers because many of them aren't that good, which is why they stay in what's easy. This year... for me... what I see in probably half my games is Gun Trips TE... with some Gun Tight and Gun Bunch or Bunch TE sprinkled in.
On defense... I hardly see Spinner or Over Storm or any Cover 0 because those are easily burned for 1 play TDs. What I see is all flavors and variations of Cover 3. In past years I had a wide range of C3 beaters. But they removed a lot of those formations from my Saints PB in M23... and what's left just doesn't work that well. Give me anything else... C2, C4, C6, Palms... Quarters... and if that is your go to defense, then you're gonna get roasted.
Anyway... whatever our collective miserable experience is with Madden... we still come back for more. I'm about to embark on 25 WL games today. "The horror! The horror!"

Yep.....trash meta, trash rewards, trash promos, etc etc etc lol man i hate that i love football so much
The creators of this game have 0 football IQ. It shows on every level
I 100% agree. The fact that low IQ players can just sit in small player personnel and total destroy power run formations is beyond me. I just played a guy that sat in dollar and completely shut down power I run plays. This has only worked the last few years and this was the beginning of this nonsense. 1 play should not stop everything. This game is shit.
It’s amazing how I run a Single back run play to the outside because my opponent is running DB fire and the blitz player on the right hand side never gets picked up 🤦♂️ we’re talking a three-man line with a Blitzer on the outside against seven and a tight end and a fullback ..that’s nine people !!!!! and yet the Blitzer always gets in 🤦♂️ try it yourself and see
this is hysterical 😭
Exactly. I'm 43 and been playing madden since 91. This shit has never worked until 3 or 4 years ago. The last few years of madden do not represent any logic when it comes to football. I see dollar formations completely shut down goal line runs. That's obviously should never happen no matter who's on the field
Just played 3 h2h games and it was nothing but me raging. Hopefully the patch after next week fixes this field goal block glitch. Every damn game I gotta deal with this 🗑 smh
And it’s not just MUT 🤦♂️ the franchise Sean Grady promised never happened years ago 🤦♂️he stood there telling everybody how great and different franchise is going to be yet now they’re going to get updates three times a season 😂😂😂. Thee entire GAME is trash 🗑

EA can suck my d*ck from the back.
Are you an EA shill? How many WL games do you typically win, what division(s) are you in?
You’re missing the point 🤦♂️ it’s not about how many wins I get or lose it’s about maybe some people don’t want to be so competitive as you and some people maybe wanna play a game type a certain way run a certain scheme but they can’t because the game is so terribly programmed the only thing that they go up against are exploiters running one play on d and offense. these things are going on in franchise or regs it’s not just mut
P.s. it’s not WL. It’s champions ✌️

It's a good thing I play this game with nobody around me. Would probably be in jail right.
🤣🤣🤣 Same. One time I needed to chase off a roommate, so I moved my set up into the living room, and I was playing Madden every time he came in from work. He's was gone within two months.
Right now in there’s latest debacle of gameplay there’s a harvest 🦃 HR
Yesterday I had a freaking punting battle bc EA can’t think of play there own games and see issues so for that HR is a failure. Just another reason why this game is trash 🗑
I don't play much online. Not worth the head ache. I do grind challenges, SB, etc. But I've loved building a team through market exploit, sets, etc and I do all of that because I enjoy ripping packs for the jackpot. All this as NMS. But EA is a bunch of crooks. They've taken away any of the fun of the above by making rerolls an absolute negative, making sets unrealistic to the cost and worst of all, they make mistakes at every turn of the corner. Don't even get me started on the store, it's a complete money grab even compared from just a couple of years ago.
When they actually acknowledge mistakes they either purposely slow to make rights or don't do them at all. People are running around with Deion and all the joy that should have. I, along with surely many others, missed weeks of XP and they acknowledged this weeks ago, corrected is a week + ago yet still are "working on a resolution" yet they do make rights for TVP not having LTD's in a day.
They're absolute crooks and have taken all the fun out of the game. Even Vegas knows that you got to let the customer feel like they CAN win to keep them around awhile. I just watched CC pull 130 Harvest reroll's and he didn't roll one over an 84 and only got like 15 of them. That's an absolute joke. They've stripped all the fun from the game.
Which is another reason why the game is trash 🗑 imagine waiting 5 weeks to get a 88 Bnd after playing FOR HOURS to get them to use at that time 🤦♂️ There’s so many reasons why this game is trash 🗑.
Then you go into game and your up against the current exploits 🤦♂️ Which are at the moment gun tight and over storm brave . Also I want to find out it has nothing to do about it’s easy to beat or not because that might be the case for you but not for some casual that wants to run different plays and can’t so he quits only to go up against the same crap again…and again…and again.
See my point 🤷♂️

TLDR
Why was that post necessary? If you don't like the man's post keep it moving. I'm gonna TL/DR every post YOU make and let's see how you like it.
Says the Madden player that posts how to delay games because it's fun to waste peoples time. SMH. Please TL/DR every one of my posts if it keeps you from playing Madden H2H.
TL/DR In fact, I'm gonna go grief some players right now, in your honor.

Nah, the game rules. Keep posting tho
As someone who should hate the game im still enjoying it. First my field passes didnt work until last week. Then 2 weeks ago i received an AH ban amd coin wipe( still waiting on decision of that). Havnt spent money since the ban but am still having fun. Gameplay is better this year than it has been since 16. U can actually run or throw depending what u like to do
this is really just an embarrassing direction of how the game is played and EA knowing about it and doing absolutely nothing. 👎
What I’m talking about is every year you have to go up against some exploit ( which proves my point… the game is trash ) and it goes on game after game after game 🤦♂️ how many years are you just gonna jump on and play a game and it’s just the same plays from the last game and it goes on game after game after game 🤦♂️ this is gone all the way back from the times of Mike scrape but of course it’s gotten worse . It’s to the point that all you see is one ☝️ play on O and one ☝️ on D
last year it was Mike blitz and pa throne over and it’s happening this year again. First it was LB blitz then spinner now every game you play it’s gun tight and overtstorm brave 🤮. Like the game is glitchy enough as it is and now you have to go up against people that are exploiting the game , game after game.🤮
Just the fact that this goes on every day game after game tells you how trash this game is 🤮 Not to mention You got people who lost millions of coins and got banned for trying to do THIER John Elway team diamond set 🤦♂️ their field past system is a disaster. The promos are nothing innovative it’s just rinse and repeat from previous year with new card opening art 😂🤦♂️. That’s the only work that they actually put into the game is the promo card art when you get packs 🤦♂️ .
There’s scripted gameplay and it’s so obvious like never before. I can simply just say ask yourself this ….how many close games are you in 🤷♂️isn’t it like that every time you get on 🤷♂️ This game is a joke😂🤦♂️😂 We’re going into almost 4 months and I still have no clue What field senses is 🤷♂️ Don’t even get me started on dropped passes again or hi point passes 🤦♂️ This game is 🗑
