re: Madden Ultimate Team Topic

I haven't gotten far enough into MUT to play those beast teams since M13. As I remember my team rating was a 92 or 93 and id routinely face 99 teams. Most of them were garbage and relied strictly on their player attributes rather than what they could do with them.

I'd imagine it's still the same. They can beat all of those lesser teams but against teams they don't have an advantage at every position, they lose 99% of the time. Or when they face teams that though they do not have 99s they still have good players and get stomped, like weagles game above.

I think I'm at like 93 or 94 overall and the only game I've had no shot in was one against a nanoblitzer.

Im in 2nd string All-pro with a record of something like 37-10.


There's almost nothing that I can think of that absolutely can't be countered. I haven't been able to counter the nano blitz but I've only faced it once and I'm told you can counter it

So get this. I'm playing a guy who's actually probably better than me if I'm being honest. Hes nano blitzing every now and then but not excessively. I'm occasionally picking it up but I throw one or two completely boneheaded picks because of the pressure. He's tearing my defense apart too.

So I end up down 21 with two minutes to go. I decide I'll just have fun with the rest of the game since I know I'm going to lose. End up scoring a TD in about 40 seconds so down 14 at this point.

Onside kick for shits and giggles and somehow wind up getting it. Drive a little bit, throw another pick. He runs it fumbles it right back to me. I end up scoring on the drive. Down 7 with like 20 seconds to go.

Onside kick it and don't get it. So now I'm actually done. He tosses it to Gurley and my guy completely wiffs and he runs it in with like 5 seconds to go. In the middle of the Extra point the game freezes and it says your connection to the opponent has been lost.

Get to the menu and it gave me the win

So some more ideas for MUT in Madden 17

1. Contracts should not count when doing Journey moments. Only when you do full games.

2. In a CPU game, if you get up by 21, that should end the game. I hate having to play full games when I'm up by 3 or 4 scores and gotta kill clock.

3. When bidding on a card, you should be able to pick the price you wanna bid, not just up the current price a couple hundred coins thus leading to bidding wars that last however long.

One reason why I think you need to get rid of ratings. Everything should be about schemes and fits into systems. Like I said, if I have a DL of three players with ratings of 95+, there shouldn't be an OL in the league that can stand up to them.

I refuse to nano blitz, I've actually never even looked up how to do it.

I miss the days when I could play the journeys...

That's probably the most annoying thing about this game. No matter how good your corners are, EVERYONE can get "Mossed".

Right it would be like "Steph can hit threes from half court...so any 3pter worth a damn can because Steph can" How often is ODBJ catch repeated in this game and then how often do we see a catch of that magnitude irl? I think Madden wanted to try to make something "cool" and easy to play. Now any dumbass can throw 50 yards down field and even if covered, he can catch it 1 handed in traffic. Noobs gonna noob though.

One other thing, the jumping ability of some of these linebackers is absurd. Anthony Barr does not have a 60 inch vertical for frick's sake

This is like what I think of when I think of defense in Madden It's been that way forever.

If you play man with Safety help over the top, you essentially shut down the chunk and aggressive catch. Or at least it works for me.
