<p>Unfortunately that's not how our system works. You either refund the whole event or pay out the whole event. There is no cutting it in portions to pay it out. We have done this before with NFL games where if we list a player in a predictor and that …</p>TlVlO said:The reason smh I think dq ppl get refunded and ppl who guessed it right should get rewarded there were 4 choices 3/4 got to play right? So because it affected 25% you are gonna just call the whole thing off? Like if a team in football is dq’d they get the L plain and simple. Or fantasy football your guy tears his acl first play of the game they don’t cancel the week that’s completely backwards. Be mad at the player not the game. That’s why there a literal saying “hate the player not the game”But it’s your event, and I appreciate it. Just would throw my 2 cents in. 🤷♂️

Re: MCS Zero Chill Challenge Predictor (EVENT REFUNDED DUE TO DQ)

Why should I punish all the people who picked a guy who …</p>TlVlO said:I mean honestly it’s messed up. It’s not anyone’s fault that the guy got DQ ‘d but the people who actually guess it right are going to be punished? That’s just not right. It’s not like this is a raffle or dealing with real money. This is digital currency that you guys created, so why would you cancel that for the people that got it correct? It’s already hard enough to do that with not enough information on all the MCS players.

<p>EA said something along the lines of something that happened that did not follow their code of conduct. That is all that was confirmed by EA.</p>nymets945 said:Why was there a DQ?

<p>It should be refunded now. It goes through at the top of an hour, and I waited until EA confirmed the DQ before I refunded, which unfortunately they did not do until right before the first game.</p>efj115 said:When will we be refunded?
Re: Great video on the current state of MUT and all EA shenanigans
<p>To me, the high value chase cards are your LTDs, which I'm fine with. And like you said earlier, thinking just H2H is short sighted. People play solos daily and don't play H2H so there is nothing new for them to play if they don't get new solos. Thi…</p>blamppp said:I think they have to restructure some of these small programs to have high value chase cards like that though, I agree the content is kinda lacking as far as solo's that doesn't bother me personally because I hate solos. i'm fine w/ h2h, I actually wish they had a couple different versions and maybe more content h2h wise.
Re: Great video on the current state of MUT and all EA shenanigans
<p>I get what you are getting at but please hear me out when I say this: this isn't good content. </p> <p>I can interact with this for 5 minutes and be done because I don't have any more packs to open. There's no solos, there's no sets, and there is nothin…</p>blamppp said:I think you have to look at it from a total perspective instead of so short sighted though
EA was asked by gamers & streamers to add content, they added content in a different format and now people want to crucify them but it's exactly what they asked for? they could have just left it out completely and been ok, why would they keep adding stuff and putting in effort when everybody just goes crazy on them and demands they do things a certain way everytime something drops.
if they gave the wrong info that's one thing, but just those cards I bought the packs and would have liked to pull a top guy, but I didn't I got the 88's and it was a strike out, but I was okay with it, I didn't feel particularly slighted by it.
most people that complain really just want everything to go the way they want it to go? It's not always going to be that way, and that promo could have VERY EASILY been skipped by players and EA? I just don't view it as being that serious, I think alot of the streamers & youtube guys are causing false outrage about sh*t that really don't matter w/ these programs, packs, odds, EA etc. and they have to do that so people will watch them and engauge, just like EA has to do packs & gameplay a certain way for people to stay involved.
I just don't see gilmore, allen, or pacheco making a big difference on anyone's team at all, most of the million plus coin players are not even that good, and definately in most cases not better than a player that a little lower than they are.
I think you'd be hard pressed to find more game footage of pacheco making plays that paul krause, sean taylor or ronnie lott tbh. I think it's all smoke & mirrors to get people riled up, the cards don't even do anything in the game.
just looking back at your post you mentioned value w/ redux etc, not sure on that because those 3 cards really aren't holding value like that anyway? 800k on 2 and pacheco is hanging in there at 1.4, I just don't see them as holding crazy value or being unattainable.
Re: Great video on the current state of MUT and all EA shenanigans
<p>My point is if they just wanted the cards to have value, make them all LTD. If you make all 3 cards from yesterday LTDs, then we aren't having this discussion right now. EA chose to call them champions which made the community believe there should b…</p>blamppp said:I don't think you can operate/debate too heavily off what might happen? I mean yeah? then it would be alot of reason to complain, I mean I see the point? it just hasn't happened as of yet, I think if they push it too far the money stops so they can't really do that but? not sure.
not completely sure i follow the ltd redux logic? they do have that?
what high value card is not set or redux? and not really obtainable? blitz? again I think blitz is kinda a black friday money based promo, so i'm ok with that.
also most of the cards come down in value already so? almost every card is really attainable at a useable point.
Re: Great video on the current state of MUT and all EA shenanigans
<p>My fear is this is just a step. You are right, these are not "major" promos. But if this works on a smaller promo, why wouldn't it work on a bigger promo? Why eat 1 slice of pie when you can have the whole pie, ya know? That's where my problem is. W…</p>blamppp said:but your acting like we don't have champion sets, some things are and some things aren't, it's like your debate is about certain promo's that don't have a champion set, but many and pretty much all the big promo's have had them, things like cover athletes are basically just bonus content to add high value cards into the game, some of this stuff didn't even exist in the past, so it's added content w/ high value cards.
I absolutely think they are pushing packs on us, it's your choice to buy or not buy though.
2nd promo in a row where packs is the only way, but it's not even like a major promo, it's like a bonus content promo, so i'm fine w/ that.
you could do all the things you mentioned in all the major promo's, harvest, most feared etc, it's like your saying they can't have any extras promo's with different format.
you can earn the cards by grinding for coins, it's noway you couldn't have easily grinded for a million coin card or two at this point in the game, it's december, we are 3-4 months into the game.
Re: Cards seem more expensive and money is harder to get?
<p>From quick research, MLB The Show sold/downloaded (free with Xbox Gamepass) around 6 million copies. Now not everyone played Diamond Dynasty (their version of Ultimate Team), but let's say 1/3 did. So 2 million. </p> <p>No where did I say "rare cards ch…</p>blamppp said:okay lets expand on this
whats the player base like? is it bigger than madden? it should definately be bigger than madden if it's better built correct?
your entire statement right here is basically just getting a rare card for very cheap? I feel like you could grind the game enough in madden easily to obtain a million coin player at this point no probley? so you might have a point? just not sure?
I think when things are free or cheap people lose interest? I don't think MLB the show or 2k etc that use some different models are anywhere near as interesting. you could be right though? i'm not saying your wrong? but is there actual player count? popularity numbers to prove it?
Re: Great video on the current state of MUT and all EA shenanigans
<p>This is my 11th year of MUT. You make set cards hold value, and then the champion holds value. This has been a structure before and it has been very successful. All cards eventually decline in price. I mean 92 Faulk went from 800k to 400k in like a …</p>blamppp said:you have seen what happens to cards when you make a set for them, the value just auto declines, there has to be something that creates high value cards in the game.
are certain bundles not good? yeah? don't buy those ones. pick & choose the ones you think are the best value to maximize coins if that's what you choose to do, but the bundles w/ value have definately been there.
so ea is pushing you to do a TT? and pushing you to buy packs? easy say no.
Re: Cards seem more expensive and money is harder to get?
<p>This is wrong, and I can prove it just by using another game: MLB The Show. You earn stubs, you buy packs with only stubs, you can buy stubs, but you definitely don't have to. You earn some of the best cards in the game just by, shockingly, playing …</p>blamppp said:if you could get everything in MUT without spending real world money, nobody would care, the cards/mode would hold no value, it would be the same as REGS.
people gamble for the excitement, people go to vegas to shoot dice & play blackjack, the real world money creates value in the experience/game...... if money wasn't on the line nobody would care.
Re: Great video on the current state of MUT and all EA shenanigans
<p>If you are a money spender in this game, then sure packs can be good for you. There have been some good toppers, but don't you think we are pushing the edge of good toppers again too? </p> <p>Look at the first $100 Harvest bundle. What was the topper the…</p>blamppp said:just read back what you typed to yourself and listen to what you said, your complaint is that EA doesn't specifically cater to you to create a chiefs TT, how would they do that for everybody?
all of these things are a choice? I mean you chose to have a chiefs theme team, if you want better than the free option you probably are going to have to grind like crazy or pay some money, that's just what the mode is, if not play chiefs in REGS.
what packs have I been pulling? how about the legend adrian peterson bundle, $100? pretty much guaranteed a million + coins...... unstoppable bundle, pulled josh allen worth a ton at the time, just pulled deion out the pack that was like $50, and then I had some bad packs as well, but most of the $20-$50 offers in store have been really solid, I mean even the packs they just did with the 88's, the 88's you pulled were worth 40k a peice, that's 320k if you sold them all and it gave you a chance at a high overall million coin card as well that alot of people pulled.
I remember days of many people pulling $100 bundles and getting almost no return on investment, now they all pretty much have a high elite champion type topper w/ them etc when they drop if you buy you get a very solid ROI on that bundle. I'm not sure how that's so bad?
coin packs and re-rolls are bad, yeah, absolutely but who doesn't know that? if you could just coin & re-roll your way to a top tier squad everyone would have one so they have to be that way.
all the stuff people complain about is basically top tier rewards for nothing or as cheap as possible, and if they did that there would be NOTHING to chase, no value in anything, everybody would have everycard and the game would be boring as hell w/ nothing to do. you can only go to 99 then what. they have to use these tactics to make card hold value, certain cards be sought after etc, if everyone could get a 93 gronk & sherman for almost nothing, nobody would care about any card at all and lose interest.
Re: Great video on the current state of MUT and all EA shenanigans
<p>I know I'm back tracking here but I wanted to comment on this one specifically. </p> <p>I think some of this that you said is very well true. Some of the free cards we have gotten have been very good and even great to use this year. You can play the gam…</p>blamppp said:sometimes you have to take a step back and realize, no disrespect but gutfoxx is a gambler addicted to bigger faster strong more more more, just like many others in MUT. He also gets paid to rile you up about MUT and things that aren't true or don't matter, I watch him all the time. nothing wrong with that, but you gotta step back and realize it for what it is.
people are just constantly complaining because they are addicted to the game and want the top #1 player at every position and best possible team for free..... you can easily play mut with a free team and compete I'm doing it right now.
all the streamers complaining about bought packs are full of sh*t... pack odds this year have been better than ever, almost every single time I bought something or did a big bundle etc I've pulled top cards. no you aren't going to get a 93 ray lewis for $20 everytime they drop a pack, but people just complain over & over & over, aww man I wanted that limited for free, awwww man I think I should have pulled the very best card in the game in a cheap pack. like c'mon man, it's nowhere near as bad as people think or say it is, I play everyday, vick, moss, sanders, palo-mao, jason kelce, travis kelce, kyle juszczyk, ronnie lott, jack campbell, eric kendricks, darren woodson, aaron donald 89, josh sweat, jalen ramsey, tariq woolen, 89 michael pierce, all very free and very competitive cards then with the extra rewards from playing alot you can easily fill that team in and have a top tier team "EASILY"........
Stop complaining & crying because you can't compete with a streamer who plays all day and gets paid to do it and outspends you, then gets paid to rile you up so you can watch a video they made that they don't even care about.
people's addiction to this sh*t is driving them crazy.
