TD Prep Done - cost 12M coins and a locked binder!

I feel as if I have played madden ultimate team for hundreds of years! 
 

I lost significant interest in the game around late September, but to the reluctance of some, have been unable to emancipate myself from its community. I can understand the need for the grind but once I have removed my own motivations it is something silly to ponder.

Reminds me of when I quit smoking cigarettes and still hung out at the dirty bars. i wonder what else I have been subjecting myself to that has such effect. maybe I don’t even like the taste of coffee

I was reading an article on Madden addiction, the author said it is just a glorified Skinner Box, it's best to just break the wrist and walk away.

Do u ever think existentially — why we force ourselves to run laps on a hamster wheel as if catching our own tails was even a possibility 

12 million is already too many coins. You must look deep within your soul to obtain a level of righteousness that limits your ability to bleed out of your eyes after long durations of staring at a screen. There is no end until you find peace within yourself.   

I have removed myself from the addictive state of mind that left me searching for meaning within the auction house. There are no “new cards and promos” only nameplates on the backs of digital jerseys. Why are you still reading this, I am not even here 👻

cool

How do you go over 1700 cards?  It wont let me go over 1400.

Buy cards with the App. You get locked out of doing anything in game until you get back under the cap.

it will probably be easy as hell to sell in the first few days, cards are going to sell almost as soon as you post them probably, I doubt you have to wait too long.

This.

RIP to the preppers.

not really you still have a pretty good head start on everything....... just have to take a little different approach.

Guys imagine if you spent the money you spend on this game on something like collectibles. Autographed footballs, jerseys, rare items etc.. I'm going that route and am so much happier and content that my money is actually is not being literally wasted and going towards Stuff I can actually sell for real money with the good chance it goes up In price....give it a try, cuz Fu EA they are  quite literally stealing from us!!!!!

Money?  How about that time?!  

I imagine many old folks would give any amount of money to have time back.

MUT is a time drain more than anything.  

Although, It is becoming more common to hear people complain and express regret from how much money they’ve spent.  

The addiction is real.  EA’s devs have done an excellent job manipulating us players and making the game more and more addictive, while gameplay gets worse and worse.

yessir! Exactly! The time is very important to me and a lot playing, missing out on real life things cuz you need to grind these BS challenges and solos etc, just to get crap you can't even use. This is why I'm done with this game, EA has ruined it, given Madden a bad name.

Dang, I tried but I just do not have the patience to be redirected back to the main screen of the companion app every single time I buy a card. I'll try again when I'm off work tomorrow do some prep so I can at least get vincent and jeffrey for the eagles TT. Hopefully make some coins, I was up to 8 million from selling my team before blitz but it's slowly dwindling with buying certain cards and unfortunately some bad investments, but i have 30x 89 overalls for harvest and 15+ 90s for when they are needed in the sets for 93 OVRs.

Let me start off by saying this is my first year playing MUT but have played regs for 20+ years. Typically my son plays MUT but this year he is off at college which doesn’t leave much time for gaming. I figured I would build up a team for him so when he came home on winter break he would be able to play online. I have about 1200 cards in my binder and 3 million coins to go along with an 89 overall team. Figured I would be good for Team Diamonds and winter promo but this past week I login to find my account ban for coin distribution. I don’t buy and definitely don’t sell coins. Just snipe cards and use training for mystery packs. Not sure how EA gets away with this as not much recourse as a customer. I’m moving forward with arbitration but wanted to share this story. Not sure if anyone has had this experience and if so feel free to share the outcome. I’m sure some people will roast me for telling this story but I’m just a dad trying to fix his account so his son can play. Thanks in advance for your advice .

How's the set building going?  I'm personally giving up.

I finished. Probably minus a million coins because EA royally screwed me on golds, no Team Builders, multiple Division players and the insane choice to duplicate some elites and leave out others.  

I have Gurley and Vincent for those million coins plus at least half a million coins I need to clear out of my binder from unused cards (mostly legends). 

Not too shabby…
