Well I will tell you what is not flat... EA's profit this year on MUT.
Ain’t that the truth lol

(finished 16-6, 1 DC loss, 2 knobs/DDA losses I had no chance, 3 games within a FG that I could have won if played better or perfect - had some knobs stuff but still winnable)
In those 16 wins how many would you say were because of DDA/knobs? Curious because I only ever hear about DDA/knobs when people lose games.

13 out of 17 people tried to DC you? That sounds more like 13 people paused the game for a second to make an adjustment or needed a moment to do something non madden related. The people that DC know what they are doing

Quote from jaybird13 >> DDA is a joke. I see it a lot of games - and it goes both ways. The thing is I feel zero sense of accomplishment when it goes my way. I feel bad for the other guy because I know how it feels to have it screw you over.
I just try to solider on - regardless of which way the DDA is swinging. You shouldn't have to be, but if you're better you can overcome it 95% of the games and pull out the win.
I disagree with this for this year. Yes this might apply to last year but EA upped their game. I won't get into it too much because it deserves its own thread but EA has gone out of their way to make sure that it is easier to swing games with 2-3 plays. They have a perfect storm of manipulation this year.
It's nice to see we have a name for that shit now. Been saying it for years. It's all about the money. Bad players = losses. Tons of losses = No fun. No fun = No more playing/No more money. It's in the game to make them more money by keeping bums in the game. It's about the time in the franchise where they started killing all the things in the game that created skill gaps.

(my favorite thing about talking about WL and DDA is seeing the same group of "people" running to my threads to downplay everything. I want to tell others so they aren't confused but these guys are on ignore as if I answer them I get spam warnings... So I want to be an outstanding MH member and only say nice things so I do not answer them... but does make me smile when I see they left a comment on my post in my alerts, click on it, and see nothing)
Quote from markhunz >> This past week i had to run with my qb more than any week in wl. Not sure if it was post patch but most games i played my main playaction plays left no one open. Once in hit 11 wins is when the crazy stuff happens. I have never got 12 wins because i usually go on a losing streak then and cant get to 15 anyway.
If DDA is going against you... good luck. There are some plays that it is impossible for DDA to help - basically putting multiple WRs in one zone and making a very good quick read. However when I am getting knobbed my opponent can pick whatever defense and his DBs will run with every pattern. If you don't know anti-DDA pass plays you are screwed.

That's because the quality of competition goes up significantly around 11 wins and again at 15 wins. No knobs required.
Quote from Ivankarkit >> No dive, no tight slot, no scramble, i guess no bunch, no trips TE as well?
What is your offense ninja?
Don't cry because your youtube scheme is getting a shout out. Post wasn't hating these. The post was making fun of them when players are trying to run them, trying to run them against defenses designed to stop them, and then no matter how bad they are shut down, can only run these plays. But obviously they are working somewhat because a 15-19 win per WL player gets matched with these guys non-stop.
So I was trolling with a low OVR team a few weeks in a row to prove out DDA and got my 15 wins. This WL decided to roll with my 92 OVR and below is what WL is now in the upper tier. (finished 16-6, 1 DC loss, 2 knobs/DDA losses I had no chance, 3 games within a FG that I could have won if played better or perfect - had some knobs stuff but still winnable)
1. With the 92 OVR I didn't see a team that was below a 91 OVR all WL. My 85 OVR had many games vs teams in the 80s. I had 14 games against 95+ teams.
2. Almost every game you play a God Squad (95+ now) you will see one of 6-7 varieties of RB dive. Most of the guys are so pathetic that they will be down 7 with 1 minute to go and try dive plays out of triple TE. So now these guys can't use animations they use the fact that DL, especially lower rated DL cannot blockshed when pushing back. So these A hole dives end up being sweeps, they just run their RB backwards and left or right as soon as they get a yard from the line. In the NFL a RB would be maimed and most likely this is minus 4.
