Am I the only one

I feel like the purpose of mut is using the players you want to use... Maybe I'm not doing it right.

For me and i stress just me/ my opinion, zero chill was the most fun part of madden, i would get my coins and training up expecting to be able to buy presents at some point with either currency, obviously they threw a curveball in by adding snow currency and the easiest way to gain this currency is to go into a competitive salary cap mode? Come on man call this out for what it is, slowly but surely they have stripped anything fun or profitable away from this game mode. I see their is also an offline mode which frankly is a slap in the face to offline players, the return for the time put in is exactly how ea treat their loyal offline players. I expect plenty of get gud scrub kinda views and thats fine but how many players can realistically go 8-0 to get the best rewards? How many people will just straight give up when they realise how time consuming this is when the average player will only win 2/3 games in a row?

They’ve given both offline players and online players a way to grind. Of course they’re going to cater more towards the online guys, as the game is intended to be played online. The snow store is literally filled with offers you can achieve by just playing the game.  No you won’t be able to  achieve them at a crazy fast rate, but grinding over time will get you those offers.  If people aren’t willing to grind for what they want then they have no room to complain. They have until January 4th to accumulate snow for rewards, that’s plenty of time. They’ve also been giving us presents and snow everyday just for logging  in along with a field pass that gives us a free 93 and also challenges that give us a free 92 Brandon Graham. I myself  call EA out all the time, but this Christmas content is 100%  a W in my opinion

Then use them. No one is forcing you to use the highest overall of every player you want to use. It’s also not up to EA to make sure you get every new player you want, so play the game and work towards  getting them.

As long as the lineup restrictions can't be cheesed, I'm all for it. I'll just use what I have in my binder, I'm not going to buy anything for it. I'm interested in what most people will do with their 4 cards above 89. My gut says QB, your most important skill position on offense, and User will all be popular picks.

I went with QB (Hurts), WR (the newJulio), CB (Mike Evans and Calvin with DOKO). I have 88 Hendricks, 88 Stephen Boyd, and 87 Luke Kuechly all with Lurk artis.

A lot of people want snow for presents which is only until the 25th. So I can see why some people are a bit miffed about the timing of the event

The purpose of MUT is different for everyone - however going off of your premise that the purpose is team building, you're right!  And we all spent the last 4 months building a team that they aren't letting us use in this event LOL.  It's a double edged sword is all I'm saying...

I was actually excited for the offline one. I probably truly am the only one

I’m not understanding the hate honestly for the lineup restrictions. Everyone has the same restrictions, it’ll be far different from playing seasons or champs, and it adds dynamic to team building. If you wanna play with your god squad do it in any other mode. I’m down for something fresh like this, even though I promise I won’t win 8 straight.

The fact that they even have an offline mode is a W regardless. At least EA made some effort with that

Why would I want to buy an entirely new team just to play some bullshit house rules? You people are wild.

I agree with you. I’m going to play with what I have. 
 

There are only a few presents that may be worth having and that’s it.

You never know. Sometimes the smaller presents give you some crazy shit
