    Skills trainer too hard?

    On rookie and I can’t even get past the first drill! I’ve done this for years. Something is very wrong.

    LOL I had a similar experience when I tried it. No matter what I never get credit for using the stiff arm in the first RB drill. It's fine I'm just using practice mode and the easier MUT solos to get my reps in.

      It did seem extremely hard for whatever reason. I struggled with the pass rush drill and the tackle battle drills.
      No matter what I did, my lineman seemed to stay glued to the lineman in the pass rush drill and could never break free. Took me so long to finally get through that one. Maybe I'm just not good at it lol
      And the tackle battle drills were extremely frustrating for me. Perhaps I'm just not quick with the button presses, but it seemed like as soon as the button flashed it was showing me losing it. Gave me no time at all to even attempt to press it. It got to the point I just started guessing before it even popped up what it would be and just hoped I guessed right

        I definitely believe some of them are glitched right now, with the tackle battle being one of them. You have like a half second to click the proper button. I got a bronze on that one from just guessing correctly enough times.

            I just gave up and skipped a bunch of them. Either they're glitched or horribly balanced/designed.

              I’m glad it’s not just me who felt that way! I’ve actually always liked the drills, but it took me forever just to get a bronze on the basic running drills. I was doing well on a Gauntlet until this one drill where I had a lead block as a lineman. Burned through all six of my lives on that one.

                agreed...it doesn't seem like it was tuned at all from 18...so they introduced RPM but didn't update the gameplay in skills trainer. Not a good experience, the gauntlet in the skills trainer is exactly the same from 18, no new drills etc...

                    And if that's on rookie as well, I'm glad I didn't cave in and lower the difficulty just for the skill trainer. I was on the verge of doing so.
                    Though now I am getting frustrated with the press drills. I'm just not getting it. It appears I press the receiver, get them to the correct side, stay where I'm supposed to and don't let them complete the pass, but it keeps telling me I did something wrong. And I have no idea how I'm failing it lol
                    I know it's probably just me, but it's really irritating me

                      I was stunned also had exactly the same issue on
                      Stiff Arm being really hard and/or not detecting it. Stiff arm in general never works

                      Also had huge issues with tackle battle

                      Really strange the most basic aspects are broken, imagine a new player giving up before the first game!

                        They are definitely hard, and I feel like I lucked into beating some of them. But I only did some of them to try to learn the game's controls. Good luck to anyone who wants to complete them.

                          Pretty sure I lucked into most of them myself. And now the press drill is the only one I have yet to complete. But it's definitely something that needs to be toned down so it doesn't turn off people in my opinion

                            Yeah, I remember the drills in the older maddens were fun to play, like throwing the ball through rings while completing the pass to your wrs. But now I was so annoyed, I did a few of them just to learn the controls and haven't bothered with it since.

                              Maybe there needs to a pre skills trainer to get ready for the skills trainer.

                              I've been struggling to do the basic drills. Yikes!
