Also, maybe you’re just not that good

Edit: just checked out your record. Above statement stands true.

Anyone that "checks a record" is a great human being.

I think an issue that isn't addressed enough is that the outcomes of a multitude of plays seem very random (or rigged depending on your amount of skepticism). If a defender is only slightly delayed in their reaction to a ball hit in their direction, the entire game has just been changed. Young people on here say "get good". What they don't realize is that on these modes, everything is randomized to add excitement. One way or the other. For or against you. If you are really good and don't swing at bad pitches, you probably have a better chance to overcome the random outcomes. It does not mean that the fix isn't still in. What are your thoughts? Am I just a conspiracy theorist?

The same exact things happen online. The game will do it's best to determine the outcome of a play regardless of mode.

I was thinking the same thing last night. I'm not that good, so my only shot is completing the programs. I went 0-2 three times. I had to stop playing. Here's to a better time this evening after work.

What a different world we live in now. I couldn't even read half of the comments because they were talking about watching people play a video game. It is the most asinine concept that I have ever heard of. We are all playing the same game. Who TF cares what the other person shows you on Twtich or Youtube. It is a person playing a video game. How is that enjoyable to watch. Play the game yourself.

That is sadly how it has been all year. These forums will not help you. Most folks on here just tell you to get better. How they can't see the setups that happen and then the predictable finish both for and against you is crazy. I still don't understand how anyone legitimately makes World Series or goes 12-0 in Battle Royale (horribly named cash grab)

The topic says it all. Glitch or abuse? Person had a WS banner so i'm guessing they are "good" at the game and would never cheat.

Tapia out of Colorado will probably make gold.

They don't do these QOL items because they get paid by time investment.

You are not crazy for recognizing the scripts in action. Your fielders will react more slowly to ensure the play has the intended outcome.

I don't know about the term "hard work" and Madden going together in the same sentence.

OP: Do you realize that not all folks that you play against on Xbox are new to the game? I have played the show on PS for many years but now choose to play on Xbox because of my home setup. Just because you see Xbox doesn't mean that they are a "noob". (MK)

Same for Events for me.

I don't think Street is worth it but getting the EXP towards the inning program is worth it for me. If the servers hadn't dropped, that would have given me the boss.
