Since I couldn’t comment on the post about how I think MUT could change for the the better

My thoughts on how EA can improve and keep a healthy player base throughout the year.

1. take out abilities- Enables unrealistic plays. The greats, hall of fames, mvps are incapable of creating some of these plays that are generated due to having abilities. When I play madden I want to be playing the closest thing to a simulation game as possible for what they have the licensing for. Abilities should be targeted towards an arcade game not towards a simulation.
2. Offer a player level up progression- the more you play with a player the more they progress in stats, players would feel more attached to keeping players that they love if they were to progressively level them up almost like a coach seeing his players grow on the field.
3. Abuse of certain mechanics- let’s address the elephant in the room..hurdling. I have never once seen a nfl player hurdle to make a quicker cut, I’ve seen it being used to escapea defender but that’s all. It shouldn’t offer a speed boost in another directions,quicker cut,and a psych out to a defender with the press of a button and a direction of the joy stick. Next up I would like to address blitzing when offensive linemen out number a defensive line and an outside line backer getting a free lane to the qb. Everyone that’s played online in MUT has experienced someone abusing this and when they are facing someone abusing this the person runs it for every single play, qb’s have less the normal amount of time that an NFL line can protect a qb from.. not saying it needs to be perfect but for every play and this is the persons sole defensive strategy a real offensive line would adjust.
4. Streamers E-books and coin funding- I would consider these under the same category as abuse. Making profit off a game because you KNOW plays that work because of how poorly the AI can read targets and where the ball is going. Most of the offensive plays I’ve seen streamers use have corners and safeties running into each other to get a receiver open or use rpos to generate a better runs because the AI is thinking pass. Or better yet creating a defense that no matter what formation the offense comes out in the defense can put a stop to it. I’m all for E-books if they’re educational but not when their plays books teaching you how to abuse mechanics. Streamers/youtubers getting funding from coin websites and still being a face of the community when the average person can buy coins from the promoted website and get banned for it. It’s one of the sole reasons why the auction house has such inflated prices, people are more than willingly to open their wallets than invest time to grind something. Opening you wallet should NOT give you an edge in a game that is rated for E for everyone, it’s technically a gamble every time you invest money into the game hoping that the players you just spent $100+ for will give you the edge to make/win superbowls.
5. Release content in waves correctly- how many of us players have been wanting their favorite player to pop up just to get a shit overall and wait another 3 months for EA to make a new/better versions of them. I have and I know I’m not alone. Taking to basically the end of the football season to release 1 99 card is crazy. Restructure your field/comp passes to be in seasons and what I mean by that is it’s okay to release 99’s early. IE: week 4 of season 1 99’s are released, and everyone is trying to create the best team with what they currently have and compete. When season two comes around only allow 1-2 (doesn’t have to be a 99) player to be able to be used in the next season- this alone with make the life span of the core cards in the beginning much more valuable and allow players to be able to grind for the new season two players while still keeping players they loved from the previous season. And at the end of the season allow all season collections to be used so the player is able to be proud of the collection they’ve made throughout the year playing the game.
6. Allow all platforms to be able to use one auction house, if we get to face each other in online games. The value at what we spend our coins on should be the same.
7. JUST DO BETTER EA

What degree can I earn for reading the whole thread?

You had more than 7 points

1. I agree, but they are not gonna leave it  cause it gets them money.

2. EA is too lazy to even implement that and even then if they did it would be so madden mobile-ly that i couldn’t fathom anyone playing for that long. (if we went over 100 stats imagine booting the game up on christmas and you see 144 lineman on lvl. 20 offensive line, it sounds horrible.)

3.n 4.: this is literally every game in existence…..every person will try to abuse the system. o-line has been horrible for almost a decade and EA refuses to write code for it instead they band-Aid it with other mechanics to make it seem normal, EA has patch stuff like the quick juke from 2 years ago where you run towards the pylon to either side and use  both joysticks towards the opposite direction they also can’t defend the disengage glitch from madden 21 it’s pathetic….people have adjusted to these things but everyone has seen it 2,000 times to this point which brings up the 4th bulletin board, those streamers/youtubers your referring to are not getting money from coin websites cause they wouldn’t be allowed in tournaments like the MCS in the first place

And if the examples in your mine are Zirk and Dom they have sponsors for actual real-life games in the sporting world, or food prep, or VPN’s of whatnot, and they don’t play this game to be a high level player. As for the others they spend hours on end to get ready for the next installed game, to the next installed  game so on and so forth to win big cash prizes and people who even made it there still get rewarded. Most people are not buying e-books cause they show their practice on said platforms 24/7. Everyone can pick that up just by watching them for FREE.

“Opening your wallet should NOT give you an edge in a game that is rated for E for everyone, it’s technically a gamble every time you invest money into the game hoping that the players you just spent $100+ for will give you the edge to make/win superbowls.”

What does a rating of a game have to do with expenses? There’s supply and demand for things in business. If I'm not making close to my value or misinformed information  on said pack, that's a class action lawsuit waiting to happen. 

5.  No early 99 cards. I firmly agree with your last sentence, which they did last year with Ken Stabler and took away from us this year.

6. n 7. agreed.
