Re: NMS players, what made you rich this year?

<p>Fair play to you. I wasn't questioning people, more just curious as to why. I play a TT and I also have a few rules that restrict who I have on the team (no Legends being the big one) so I guess there was no need to bank coins. When the odd player c…</p>

<p>I'm not sure I have much to say on this but I've always wondered why people bank coins? Given they hold no real-world value and no in-game value in 2 weeks time, what's the point?</p>

Re: Favorite Promo this year

Posts: 527
<p>I guess what you're actually asking is what Promo gave the best rewards because every Promo played exactly the same? Grind solos to get stars to get rewards. Throw for 45 yards. Intercept a pass. Don't allow 15 yards. Over and over and over and over…</p>

You're spot on regarding the impact of taking away the Power Ups, especially for us Theme Teamers.  So I'm a Packers TT guy, and a NMS player (who benefits from EA Play Pro points though).  For example, I worked hard to get Rodgers' Core Elite card at launch, and same with Jaire.  The minute they got higher level program cards, their Core Elites were essentially useless.  In the PU world, they kept their value as steps along the PU path.  

Look, I'm haven't forgotten how the PUs were a coin sink in many cases, but they created a team building experience that was richer than the one we experienced in M23.  Look how activated the community got with the Theme Team Remix concept late in the season - that should be done earlier in the year, and maybe even mixed with the Team Affinity concept.

<p>I'd take Power-Ups as in 22, over no Power-Ups at all but last year's version was a bit of a mess. I'm a Raider's TT and some PU's just stopped in the mid 90's or worse? I mean, WHYY!?!? Surely all PU's should eventually go to 99 but a whole load of…</p>

<p>Heard some strong rumors that the 50% off this year's game that all those poor bastards were given in CFM when they lost big chunks of their leagues was basically fucked up by EA as they buried the voucher online somewhere and then had a redemption …</p>

<p>I'll give it a 4. It gets points because it is a football game and I play it. I love football and it's all there is.</p> <p>MUT this year was mostly dull and unimaginative IMO. Just promo after promo of grinding repetitive challenges for cards that were o…</p>

<p>This whole promo has been a big fat L for Raiders TT so a Raiders player at FS, CB, LB, DT or G would be nice. Thanks.</p>

Re: Anyone staying on 23?

Posts: 527
<p>I'll be staying on 23 until the back end of the year, maybe even up to March next. I really only bother with solos as an NMS way of building a team; once I have a half-decent one, I just play H2H anyway. And this year there are actually some other f…</p>

Easier said than done unfortunately. Most players want to spam glitchy plays over and over again.

<p>Yup. And if it's glitchy but beatable, I'll stick around. It's fun watching those guys collapse after 1 or 2 possessions because they have 1 plan and it's been busted. </p> <p>That goalline run nonsense is pretty much impossible to stop on a regular basis…</p>

<p>Quick tip? Quit out and play someone that wants to play football. Even if you can stop it, it's boring and not worth your time.</p>

Re: Need help with last challenge for Jamal Adams

Posts: 527
<p>You need that first score super quick, ideally in the first 1 or 2 plays. I just restarted until I got that and then it's about scoring off a turnover ideally or a 3 and out if not because you'll then have all day to get that 3rd TD. I'm sure the CP…</p>

Re: Mad 24 worth 70 ?

Posts: 527
<p>It'll need to be below £20 for me to even think about it. Let's face it, 24 will be a roster update with a handful of barely noticeable changes and, as such, just isn't worth my time or money. With Maximum Football coming out in October I might not …</p>

The correct answer is the physic-defying fall-forwards. Or any animation where abilities have clearly over-ruled reality. 

BTW all of you voting agains the the auction house tax. You understand this money doesn't go anywhere right? But it's important that there be some tax.  Otherwise there's no penalty for someone (or some bot) to just buy and sell cards to themselves all day and night.  I'm sure there's various abuses to be found in transferring your wealth to and from players but if nothing else this could jam up the servers for people who are actually trying to, you know, buy and sell stuff.

<p>Was going to post something similar. Just release a game that plays well. Have abilities, don't have abilities. Power Up everyone. Power Up no one. Honestly, I really don't care. Just make a game that plays like football. </p> <p>And the point about the A…</p>

<p>24 will be a slightly different polished turd than 23. It'll have a handful of very well-marketed 'new features' that are either not new, having been in older games, or not features, in that they make minimal to no difference to gameplay. See the tr…</p>
