Why is my teams status yellow or red at the first snap of a H2H game MUT?

Ok so this is my 3rd year of Madden.... and I have to say that im really confused about the logic of this game.... let me explain...

Ok so everyone has heard about this equalizer, and what it does.......  I have read some forums to where even a EA rep admits it exist.... I'm just trying to understand why does the game makes my team tired and keeps them that way all threw the game, when im playing a lower overall team on H2H MUT?   It doesn't make any sense to me.... I play everyday, and I spend good money to make my team stronger..... and what do I get.....  My team nurfed because my opponent hasn't spend the time or the money to build his teams overall up. So I suffer????   How is that being in the best interest of your paying customers???

If you don't know what I'm talking about..... when you play a head 2 head game in MUT and you face a lower overall team. I want you to look at your teams stamina ( on the PS4 you hold down the R2 button before the snap ) Your team will be all yellow or some yellow and some red.

Whats this effect.... well its more dropped balls, less catching, slows down your defenders or the ability to even pick the ball...... your players will suddenly have stone hands. It effects the speed of your players and their awareness.

I always see the worst of this effect in my divisional game.

So I ask why, why is this happening to the players that are true fans and spend their time and money on the game...... just to be punished when facing a lower overall team. I guess it just doesn't makes sense to me that this can happen.... Wouldn't you want the lower overall team to get beat.... it would make the player buy packs, or want to improve his team... 

I'm just trying to understand why and whats the logic in this?

  • So I have asked this question on a few different madden forums now, and still I haven't gotten one responds. So it's the weekend again and I'm already seeing my teams stamina is starting off yellow and red at the first snap of the game even. Because of this, I just witnessed a 90 overall Pat Pete run and chase down my GT Deion from 20 yards back..... How??? that shouldn't even be possible..... it was the first kick off of the game, how is my team all have the stamina of RED????

    This just makes me think that I wasted so much time and money on this game, with the goal of getting to a 99 overall, to be punished for it when im playing a head to head game.

    Look I dont think I have broken TOS rules or anything asking about this..... im just trying to understand the concept of making my team dog tired before the first snap even....   Hows that treating your true fans that spend money and 100's of hours on the game???

  • Well another week with no responds from EA .... I just cant believe that someone that plays the game for 2 hours has a fighting chance with a player that plays every day??? WHAT??? Wow I really think I'm done with madden......EA is going to lose about 2 grand from me.... not next year. They ruined this game with this equalizer/ assist code they have in this game now..... Then you get a message from the player, like his skills did something........ yeah right. Why does EA do this????
    So the way I see this is.... is better that you don't spend your money on packs, or have the goal to make your team stronger......cause the game is just going to NURF your team..... I just don't get it...

  • Made it to my playoffs, and AGAIN... my team was ALL RED at the first snap.... and stayed that way all the way threw....  I was 0/26 passes completions .

    This has gotten out of hand..... Guess its all about the money and who cares about the customers huh.
