I 100% do not mind other HFA effects like shaky cam, the ice the kicker effect on all kicks, away team has increased chance of falling for fake snaps.

I think I'm one of the few that likes HFA. I especially like it vs a bad team because it gives them a chance against me. If I fumble or throw a pick 6 they can grab momentum and keep it a game.

I hate it when im playing the cheifs or something. I need a blessing in order to stop them lol

I made a few posts defending HFA last year, this will be my only post on the subject this year: I’m just over here like bro do you really think it’s any more “OP” than pitcher-confidence in The Show? We’re talking about a +3 here or -3 here or there. It’s barely effecting anything. The way some people complained about it you’d think there was 10- & 20-point ratings boosts and deductions. The game plays 95% the same, just with some dynamics. Placebo-tier complaints imo. If they never showed the on-screen graphics half of y’all would never notice the difference.

Just my two cents, with my main observation being it’s not much different than pitcher-confidence in MLBTS and y’all were overblowing tf out of it.

I like it because in the real NFL there is real homefield advantage. Really just that simple in my view.

After playing this game for over 20+ hours and completely sinking my time in to tweaking sliders and trying my hardest to fix certain aspects to the game and it's odd quirks, I can confidently say this game does not play a good simulation of football. Not even remotely close.

Too much poor coding and legacy issues that hamper this game. Stuff that has been brought up for literally a decade if not more now, that still plagues every crevice of the gameplay. From poor o-line and pockets forming correctly, to bad blocking logic all around, to completely piss poor pass coverage and DB play.

We need other options, and hopefully they are coming within the years. EA will never fix these broken gameplay elements, they have the financial capabilities, but really have zero incentive to do so.

This game is honestly a 5/10. And that is being generous.

Exactly..I don't see any issue at all. I enjoy the challenge of playing on the road and quieting the crowd and get momentum on my side.

I do think it's unrealistic in los angeles shouldn't have it, it should be the away team lol.

Don't kill me charger and rams fans... I'm from LA but it is what it is

For those that use Placement passing, what are your go-to settings? Because currently I am struggling in the passing game this year

Doesn’t bother me especially from people who’ve never been to a game there.
