Guaranteeing presents will be a massive let down

I obviously hope I am wrong, but all the signs are pointing to the fact that presents will be awful this year. Here are the facts:

• This has been probably the least generous EA has ever been, everything we’ve been given is either BND garbage or awful packs.
• We already know what EA values the presents at. A nice present is about the equivalent of 15k. Even a 90 overall they value at 7200 snow.
• We have no TVP or anything that costs training that is actually worth it. Every training pack is complete garbage. Therefore we have nothing to hold the value of training up.

I fully expect the large majority of people who didn’t pull a LTD present (which were ridiculously hard to pull) to be very disappointed tomorrow when the best we get is a bunch of 88 overalls who will be selling for 10k.

I expect to be happy with my presents.

Don’t go by what they value the presents at with snow, it’s just a way to get more money out of you for the 90s and 93s in the store. They are never good deals

you cant use those for references of value and presents were insanely hard to get this year compared to normal so we never know

I am kind of there with you on the presents.  I hope that I am wrong, but the entire setup for the presents reminds me of the jack-o-lantern fiasco with Most Feared, only on a larger scale.  Granted there are much better cards out now, so the packs will have to be better than those, but I expect the majority are just going to be old promo packs with cards that won't be able to even make the roster on a 92-93 OVR team.

This sounds pretty accurate. There's basically 0 chance I'll find any upgrades for my 25 ZC & 25 49ers squad.

I think I got maybe 2 or 3 Lavish presents, a handful of Nice and the rest (out of ~46) are Simple. Oh well, EA are evil and they basically hate all of us in the player base, especially those of us who have found ways to make profit. As always, coins are king... sucks there's absolutely nothing to spend Training on.

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

Hoping for a glitch like last year

if you do look at the quicksell values on the  presents and what they look to be none of it matches up. Lavishes will not be 87+.

Sell them all and buy BNDs then, problem solved

I spent all my snow on 93 ovr zero chills

We're you happy

I had this feeling from the beginning of  the program. This why I only have like 3 lavish presents to open and nothing else. Gifts have gotten worse every year for so many years. Eventually gifts will be nothing but regular packs with 3% odds to get anything even half decent. 
 

I haven’t logged in for about 2 weeks. Still don’t see any reason to. I’ll have those unwrapped gifts till May probably when I log in next. Later everyone ✌️
