remember when we used to get a full BND Champion in promo field passes?

guess that’s truely dead lol. so many chance packs now where half the community pulls the minimum. we’re stoked when we luck out for a full one when we used to be guaranteed it

Worst game ever. Every year it gets worse. This is rhe last ea product ill ever play.

As soon as they introduced "opportunity" packs everyone speculated it would go from a fun occasional thing, to a straight up casino. and it did.

Field passes in general are silly. Def miss the old ways

we don’t even get a hero fantasy pack, not even a BND anymore. no way their business team is this short sighted with this approach. they’re gonna run out more players than find whales to exploit

They truly believe they can support the mode with JUST whales. Bold move and as someone with business & management experience I can tell you that's not a healthy decision financially in the long run. The difference between this and something like MLB The Show as far as MUT modes go is night and day. It's pure greed bcs if MLB can afford to not completely rob their players the NFL and EA certainly can they just won't.

The show is awesome. between the team affinity programs, general program releases and the topps now players every week, you can have such a competitive team for free. not a single real life or in game dime spent

I put nearly 1,100 hours into last year's game and am already pretty much done with this game already. I totally spaced that we hadn't gotten a BND champ in a field pass because of how bad everything else is with this game. I truly hope the play base is completely dead by December. Maybe then these idiots will pull their heads out of their asses

MLB the Show has to give out free content because its game isn’t engaging enough to leech off the whales. EA clearly is targeting the addicts because the casual gamer has checked out or stopped feeding them money for their predatory behavior.

MLB while not as popular as the NFL isn't a slouch in the attendance and revenue department either (MLB 10.9 billion vs NFL 18.7 billion) Simple greed by EA & indifference by the NFL is why we're seeing the destruction of this mode. MLB could be greedier than they are and get away with it but they don't. You fix this in one of two ways. Either a huge sales decline &/or decline in microtransactions OR a well coordinated social media campaign that draws the attention of the NFL which applies pressure to to EA. Whales and addicts keeping the mode afloat bcs that's what brings in the most revenue isn't a long term recipe for success.

They have a great balance between free and paid content and don't get enough credit for it tbh.

Eh the field pass and challenges gets you at least half way to one. Win double digit games in mut champs and your basically there

Hard to win in Champs or Ranked because of the big spenders. Their teams are 3-4 OVR above what I've got.

Your argument is relevant only in a vacuum.

Wasn’t it in the game last year?  At least for Most Feared and Zero Chill?
