The new Key system for Solos??

Am I crazy or is it basically impossible to get two keys in the same week until they line up with the daily rewards after like the fourth day. 

Is there anything I'm missing with this whole key system it seems like you'll have to not play solos one week in order to play them on any difficulty but easy and it seems like easy is capped at 4,500 Battle points which means it's impossible to max out the rewards on easy

I was looking at the same thing yesterday. Didn't see anywhere else to get silver keys so I guess you're right. 

MUT community: "hey EA, could you do a little more for off line players? 

EA: "sure, but we'll still gate keep it so you don't really get anything. It'll seem like we're offering more but really you'll just the same or less as previous years. Thanks for playing"

Lol

Also almost all the rewards just being packs instead of any actual coin and then all the overalls being barely '70s is another kick in the dick... 🤣 

And they still didn't give us what I really want which is just a full real NFL season against the real NFL teams with my ultimate team.

I also don't understand why year after year there's absolutely no info into what actually goes into your battle score and how to maximize it LOL

Absolutely hate the new system. I just want all Madden solos and some H2H sporadicly. You get a key for free every week and then after 4 days worth of objectives you get the 2nd one to make a gold key. So yes, this appears to condense the time allotted each week to complete the hardest difficulty. They literally took a huge step back from solo battles, unless there’s something I’m not understanding here.

The cpu house rules is easy coin until we get a gold key. Yes they set the gold key up ridiculously to acquire.

I mean if enough people chime in and bitch the devs definitely creep this for forum

While it's a lot of grinding, I'm not sure what EA should change about this that would really make it address the issues with Solo play. It seems like the rewards are improved over what we had in recent years.

If the issue is about keys and you grind enough, you get the Gold Key and the more challenging CPU path, and with better rewards. If the issue is having to grind some, and then having to grind some more, maybe you just need to look at it as one long grind with benchmarks.

If you can't grind enough to play all of the games within the tail end of the week, save your Gold key for the next week, and keep accumulating keys while you grind out Solos at whatever pace you want.

I suppose EA could make it really easy to get coins and items, but that's not going to happen for reasons we all understand full well. As someone that feels forced to grind out wins against sweaty, cheesy players, the current setup actually feels like it could be worthy of Solo play on its own merits, and not as the lesser evil when compared to head-to-head.

Every new madden I look n see if the old solo battles  returns, sadly it doesn't look like it again. Top 100 ment something n you were rewarded for it, like 500k a week, for 13 games!

How do you go from that to this garbage, smh.

The entire key system is completely unnecessary let me pick a difficulty and let me play it once a week and just be done with it...

There definitely should be some verbiage and explanation of what the max battle score is I wouldn't have wasted my silver key on the easy setting this week if I had known it was impossible to get the max rewards

For that matter I should know exactly in real time during the game what is adding and subtracting to my battle score otherwise what the fuck is the point of even having a battle score

Just replying to this and bumping the thread to let everyone know that there appears to be no time limit as to how long you have to complete each Solo Champions sequence.

As a test, I deliberately left the last game of my own initial sequence unplayed until Wednesday, and it was still available to play even after all of the weekly objectives reset.

So theoretically you could have three separate runs going on each difficulty concurrently as long you have enough keys in hand.

Or you could simply stock up enough keys and play the mode at your own time and your own pace.

Personally I prefer it this way. Sometimes real life intervenes, and it's good not to feel forced to do everything within such a limited timeframe.

This. I completed the Gold Key set, and just held it. I can always use it later.
