I'll. keep repeating... You dont have to "spend money" to build a significant MUT nest egg...

I'm married with 2 children, a full time job plus 2 side hustles... Meaning I have AT MOST 2 hours a day to play, many days just 1 hour and I have gone 3 weeks without picking up a controller at least TWICE since Madden 25 dropped (plus more shorter breaks of a week or less). I received the 4600 points from buying the Deluxe Edition and the 15 dollars for Season 3's Premium Field Pass (I instantly regretted this). Other than that. I have been NMS.

i made just under 300k from the 4600 points (most of it was Plat players I used for 2 or 3 weeks before quickselling). Those first 3 weeks all the coins I had were from grinding Challenges/Solo Battles/Solo Seasons then investing them into sets that gave me 1.5k - 2.5k profit per set. I'd list then play while waiting for them to sell and then reinvest. When I got over 1m, I started making investments (mostly buying players for cheap early in the week that would play on my team then selling them over the weekend for small profit).

Eventually I found 3 or 4 players that I could snipe for cheap and sell for profit overnight and rinsing and repeating (these 3 or 4 changed roughly every few weeks). Then Id go to the store; find deals that introduced a flood of certain cards into the market then go scoop as many of those cards as I could afford. Then wait 2 or 3 days and sell them for a tidy profit when supply dries up and they go back up in price.

Sometimes, I'd take a loss during a week. But I leaned on my experience trading forex and stocks: I always locked away a reserve I never touched (either as raw coins or LTD/Platinums). That way I always had capital if a deal presented itself and I was never in danger of blowing my account

It took me about a month to make my first 1m. I'm now at 14m with another 2m and I only recently moved into Legends in H2H. This is because I'm far from elite at playing the actual game (but Ive gotten better as the year goes). II've never played ranked, champs or gauntlet and I played 4 games of ZC MUT Draft (won 2). I say this to dispel the notion that I've stacked coins by winning games and getting SB rewards (my best run was going 8-0 then falling 1 game short earlier this week). I plan to be at 20m in COINS and 2-3m in Binder investments going into the SB promo.

My team is usually 90% BNDs and/or LTDs. But I spoiled myself over Christmas with a 95 OVR team (which I've now sold back). I plan to start spending coins during the SB Promo through Sugar Rush then Ultimate Legends & Golden Tickets. Ive played every other Madden since 21 (21, 23 and 25) and gotten better at this as I've gone along. If I can do it with my age, schedule and mediocre game play then 70-80% of you young guns can do MUCH better.

PS: I'm in a discord with several guys who have upwards of 30m coins and are true "No Money Spent". I'd love to hear from other NMS Players doing well. Also feel free to share tips, ask questions, etc. I'm sure the community will be glad to assist.

There's no such thing as 'NMS with points spent'. It's like having a girl on the side and claiming you're faithful.

I was upfront about buying the Deluxe version of the game. Everyone has the right/opportunity to do that. Also I'm not really boasting about being "NMS". I have no issues with ppl spending money. I can afford to spend big and build. God-squad. I choose not to cause I enjoy the challenge of building a team and working the market organically. 

It gives me a sense of fulfilment. Plus I'm using MUT to teach my boys about financial discipline and investments/trading.

But I just got tired of constantly reading ppl saying the only way to have loads or coins/a great team is to spend 100s and 1000s on packs or buy coins from 3rd party sites

So you spent money, you're not NMS. Wtf is this thread?

Did u read it at all???🙄 Yes I spent money ONCE... at the beginning when buying the game. It's all in the thread. Got a few platinums (about 5 or 6) which I used to play Solo Battles and Challenges for the 1st month and only quicksold the Plats (for around 200k+) after I'd stacked ONE MILLION coins via the process I laid out for anyone trying to do the same.

If you think the Deluxe Gamer version welcome points gives you to an account value of almost 19m (on mut.gg BINDER) then I have nothing more to say to you...

I have 16,000,000 coins, NMS. I have no problem with your strategy; game how you want. You just simply don't get the license to use the term NMS, as you spent money in excess of the cost of the standard title. Deluxe Edition gave a tremendous boost over Standard Users because you got early exclusive content as well as the points for Platinum Packs or whatever else you preferred.

This is a pay-to-play game; no one is under any illusions about that. Next year you can buy the Standard Edition if you want the NMS branding.

With that kerfuffle out of the way, I made my coins assembling Legends, assembling Team Diamonds and their Master Sets at favorable times, and sniping/reselling. I use the Companion App and the console simultaneously. I almost never bother to bid on cards with a buy now higher than I'm willing to pay.

Filters, filters, filters. If you're seeing almost 100 cards, you're probably missing the steals. Also, Companion App and console seem to pick up newly-posted cards at different times, not simultaneously.

Sorry, if you do the nasty, you are no longer a virgin.  If you have a drink, you are no longer sober.  And if you bought points regardless of whether it's the beginning, middle or end of the game, you are not NMS.  Now I could care less as NMS is a useless title to me (and most people in Madden) anyhow, one I don't have, nor would I ever claim to have even if I didn't spend money on points.  But I would like to understand your NMS rules a bit more.  If I get a credit back from EA that puts points on my account, and I spend them on the game does that count?  I didn't spend any money, but I did use points.   What about the same scenario just Sony giving me the credit and I use the Sony credit to buy points?  Bottom line is you spend extra on the game to get the additional points, so you paid extra to get an advantage.

I would rather spend time playing the game ...

For 2023 I worked the auction house and sets to earn millions NMS and my record and playbook skill level was meh .. did I feel like a wolf of Madden street sure but I didn't buy a football game to be a day trader....

This year I just don't care about being NMS elitist and this is the most fun I've had...

Record is better... Team is better... Fun level is more.. and about football

Nobody is taking you serious and honestly, you look like a complete clown right now. You're like some loud mouth salesman that is trying to get people to buy their garbage. You bought the deluxe version, you're not NMS. Stop claiming you are because it's a lie and all you're doing is annoying people. You're not as smart as you think you are.

Got the standard version of the game, 2-3 weeks after the launch. Have 94 overall team with the ZC boost and sitting with 8.9M coins. Full time job and family. im a pure NMS since M20.

Sorry to burst your bubble or delusion. You’re not what you’re claiming to be. You bought the deluxe version which gave you a head start and points which gave you the ability to buy packs without grinding the game. This also gave you a leg up to the “true” NMS title. Go to the bathroom and look in the mirror and tell yourself That you are not a NMS and instead a low money spender LMS.
