These also didn't count for any comp pass stats for me, FYI.

They never do. EA doesn't consider it as head to head.

gonna touch some grass this week and enjoy life screw this shit EA just boosting their stock portfolio so they could say people are playing our game.

Holy hell, good luck duder.  Keep us posted on your progress, please.  How's the squad shaping up?  Guess this is what i was preparing for, although i'm still reworking my defensive backfield.  Finally removing Pick Artist (in favor of KOs), we'll see how that works out.  Just started tinkering with some Dime formations for a change.  Sort of hybrid Cover 4 (on wide side of the field) & double-mable (Cover 2) on the short side of the field.  If that makes any damn sense.

Hey, at least House Rules is finally live.  Sounds pretty fierce, instead of actual content they're just throwing an extremely lengthy grind at us, eh.

I went 5-0 but had to stop for some family stuff... gonna get back to it shortly but I think I'll stop after my turkey leg at 15 wins.

Bravo, trying to get signed off from stupid wr0k so i can go tinker with House Rules, myself.  Doubt i'll start 5-0, hot damn.  Keep up the excellent work, my good sire.  Curious how much of this i'll have in me, or how successful/sweaty the grind will end up being.  15 wins already sounding tedious and i haven't even seen that game mode working yet.

So I just played my first match in it and wow fumbling is insane and I hate to complain but these matches are way too long

The wins are coming fast now... I'm 11-0 and a lot of guys are showing proper house rules etiquette... meaning they concede after they get stopped or their opponent scores.  There doesn't see to be ELO matching in this mode so I'm not facing my usual H2H demons.

Heard you can't even apply the Turducken to get 91 OVR (source). Let us know once you hit 15 wins.

No penalties sounds brutal. Are folks just kicking ~5 yards onsides and immediately recovering themselves? This shit sounds straight up toxic.

What are the other / usual House Rules etiquette? Surely I'm missing tons of context. Hard to get excited with only 2 new cards this week, after disappointing half of an otherwise disappointing Harvest drop. Merely four new high end cards, oh well.

When everyone is going to zig to House Rules, I may zag and attempt MUT Champs instead.

This is a bit much for me. Think I'll be skipping house rules this time.

Me too

I'm in a groove now... 30 wins versus only 1 loss.  There's a lot of mid players out there.

The "no penalties" feature is not really a big deal.  And they removed kickoffs from the mode so onsides not an issue.  

The fast play clock means you have to be on point with your player subs and custom audible setups but you have three timeouts per half so it's not terrible.  The fumbles are a BIG issue... so really need to be smart and fall down or go out of bounds to avoid them.  Also... you can have your opponent LOCKED and they can literally face catch you on a streak in double coverage.  It's arcade mode after all.

I was able to add my turkey leg to get my turducken which I could then add to Holland to get him to 91 (although he's not even a starter).

Still haven’t received any of the items after 15 wins. Need that turducken leg!!!

Is this the goofiest shit ever? The Turducken Legs aren't even worth it. I've played 3 games and that's the most miserable shit lol

We should all as a community first to score wins because 100 wins is rid

Jeez that’s crazy. Lol idk if I’m good enough for that

its not worth it, the rewards arent even working, its dumb

They did fix the kickoffs....I played a little last night.  Ifyou get lucky you get a quick quit. That's the hope

By the time I got to play it seemed like everything was working even though I do think these HR aren't so good
