Just not having fun this year. Am I alone?

This year, it's a lot of grinding for almost nothing. You need to complete the h2h pass every week for rewards that don't really improve your team and the packs they give are horrible.

If you play the game the way they want you to, then it’s no fun. I don’t worry about the comp pass, or some of the challenges.  I have a theme team so when they offer free stuff, it usually doesn’t affect me.  I have coins to use for theme players only and use what I got. It’s more of a challenge plus you get better.  Chasing the best cards is for the YouTube influencers and big ego players.  Just play it when you want to and enjoy it if you can.  Don’t let the stress of any other part of the game affect you, then buy the 2K NFL game if/when it comes out.

Honestly if you have 8 mil coins you’ve probably already spent on the game. Why not get a month at an ebook site? Might help with the online play

nms, instead of playing i've just been AH'ing but i can't find any desire to actually play so im looking at it like wtf am i doing this year

I'm having fun but I haven't played since m18 so the break definitely helped.

The stats only counting in wins is the stupidest idea madden has ever had.  It’s kist Beyond dumb

This isn’t true lol

Feels like a chore playing MUT this year ngl.  Last two years I was an addict to MUT.

Yea it’s not fun at all. Feels like a job

It definitely feels like a part time job trying to keep up with everything. The dailies are too long this year, especially if you are trying to do the regular dailies and comp dailies. trying to rank up the comp pass is a chore with staya only tracking on wins, I lose more than I win. The h2h points are so low it’s ridiculous and basically forced to do mut champs. just going to play causally this year and not stress doing everything, especially this Fall when a couple more games come out that I’m interested in.

Yes, I've been gradually playing Superstar mode and other games more.

The win only aspect of the comp pass is a killer. I just don't enjoy competitive Madden H2H and it sucks that it's increasingly forced upon us in MUT. Say whatever you want about it, it's still largely meta plays and knowing what exploits the CPU, and that gets boring for me quickly.

I miss when solo battles were worthwhile, and when there were endless solos to do. Sure, that gets boring too, but at least I can play closer to actual football.

I do like gameplay more this year, but let's be honest, the game is basically the same every year and we are all getting bored with it.

I’m actually playing NBA2K for the first time in 3 years.  I don’t have anything overly bad to say about madden.  I think this is the best gameplay we’ve had in a while.  But from a MUT perspective maybe it’s burnout I don’t know but I log on daily and feel like I’m clocking into my second job.  I feel forced into doing certain things just to keep up and that’s just not for me.

Because dailies require doing the base and competitive pass both, which can require grinding 2 or even 3 Solo Battles. In the past dailies could usually be knocked off in one.

2K has its own issues, but I’ve been playing it since it dropped for free on the PS a few months ago... and I’m having 100x more fun playing myTeam than MUT. 
  
The rewards actually make the game worth playing. You can earn top tier players for “free” with XP and game unlocks. They have plenty of modes for both offline and online players that keep it fresh. The coverage for historical players is astounding compared to MUT. The daily is cheap and easy, prize balls are available for minimal MT coins. The number of uniforms, stadiums, shoes, etc is insane, literally every one for every franchise ever.

Like I said, 2K isn't perfect, but the amount of effort put into the game and the amount of free fun that can be had simply by playing it makes MUT look that much worse. I’m not even gonna get in to SDS and The Show, but EA is gonna lose a massive amount of players this year unless they seriously invest in making the mode great again.

I think if you enjoy H2H you‘re loving it. 
 

But for the 90% of us that don’t - playing feels like I’m wasting my time.

I think that's it.  Those of us who did solos and solo battles would occasionally load up h2h and were the easy people to beat.  Now the non sweaty h2h players don't have us around and are getting frustrated playing pros
