Crystal Chem drama…

Crystals are the most blatant form of pay to win that has ever been in mut.  2.5 mill for +1 speed, 4.5 (?) ish mill for +1 accel, 32 team chems so you can easily keep as a backup on your TT. It’s a massively unfair advantage, and the only tradeoff is you can’t use the latest version of their cards? So what? There are plenty of players to choose from.

As long as you need to put the original crystal cards into the new cards as an upgrade token to get the +1 speed that'd be fine. What I don't want is every single parsons/barkley/surtain card getting crystal chems. Personally I'd like to sell my crystals before their price tanks, and if every single parsons/barkley/surtain card gets a crystals chem, my original crystals become worthless, and I wasted nearly 3 million coins.

Plus 1 SPD on theme team will be locked in al year.

I will still try to sell off when we hits 94-95 speed, at that point I can live with +2 and hopefully recoup most of my coins

Personally I think you should be able to add the crystal card to their newer cards as an upgrade to unlock crystal chem on them....however I think they should only get the team and crystal chem of who they played for....that way every tt can get the crystal boost and people that run the teams of the selected players can still use upgraded carda

I agree with everything you said but the crystals not getting all team chems. I’m also someone who thinks all these random cards getting all team chems is ridiculous. If they don’t get all team chems a majority of tt’s will have 3 spots taken up without team chems. IMO crystals, captains, ranked and gauntlet cards should be the only cards getting all team chems. I like the idea of the power up path for crystal cards so we can use future cards of that player.

I don't know what's worse: Crystal players, or an Auction House that only lets a fraction of the full number of active users get first crack at buying an item before others can get an opportunity. It's frustrating to refresh, refresh, refresh, and then finally realize the item has just been purchased, but I was never going to have a chance at it.

to make things worse there is a website with a "sniper tool" available, so now people are seeing things posted in real time while the rest of us are refreshing random filters blindly. Auction house is no longer the coin maker it used to be. I agree, very frustrating.

I almost quit because of crystals

Lol you. An see real time on mit.gg you still won't see the card in the ah.tho

I don't mind them. I just started MUT last Monday. Only bought the field pass. Once I got an 84 OVR team I took it to H2H and started clapping cheeks except for my first game (which went down to the final drive) against a guy with 91's boosted.

I want to be the underdog and give teams with all these huge boosts a lot of hell. I just came from CFB 26 and went undefeated 4 times in a row, winning four natty's, in Campus Legend tier. So I figured I'd switch to MUT for a new challenge.

I want to make the few cash cows/whales that spend A LOT of money, angry lol. I'm starting players like 86 Calvin Ridley and 85 Adrian Peterson LOL.

They shouldn't of done the crystal cards. Personally think it was a terrible idea. From EAs stand point it makes sense. They made a ton off the step up offers. But being 85s at the time. I don't think they should carry over to newer versions of cards that get released. MUT is supposed to be a team with a mix of players constantly being swapped out for a new and better player/card. The original crystals were awesome for a while. But they ran there course. Time to move on. That just my opinion.

Anyone who has played MUT should understand they will never let you hang onto cards longer than a month or so. You'll constantly need to upgrade and spend. In 24 I remember having to spend on zero chill which dominated for 6 weeks then was obsolete. Same with Superbowl theme. Every year they will figure out a way to make you upgrade constantly if you wanna keep up. There's no magic pill to get around that even if they trick you into believing there is.

I think it's laughable for people who have the crystal cards to complain about EA releasing new versions of said players. You should absolutely not be able to add your current crystals into new versions of the cards. For a +1 speed boost on ANY theme team, there should be some drawback for balance reasons. If you want a permanent advantage over people without crystals, then deal with not being able to use a new version of Micah, Saquon or PS2. Seems pretty fair to me

I’m running a 50/50 theme team that’s an 88 OVR and I have roughly 2.8m coins in the bank and I’m eyeing the first set of crystals.

1. Will the +1 speed be noticeable?

2. Do you think MF pack odds will affect the price for these cards?

I don’t really have a lot else to spend on, though I’m saving up some coins to switch to a Pats TT from my current (meta) Jags team.

EA is about making money! They provide you with Tiers of all levels to buy points! Points that we use to buy packs, those of us that send money on the game! For the NMS players! Let me makes this clear if you are NMS, Then you only paid money for the game, and nothing else! If I want to buy points, then I buy points, I play what I want when I want. I like the +1 speed, and have no intentions of giving that up! Why would I, I spend money on this game, and I look forward to next month's crystal players. Is there a possibility that Barkley, and the new Parson card just be an alternate to crystal card for the NMS players.

Lol maybe saw but Micah isn't for nms

The crystal player step up offers is not for the NMS players. Plain and simple.
