Yeah. I had 90 Marino miss a wide open receiver 20 yards downfield by ... well, like he threw it away. Had that happen both times I tried in one game. In the same game, EA had some fun with my defense, too, by changing the rotation order when I would try to make individual adjustments to players. Sometimes it went CB, FS, SS. Other times it went CB, FS, LE. Always a surprise. Thanks, EA, for making the game far less predictable.

I'm maybe average. Some days, I play better and will make a run into All-Madden for a few seasons. Other times, I just lose patience and make dumb mistakes and drop to Pro. One thing is to play, and notice when you play somebody who makes you think, "Dang, this person is really good!" When you're on offense, watch which player they user and watch how they use them. What did they do they shut you down? How did they bait you into an INT? When you're on defense, what did they do on offense that beat you (was it playcalling, scrambling, adjustments, or even an in-play adjustment/rerouting)?   Compare what you saw to what was called. Those can often tell you about some coverage adjustments (for instance, did it look like they were supposed to be in curl zones, but were actually playing hard flats? Might have been an adjustment).   On offense, I used to just call plays, but I'm getting in the habit of considering route combinations. So, I may use a play 6 or 7 times, but I'm adjusting 1-2 routes per call so it's never the exact same, though, post play, it'll look like the same play call. It makes a real difference.

It's not flashy, but if you tend to play conservative games, taking points, staunch defense, etc, they're totally worth it. Being able to kick 50+ yard FGs or 40+ in heavy wind will win games. The most that I've paid for a card this year (at the AH) was for a kicker because once you get a really good one, you don't need to upgrade much more on it, unlike other positions at this time.

He beat me 12-7, but it was easily the best and most fun game that I've played H2H this year so far. No cheese plays, lots of adjustments and user moves. Felt a lot like chess and a game of trying to catch-up and get-ahead. No real point to the post, only that we often focus on the "cheesers" and scummy players, and I wanted to go in a different direction.

I’ve had this issue a lot and only this year. Almost every time, if another player is making defensive adjustments and shifts, I can’t snap the ball or make my own adjustments. I’ve receiced a few delay of game penalties, despite having been set at the line with 8-10 seconds on the clock. I’ve also had my adjustments be ignored (e.g. calling an audible) because I tried to do it while an opponent has been making defensive adjustments. Has anybody else had these problems?

Just got mine this morning!

3 more daily objectives and I get Shazier! Though 112 online victories needed to get the extra 500k.

The passing TDs and Rushing TDs are best through the 99 yard gauntlet challenges. Though you’d would theoretically get more yards/td than needed for TDs (still, with solos necessary, you get padded stats anyway). I wound up grinding the 99 yard passing solo to get my last 35k passsing yards (took a few hours- mindless). Now I am 3 daily objectives from 95 Shazier, though I have done H2H only a few times (have about 550 solos done).    When youre doing thr passing ysrd grind, so something else at the same time to preserve mental sanity

I used to send messages after I lost - especially if I was dominated - saying “gg, you really kicked my butt!”     Now that I think about it, I used to have to send that a lot.    I still got so many messages and even death threats or requests for me to commit suicide that I just blocked messaging completely (after reporting the worst offenders). It’s a shame. There were some really cool people out there.
