Running FG block in mut champs

I got a comms ban for telling a guy his dad should have flushed him down the drain with the rest of his siblings.

That's poetry. The madden community becomes more like the old school cod community each day lmao

I've only messaged 2 people, but one guy was terrible and he needed the stats more than I did. I beat him 18-0 before he quit and he threw a pick vs 8 up safe man punt return defense... the second guy i messaged "gg" after the game because despite spotting him 46 points while running FG block I still beat him 67-64, and he asked what I was doing and after i explained to him he was like "damn, what a missed opportunity" and he will help pad stats moving forward. 

I just don't get why people would prefer mut champs over seasons. If you got the same amount of cp for each mode i think we would all be playing seasons. I know some people want mut champs to be like weekend league but it's just not because we are forced to play it if we want a shot at the free content. weekend league was actual comp, like you needed to be good. mut champs half my opponents can barely score even though this is the worst defensive madden ever.

The fact that it doesn't matter is what appeals in some cases. For my example with the Raider theme, I knew it would be a struggle to anything with it because I got gold low 70s speed safeties and linebackers with no abilities to actually catch in coverage. That ain't a squad I want to put into a seasons game where the goal is to actually get to the playoffs, I'd rather have a game where I can just screw around with it with no consequence since I had already completed my stats for that week.

Tress way is an awesome card

If your opponent does it, you should do it too. Even if it's just for a half and then beat them in the second half. None of us want to play 25 games of mut champs. For some of us the rewards literally stop after stat objectives and 7 wins. As a community just help each other finish the dumb objectives quickly so we can play seasons. being forced to play mut champs is terrible, it's not weekend league. Nobody cares about your 24-1 mut champs record.

If you can find a good reason not to help each other out I'd love to hear it.

Dude I'm pretty sure I played you last night. I can't remember the username, but it was something similar to your screen name here... "Picksix" or something like that playing as the Lions. I'm Storky222 and was playing as the Cardinals or Seahawks, can't remember if I was the home or away team.  I didn't realize what you were doing right away, so I felt like an idiot for actually playing defense for the first few drives, but if it was you, after that game, I was able to get like almost 100 competitive points!

EA listened. The “stats only count if you win“ thing was awful for everybody. No incentive to win also sucks. This would be simple to fix and make everybody happy. Leave stats and the comp pass just like it is. Get 7 wins in Champs, get a red one pack.  Get to 12 and get 2. Get to 18 and get a TD pack or 2 and some coins.  No more XP.  Everybody plays. Everybody stays in games for at least a while. Winning matters and is rewarded.  Everybody gets the grind trophies of Fields and Kearse. Neither will be good by the time everyone earns them.

So you hit it on the head in a way. The comp pass reward players are not even worth it because there will be better cards by then. I had Pickens but he was quickly benched when guys like DK, Evans, Diggs, Holt, Pitts (running at Slot WR) dropped.

At least they made him auctionable.

I used to grind the field passes but now there really is no reason for me to do so. At least not for me. I mean, they even gave people the option of buying levels with points.....

This is the first year in a decade (probably longer) that I really have not been grinding Madden much. And if someone like me who has played it since the first one (1988 John Madden football) and who perennially spends $$ on the game is not into it, then Madden is in bad shape

Been playing that long as well and MUT since 2011. Got so bad with the account bound players and terrible glitchy gameplay that I took 3 years off.  Hopped back in this year and the gameplay is a bit better, but the rewards and grind expectations are way worse.  Champions sets don’t even return BND players.  Online and solo battles are bad. Champs is a SGS fest where nobody will stay in a game. Easy to figure out that spending money on this was a no go.  Bad shape indeed

I guess but if that's the mindset and we are just playing the game to play it i'd still prefer seasons. I run 25/50 eagles TT mostly because we get our first useable CB tomorrow. There's no penalty for playing seasons and screwing around in seasons. I lab new playbooks, defenses all the time in seasons. I'm not going to be a top 100 leaderboard guy, and my suggestion to other people that are not top 100, so most of us, forget about your dumb win loss record, and what division you play most of your games in. nobody cares and just play the game to the best of YOUR ability and try to get better each game. if you lose who cares its a video game, cool thing about losing in video games is you get to try again. 

bottom line, mut champs sucks, communicate with your opponents in a friendly manner. get your stats done, lets go play seasons.

It was not me but as long as they don't add a hideous number of defensive stats to do for mut champs I will continue to push this message. They call it a madden community, idk why all people want to do is fight and argue. there's quality people on these forums and in these games to be friends with.

If you're on ps5, i hope we run into each other NickSix. I'd definitely grind the entire pass in a game with you. I'm all for it
