This needs to stop

MUT  has officially lost its mind.. The prices for items are ridiculous at this point. The arrogance , greed and disregard for its customer base is downright ugly

I think it’s just impossible to compete online with the wallet warriors. 85 ovr team here but I don’t have Gilmore yet, maybe that’ll help.
 

I’m a casual spender, level packs the last few years. Always running a Bears theme team (just 30/50 for now to stay remotely close) but these 90+ man cover CBs are lockdown with the online play the way it is. Some online games are just a nightmare trying to get a WR open, even with abilities and a decent passing scheme. 
 

Holding out hope that Team Diamonds or another program will allow the casual player to remain competitive.

Yeah i agree, the market got crazy ass expensive basically overnight.

TDs should definitely lower the market along with campus heros that are supposedly going to drop some time next week.

Spending Isn’t getting you much unless you are dropping thousands as packs are really really bad.  Also power ups are going to be crazy expensive.  If you want to do the Lester Hayes one you need about 2 million coin right now.  All the cards to go in set.  Then you need the 81, 83, 85, and 87 for power up.  Just for  an ability reduction.  No plus ones.

What do you mean? The process dashboard indicate prices have fallen by like 15% in the last 24 hours.

cant even use different team chem unless powered all the way up..F’N crazy

It seems like they're deliberately making Power-Ups worse this year to justify getting rid of them entirely next year so they don't have to give lower players other team chemistries.

EA wildin this year.....in my 5 yrs of mut this is EASILY THE WORST start ive been apart of

i'm at level 37 ... yes i need/want that s. gilmore

I was not gonna buy it this year unless they made major changes.  Saw a few of my friends playing it and asked them, and they all agreed they made some great changed to the gameplay.  AND it looked better.  So I went ahead and bought it.  If I had known what the mechanisms, economy, and  structure was like building a team this year, I still wouldn't have bought it regardless of the gameplay...  so now, after only having it for a day, I already regret it.  You just can't win with this shitty ass company.  They improve one thing and completely shit the bed on another.  It has NEVER been this bad.  And at this rate, I'm never going to play online because I refuse to dump hundreds into this train wreck again...  it had never been this bad in terms of pay to play.  Its almost impossible to build a competitive team organically.  Its unreal.  AND it's not just that everything is expensive, it's the fact they have nerfed the ability to earn cards so badly, that that is in turn what pushes the prices up.  LIke seriously, I can't even earn a BND version of the team builders?  Impossible to build sets from challenges and rewards because the challenges give you jackshit...  absolutely nothing related to the sets.  Oh, but we can go on house rules and earn a BND reward...  ooops, you need a competitive team to get on there and do that.  This is just insane and absolutely miserable.

That’s the main thing that bugged me. I wanted to get Deacon Jones and power him up a few slots and use him as a Charger. Nope. Need to either have the 89 card or have the 89 card in his powerup chain.

Not a big fan of that part.
