Which difficulty are you on? I agree that the RPO changes things a lot, but in Madden this year, the defense changing presets makes it a little less predictable. I’m CFB, I can see how the defense is set and already know whether or not I’m passing or running because there are no pre-snap adjustments.
I also can run an 0 1 trap with a decent offensive line and gain 5+ yards every time unless it’s an all-out blitz. I’ve tried that in Madden and the defense adjusts once it’s seeing I’m running it too much. Also the blocking seems to vary more so the plays aren’t always as effective.
Doesn’t mean there aren’t money plays in both, it’s just harder to figure out in Madden from what I’ve seen.
