One of the cool things of the Power Ups was being able to choose the card art and there'd be a special Power Up card art if you had the highest version of the card. I know there are a bunch of people that didn't like them, but I enjoyed the power up program.

In the context of a release with multiple parts and a collection redemption set, I would choose the player that would cost me the most, which isn't necessarily the same as the player that could generate the most profit on sale when pricing is similar and supply is higher. In a case where I can choose from a subset of auctionable players, I review the items available, but don't select one immediately. I can purchase from the Auction House or build sets knowing my options, and if I bag an unexpected snipe, I can choose from the pack accordingly.

Apart from this, waiting into later parts of a program to redeem currency or sets for a random item or a randomly-determined subset of auctionable players does expose you to choosing from earlier releases with a higher supply and often weaker demand, and I've been burned several times by waiting.

It’s a bummer when 90% of the time an on-target ball can be reliably conservative-caught, but when it’s needed most you get a bad animation. Same with bad body position on aggressive catches and that unrealistic and unforgivably stupid hop on would-be RAC catches.

The improper registry of forward progress has been a thing since when I started playing on PS2.

I don’t understand how a simple programmatic logic issue can exist for more than 18 years. I’m sure it was an issue before I played Madden 09.

I can't stand how often I try to make a conservative catch at the sticks, and my receiver falls backward behind the line to gain. I outplay my opponent tactically, and my reward is a loss to RNG.
