Another bad change for no good reason

Most of you probably wont care, even I dont care all that much but its certainly moderate levels of annoying that at every turn, any chance they get, they make things worse. They NEVER improve anything, somehow they always have time to make things WORSE.

For field pass purposes, solo battles are now clearly intentionally designed to waste even MORE of your time. Except for one that is like a small amount of yards, every single objective in that category is wins. So you can no longer just grind as easily to quickly meet all the stats and just get a handful of wins for the actual win objective.

At least they overlap like the total is 15. 2 will have an 5, 2 will have an 10. So you’re at least killing 2 birds with one stone in a sense but I get it cause we used to be able to kill 50 with one stone hahah. But honestly the comp pass is so bad this time I’d be surprised if anyone is actually grinding it. I’m almost to JJettas and thatll be about it. Which is funny cause that used to be a huge part of what i was grinding

A couple days ago I got a rush for +200 yards on the Competitive Pass, and pass for +50 yards on the Season Pass. That means burning almost an hour on a Solo and some challenges I haven't gotten to. Not because I want to, but because if I don't, I'll miss progress entirely.

I miss buy a pack, make a set, and gain 200 yards. It took just a few minutes. Honestly, I wish they could have weeklies instead of dailies, or some sort of mechanism that encourages engagement without turning it into an obligation.

Not sure why this company is so obsessed with making this game worse. It's almost like they hate their customers and want to make the game as bad and annoying as possible

Wait, what? I'm not tracking here -- what's the actual change or adjustment to Field Pass? I haven't logged on today, but didn't notice anything yesterday...

Sadly, i'm not at all surprised they've continued to make things worse, uggh. Wouldn't it be nice if there was liek, you know -- patch notes or some way for EA to communicate these sneaky changes to the community. Unbelievable.

That Cardinals linebacker also looks really quite decent, Mid Zone (or Secure Tackler) + LurkArtist for 1AP isn't terrible. He's no Fred Warner, but at least we get a useable card here... which seems to be far too rare. I was pumped to finally unlock JJettas -- don't really have room on the squad for him, but I've got an extra 1AP (for now) to tinker with, so I'll continue using him for a while, that Route Tech isn't terrible to help defeat the rare opponent who thinks they can run Man to Man coverage.
