seriously HOW TF is inferior competition constantly beating me with weaker players with low skills? is physicals the only thing that matter here? because my 4.5* RB with 4.5* OL blocking for him cant score a touchdown against a weak run defense but his 3* 50 speed RB can truck all over my 72% defense with 48-50 Speed linemen..at home? pete are you screwing with my matches or something?

Obvious answer: why I should? What would I achieve by doing this? Of course I don't!

If you are constantly beat by inferior teams you are definitely doing something wrong .... my advice is to get a mentor , start winning and have fun in this amazing game!

Maybe its just that 3-4-4 is not the best formation vs run?

Skills matter

It's also about player match ups, randomness, coaches, daily form etc.

If you are talking about your last league game, you averaged 6.1 yards per rush, that's pretty good. He averaged 4.7.

It was a close game, if you played him 5 times in a row, you'd probably win 3 or 4 of them. Just like the NFL, the superior team doesn't win every game they should against 'inferior' opponents.

but i specifically have formations against the run, and formations against the pass. and they never called any o my run formations, just pass formations against the run. this CONSTANTLY happens to my team. and before it didn't so im wondering why now after i filled my team with 4 star coaches

he's beaten me twice with INFERIOR teams. at some point you have to just be BETTER than your opponent. check my roster, there is no way in hell he rushes for 2 touchdowns like that with no sacks, fumbles or INTS but i manage to throw one to his garbage secondary even though I have pretty much the same QB as Craiova and he constantly throws 4-5 tds against SUPERIOR defenses...hmm

Im not gonna spend a long time scouting the 2 teams, but a quick look shows you having a better rating, but not by much, so maybe the difference is the playbook, PC, coaches or just randomness.

But if you are waiting for someone to tell you you´re right and the game is rigged against you, you may have to wait a while.

apparently unless you field a team of 50/50/50 max physicals, ratings dont matter and your players are trash no matter how high their "rating" is. its not even worth fielding a team unless they have at least 45 in every physical stat now because thats all that teams have now, even 2.2 teams and anything less is just garbage. so that's actually some of the "randomness" thrown in. I thought just being fine with under 50 stat guys would be alright but I guess minmaxing is a thing here too.

you know that's not true

look around all the divisions and see how many lower rated teams upset higher rated ones

playbooks, intelligence, coaches and randomness all play a factor on top of physicals and skills

no one likes to lose but you need to scrimmage your team and understand what needs improving
