I thought maybe you sympathy missed a FG for me
I just can't get the kick online, the slight lag throws me, this is my first lot of games online gotta get the hang of it. 2 missed PAT and a missed FG, then The squibbed punt then put you in great position for your first TD (i think it was)
Same issue as when I played chewey too, just dumb passes, 4 INT
was lucky to be close i reckon. You were stiff with the injuries at wellBig play by you to stop the 2pt conversion. Good win mate congrats! Nice close game

I couldnt stop King Henry, you are very good at running the ball. I suck at it still, and/or youre mich better than me at defending the run, was just running into brick wallsI thought maybe you sympathy missed a FG for me

Previous maddens never used to be this bad with the lag in online games. I think we should all look for a setting in the main menu where we prefer performance over graphics/lighting, and removing overlay stat graphics and such....because it helps reduce lag in EA FC 25 and I'm guessing it's the culprit too in Madden 25

Sounds like you two had an interesting game!
I won my matchup last night 70-0. Going up against a backup QB was not a fair fight. Think I ended up having 9 sacks, 2 picks (including a pick 6) and one fumble recovery on special teams.
Offensively was near flawless Minshew going 28/30 with 7 passing TDs.
I only have games against the computer left on the schedule so I'm looking forward to the playoffs where there will be far greater challenges playing against users.

It was a very typical Ravens-Steelers type of game. The game was on a knife's wedge for the entire game really, but especially the length of the second half.
Snakeman basically ran the ball at will, Henry making 5-7 yard gashes down after down pretty much, not always, but most of the time but then the Steelers D would find a way to thwart them in the redzone....either an INT or 4th down (turnover on downs once, and missed FG another time due to lag).
The Steelers couldn't get anything going on the ground. Brick wall run D. It was up to Fields making decisive check downs or short passes across the middle to get upfield at all -- which was rare. Steelers punted a gazillion times and Fields fumbled the ball away while scrambling in the redzone.
The only way the Steelers got good field position was due to two of Jackson's four picks, or as Snakeman mentioned, a shanked punt due to lag.
Given the Ravens dominance of possession and run game, it was actually a 40 odd yard pass to Zay Flowers, him beating a couple missed tackles and sprinting away, that opened the scoring. 6-0 Ravens (missed PAT). The Steelers like I said had multiple possessions but couldn't do anything, so when the Ravens got the ball back again and again, and started pounding the rock, I felt like I was gonna lose this game badly.
But a Jackson INT in the redzone, Steelers marched and scored a passing TD. 7-6.
Then Ravens again pounded the rock, but it was yet another Flowers passing TD breaking tackles abd sprinting away that made it 12-7 (missed PAT).
So at this stage the game just repeated a pattern the rest of the way.....Steelers punting it away, Ravens marching methodically upfield but not putting points on the board due to either INT, or turnover on downs one time in the redzone, and missed FG another time.
I think just before the half, Jackson threw a pick in Ravens territory and Fields connected for a second passing TD to make it 14-12 at the half.
But same story second half ... Steelers punting regularly, and somehow holding off Henry and the Ravens from scoring despite marching upfield without resistance.
I couldn't put the game away by getting that next score, kept Snakeman in the game on every subsequent possession. But somehow still kept that 14-12 lead.
Then I think it was a pick six of Jackson that got me to 20-12 but I missed the PAT stupidly, would've iced it. Instead, Ravens marched upfield and this time a toss to Henry at the 5 got them to 20-18 and they obviously went for 2 with only two minutes to play. The pass into the endzone was accurate but Steelers DBs managed to knock the ball loose after being initially grabbed.
Ravens went for the onside, Steelers tried to kill the game forcing timeouts but it was running into a brick wall. So yet again punting back to the Ravens with under a minute left. A sack-strip-recovery by Watt on Jackson ended the game with a kneel down.
I felt hard done by a few times, wide open receiver short for a first down yet somehow Fields spraying the ball well wide or the receiver dropping the catch. Had a ton of injuries during the game too. But Snakeman was crueled by the lag....if he made those PATs and that early FG he would've been up 17-14, then up 24-21 at the end with me receiving the kickoff (not onside kick) with about 1:30 left to play...and like I said, I couldn't get anything going offensively, not consistently anyway.... I'd have a good drive resulting in passing TD, but then followed by three drives of punts.
Some of Henry's dominance was due to me being petrified of Lamar's scrambling ability....where I'd play 3-3 Nickel and pull DTs off the LOS and try to spy Jackson that way, so Henry was barging thru that often. I'd bite the bullet eventually, playing four of five down-lineman to stop Henry in the redzone, but between the 20's I was playing for the scrambles.

That first or second Flowers touchdown was so gross, You were bloody unlucky with the missed tackles. The defemders just fell off him.
Thought I'd managed to sneak in the play actions well with Henry's dominance... but just poor throw decisions.
I shat myself on the Jackson scrambles, that slight lag when the slide prompt appears leaves him wide open to be crunched.

Lamar never fumbled while scrambling tho, even when i laid some hits, just on that sack at the end did he fumble, standing in the pocket. I've never seen a cpu or human scrambling QB fumble, even slow coaches like Cousins etc. Fields coughs it up constantly however even when I hold the trigger to protect the ball, he still coughs it up on arm tackles
Youve got a perfect team tho....beast RB in Henry, fast WRs like Flowers , and a super scrambling QB in Jackson who also has very good passing ratings, plus a top D. You'll be hard to beat when it all clicks for you. Remove the INTs and youd have stomped me.
Btw, I looked...in the main settings, last section, graphics ... select favor performance as option. Theres a couple other settings in other ones to reduce stats overlays and such. Hopefully that helps reduce lag in future games but i think itd make minimal difference the madden servers sre just shit is probably why.

Thanks mate, I'll give those settings a go.
From memory ive had a couple of fumbles against the CPU with Lamar.
Good game, congrats again. Look forward to our next one
