I'm not playing it this year, but I know from past years they dont need huge promos on holidays because they see constantly putting out content daily throughout the week, every week. They don't need a holiday to force them to push garbage out with fancy new animations for each promo to sucker degenerates into forking over thousands of dollars to keep their team competitive. If the model is the same as it has been in the past (and I suspect it is because I still play park and rec and see the ads for promos) they're putting out near double digit number of cards multiple days of the week, every week. EA puts out 5 on Monday (although they just started this), 3-5 usable players on Tuesday, 5 on Wednesday, and 2 LTDs that are almost impossible to pull on Thursdays. And most of all of that is recycled garbage that they copy and paste from the year before. It takes zero planning or forethought. 2K doubles those numbers weekly and that's not including actual yearly/seasonal/event drops.
But, I'm not here to argue. You made this thread with your mind already made up about how you feel, so it's not my job to try convince you otherwise. If you see nothing wrong with how EA is operating, so be it. I have played both games and KNOW which one is objectively more satisfying to play... but to each their own.
