here is why overdrive is the worst competitive gamemode in history

here is why everyone hates this stupid gamemode. 1.) bc of the purley tempobased nature of this clownish gamemode skill is rendered into some minuscule almost nonexistent nonsense 2.) bc of the lim...

@Humdinger504thx for the translation - yeah, maybe i did misread gators response a lil bit

@thegatorfan122arena h2h sucks too and is, but its just a feeling i have, not very well populated. i played a couple games and i would bet that i played 70% of the time an ai-opp. the rewards suck, in fact there are none. the mandatory waiting between matchups is killing every flow, if there would be one.

bugs all over the place and i didnt even played it that much. look at them pics its ridiculous. one game starts with a score of 430(!) to 205(!) lol. the other game i lost but got a win pack and could continue just like nothing happend.

thank god there is no leaderboard bc some would need to use the very very complex type of calculation called addition to generate one. or should it be based on points scored? i mean i got 430 out of one matchup lol. maybe win-loss ratio? i'm cool with that either bc i pocket W's with actual losing the gd matchup.

in general i aint a pessimistic person, quite the opposite to be honest, but i have a hard time ignoring reality

@ea just in case you are reading this and try to iron out bugs - here is some additional intel if it helps.
the game started 430-205 and it was finished 430-205. (i scored and i'm positive the opp as well).
second ss speaks for itself. play by play was correct and in fact the actual score displayed 'just' the win/loss was bugged

@ea, yeah before i forget it, i want somebody of you guys to chime in and tell me why you, yes you specific, think od is dope and why you, yes you, really enjoy playing this totally awesome gamemode and how long you think you'll enjoy playing this 'win one, lose two, lose due nto, win one, lose one, win two, close app, lose two, lose one, lose two, win one, lose due nto, win two, lose one, close app'-thingy you call gamemode and everybody else by the simple name of scripted bs

thx in advance, i think its fair to ask since you created this and hopefully should be standing behind what you concepted last year and everbody gave u all year headwinds on this.

what was the finale thought to give it a go a second time? sadism? lack of everything that counts? tell me i am all ear.

since there is no indication of how and why, it wouldnt be too shabby to implement it, or communicate what highly sophisticated mathematical theorem kicked in here to calculate the outcome. would be very neat since we learned earlier that 12 can be valued higher than 14 under certain extreme conditions i'm good with every explaination. thx

Reminds me of the 80's movie "War Games" the only way to win is to not play the game lol

@Zeekmoses
Overdrive is broken af right now. I tried to like, I tried to defend it, but the more I play it the more I hate it.
Now I do understand that when I lose, that means someone else is winning but based on everyone I talk to or read comments from all have the same story. Constant pass drops, quarterback holding the ball, non existent blocking, 10 yard overthrows... The list goes on and this is happening in at least 75 percent of the matches I play.
It feels like I'm playing in mud while the defense is playing on performance enhancing drugs.
Now the OD matches that you're required to play in the masters series aren't like that. So why does it have to be that way in competition mode?
It's not fun to play at all, and it's really the only decent way to get whistles for coach upgrades.
Take out all the algorithms you have in overdrive and actually let us play straight up and overdrive will be a great, exciting and fun mode to play.
