lol tried to play this morning and it took 6 attempts to win daily obj minimum 2 games because of 3 crashes and one disconnect. To say I'm losing interest in this game is an understatement.   To answer your original question: yes, same problems; only thing that has helped at all was making sure antivirus wasn't downloading updates while in-game (was causing CTDs during solos very rarely, still usually get 1-2 per week, at least). But obviously that hasn't helped much.

Or at least give a salary cap version of these events. Trying to find matches for salary cap or draft games is FUCKED on PC, not that it'd be worth the pitiful winnings in those modes anyway. Last time I tried, game crashed during kickoff. Bye-bye tickets, hello pity coins that don't even cover the cost of the tickets needed to enter. Even if you do win all your games you get what, some gold player packs essentially?

I've only had one or maybe two weeks so far this year where I didn't have at least one DNF from also having similar problems. Also had two crashes during the limited event tonight. I don't know if its their servers or the game just being poorly optimized, but it wouldn't surprise me if PC servers are on the back-end of EA's priorities.

I feel ya man. Madden 25 and 15 were the shiznit. Feels like the community has gotten sour since then too - so much hostility and confused egotism nowadays. The divide between big spenders and lite-spenders/casual players really antagonizes things it seems, and throw in the fact that pay-for-play is worse than ever (I don't ever recall seeing $100 specials in previous games except extremely rarely, now its pretty consistent; I did skip last year tho) plus events like these 48-hour rush events that require going 6-0 but give out enormous prizes even to those who've already completed it...   I was never a huge online player - most I ever played in one year was about 350-400 games. The solo grind usually keeps me more than occupied for most of the year, but Madden 25 and 15 I was able to win about 2/3 of my online games and even get a SB win in '15, though I did spent about $40 that year plus an extra $20 or $25 to get the Ultimate Edition of the game. Madden 25 I was NMS and had a pretty fucking good squad by the end of football season (96+), this year I'm still stuck at 92 a week and a half after the Superbowl (I did start about a month late) and feel outmatched in terms of teams/player ratings in about 80% of my games, at least. H2H record sitting at about .33 - once I get to 125 wins + 750k coins with another ~400 solo tackles by Shazier, Imma prolly call it quits playing online. I've basically given up on that SB and 5000 TP this year.

I feel like the diversity of players could've been so much better if they allowed you to pick your captains instead of forcing it to be Ricky, Shaz, and Rice/Sharpe/Lewis/Strahan. Imagine everyone with different captains that they could level up to 99 instead of the same 3 players, albeit you get to choose one. But then I suppose extremely rare cards would become a lot less valuable, so that'll never happen lol.

Quote from Blue7Gaming >> Quote from ObsoleteSpartan >> EA is gross for not making an OVR balanced matchmaking. Guess the cash spent really does need to shine somewhere other than just in the item binder. Your stupidity takes a back seat only to your feeling of inadequacy.  Sorry you don't have any money.

Crossing Drags (mesh), HB Angles (texas), and levels/level sails seem to be the ones I see most commonly used in the red-zone, as well as stick and slants - slants can still be deadly if they are man-blitzing, but most people know to expect them in the red-zone and adjust accordingly and/or are able to shut down one side of the play by usering.   Texas is a great play especially against cover 2 because the TE is usually running a seam or post right down the middle above the RB/FB on an angle route so the opponent has to pick one to cover, and high-point passing to the TE above is usually money unless their safety is a monster (often the case nowadays) or they are usering it with an LB (then the RB should be open). That one only works really well if you're like 10 yards out or more tho, anything closer and things get too condensed over the middle imo.   If you're really close like the 3 or less, all hitch with the single WR/TE outside hot-routed to a drag is a good one, albeit a bit risky since it requires very quick reads/throws. Also there is

Felt like QBs never fumbled for me to begin with unless they were outside the pocket, haven't noticed a huge diff with aggressive catching but I have noticed Cover 4 has become absolute trash since the last update - something with how the safeties react to multiple routes always ends up leaving dudes wide open deep inside exactly where the coverage is supposed to be... I've basically had to stop calling it its so bad... how the hell does 4 quarters get beat by a straight up 4 verts? safeties will leave their man wide open and try to double team a different receiver! atrocious!

Quote from gbwisc >> I love MUT, but realistically the only thing that's really going to fundamentally change MUT is gambling legislation being passed in the US. Sadly I'm starting to agree. I took last year off but with the number or $100 "specials" I've seen in the store this year, its very clear to me that they aren't trying to appeal to casual players or light spenders anymore - its clearly now about just trying to milk those who are addicted to the rush of pulling rare cards for as much cash as possible.

lmfao just got done playing some genius who had his mic interfering the whole game so you are obligated to put your shit on mute, took up almost all his pauses, and was struggling beat me playing with 78 Nick Mullen (it was 10-7 going into the 4th)... had plenty of time to look at his roster, almost all 95+ starters... don't ask me why I chose to start a podcast host at QB lol You misspelled game. The title should read "This game is a joke". H2H hasnt been playable since like Madden 25. Youtube has turned it into shit. Its gotten worse every year as far as just being blatant pay-for-play/a total scam to get kids to spend money. Many of the cheese plays only work if you have a massive ratings advantage over the other team (cough mid-blitz cough levels sails cough). PC community is already too small to fill up any mode besides H2H and events like this consistently - with the rate casual players are being driven away, I predict it will only be a handful of people playing soon.
