Joining Late is Way Easier than I Thought

So, got Game Pass for a month before I move in to college, and while I did not purchase Madden 24 it is available through the included EA play so I decided to give it a try. I've only been playing Ultimate Team for 3-4 days and already have a 95 overall team with fully upgraded Joe Thomas and Plaxico Burress, GT Caleb Jones, Warren Moon, and others. 

It's just a striking difference how easy it is to build up a team this late in the year. Granted, training is cheap, but it's also practically worthless with how bad the training pack offers are (that mystery pack has not been kind to me). Completely NMS, I've barely done any challenges and only three solo battles and I've just shot up the Season Pass levels. 

It's not quite as ridiculous as the TVP glitch end of year M23, but it's still pretty nuts.

I bought the game in November and decided to create another team in March, Both are 99. Yeah, you definitely can create a good team late in the year.  I enjoy team building though, so occasionally I'll get the new game at launch or wait until the price goes down in January.

You could be a 60 overall and still win half your champs mode games..

EA's DDA is horrible

Thinking about doing the same🤔 early play is pointless because the cards constantly lose value. Wait until maybe novem, Dec to play competitive

If you have half a brain, it is extremely easy to build a competitive team that is nms this, with all of the solo challenges, and free players they have given out over the past two seasons.

I almost feel bad for you for believing dda. It’s a made up thing to make people feel good about themselves for sucking at the game. If you can show me any evidence of dda in online games I will personally send you $100 how ever you would like it. You will never find proof, the only thing you will find is a bunch of 13 year olds swearing the game is out to get them because they are winning the game. It’s all hearsay and bs. There are actual ea documents admitting they own the patent for DDA but it was never implemented into online gameplay. DDA is real but it’s not in online madden.

Show me any proof that it’s in online gameplay and I will send you 100 dollars. I can actually show you court documents that state DDA is owned by EA but was never implemented into online gameplay. It was meant for offline games to engage the players into a more competitive game. It wasn’t designed for online game. I’ve looked into this for many hours. You can believe in the tooth fairy all you want “or whatever you were trying to say“ lol

I don’t know about that but they definitely aren’t great at matchmaking. I played my first H2H game yesterday and beat the guy 42-0. The next game it pitted me against a full 99 team.

It doesn’t matter if I spend 5 dollars or 5000 dollars, DDA isn’t in the game. End of story
