Have Trophy Packs actually been nerfed?

Not that it matters this late in the game... my team is set for as long as I want to play M24 and still almost 10 million coins.  But it's frustrating to not pull a single 97 or higher card in the past twenty trophy packs.  You get five of those packs plus a TD pack for every SB win at Legend Tier... so that's 21 cards in total.  A good way to check the relative value of those packs is to see what those 21 cards quicksell for... and it used to range from 1.2 to 1.6 million training... but now it's usually in the range of 900 - 1100k.  

Shite rewards... combined with the fact that everyone is running some form of Goal Line... IForm Hulk... IForm Wing offense with eight Vanguards (plus Perry at HB) has gotten me ready to hop back on the hamster wheel with M25.

Me to EA: Thank you sir, may I have another?

You are not alone, my good sir.  For most of the past ~few months, I've kept telling myself that I'm content with the state of my M24 squad and can casually dip in and out of H2H play whenever I need to scratch that NFL itch (which, admittedly, is fairly often, especially through the dog days of summer and Training Camp, we're all BEGGING for anything even closely resembling the NFL -- at least i am).  Heck, I tuned in for part of the Hall of Fame game, just to see what these new kickoff rules might end up looking liek.

While i do not have high hopes for my beloved 49ers, especially coming off a Superbowl hangover, CMC strained his calf already (eerily similar to Rodgers last year, who then proceeded to tear his ACL on first series of the season) and the whole Aiyuk drama... well, none of those specific problems exist when i'm playing virtual GM.  My son asked for College for his birthday, so with that, i got suckered into the MVP bundle (including M25 pre-order).  I'm about to take a couple days of PTO next week, so i can dive in on TUES & WED.  Will we be seeing you there?

Sorry i haven't been able to report much on Trophy Pack situation, although i think i do have a (6-1) Legends tier Playoffs H2H season i never finished.  Doubtful I can win out to get all five packs (or any, as i'm feeling a bit rusty).  What limited online play I've been dabbling with lately has almost exclusively been Playstation Tournaments.  Sony must owe me liek at least fifty bucks in $5 increments of Playstation Gift Cards after the 10+ wins.  But there's a TON of kids who are simply glitching those game modes out, forcing you to either quit, or wait them out and hope you get a coin flip win at the end, once the game finally times out... which takes nearly an hour.  Would be such a simple fix, but Sony and EA cannot communicate to resolve these issues, so they linger year to year to year.

+1 for Animal House reference.  I was but a babe when that film came out, but it's retained its legendary status for a very good reason.

I’ll be on M25 but sticking with the old gen version for another year.  See you in the forums though, brother.

Yup won a SB few days ago and best pull was 96

Well, good to know that the cheeseball that beat me in my Super Bowl with alternating RPO’s, coverage-breaker combos, rollout glitches, and stretch runs probably only ended up with cards of little value.

I've won a few SBs this past week or two. None of them even dropped a 96 for me. They are horrible to be honest. I actually pulled a 98 redux out of a redzone pack instead or else that whole run would have been worthless to me.
