Every team DOESN'T run a 4-2-5 defense

Question

It's hard not to be critical when things like this are not just being overlooked, but clearly DECIDED by decision makers for this game.&nbsp;I've got an honest question...What makes y'all think that forcing everyone to run a 4-2-5 is a good idea? Is it a LIMFAC (limiting factor) we're not being made aware of? It's just weird cause we have no choice but to use the team specific offensive playbook, which makes the defensive side of the ball a complete contradiction.&nbsp;There are other issues that gring my gears...Adjusted and save depth charts don't carry into gamesNo night games/weatherNo real incentive for folks to play with lower tier, so we're pretty much all forced to end up playing a bunch of Tier 1 teams&nbsp;The EXTREMELY overpowered stadium pulseBut this issue, the defensive playbook issue...really confuses me.&nbsp;Heck, if ya don't wanna respond via this post...hit me with a sidebar message. Just make it make sense.&nbsp;

Items 1,3 and 4 on your list are consistently mentioned in this and other threads in the College Football 26 threads..Sadly none of us feel like EA cares to address these as these have been issues year after year.&nbsp;Stadium Pulse is extremely OP. Icons of receivers should not dissappear or turn to ? EVER. No QB in history has not been able to see or throw to a receiver due to stadium noise.&nbsp;The no lower tier item IMO is unique. I have a strong feeling that there are lower tier teams being used(tier 4 and 5) but EA is filtering them out when&nbsp; you use say tier 1 team. In no way should I have to play basically a SEC schedule plus play against Ohio State and Wildcat State(aka Penn State) ever single season.&nbsp;Time will tell if the do anything to address this stuff.&nbsp;

I'm not sure I understand your question. How is EA forcing everyone to run a 4-2-5 defense? My team has 4-3, 4-6, Nickel, Dime, etc. I'm guessing 4-2-5 would be Nickel defense.&nbsp;

If you look at the defensive playbook in road to CFP games, it's always the 4-2-5 set of plays.&nbsp;My team runs a 3-3-5 Tite. Which carries a whole different set of plays, but I can't use it in this mode.&nbsp;So in essence there's no point in even labbing their true defense, since I can't use it here.&nbsp;

I agree with you. They could care less. Even if the entire community hates these things.&nbsp;So long as they get us to drop some $. They know once Madden drops, our care level drops to a Net Zero.&nbsp;
