My take away from it all…very weak Blitz reveal. More noticeable to me was the move of final AKA to Wednesday. To me, that move is to stay away from Cyber Monday deals and let people’s bank accounts settle a bit before rolling out ”potentially” one of the bigger reveals of the year with final AKA. Just a feeling. EA is fueled by greed. Every decision is made to make them the most money….nothing else. Seems the idea was to create market turmoil and gouge as hard as possible then turn right around and do it again. This follows the pattern this year as well. May get “Meast” next Wednesday. They may not be waiting till ZC.

My guess is that it was moved because they have minimal staff working Thursday and Friday, and launching AKA on Monday would have been difficult, especially with the Blitz stuff. Having it come out on Wednesday gives them Monday and Tuesday to work on it.
I work in marketing and launching anything digitally takes resources that disappear for the holidays.
But, it's EA - and money very well could be the motive behind the delay.

It sucks, the only card i want from this promo is NTL.
Also is very shitty that you can have the first 94 player (Deion) since 2 weeks ago or more, and that no other 94 players had been release so far.

You missed the point. They could care about the quality of the game and actual football side of things and make decisions based on both that and money to make. They don’t. It’s only about money.

Again, thats any corp... and insurance. They dont actually care about you. Its just enough to make sure it keeps people satisfied enough to keep playing and paying.
Its been that way since mid 2000s when gaming became a money thing (and more and more so over the years) versus the game experience.

This is far worse than mid sadly. This is an epic fail. From someone who has been thru every single Blitz promo this is the single worst one.

If the offers are good and the market comes way down, it's a W in my book. Id add smith and ntl too if the price is right
