The grind to make it to the end is grueling and I feel it should be something like the AKA Fantasy pack for a 90+ player.
Maybe I'm just tired, but I just now got to the end and even the Epic System pack is weak.
not getting a free champion at the end of long field passes, even if it was bnd is a big fat L

The grind is real.
These are real hours spent.
I can see how someone at EA thought that we'd be excited about the New Epic Strategy items, but they were so weak, that I had a hard time deciding which one was the least weak.
The H2H guys get good card rewards (Randall Cunningham, etc), so their grind is rewarded. I don't do H2H (Because I'm terrible), so selfishly, I would like to see a similar card awarded after completing the season.
And please don't defend EA, they are the retailer, WE are the consumer and they're up 26% in the last 6 months.
Give us some crumbs.
I'm on the fence on this argument tbh I'm a weak minded fool so bought the extra pass. I've probably had something like a million coins extra out of it but it could be more.. I've lost count. I do think the squeeze on rewards is way higher than when I left five years ago, returning to this was a shock. But yeah, the pass has been valuable when you add everything up, the season tickets alone allow you to rip so many boom or bust packs you inevitably hit something worthwhile. I've had way more than any bnd champ in value and still got 2 of the 91s. They always put the best rewards before the end as well so people who can't play every day don't miss out.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

I could see from the beginning that the Premium Pass translated directly to coins. Almost seems it’s the best dollar value for the game.

It is as awful as that sounds. As I said, weak minded fool over here! The value was just too good in comparison to anything else and I'm not really a pack buyer

You arent wrong. I hardly buy packs and went in on the "premium" pass to try it out. For $15 ive accumulated over 1 million from the premium pass extra rewards. 2x 85 platinum players, sold those 2x epic strats 150k each, rolled some boom or bust w extra season tickets and hit a few 89+ etc. Even if i min'd out itd be atleast 500k extra for $15. Which compared to what people pay gambling on packs with horrible odds(and can really screw you over if you min out) seems pretty good. I wont be buying it again since i have enough coinflow to cover me the rest of the year but it was "good value" in terms of what regular packs offer.

I think I'm the same mate, might do one more but, and this isn't anywhere near what some people have, I have an almost 90 overall team with 2.6 million spare. Not sure I need anymore coins as I don't buy the stupid expensive players

all the ea employees get their bnds of any card granted to them whenever so they obviously could care less about what we actually work for
