Did the dumbest thing ever and somehow still broke even

Posts: 5595 |

So... always been curious about those 200k GG Vol. 2 Packs in the store.

So I decided to open all of them.

My method was to only down in my coin stack until 1 million coins. I rolled whatever I got from the packs in TVPs. The first time I actually profited. I should have stopped there, but I kept going. By the time I was finished with the final pack, I had gone below my stopping point of 1 million. Thankfully, that final pack was quite literally my greatest pack ever. It included 97 Bradley Chubb, 94 Bradley Roby, and two 91s. Selling Chubb and Roby would have still resulted in a fairly heft loss, so I decided to just sell Chubb and roll the training from Roby along with other cards.

Thankfully, I hit enough high overall platinums to save my coin stack. I ended up only losing 9k coins, close enough to the original to be considered, "break even"

Please note I DO NOT recommend this for you to try yourself. This was a random stupid urge which I gave into and luckily did not significantly hurt my coin stack.

I guess one benefit for me is that I will never feel the urge to open those packs again, since I've already opened all that EA will allow me to lol.

I bought all of those when they came out. They started off really good, pulling 94s but then they dwindled down to just 88s and a 91. I saw Gutfoxx pull 4 94s out of one pack.

I feel ya. I averaged zero coins myself in Madden 22 and didn't like not being able to have a competitive team because of it, so I've been a lot more frugal and efficient with my coins this year, outside of this instance.

Yeah started out strong, then it started giving me a lot of bare minimum until that insane final pack.

Yeah it is possible to get close. I am close to that myself. Not sure why the "captain credit card" comment about CC....seems odd to care what someone else does with their $$

Also have to remember those YouTube guys claim their pack spendings on taxes and tax deductible since it relates to their “job”. (They call it jobs, I don’t)

They also most likely are not gaining their coin stacks in the most EA-friendly of manners with their sponsorships and such. There’s a lot of factors that go into why these people who broadcast their MUT lives online have more of everything than the average gamer. It doesn’t always boil down to paycheck size.
