Call me wrong but I don't really buy in to this whole DDA thing...

Do any pro players believe in DDA?

Serious question!

Personally I think it's realistic for players to make mistakes occasionally, there will be a small percentage that a top player drops an open pass. Kelce droppped a couple in the playoffs noticeably. It has to be factored in as a probability when making a video game surely.

Now circumstances can make you think it's unfair etc and I think there is a lot of confirmation bias.

I prefer to look at the rough and the smooth. Some games things will go my way and other times it won't. Sometimes I would say it even works in reverse. Like when you are behind you get stuff bad that happens. So I just don't buy it.

The one thing I notice is that when I (good rated team) play vs a team with poorly rated players it's very easy. They can't complete passes etc.

With weekend league, I too like many others start well, last night I was 5-1 before stopping at 6-5. This wasn't DDA, this was me playing too many games, losing my focus, making poor reads, calling poor plays and not doing what I was doing the first few games. I do think that the matching making with the ELO system is correct and as you win more games you should face players with more wins too. That's fair.
