Uhhh, trying to decide which (if any) set players to build.  Definitely nowhere near as impactful as prior Combine promos.  Feels rather lackluster if i'm being totally honest.  Vernon Davis only boosts himself.  Sure, they at least gave us peasants a +1 Stats strategy item, so we don't have to buy it, but this is an extremely low bar to give any type of "credit" for.  I assumed this would be a multi-week long promo, but the most significant boosts all seem to end on March 5th.  Bleh.

<p>Guessing they will start Free Agency next week since they are ending Combine so early.</p>

I’m just saying it shouldn’t be allowed you buy a game under the impression you can get everything offered in it and not have to buy extra stuff. I think if you are going to have things that cost extra it should not be players leaning into a pay to win it should only be for jerseys and gear kind of like Fortnite skins. No advantage at all from it . 

I do think you thought on pricing going way up is off though there is a price point people will not go past. And people just wouldn’t buy games in the masses if you raise the price to high.

<p>It was an exaggeration, but if the game was free, you can bet that you would see much more creative ways to get you to spend more money and there would be a lot less free cards.</p>

MUT should be free honestly since they legit lock a lot of stuff behind pay walls. It’s kind of ridiculous you have to pay $70 dollars for a game and still can’t get everything in it without spending more money. Should be against the law

<p>As I said, I hate microtransactions, however, it's how they kept the game prices the same when everything else under the sun increased in price 30-40%.  If they went to making the game free and purely based on microtransactions, any card worth havin…</p>

<p>Not defending EA and other vendors at all, but since Xbox Series X and PS5 came out, the cost of the games has not changed.  They were and always have been $69.99 with prices higher for deluxe and other editions.  But standard game prices haven't ch…</p>

<p>Lynch was good, K9 is better.  The acceleration is very noticeable.  Now is he 2.5MM better, maybe.  Especially since coins are pretty easy to get this year.</p>

Which was listed on the set description. But the collector series master sets did give the cards back actionable so instead of arguing with me... touch grass

<p>Thankfully you were right on this one brother.</p>

I'd say based on other sets like this one this year that it is more likely closer to 100% that they WILL be auctionable... but its ea so you never know. But keep hope there's a good chance they will be auctionable

<p>Stocking Stuffer's returned cards were not auctionable.</p>
