Homefield Advantage

[tdogg097]

Is there one in M13?

I'm in my 3rd season with the Colts and my defense is getting torched on the road. I'm currently 4-0 at home and 0-3 on the road.

Home stats
RYPG: 67.8
PYPG: 262.5
TYPG: 330.3
PPG: 17.5

Road Stats
RYPG: 194.0
PYPG: 341.7
TYPG: 535.7
PPG: 41.0

Now, it could be that the teams I have played are very good (Packers, Texans, Steelers) but my D seems to take the day off on the road. Plus I played the Texans at home and stomped them. Could it be a ratings issue? Only thing I could think of would be awareness. Ideas?

Try saving your experience points and put them into being more consistent. And it does look like you had a pretty tough stretch on the road.

No, there's not. Your stats are purely coincidental.

I was actually just thinking about this yesterday. I only play NCAA one in every five years or so, but the last time I played was the year they introduced home field advantage. That might have been back on the PS2, I can't recall. But it's sort of shocking that something similar hasn't been instituted in Madden.

The thing that got me thinking about it is I was playing a game online and was entering the coin toss for overtime and had no idea who the home team was. It's pretty sad that you can play a full four quarters and it feels like you're on a neutral field.

Quite possibly. In my current franchise in the regular season I was 7-1 and 4-4 on the road with most of my home wins by 30 pts.

There is a "confidence" rating for the players, does it affect their road performance? That seems logical.

I wish it did have an effect but no i doesnt
