And if I really want it badly, I'll buy the Simmons card that is sellable
Only ranked cards that are sellable is the ranked Master cards like Talib, cj2k etc. Unless they changed something this is new to me

Agreed - the Simmons and Washington cards are all BNDs. Only the Top 100 Warren Sapp card is auctionable for Season 5.
Gotta disagree on this one. Ranked is absolutely great for coins and you can get a very decent card by winning more than you lose. Other modes like gauntlet and champs punish you real bad for losing but in ranked you'll make over 400k coins if you can win more than losin.
Ranked is a lot easier than the Gauntlet and new superbowl event
I loved ranked. I'm not sure why but way less skillless garbage 8 man blitzes called every single play compared to something like champs. No idea why but I ran into mid blitz spammers less than 10 times going from starting rank to champion rank. Just booted up a champs game, brain dead zero IQ mid blitz BS right off the bat.
I enjoy ranked the most of any of the H2H modes (outside of squads w/ friends....that's by far the best), but I stopped early on this season primarily due to the playoff H2H event. The coins made from it far surpassed what I felt ranked was worth at the time.
I'll be bummed not to grab Simmons. Ended up selling my team Sun night, so not in the shape to do a late season push.

Grats on winning that Julius Peppers auction! I realize that's off topic for this thread, but didn't want to slide into yer DMs with a random unsolicited message. Gosh he's been fantastic for me, been using that BND card for a minute (since Thanksgiving) and boy does he play well. Even the high end QBs can barely evade him with their top end speed. Although pursuit angles remain highly suspect. Can't wait to hear how you think he plays! Enjoy, sir.

Thank you Peatrick! Lots of Pack Blitz and Binder Syncs paid for that. 😀. I actually built my own 95 Peppers when the TD program rolled out, and as a Packers TTer I’ll be holding onto him for the rest of the year, so it made sense to bid to win the BND and auction the one I built before prices decline too much. He’s been a beast, even though I’m only running 0 AP No Outsiders on him.

Same stack for me, personally... although i did (briefly) try 1AP Edge Threat, but wasn't worth the AP cost. I nearly second-guessed myself when trying to choose which BND player to take, i kind of assumed we'd get some decent, if not truly elite Julius Peppers defensive back for Zero Chill (at the time, it was just turkey day) so i doubted the longevity... but boy, glad i went with my gut here. Clearly you know what you are getting yourself into.
I understand the goalpost was moved. But does anyone have a work around or anything. I'm trying to get as many coins as possible with the ranked sessions. And I'm in techinically the legend tier but it won't boost me up. Anyone who has any info please let me know. I want to get that Sapp its 2 mill for free.

https://www.mut.gg/players/21000-isaiah-simmons/25-11421000/#abilitiesHowever, your original point remains valid. This Ranked shit is not particularly enjoyable. I was late to get into the game mode, barely achieved 2600 for DeVondre Campbell a couple cycles ago, then breezed through to 2900 RP for Jordan Fuller, no regrets there. Glad i held off and didn't try to push to 3200 for Chris Johnson, can never have enough discounted MZKO players on defense, but eventually more legit Safeties were released. You might not have to wait that long, these Superbowl cards are going to be absolutely cracked -- i assume ultra-overpowered, on par with MUTmas / Zero Chill, if not even worse. Saw things liek Universal Coverage and Unstoppable Force are looming. Similar to last year.
Heck, i wouldn't be surprised if we get an essentially copied and pasted Superbowl promo from M24, with slightly different names/players. The key is to just play a lot of games, the matchmaking is terrible enough that you'll eventually get some easy wins, which will override numerous losses. Basically just requires to win 1 out of every 4 games to continue advancing. It's not the best of the best players who climb to the top of the "Leaderboards" it's merely those who play a ton.
Games unplayable. I just quit up 7-0 in the first quarter. Ive now lost like fifteen straight over the last day or two, most of which i rightfully quit after watching the cartoon on my screen masquerading as a "game" that we "play". What a joke of a game.

You have to be in the top 100 to get the boost. They patched it during last season.
I was going to play ranked this week just to get Washington but then I saw gronk coming and I'd rather blow 2m coins than play 20nranked hames

Your absolutely correct, this is an objectively not good game, run by greedy and ignorant overlords who clearly do not play their own game.
We'd all be doing ourselves a favor by uninstalling the games and finding something better to do with our time. But never quit with a lead. Lot can happen in four quarters. Getting those reps against whatever cheese will only serve to make us stronger.
So, two choices, as I see it:

- Git gud
- Uninstall
20 straight losses. Last five or so games i quit in two or three plays. There is no "git gud" there is only uninstall.
And the loser EA employees and whale fanboys will say, "we dont need ya" go join jim acosta and don lemon in the unemployment line then. Lol now THEY better "git gud" at life. Losers
