I play squads, and I’m MAD

This is the second time that EA locked up squads until we played the challenges they want us to play.  It’s infuriating that they block the ONE feature i buy this game for.  You shouldn’t be forced to do what EA wants you to do because we paid for this game. Locking features inside the game unless we follow some stupid side mission and get a stupid token or whatever they want, should be illegal.  They are taking away part of the game I paid for….screw EA and screw this entire promo.

im having this issue. its not clear to me, what do i need to do to unlock squads? my friend and i have both completed all the challenges but still cant play.

All u gotta do is put the all Madden strat item in your line up. It's aids tho it's impossible to stop the offense. Wrs just blow by u

both my friend and i have the strat item on but still cant play, it gives us an error, kicks us from servers, and gives us a loss. should only one of us have the strat item on?

There's 2 strat items. U need the one that doesn't have all the numbers one the front.

It’s BS that we shouldnt Have to be dealing with.  They are literally locking game modes up that should be FREE TO PLAY to everyone that paid for this.

Do we need the strategy item you get from level 4 of the Field Pass in order to play squads? Help! I can’t figure this  out. Why not at least leave the regular squads mode available when they do this? 🤷‍♂️

I’m surprised that they don’t offer “pay to play” to skip the levels to get to the token so you can play the game you already paid for.  There’s just something really wrong with this new system

It’s because of the loop hole everyone used in most fear last year. if the card locks you out like the new one does in all game modes besides squads and the all madden event, you were able to go into squads and click modify lineup and add it. They just need to remove modify lineup from squads.

this is the most brain-dead thing they did to solve this solution.  all you have to do is cancelate the invites from friends from xbox live if they didn't have the strat item in their lineup fuck are we on  current or old gen for if you can't do simple coding shit from the menus screen.

and why the fuck are there locked solos from using this strat item. it's the CPU.

EA is the dumbest company i've ever seen.

I’m confused as well. Which strategy item do we need to play squads and how do we acquire this item?

This is a really dumb feature, why lock it and force you to do annoying challenge, maybe give people another option for squads that doesn’t require the strat and boost rewards for the one they lock or something? Idk but it’s a dumb feature
