When to sell? *thoughts&questions*

Merely trying to play the darn game requires or causes us to lose millions upon millions of coins, oof.  I don't get what people see in that Jimmy Graham MLB card, he is NOT good... definitely not elite.  I'd encourage everyone to swap him out for Anthony Barr's "Original Lurker" (who apparently now has LurkArtist ability available).

81 Change of Direction sounds brutal.  It's not September, that's horrid.

I hate that the most about this game. Can not even enjoy your team knowing the players you are using are actively tanking in value.

Everything is down ten percent over the last hour. I’m assuming due to the limited offer in the store?

Graham is crazy good.  I have him and Barr clogging the middle and that CoD is a non issue. 

I always strafe at the start of any play and only sprint when I commit to a route so that's probably why I'm not bothered.

Right on, glad yer making it work.  I've got Calvin and Anthony Barr as my primary USERs.  I'm willing to trade off those 2 inches in height for uhhh what, liek +14 COD (Graham versus Barr).  Most stats barely matter, but player movement is already brutal enough -- pursuit angles are terrible, speed ratings are not what they seem often times (significantly slower defenders will haul down the ball carrier from behind, despite massive discrepancy) and our USERs fail to animate this year.  Major regression, as far as i'm concerned.  BOOM Tech or whatever is a solution to a problem that didn't exist.  They could have kept things mostly the same as M24 cycle, but slightly tune the ability to jar the ball loose, especially from Hit Sticks.  EA needs to slap a new coat of lipstick on their Madden pig each and every year... i guess BOOM Tech sounds great in a brief marketing sheet.

I'm extremely sensitive to the bad player movement.  Hell, Gronk had ridiculously high COD stat, but his player model was too large and he turned and moved liek a dump truck, so i sold him once there were other coverage LB options.  Thanks for sharing yer perspective, i should actually try that Jimmy Graham card before i poo-poo him.

Try him out.   He animates on throws he shouldn't and I know my opponent is frustrated because I can leave a good amount of room by playing underneath knowing Graham is going to go snag the ball anyway.   

I didn't use gronk so I can't tell you if you'll feel the same way.  Calvin and Barr as users is just aa crazy so maybe you really don't need to change anything.

Best time to sell was over the weekend . I sold Kearse , Frederick and Hayward yesterday. Rebought Frederick again for 120K cheaper about an hour ago . Also was able to pick up Philips at 450K , I figure I can always QS him later and only lose 100K. I think the play now is to find any LTD’s cheap and run them until 1/9

also according to Mut Leaks we are getting 94 legends Saturday and 94 campus heroes soon . So stocking up on 91’s as well

Graham did this to me multiple times over the weekend , even made a ridiculous one handed pick he has no business making .. I was so pissed

Exactly, was actually happy to resell some cards bought on or before Christmas for profit earlier today. I wanted to run the god squad tomorrow and new years but I know I woulda lost a lot of coins holding for 2-3 more days. Plus we literally already have a bunch of 95s already sitting on top of our players that are only getting cheaper

I sold all my LTD’s last night and looks like it was a genius move rn

I was out of my primary zero chill investments and releveraged as of this past weekend. I made my final moves the day of the enhanced plat offers. Though part of that is because I’m out of town for a few more days and I have been focusing more on some short term stuff. Things I can turn over multiple times in a 24 hour period. I don’t see them becoming irrelevant but it depends on what you want and how you like to play. I enjoy the AH work. That helps me maximize my coin stack and my fun.

edit: it was actually the morning after the plat offers dropped I did my final sales. I got confused because I didn’t log on the day the plat offers dropped
