do they REALLY? 

OK, if that's true I guess it's not just us. I still really do think it's rediculous something can't be done to give FANS more access to these cards

As a packers fan we had Ltd love,white,jacobs, austin,woodson,butler.  I feel your have 3 out of 6, and I think I'm missing one.  So i feel your pain.

wow.....thats wild. Kinda BS tho honestly cuz most fans will never see these cards until months later

So you may say, how can we complain when they recently gave us 91 RUSS, AND maybe the best pass rusher in MUT 92 WATT

BRUHHH, I have never even seen either card for sale YET on the auction block. I looked it up, I'm on XBOX one and only 4 RUSS LTDS have ever been sold. Only 2 Watts been sold.

And when Joey Porter came out I had to wait like a month before I could afford him, AND IT WAS 4SALE.....1.6MIL

What good is it to fans to give us the best cards no one can even get their hands on.

Yall juat got a hines ward LTD

Bro , I finally gave up and bought a next Gen console, I got 7 million Xbox one coins just sitting there..when I continually saw that EA would not give old Gen content I folded..Here’s a heads up for old Gen , inside stuff is still in the game but there is no longer secure protector game will become unplayable soon

Thx for that heads up. It's will be painful, but I will not be forced to

 confirm. They will just push me to do something else with my spare time. : )

I'm not trying to be that guy, but here i go... your console was released nearly 11 years ago, on or around November 22, 2013.

You have every right to complain, this is an objectively not good game, but the one thing we can't really gripe about is trying to play on a decade+ old platform and expect it to behave as if it were modern.  Pet peeve that we're still forced to term PS5 as "next-gen" but alas, that's the world we live in.  I don't liek it any more than you do.

I guess if you're capable of these type mental gymnastics, you could be thrilled that yer still able to enjoy a "modern" football "simulation" football (sorry, dealing with EA necessitates a lot of air-quotes here -- Madden 25 is neither modern, nor simulation).  The supply problems are a direct result of the platform you've chosen.  The costs, well... that's an entirely separate conversation, pay to win has zero business being part of any online, competitive games.  Especially not ones that hope to resemble anything close to fair or balances gameplay.  Ahh well.  Good luck, my dude.  Grats on yer big win yesterday.  Russ appears to be having the time of his life, eh?

Ouch.....that brutal honesty hurt, hahaa

But you certainly do have a point, and yo....I'm so happy for Russ, I never seen him so happy since winning a sb. That dude was doing Antonio Browns little "finger" dance after his interview (LAFFN SO HARD) :)

That's actually exactly what prompted me to leave the Russ comment, his little finger dance. There were a couple/few weeks during camp where I was convinced Aiyuk was headed to Pitt. What a mess, seems you didn't need him after all. 

Sorry to give you such a hard time about the console stuff. Broke my heart to unplug the PS4 Pro last year during M24 when EA decided to split the auction house markets between both platform and console generation. That's the actual issue you are having, that there is no longer just THE auction house, there's liek 5 or 6.

1. PS4 
2. Xbox One? 
3. PS5
4. Xbox Series X
5. PC

I think that's it. What a mess.

NO Brother, it's all good, I love hearing "the" truth : )

Yes 100% a Russ moment I will reply again.

And all of what you shared is so facts, but I'm  "draw some lines in the sand". I will comply only so far and than....I'm out. And most will read my attitude and say "Bro it's just a game" but thats just it my friend, it's a game "here" but I don't stop being me whether it's in game or in life. The only reason why EA can treat us this way is because not enough "care or understand" we have the power. (Example) if enough stop spending $$ in the store this company will be on their knees asking "what do you want". hahahahaaa, sry to run on, peace my brother

RESPECT 👊 wish more of us has principled stances. Textbook case about how and why monopoly power is bad. 

This is not a good game, but it's all we've got. Hopefully NFL will open up the exclusive license by May 2026.
