Is it just me or have LTDs become pointless in this game. They're cool but don't see the point in cards that 99% of players can't afford.
Am I missing something? I don't buy packs and never will so maybe just as simple as that, but even to try and get these cards it would cost 100s of dollars.

You listed the reason in your rant...these LTD's are simply to encourage more pack sells. We all hate them. Due to LTD's, Champion cards tend to be "meh" with the only real gamechangers being the LTD's.
I have used several of them...I look at it like buying a BMW...I'm not going to buy a new one and eat the deprecation...but...I'll buy a used one. I wait until they dip under 500k(ish) and know worst case I eat 150k in a week or two...or three.

You're not wrong -- the game (just liek most of society) is structured for the top 10% of players, while the rest of us are just supposed to be fortunate to occupy the same spaces as the elites. I dropped some cash this weekend, managed to pull two Stefon Diggs, before finally stumbling into a Lawrence Taylor. That is VERY uncommon, to pull multiple LTDs from the same weekend, seems i got lucky.
Pay to win game mechanics have absolutely zero business being part of any online, H2H, competitive type gaming titles -- Madden seriously needs to go the way of the Fortnite game model, i.e. completely free to play, with cosmetic items being sold on the market. The entire game needs to be rebuilt, from the ground up, which isn't really feasible given the existing, yearly release cadence. If the new owners started now, they could probably have a game ready for 2030 season.

money is nothing.
LTD's have always been for the big pack whales, but I will say its possible as a NMS player. This year alone out of boom or bust packs (the legendary ones from tickets) ive pulled LTD TOTW Caleb who was 3 mill when I pulled and sold and also crystal parsons who I'm keeping to hopefully complete the set when saquon becomes a bit cheaper. They're also great rentals, yk if u buy for 500k or under then you can use the card until he doesn't fit ur team anymore and not have to worry about losing coins bc u can just quicksell
I will buy them for 400 for my TT. I'm always 3 to 4 weeks behind in the game. QS for the 350 when that player gets an upgrade.

THIS.
When you're 350,000 short of a card you really want, those old LTDs are the perfect sacrifice
LTDs are def better than the set cards...but rarely worth the price
Right now... their isn't a huge gap between LTDs and the normal drops.
People usually hope their team doesn't get a LTD beginning of the year.
LTDs don't get discounts till way later in the year, that's when they matter more. Look at last year, Malcolm Jenkins was the only DB to have reinforcement for 1 for a while.
Right now... Cam looks amazing but I'm still rocking Hurts as their is no reason to move off him imo. I'm happy with my 26-3 Gauntlet Record and 5:1 TD-Int Ratio.
They’ve been screwing the Patriots all year so far. Multiple LTDs and TOTW cards that require upgrades. Not to mention making Maye the Team Builders champion for the AFC east. Dugger for free is the only hook up so far and everything else has been nonsense.

Yes, and this is easy enough to sustain perpetually, provided you don't dent your coinstack too badly. You'll frequently hear LTD's used in this way referred to as "rentals": Because they quicksell for coins, you'll always be able to recover a significant percentage of your original cost. In a handful of cases, you can come away with an older LTD for 350,000 coins. Just make sure you're not paying 350,000 for an outdated Redux.

Facts on the redux. I like LTDs also for the reasons you said, and for me...its like finding a 100 bill in the street. In a sense i forget i have him until needed. Ive been WORKING the AH though, was able to flip a warren i bought that was posted under 200k
This is my first time back on MUT in four years. Wish I would have known how fast the value of the top cards drop.
Seems like all you need to do is wait a couple weeks for the card you want to drop in price.
I wasted so many coins chasing Cam on the 53k coin collector packs.
was lucky to at least pull the 89 colts TE and saints 87 edge. Other than that, trash.
