When gates (levels) were reasonable with work I would grind and dedicate way more time then I should have to this game...this year...it is all but impossible for "casuals" and very challenging for the dedicated...so...I engage less this year with the game then any of my previous years. I understand that to hit the "max" should be a challenge...but an all but unrealistic challenge is not one I'm willing to engage with.
This is one of the main reasons I made this post. I’m a completionist so when I see a field pass I immediately attack the objectives to try to max it out asap. I’ve probably played more madden in the last two weeks then I have at any other point in my 30+ years of playing madden and seeing my progress stuck at comp pass 26 I started to think how realistic this is.
And it’s simply not. Now I’m almost 100% sure they will add in something to fix this because the outcry will be insane once people actually lay their eyes on the math. But to those of you that are completionists like me, rethink your priorities. At least last year I’d grind out 25 solo battle games every 2 weeks and win 5 MUT champs games and feel happy with where I ended up. This year it’s not worth branching out. Even investing tons of times into my least favorite modes I’m still no where near close.
