Game is Nothing but Exploits

This gm is full of so much bs on defense its not even funny. If I call a man coverage play the curl or out route beats it every time, even with top guys like Revis. If I call a zone you can utterly destroy it cuz no team knows how to play zone for some reason. Its just exploit after exploit, totally focused on offense.

I think of sports games as sandbox games which give you back what you put into them. I do not play online for many of those reasons but I am able to have fun offline vs the CPU using a giant list of house rules and jacked up sliders. This is every sports game I ever played including the 'great' ones from other sports. If you use the right play style it can be fun rather than frustrating, there will always be exploits you just have to limit yourself at least offline that's the case. If your talking about Online i think of it as the wild west and everything is open but I get bored easy of that

I agree with what you say.. but I've found a way to defend the curl routes.
Just make sure you use a cover 4 defense and control the LB to cover the middle of the field.

You need to change certain zones the nickel CB defends even sometimes the DE can cover a zone

Its just so damn annoying its the same 4 plays vs everyone I play. A curl route, if I am in zone its an out route, it also seems Madden loves to screw me when im down.

Also I have to face all these nano blitzers who have 1 DB covering 4 of my WRs like hes god cuz of that speedy ball hawk crap.

I noticed the same things brother. NCAA I don't get this experience with madden I do.

I also miss playing with mics, in past Maddens I would always go to lobby and say "MICS ONLY INVITE ME!", now nobody has them and the only way to play Ranked is through matchmaking. The community seems dead, 75 users are online but no one is playing it seems.

I've never played NCAA. Does it really have less issues?

Amen OP, but lets agree its worse than you post

The problem is defense is not programmed realistically. In real there are so many factors that decide what a defender does on any given play. They have checks and reads based on a number of things pre-snap and post-snap. They need to give us the freedom to tell our defense how to react each play based on the situation. The gameplanning for coverage in NCAA kinda does this, KINDA, but I am looking for even more control.
