Pack Content Frustration

Just here to voice my frustrations. I bought two of the 5850 Combine Packs after going through entire Step Offer. In my mind I was like if I pull any LTD it will go for most coins currently on market to sell, and I can probably make that last till end of Madden year with just recycling players. No surprise to me, not only did I not pull a single LTD, I only pulled (1) 96 out of both sets. It could just be me but out of frustration of this crud going on all Madden year with no luck pack pulling I removed my CC and put my bank card that I normally only use for gas so it has no funds in it. I'm done spending on this game for this year and any to come.

How do so many of y'all get so lucky? The most I've ever pulled out a free pack when it was the newest release was Davon Acchane 88 OVR lolol.

So this is my issue with Packs in general:

If a TOTY SQUAD FANTASY PACK (2,800 Points) contains your choice of "2 of 3 91+ OVR TOTY players and your choice of 1 of 2 95+ OVR TOTY players" don't be surprised to get two-91's (15k each) and one 95 (145k each); this will be the MOST LIKELY outcome.

If you try your luck at one of the "OR" Packs, like the TOTY OPPORTUNITY PACK (3,800 points) you can get "2x 91+ OVR TOTY players, 1x 95+ OVR TOTY player, and 1x 91+ OR 97 OVR TOTY Champ"

Again, don't be surprised if you get two 91s, one 95, and one more 91 instead of the 97; this will be the MOST LIKELY outcome.

EA; just get rid of the "OR" and get rid of the "+" and just let us know exactly what we're paying for.  

Sell us TOTY Fantasy Packs, and TOTY LTD Fantasy Packs at a premium, but stop ripping us off.

If Madden 25 cost $69.99

then $99.99 should give you, at minimum, the choice of ANY card in the game.

If you don't agree, you're part of the problem.

I agree. I was going to comment that on my initial post but it was already too long. If Im spending near 60$ on one pack of like the assurity that I'd at least pull something worth value. A 96 OVR, doesn't need to be a LTD. So many of these pack openings similar to what you just mentioned I'm done spending. If I happen to have any left over money from gas on next year's Madden I might open up a pack or two but for the foreseeable future I'm done lol.

Exactly LMAO

I feel like since your spending real money you should be guaranteed something good 

25$ = guaranteed champion 

50$ = guaranteed LTD

And those packs like example 88+ combine, the + is very small too

yet we obviously know EA wont do it

Even a crappy LTD. Something to help get some coins. Instead we are out here begging while spending real money.

And it’ll bring the absurd LTD prices down 

or just add TVP to bring the price‘s down

Good points here.

$20 should buy you any non-LTD honestly. $99.99 should be an LTD fantasy pack lol. I would never, I think even that is too high.

Part of the issue is I think LTDs are no longer in Combine packs. (could be wrong) I was tempted to try my luck but when I heard that I just stuck to building the ones left I was interested in. The best time to get LTDs IMO is within the day they’re available. I got home late on Thursday so it was just after 5:30 when I did the step packs. 

It seemed like they were throwing DeJeans  at me. 3 Coopers and one each of Von and Chase. Sold all at day one prices. 🤷🏻‍♂️

EA is guaranteed to get the price listed on the Pack, you on the other hand are left crossing your fingers.

It does not cost them anything to guarantee your purchase, and it costs them even less to be transparent.

Agreed 100% but people love spending their money on shit and EA knows it. Why change if people will spend anyway?

Well, they’re obviously hurting for money since they can’t seem to afford people to keep the game running smoothly.
