Moneymaking Methods

Title says all.

I do all challenges Im more asking about market flip etc. techniques.

Without anyone selling their soul of their plan could you advise on some ways to maybe generate 100k passively while playing.

Every cheap card has a more expensive set it can go into

straight forward yet cryptic. Helpful, thank you

so many sets are profitable if you start from the bottom and work your way up.

the 84 gametime cards were super profitable until today.  you could build them effortlessly for 85k and sell them for 110k all day yesterday.

campus heroes have been very profitable also.  need to know filters for 83 cores but you can make a lot here.  always peak if some of the campus hero 83 snipes are flippable for a premium.  at one point people were paying a lot for quay, chinn, alijah, but doubt it anymore.

the afc north and nfc north team builder sets have been good, but start with the 80s and 78s and don't sell until you get a conklin or laporta built.

look for opportunities when new promo rolls out.  use your head and you'll get the answers far faster than you will asking here.

lots of methods will change with the rotation to 88s but this has been consistent for the past week.

Super insightful, thanks man.. need to get back on the saddle

I know many find pride in being No Money Spent but hear me out. If you spend an hour slaving away doing sets and auction hunting, couldn’t you just spend an hour making money in real life instead, and then using your money to buy madden packs to reap the same rewards. 

as an employer, I would not give praise to that of a self-made madden millionaire. I’d rather see you have work experience

You get more by spending 20$ then griding hrs in madden lol. Most of NMS are dudes who have plenty of time

Some peoples jobs suck. And the value EA offers in their packs get worse every year.

it doesn't take much time at all.  it literally takes 3-5 minutes between games just checking filters quick and then going back to playing.  if you sit and just grind the AH you will get burned out.  once you have a healthy stack of a few million it becomes VERY easy to stack coins through LTDs which is how the best guys do it.  you have to grind the first couple million, but once you can grab up the top LTDS at the start of a new overall cycle, you can make 3-5 mil in about 1 hour.

Don't buy coin packs from the Store, EVER.  As with many things in life, timing is everything.  There's really no magic trick, although you've received some very good comments and suggestions.  It basically just requires investing the time to learn which sets are popular (i.e. profitable) versus which are not.  And this can (and will) change during the course of the week.  The market swings, often wildly, between Mon/Tues/Wed and weekends.  Buy what you feel are the most popular AKA (or other promos) during the week and sell them back to the weekend players on Fri/Sat.  Then flip the script on weekends, buy the cheap Legends players while they are plentiful and sell em back to people during the week.

Start getting familiar with the Prices Dashboard: https://www.mut.gg/prices/ -- using this can often help you determine which theme teams are most popular.  Be advised that EA absolutely hates when people profit, so be aware that things could change at nearly any point.  In prior years, you could snipe and sit on gold cards / Core Elite, etc. from the most popular theme teams and positions, but that isn't nearly as profitable this year, as we only require 20/20 to complete them teams.  Don't snooze on the popular punters, kickers and FBs from certain theme teams, these tend to sell for a pretty penny -- although EA introduced a bunch of Platinum cards of these positions to try and lessen the profitability.

Once you've built a bit of a coin stack, it becomes significantly easier to start rolling those coins around and earning profit.  Sniping LTDs comes with risk, but can often be done if you are patient.  Only invest in your team if you really need it to play competitively, etc.  Try to go through the year with a team of budget beasts.  Figure out when MCS tournament play is happening, as that will increase demand by quite a lot.  Many Comp players only invest in their teams leading up to tournaments, at which point, they'll pay nearly anything.

Yep, even minimum wage will yield more coins than doing monotonous tasks in madden. I personally don’t find joy in grinding sets and watching the screen load.

And how do you end up with a few millions to begin with? By slaving your time away at beginning of madden. The rewards for NMS are absolutely garbage

Yup exactly

here is a good example right now that you can do

build larry little

you need 20 79 legends (approx 6000-7000 each), even at 7k it's 35 per 82, that's 140k for the generic cards

then build larry little using 3 80s and 1 78 legend.  if you get stuck on the 80 legends, you can go buy the 77s (5 for one 80).  if you get stuck and can't find the 77s for under 4k, then go buy some cheap 75s to make the 77s.

if you do it right you should be able to build him for a hair under 200k and sell him for 270k, netting around 40-50k.  should take you 10 minutes if you scan quickly and just check in between games.  don't sit and wait, if it's not there move on and come back to it.
