Stop lying in patch notes and fix contains on defense.
I will not recommend this game to anyone or buy the game next year unless steps are taken to fix the defense. QB contains were not fixed with the last patch like you said. “Contains” are somehow worse and you introduced a new speed boost to the qb behind the LOS that is being exploited online so much that ladders and the MCS have become unwatchable and unrealistic. REMOVE the ability to juke behind the LOS because you did not balance that feature out with defensive buffs like every competent game designer would do. Every game is 50+ points and full of non sense of qb speed boosts or Agg catching in triple coverage. REMOVE the ability to hot route RPOs. Again, you add this feature but do not balance it out by giving the defense a chance to counter it. This is bad game design. Remove the flipping of the offense. The only reason people flip is because the defense does not react correctly when the play is flipped. It is not realistic and it is not good for the comp scene either.
These are problems that I have seen watching the MCS Ladders. The best players in the world can’t stop anyone on defense so it is not a “skill issue” at this point. Hard Flats do not work at all. Mesh routes get open 100% of the time because the hard flat defender stands completely still while a WRs is attacking the flat full speed and easily gets open because a player standing still is unable to match speed with a WRs as they cross their zone. Lying on the patch notes is a new low for you guys and it is disrespectful to the entire community.
I’m not even getting into the all the scum kicks and block FG exploits because I can live with those. I understand people are going to find ways to abuse this every year. The issue I have is how defense just does not react to the ball or the situations at all. It is beyond frustrating when you completely outplay someone using logic and have a perfect defense setup and the guys just stand completely still and watch the offense just run right past them. It is disrespectful to the game of football and your player base when you come out and claim to fix something but actually made it worse.
Hopefully the next patch is one of the biggest we have ever seen in Madden and/or you start removing the untested and unbalanced new features you implemented.
