That's what I don't quite get about the whole DDA conversation. Apparently sometimes DDA helps the lesser team win, sometimes it's to force you to get better cards, sometimes it's because you won too many games in a row, sometimes it's when you are losing.
Just because in a particular game RNG favors your opponent more than you on 50/50 plays doesn't mean it's DDA. Last week at the casino I rolled a Hard Eight twice in a row and won $500. Sometimes it just the luck of the draw.
No, you pretty much nailed it. That's the "D" in DDA. Dynamic. Sometimes it's for you, sometimes it's against you. The whole point is to keep you "engaged" in the game. Perhaps this visual below will be useful. And again, keep in mind, DDA isn't some Madden-specific concept or idea. It's been around in video games for close to 4 decades.
In any game with RNG based outcomes , that's going to happen. Doesn't mean it's nefariously predetermined.
Ive been playing Madden for a long time. And i've played plenty of games where it felt like The Madden gods didn't want me to win. Plenty of those came before ultimate team even existed, with my opponent sitting right next to me on a system that didn't have more than 16 bit graphics. Just the nature of the game my man. If you want it differently, put on a helmet go outside and start training
