Tl;dr To fix mechanics remove all but a few balance updates so that we return to early August mechanics where most people were happy or impressed!   I think that one of the things that everyone here, including EA, can agree is broken and is in desperate need of fixing is mechanics. The mechanics in this game are broken to a level so severe that you can't go a single OD match without seeing at least 2 or 3 things that make you go wtf. Some of these things have bigger consequences than others, and as such lead to much frustration in the community. Anytime I log on to Reddit, and visit this sub there are always at least two new posts chronicling broken mechanics and their infuriating or hilarious results. If you look at the comments they are almost always filled with rage and frustration at how broken the mechanics are, and how there seems to be no prospect of them getting any better. Because of this I want to propose something to EA that wouldn't fix every single mechanics issue, but would rather help us get started back in the right direction. It is a rather absurd proposal at first glance, but one that could work significant magic within the game.

Easy-to-use controls huh?  CHF did a video on advanced controls in the game back when he was a GC, but the videos are unlisted on his channel and can only be viewed on EA's website.

Quote from BradyBaby >> I don’t understand why the people who struggle are always the ones wanting players/coaches nerfed because they can figure out how to counter plays. Play some season games and get good at a handful of running and passing plays. He isn’t unbeatable. Maybe upgrade your team as well  I do my 32 season games, I practice all plays, and I'm a 95 ovr. What more do you want? Some scheme's cannot beat Nagy because EA gave them no consistent run plays, or shut down completely the few good run plays they had.

Quote from JEB90x >> Or you might try learning to run the ball.  I play Hudson plus Nagy and love to match up with another Nagy user.  Calling for nerfing other players to make up for your shortcomings...  sigh I know how to run the ball. My personal issues with Nagy are as follows.   1. I am a vert user. This means I have two good run plays that work 60% of the time. If EA would create better balanced scheme playbooks I'd have no complaints. Instead I face Nagy and know I am guaranteed a loss in most cases because I have two good run plays that don't even work consistently.   2. His pressures are broken. Consistently I have games where I face each Nagy pressure 2-3 times. My opponent gains points each time I fail. Usually this means at the end of the game I get back to back to back pressures that can award my opponent 185 points each time I fail. That totals up to more than 540 points from broken pressures at the end. Not to mention the other repeats I face. Basically a Nagy user could not play at all, run broken pressures and most likely win the game. How is that fair?

One thing we have seen from EA is that they don't like fixing things that are broken. Looking at events, LvL, OD, ball spotting, mechanics, and finally H2H from years past. Clearly the AH is extremely broken in so many different ways. This makes me concerned/wondering what the AH future is.   What do y'all think?
