Kneejerk Reaction To Combine Promo

I was so hyped for combine, all I heard was sell off older cards, make room for bangers and then we get a promo based on 93’s, boosts that last a week, no one even worth anything to crack my TT.. lol.. this is trash. I’m so bummed.

Uhhh, trying to decide which (if any) set players to build.  Definitely nowhere near as impactful as prior Combine promos.  Feels rather lackluster if i'm being totally honest.  Vernon Davis only boosts himself.  Sure, they at least gave us peasants a +1 Stats strategy item, so we don't have to buy it, but this is an extremely low bar to give any type of "credit" for.  I assumed this would be a multi-week long promo, but the most significant boosts all seem to end on March 5th.  Bleh.

Guessing they will start Free Agency next week since they are ending Combine so early.

huge L compared to prior years!!!! Last year we were getting cards with multiple 0 AP buckets + baked on abilities - this year it's basically the same as all of the other stuff we're getting

So far the Cushing and Porter cards are nice, gonna grab the DT next

Yeah, pretty much how we all feel right now.

Shoot my as well bring my 30 ghost chem back. I was planning to load up on Combine

If you want to switch to a full 50 Panthers maybe 20 raiders TT and spend a bunch of coins on cards that down grade in a week, you might enjoy it. If not, you'll find a few little gems. It's worse than last year. There's no +1 speed for having 20 combine chems, so you pretty much get +1 with the chemistry card. Nate Wiggins adds +1 speed for all CBs but we're pretty much at max speed if you're going all out on crystals already. 🤷‍♂️ 

I'm disappointed. I expected more. That's my fault lol

So am i just flipping 96s? Im like where do i start, just got on the game. I see 49ers/Commanders options, so ill get those guys but dang knowing even 20 aint really worth it sucks. EA is going out like a company well aware leadership is changing hands

As a Colts fan 8/10

Definitely better than the insanely OP combine cards from years past

Because they probably saw how absoloutly mind numbing the game was with multiple 0-ap buckets starting in what, Christmas the past couple years? As an FTP who can't put many hours in the field feels much more even this year, ability-wise.

pretty mid, last years was so much better

jalen ramsey+pat pete were usable late into year had built in xfactors and each gave +1 speed to dbs and john ross gave +1 speed to recivers

Another promo with another desirable Head-to-Head-acquirable champion and outsized coin rewards ensuring that for another week I can only experience toxicity in Head-to-Head. This time around, the CPU experience is another brain-rot grind.

I'm losing my patience.

Bud, what do you like about ultimate team that keeps you coming back

Team building. And using a roster of individuals representing positions in American Football to play a game representing football, not Roshambo, and not Simon.
