Blitz - Did anyone else fall for it?

If it wasn't fun, I wouldn't have 200+ hours grinding on MUT.

Is it perfect? Far from it, but part of the fun is the community and getting to share thoughts and tips with other players.

I messed up a lot when I first started - wasted tokens - missed deadlines - didn't know about promos, etc.

But this community helped me get my feet under me and has helped me make better use of my time.

So I am grateful to just have the conversations - Good and Bad.

I too respect this man. Im in my 40s and started playing 3 years ago after stopping Madden in 2005. And I never played MUT back then (dont think it even existed). I am just as upset about the issues as everyone else and REALLY thing EA might need some competition. HOWEVER I'm so tired of the negativity from people who play it all day and are constantly whining and attacking others who arent as fatalistic as they are.

Objectively pointing out whats wrong is great. But the all out negativity starts to grate on me as I like to manifest positivity into my life avoid dark clouds

I'm with you on this.  I gave up MUT 4 years ago after 6 years, this being my 1st year back.  The way I look at it is "screw me over once, shame on you.  Screw me over twice, shame on me."  Point being, I know what I'm gonna get with EA.  For me to come back to the franchise and then complain over and over again about it would be hypocritical of me.

Sometimes we just like EA took advantage of us and we looked for a place to voice our anger.

But most of the time it's temporary and we get over it, other times it's out of frustration and we can't believe some of the issues aren't by design - like the poor defense.

Trust me when I say I hate....no....I LOATHE EA,  and the more we sit by and don't voice our opinions (or speak with our wallets), the more we are compliant in what the game and community have become.  I also knew what to expect when I bought the game this year.  I'm probably going to take some more years off after this (I mean, let's be honest, this year has been the biggest shi#-show), but I also don't want to solely focus on all the screw-ups.

I came back 3 maddens ago like I said. We bought our sons their first console (they we’re almost 9 and 8 then).

And I decided to use Madden to teach them about Football and bond with them. Then I got hooked on MUT lol.

I also saw a chance to teach the boys about strategy and financial management/investments/buying & selling for a profit, etc. Like the concept that you don’t need the brand new shiny card just because it’s newly out has been huge for their life skills.

Love the story 😁

Thanks for sharing!

You're a lucky man - I have two girls (13 & 9) but I can't get them to sit down and watch a game.

I came back because I missed playing a Football game.  And I also missed the team building aspect of Franchise mode.

But, I too got hooked on MUT 🤣

I'm 250 hours in and I just recently bought the game on the last week of Season 3 but had no idea what was going on.

I'm genuinely happy for you 😄

The platinum offer was great. Most people got 750-850k minimum floor I got around 1.5 mil which was insane for 25$. But all of the other offers sucked including the cards.
