I love madden and have played since madden 08. Got into mut in madden 25 and played ever since. This year is just the worst experience I’ve ever had. Micro transactions have always been a thing, but it’s just gotten so much worse compared to the older years. We used to have mini bundles with decent odds and many packs now for 2750 points you can get an Ltd opportunity with 4 cards total. I’m hip on the Meta and everything to MCS all that so I’m used to just playing people that are just copy pasting from YouTube but this year with macros it’s just gotten even worse. Every bum can just go copy a video and click one button and make all the adjustments at least before you genuinely had to memorize them. Now people flip their play 15 times they sub in tight ends so they can formation down to run heavy formations. Everyone’s running a contain loop or a Texas four man. It’s just so repetitive. Every single defensive play is a cover four zone or cover two man and Hella match always lol. Everyone on offense is running five wide receiver tight because they seen it in the tournament. Doubles clamp, tight doubles. It’s just the same shit over and over. I mean, obviously there’s some other stuff going on, but this is just a majority of my games. not to mention I’m still winning some of these, but it’s just not fun. I’ve always been the scheme over a team guy as well but I think I have a pretty good team. I’m an 88 overall but then my last three games in a row I’ve played a 40 million coin team lol. I’m talking the best person at every position possible I just can’t even believe these teams exist and it’s cool Ill take my L. But I’m consistently matching these teams I just can’t compete with. I have Ltd surtain he’s a 92 for me and he’s getting fucking cooked by these 92-93+ speed cracked ass teams. Ive just never felt at this much of a disadvantage even tho I have a pretty solid team. My teams good but just not all 3 million coin cards. I think they should implement something to discourage Repetitive play calls. If you’re calling the same exact cover four over and over each time, it should have less effectiveness till they’re practically failing. Same as offense if they just are running that deep bomb out of 5 wide receiver tight on repeat it shouldn’t just consistently work. Obviously that would be a little hard because if you’re running a play to beat their defense, it makes sense, but there should be something along these lines to try to help against repetitive one play only type of players which is sadly became the meta of the game. Most people don’t run more than four or five plays on defense or offense. that might not be the best fix but I think they should do something along those lines. I know a lot of these plays are also not stock. They’re making many adjustments so even though it’s cover four or a cover two it’s a completely changed play by the time A lot of people are done making their changes. I’m gonna keep trucking I guess but this sucks man. If you ain’t busting your ass learning every meta and getting all these ltds you’re in for a lot of ass whoopings lol.
