I miss the days of solos giving you a promo card as a reward

You always went into a promo knowing you could earn a good player, now we just get a set piece and every player is like 500k. The greed in this game is off the charts this year and it takes all enjoyment out of it. I’ve done nothing but TOTW and legend solos for the last 4 weeks and to be honest I’m done with that now as well. FIFA, whilst I do not prefer the sport, is a way better game that’s way more fun and that’s where I’ve been spending my time.

Speed isn’t the same this year, taller slower players are actually better. They’ve done a good job balancing it this year.

yeah i hate the fact that you can’t get a good promo card from most solos. really annoying for a person that only played challenges and H2H, i’m now having to do solo battles and other not fun stuff. probably going to make the switch to 2k after christmas and see how it is in comparison

I think I’m done with Madden for good now, it’s just not enjoyable anymore. I’ll give the college game a go when it drops, mainly for the playbooks but if they screw up the Army playbook I expect that will be it. for the moment I am getting way more fun out of FIFA.

Yeah I feel like the past couple years we would get like 2 out of three or 3 out of 4 of the players needed to make a Master from Solos/HR. It made the path a lot easier for a solo grinder/offline player to get at least one top player from each promo. 
 

I honestly get so bored playing solos anymore that most of the time I don’t do them even if there is a reward. My playing time is limited and I prefer to spend it playing H2H games.

I definitely dont grind the game like i used to but usually most of the rewards dont mean anything to me cause im a rams theme team, so unless there’s a high ovr rams card in the program then im really just like whatever about it

After thinking about this a little more I guess they are giving a 90 MF through the Pass and another 90 MF in House Rules. Assuming these go into the sets I guess it’s pretty similar to the last couple years. 
 

Also we did get the 4 free MF players that upgrade to 89 and they’re all pretty good once you get them upgraded/boosted which is relatively easy.

I was just curious how it was in the past and looked up Most feared from like 2019.  You got a Nat 90 boss from complete all the solo sequence.  Then if you won 75 house rules you got another NAT 90.  I remember these being a full time grind almost having to decide to do Weekend league or house rules.   You also got random packs., probably the equivalent of like the 85+ we get in totw.   it took 10 bosses to get the master.   So idk I def remember getting a lot more and my team would always skyrocket at each seasonal promo, but maybe it wasnt as much as I remembered.

You get the same if  not more, you just get them differently now.   

yes they got more greedy so now it’s more a grind but the issues stemmed when they made regular cards NAT then NCAT. That’s the real culprit. So then  where you got lower level set pieces and still had to make a set, you’re getting more current cards at everything but master level.
