Would be nice to have a Gauntlet or Journey that connects to the passes.

Eh, i liked them. And if iirc, you can exchange the Gauntlet players for a Gauntlet master at the end of the year? And i think one year, Journey gave a golden ticket and tons of packs/players during the year. They had a lot of annoying solos but i'll take that over barely having any content

I have a feeling this is intentional

I believe it is as well and my wallet has a padlock on it for just this reason.

And you got a ton of rewards throughout them

Games been out for less than a week...give it some time.

Or you could say they have had a year to have release content and gave jack. The solos they have released so far can be done in an hour.

Ah, stop.

MUT is the main game mode and they have months to prepare.

Don't release the game if its not ready. Pathetic from EA.

Last few years at trial and early access there was lots to do.

I'm getting so sick of folks repeating the "scheme over team" bullshit tagline, to justify the disparity in these pay to win game mechanics, acting as if the cards available don't matter, heh.  What a farce.  Not that it matters, right now i cannot even load into any games, my Solo Battles have been booting me out over and over and over with the generic, "our servers cannot respond to your request right now."  Crash to main login screen.  EA no-Help said there are hundreds of thousands of players experiencing these type issues.  My Rookie Premier sets that we all spent 15M+ coins on during `23 have been a huge mess.  I got doubles of some cards, took 2+ days for them to trickle in over the weekend.  Of course they weren't ready for Day 1 pre-release, let alone retail public release.

Perhaps they understand their player base, there's SO many degenerate gambling addicts that couldn't wait to throw ~$1000 at their roster first week.  Even though `23 was my very first MUT experience and i was **definitely** part of the problem, as i pumped a bit of cash into the game, but wanted to try and see how realistic NMS might be this year.  Gosh, it's not easy, i even started with Deluxe Edition (4600 Points), but was forced to spend the bulk of them on a Starter Team, because EA screwed us out of RPs. At this point i'm the asshole, expecting that EA will ever do better.  Low effort cash-grab, zero competition.  Our only hope is that the NFL doesn't renew or extend the exclusive license with EA.  If i'm still here doing this in `24, someone please slap me silly.

I have plenty of other vices, thankfully gambling is not one of them.  I just want to be able to field a competitive team and actually play without tons of game-breaking bugs and glitches over and over and over... many of which have been around for YEARS, if not a decade, or more.  Nothing short of a full rewrite can save this game, but EA will never devote sufficient dev resources, as i'm not convinced it's possible in a single year.

I feel like that could of dropped a massive promo for Team Builders.

I won’t repeat the same stuff y’all are mentioning that annoys me too, but I’m right there as well. 
 

I’ll add that it is incredibly insulting that playing reg H2H or All Madden seasons rewards basically nothing. It’s MUT champs or solo battles and that’s it. Everything else is a fat waste of time. Why can’t I play H2H casually? Have y’all compared the rewards on comp pass? Go look, I’ll wait. It’s laughable.

I think it’s like 26 cp to gain 2000 yds in MUT champs….. wanna guess how much you get for that in seasons….? 2…. You get 2 cp. Like what!?

Yea exactly. I just finished House Rules and i didn't get the 84 pack. Stuff like this is why you just can't take the game seriously

We’ve come a long ways from Madden 16 when there were over 300 solo challenges on launch day. 
 

This year there were 24.

Sucks that nothing will change. My H2H season won’t load so there is literally nothing for me to do on the game.

madden 16 was amazing

Look at it this way. Play the game for fun and if the company chooses to take away from NMS players then the less log in time means more time for other games or just enjoy doing something else. 

I'll play a few HR games but I'm not going to sweat or spend excess cash on a game that will end in twelve months. 

Like doing sets. If no BND players are given back for doing a set then I will not do a single set not even for XP. Not worth the coin or trouble. Better holding onto cards to make coins when Team Diamonds come out.

Less time people play the game will be the only time you might see change but that will take time.

Ya the amount of content released at startup is beyond poor. The only bright side is with cross platform and the game being fresh there hasn't been any garbage meta to play against! so almost every opponent offers something new and it isn't the same boring 2 defenses to play against!

EA this is BS I have finished the house rules and I got absolutely no rewards. This is literally insane and completely ignorant. The fact that I put my time and effort into these games without receiving my rewards is crazy.  It's like going to work all week and not getting a paycheck. Where is the Team Builders challenges that usually rewards you with the fantasy pack? What about rookie premier? I see y'all update your f'n store with fresh stuff for us to buy but no updates for the actual gameplay. Shout-out to COD MW for allowing purchased content from MW2 to be carried over into MW3 . EA expects us to keep spending our money every year and lose  everything we paid for win they release their new game. It's sad 😭 to say but EA doesn't care about the consumer. They are only interested in making the consumer spend money 💰. Where is the real loyalty rewards. I guess they know we have no choice but to be loyal because there are no other football games for us to leave EA for. This is why EA can slack on content. We have nobody else to run too.  The sad truth 😔.
