EA Devs please adjust coding to punish using same formation all game
This is still the biggest issue with Madden. If you look at the top ranked 100 players they on average use approximately 2-4 unique plays on either side of the ball. That not only is highly unrealistic but is incredibly boring to play against. I would argue that nobody should be in the top 100 unless they utilize a minimum of 10 unique plays on each offense and defense. Utilizing one formation to win shows the game doesn’t reward intelligence and strategy but rather abusing game mechanics. In addition, hot routes should be limited. No QB calls one play then individually changes each individual route at the line. People are winning this way only because the game doesn’t punish spamming. There are a number of solutions that could be implemented. If someone repeatedly uses the same formation then the Ai on the opposing defense should become harder and harder to play against. Something has to change with this for this game to actually involve real skill and strategy. When roughly 90 percent of opposing players I face are using only one formation it makes the game way more monotonous and boring. Again, absolutely nobody should be ranked in the top 100 without using 10 or more unique plays.
