Remember when MUT Draft was Fun

What EA has done to MUT Draft is crazy to me.  I get it's not for everyone especially after Madden 20 when abilities where introduce but there was no way to use abilities in MUT Draft. But I use to love this game mode especially because it allowed me to try new cards, grind offline for some packs as well as play a game against my friends with somewhat even teams. 

I just loaded up MUT Draft for the first time on Madden 24 because I wanted to see if I still had to the chance to try some new cards, first thing I noticed is they absolutely tanked the rewards, offline for 4 wins is 2x 70+ and 2k. I ended up just drafting a team for Play a friend and it was beyond horrendous. In January with all the programs that have come up, My draft ended up being a 81 overall, most of the players I ended up drafting weren't even better then the base players they gave me. It also forced me to draft 4 TEs (TE only Rounds) and none of them were better then the 76 base Dalton Schultz  they gave me. My highest drafted player was 87 Kamren Curl that came out in August.

I mean I get people lost interest in this mode when they couldn't use abilities but this mode was one of the best things EA had at one point because it gave people that weren't spending money on the game to use cards that they were probably never going to be able to use or even give them a trial to use the card and they might for in fall with the card and end up spending the coins on the card to use it for their Ultimate Team. 

I don't know about anyone else but MUT Draft in Madden 20 was the best thing ever because me and my friends could just sit there drafting the best teams we could and then play each other with these stacked teams that consistent of our favorite players and we could do that without having to spend money. But EA is EA and all they care about is money so why would they keep modes that don't make them any money, that's why we keep seeing the Solo Battle rewards dwindle year after year, but that's a different rant.

GIVE US BACK MUT DRAFT. Add a structured abilities system if needed but just give us MUT Draft back and keep it updated it really shouldn't be that hard.

First of all let me just say I agree. However if you think about it youll see why they wont do that pretty quickly. The same reasons you listed as positives for us (try out the new or great cards we wouldnt otherwise be able to) are actually negatives in their eyes. Theres no money in it for them.

You pretty much said it yourself its good for "people who don't spend money on the mode" they dont care whats good for those people. They barely care whats good for the people who DO spend money. Lol

yeah when i tried it once last year there wasnt a single card available to draft other than core cards so i gave up automatically after that and have no intention in trying it out this year

its truly sad what this game has become, draft modes r huge in other sports ultimate teams but with EA its only about money so they could care less

Anything that allows you to earn  coins without spending money will be stripped from the game. It’s such a scummy business practice but it continues to work because their revenues increase yearly
