I've played the first time again for a while now (did not find any time to play the game over the previous months). In the meanwhile I have a much better laptop (I guess anything better is not affordable for a "normal player") and a much better internet connection. So I guess I did everything I can to improve my situation. But unfortunately, this issue is still there. So I guess there is really, really nothing I can do about it.
I played a couple of games yesterday in MUT knowing that I will not have any chance to win because my lineup is anything but competitive anymore. Knowing that I just wanted to enjoy the game accepting that I will lose at the end. But it is just so frustrating seeing so weird patterns on the field. My highlights:
- my opponent's QB throw the ball to a WR which was covered by my usered MLB close to the sideline. My MLB was directly in front of the WR and I went for the INT. What happened was that the ball went through the stomach of my MLB and was caught by the WR. I guess this happened just because the WR came a little bit back and might have been in front of my MLB to catch the ball (if I try to take into account that what I see on the screen is time-delayed from what the game is based on). At least that's my guess how this could have happened. What I've seen just seemed to be ridiculous.
- my opponents QB went for a deep pass on 3rd and 20 (I was so proud of defending that well against a much superior team!). The pass was completely off target and my safety was probably in range to go for the INT, so I pressed the button. What happened was that after the ball went to the ground my usered safety did a weird tackle against the WR who was much too far away from the spot where he could have catched the ball. This moment was the most frustrating one during the games I've played. After letting the moment sink in a bit and thinking about whether I might have done something wrong, I am convinced that I had no other chance than to decide this way. It's so frustrating when the game just does something completely different when you haven't actually done anything wrong. how to play this game then without frustration when these moments occur several times in every single game?
- I had two INT within a game because my QB threw two touch passes although I pressed the passing icon all day long intending a bullet pass. I have no idea what else should explain why the game assesssed my input as a touch pass.
It is so frustrating seeing these issues because I cannot do anything about it. I obviously see completely different things on my screen due to the time delay than what the game bases its "decisions" on. Obviously, this also affects my non-usered players (see my descriptions in my posts above in this thread). This pattern makes online H2H games a pure frustrating experience for me.
I guess I'm not the only one facing this pattern. But I'm also convinced that most of the affected players do not realize it because it is not immediately recognizable at first glance...
I'd guess that I'll have to hope for an improved Solo mode and a much better AI to enjoy the game. At the moment, the AI is so easy to beat because it never reacts to what I'm doing. I would have to do something "wrong" to make the game challenging. H2H games are just unplayable for me, unfortunately. as I said, even if I do not care about whether I win or lose. The game itself is the issue... ☹️
