Thoughts about mut so far?

I think they made some great changes this year. The field pass is great with good rewards and has you leveling up on 3 field passes. Mut draft is free and looks like it can be fun and worth it. All-Madden H2H seasons and seasons mode gets a much needed overhaul with only 5 wins for playoffs. More solo battles and mut champions all week long everyday is great. Taking away the solo battle rewards every week was disappointing but the field pass resets every two weeks and there's still alot of rewards to get so it works out. Everything is finely streamlined and there just seems to be more to do. It has taken a bit to get used to everything especially how the sets look. I do miss how each set would have its own look in the set menu but I'll take this set up. I do think It would have been nice to have the lineup menu streamlined with the others like our binder, sets and auction house. Also the AH seems not nearly as clunky as years past so I hope that continues. Strategy items are actionable which is a big W along with the Epic tier ones. Theme teams are much much more difficult to get. I think this will be an excellent year of mut and may be one of if not the best so far. Even stat tracking and halftime adjustments seem to be working fine....so far 😆.

After grinding all solos and solo battles for days it is my opinion that building up your coin stack is harder this year. I have an 84 team but only 250,000 coins banked which won't be enough to buy even two Legend packs Saturday!

Obviously the coin world is vastly different for the top level H2H guys as rewards are much more significant there, but us predominantly solo guys I believe got pushed down.

Youre getting the game 3 days early. They never have that much solo wise. 

I assume theyll have stuff for those new All Madden stuffs coming. Im sure well get our first gauntlet in the next couple weeks.

Only doing solos and solo battles never gave you that much coin... and packs are a waste of coins. 

You already have an 84 team though so I assume you bought points to buy packs.

They gave you an extra set of solos that expired at midnight when the real game launched. They did give you more content.

Most people that buy this early arent soloers. Theyre flippers and buyers.

What else they should be adding? 

They dont want people to get ahead too quickly unless youre good at flipping or spending money.

I want to say that I concur.  If you don't enjoy H2H (and I don't) there have been nothing to do except solo battles after the first 5 hours.

So flip cards on the AH or play solo battles?

They basically only put solos in here for people who dont want to play online but still play the game to spend time/money on it to build a better team. Solos dont give you enough money unless youre hoarding coins for later down the road.

my main complaint is that we dont get xp for every challenge, its taking my ass forever to rank up with this shit setup the way it is

More solo battles and mut champions all week long everyday is great.

Hard disagree here. They combined those two things into the comp pass which gives comparable rewards to one or the other last year. So basically if you did both last year you now get half the rewards for doing both this year than you would've otherwise. Also, sure it's nice to have more solo battles to play, but once you finish the comp cpass challenges for them they are completely pointless to play. They don't even give you any nominal XP towards the field pass. This seems like a half baked idea honestly.

The point of paying more was to:

-get 3 days early head start (flippers and grinders)

-get multiple free players (better stock/starting positions)

-get madden points (get you to spend more in game. seems lots of people wasted them on the start teams though, which is about the worst thing you could do)

Now youre getting All Madden players tomorrow which with the Moss CB assume has challenges attached to it. Most people are just starting today and have to grind all that other stuff you did or AH flip or start playing h2h.

Yes, I bought the All Madden version and I believe an $89.99 bundle, and a second $40 something deal to jump start. Completed all solos and am grinding Solo Battles now but those seem MUCH harder than last year.

Yeah and you complained about what exactly they said you were paying for with the more expensive edition... Its fine to want more content but no matter if you got it early or today, you get the same content except for the specific pre access solos. 

I think its good in a few areas and worse in a few areas based on last year. No pups sucks/makes team building harder but the game itself feels smoother.

Thats nuts but good on ya! 

Its just because we dont have OP teams. The beginning of year solos are always chalkier since we have worse teams.
