Basically done with madden 25

Just sold my team (I couldve had so much more coins but I lost 2 mil on opening packs the last few days since I didn’t really GAF)

gonna rock 95 SB cards and 93 combine players until around easter promo  because their value is still so good but im basically done trying to get the best players 

this is around the time I did this last year, might play more CFB, and now it’s getting warmer out im gonna be on less and less so I felt like this had to be done for me 

can’t wait for RP

Have you played CFB lately?

It is rough right now. 

They gave us a welcome pack with an upgradeable Leon Sandcastle player, but no way to upgrade this player. The upgrade tokens are no where to be found in the store.

They are giving out some type of spring break card that seems to be changing the store offers. They did not explain how to get these cards or how to use these cards.

They gave us qualifier objectives that do not count correctly. Every time you complete one objective, it resets to back to 0 with out giving out the award. 

They seem to have a problem with the English language. Some of the description in the objectives for challenges will be missing key words like "Don't", so you waste time doing the opposite of what is required to complete the objective.

It is a mess!

Why would he. He’s soft. Can’t throw a deep ball and he‘s shit after his first read. Being a dolphins fan is almost as bad as being a Titans fan. Complete 💩

Good day 

its a odd situation down there in Miami .Did you know Tua is the best quarterback they’ve had since Dan Marino,  as a Vikings fan I Can’t believe we just got rid of our quarterback who just won  14 games yet every one trashed the organization for getting rid of Kirk cousins then look what happened so you never know

Still grinding 100%

Oh so sad, but OH so very, very true.  I get done wr0k every evening and almost immediately plop down in front of the TV and absolutely dread that I've gotta hop on to keep up with my Dailies. Most evenings I look forward to it, as my boys are eagerly waiting to get a few games of squads before they go pay attention to their families, but the off nights I inevitably waste a couple/few hours tinkering and have barely played anything beyond MUT Menus... building sets, working AH, etc.

There's essentially zero content if you aren't buying packs, it's beyond sad and pathetic. Even on content days, it's regularly late / buggy / broken or just plain missing or lacking in some notable way. 

I hate myself for wasting so much damn time in this objectively not good game, but I've tried and searched and EA knows they have us by the balls, it's not liek we're going to go play the other NFL simulation games. Oof.

You always hit the nail on the head Peatrick :)

MUT is a time trap.

The way it’s designed is just brilliant in how it pulls you in.

It’s not even about the actual gameplay anymore — it’s all about making you grind for rewards to keep you constantly chasing new things.

EA keeps constantly dangling carrots in front of us with new cards, limited-time events, and the daily grind rewards. The problem is, even when you get those rewards, they’re often so small that they feel like a drop in the ocean of things you still want to do.

The real kicker is that you’re not even playing the game for fun anymore — you’re playing because it feels like you have to keep up, even if that just means spending hours managing your team instead of playing games.

If you miss a week, you return to see that your binder lost 10-20% of its value due to a new program dropping.

It’s a perfect storm of dopamine hits that keep you engaged without ever truly satisfying you.

You might 'acquire' some virtual items, but at the end of the day, you have nothing and your friends and family could care less about the new CB you pulled today.

In a way, you guys are the only ones that care and that's why most of us are here posting daily.

EA has figured out the science of addiction — and it’s working.

Don't forget games not registering as Wins and making you start the streak all over again.

I wouldn't call it playing.

I go on my Franchise and make some moves, skip a few weeks.

I go on MUT, complete a few challenges, the daily's, check out the AH for a little while, and maybe play a game or two.

Before you know it, 2-3 hours passed by and you haven't done any playing.

How does franchise mode work? I've always wondered but never tried. Is it similar to mut?

Don't even try it; it's more disappointing than anything.

I started playing Madden in 97' and there was a time when Franchise mode was okay; I believe Madden 09 (Bret Farve) was the last time I enjoyed playing Franchise mode; Madden 25 (Ray Lewis) was also fun.

There is no life in Franchise mode; it feels cold and deserted, neglected.

I don't think they can fix it, otherwise they would have done it long ago.

Why in the world would you offer the same terrible product every year, unless that's the best you can offer.

The Show dropped Thurs night.  Havent touched Madden since

Last baseball game I really got into was the triple play games. Specifically 99. Haha. I tried a baseball game few years ago and struggled to even hit the ball. Lol.   Is the show pretty good? Do they have an AH like madden?
