The computer looks at numbers only and totally takes out the human element.   The other thing I've noticed is, when looking at your lineup and placing your guys, you have to pay attention the the "mirror" affect.  I've noticed a lot of guys mis-position their OLB's, DE's and WR's because of this affect and not realizing.

Quote from boomer295 >> If they did this, and amped up difficulty to be against 90 - 99 OVR teams, then I’d probably actually enjoy season mode. Agreed...as it is now, it's pretty much a waste of time and effort

Tried the others to get a perspective, but always came back to WC!  2) Vert.  3) Smashmouth  4) Spread

Been out of the loop for only a week but from what I've read I haven't really missed a thing...LOL!!  Is hard to find dedicated players during the "slow" time.

We had a 93-95% participation rating up to SB to a 44% just prior to me losing my phone.  Seems the threat of booting for non-participation doesn't hold much water when there's nothing to lose.  Which caused our ranking to free fall 400+ points!

I'm the Commish of a league and don't have any Admins.  Phone broke this past Sunday ( 3/17 ) and have no idea when I'll be getting back to my team.  Not expecting any sympathy, just venting.  No Admins due to lack of any leadership qualities or shows of interest.  (Ready for next season!!)

Quote from OhCaptain20 >> I don't even know if I'd go as far as to say "success or fail" yet. The new camera angles are cool and the tap to WR button has given me some great catches, but I have also seen drops on a 20% increase with green so that may be a wash. The attributes being posted above players on defense in OD is very distracting but  thought I saw where they were removing that, so again maybe a wash.   I am most interested in these tournaments and defensive strategy in LVL, so I think I am holding off on any jusgement just yet. Agreed

Our league has had a good core of about 10 players with a seamless revolving door of members coming and going.  We do have a system when a new member joins.  To make sure a new member is active, up on entry, each one has to play me (Admin) in a H2H match to 'prove' they'll complete their drives.  When completed, they are inserted into the lineup for LvL play. However, if their match expires, they are cut.  I love the gifting idea and it worked when we were able to gift packs back a couple of years ago.  But, if it takes money away from EA, you can be sure it won't last long!

"Auto-pass" to left receiver when using left control to drop back QB.  Wonder if it switches receivers if toggle is switched to right side...hmmm.  So far, the only thing I've found that helps, besides just run plays, is allow AI drop the QB back after snap, then take control.  Keep the thumb off control until QB goes back at least 3 steps.

Would it be TOO MUCH for a heads up notice??  2nd drive in LvL, in side his 5 yr line, ready to score then I get the: MAINTANENCE UPDATE ERROR prompt!!  Reboot and get back into the game, look back at the film and it didn't even register half my drive!!  So, my drive was done and didn't even know it!!
