It's like everything else in life... people will always envy others, when they see something they don't or can't have. I spend a little money every year, even though I hate how much of a cash grab the game has become. I don't have as much time to grind the game as the majority of the people I will play in H2H... so I spend on packs to upgrade my team without spending time. I've read recently on here posts like "I can make 100k in 1 hour working the AH" but I can go to work for 1 hour and use that hours pay to buy a bundle and end up with 500k... so I guess time vs money is relative to how much time and extra money you have. It's easier for me to waste $90 on a platinum bundle than it is to grind the game for several hours. This past week I was busy and barely had a chance to play, maybe 3 hours total.... but I bought a platinum bundle and was able to get Tyreek and Gesicki with those coins. There's no way I could keep up and stay competitive in H2H without spending.
I agree I've spent 75 bucks besides the game and have a pretty good team. I'd consider that cheap entertainment. I just went out to dinner and sent $100 in just under 2hrs so I totally get it. Time is money. A few bucks for multiple hours of hopefully fun so cheap. Madden is my least expensive past Time by far
Time is money lmfao yet you waste yours giving your time and money to a trash glitch 3rd grade level intelligence game run by thieves that steal your money and laugh at the “loyalty” of their customers
You are justifying your purchases in your own head by saying people are against "money spent" because they are envious of what they can't have. You truly believe the issue is that NMS don't have the financial means to spend money on the game? For some that's probably true, but it's far more common and likely a personal choice or a personal stance to not do so. Nothing to do with "envy".
You've also used that weird scenario of "I'll work an extra hour instead of grinding" as a money spent justification... are there really that many hourly shift workers that play this game where you literally can "pick up an extra hour of work"? Maybe, but most of us I would assume are salaried (the ones not on disability here of course).
Your closing sentence is exactly what EA wants, can't compete without spending money. You've enabled EA to control your mind and purchasing decisions by brainwashing you to believe this.
Absolutely, it's literally the rest of the sentence. "For some that's probably true, but it's far more common and likely a personal choice or a personal stance to not do so."
I'm acknowledging a very small amount of players are NMS because they don't have the financial means to be otherwise, but for the vast majority of other NMS players it's a choice. Thus, it's not "broke bois", more like people that can make emotionality intelligent choices and control their impulses.
You can go to work for an hour and not play any video game at all. Now you are equating your "worktime" to "gamingtime" which is very fitting. Because EA has conditioned you that you can be better if you work/pay for the add-ons in their game. Sorry you are conditioned. I like a lot of your posts but have to keep it real here.
And no one at all envies you. No one. Most people would say that the whales are gullible. No one envies them. There is no way I would envy someone who need to pay $$$ for a "high" of beating someone because they have a better team.
There is a whole mobile app industry that has war games and the people that pay money... there is almost no way you can beat them. It is the same exact thing.
We all go to work I work 8-5 just like everybody else. You make it sound like we are bums grinding this game. Trust me I could afford to spend hundreds of real $$$ each week but EA in my opinion doesn’t deserve it! They have taken so much from us why give them more $$$ no trade block, companion app, and power ups/power pass are all gone. I miss power up pass. Again I’m not jealous and I don’t hate people who spend $$$. It’s not my job to tell them how to spend their hard earned $$$. If they want to spend it on Mut points so be it. If you have been playing this game for many years you should know how EA has been getting so greedy. Again power up passes are gone, no trade block, bnd rewards, fewer solo challenges/content, no companion app it’s been over a month now, tvps are gone, and pack odds are trash.
Your taking it too personal buddy. I'm generalizing the question of the OP, and yes a lot people are envious over those who spend money in the game. I've been playing since year 1 and can't tell how many times I've seen the exact definition of "envious" through messages in game and also in these forums. I don't care who works and doesn't and I don't care who can afford what or not. I'm sharing my experience with spending money in MUT. I still enjoy the game and I'm gonna spend to compensate for not being able to sit and grind. I'm at level 9 in the season pass and probably have about 16 hours into this year's game total, but I have a good enough team to have fun in H2H. I'm betting you played 16 hours in the last week, so do your NMS and I'm gonna play how I want.
I didn’t take it personal. You took it personal look at what you wrote. Like Norvell telling Deion to take your sunglasses and hat off when you are talking to someone.
I really don't care... my spending isn't going to make any difference to EA either way, and I'm having fun playing. You of all people have no right to argue what I said... you piss and moan constantly about people spending, people benefitting from glitches, your rewards being terrible and others being better, market spiking because others have more coins. You sound like a whiny little brat in at least half your posts. You are a perfect example of mad others spend and have an edge over you.
Again, you have that mentality of "well if I shoplift from Walmart, it doesn't matter, it's just one person" or "If I don't vote for the President, it doesn't matter, it's just one person". For someone that claims to have a college degree, the lack of critical thinking and ability to see beyond yourself is pretty wild. On that note, it also makes no sense that "me of all people have no right to argue" your point... what? People critical of EA can't argue with money spenders?
I sound like a logical person who understands how billion dollar corporations prey on unsuspecting and intellectually stunted consumers such as yourself. I'm not mad, just calling out the fact that you are challenged, and your blindness and addictive tendencies are contributing to the corruption we call MUT. I am in no way mad, more like sad and disappointed that whales like you exist to prop up this monopoly of an NFL game.

broke bois represent!
Lmfaooo the selective quoting cutting off the rest of the statement is exactly what I expect from a resident Ea shill 😭😂
Did I somehow misrepresent what you said? If yes, please let me know in what way because I'm not seeing it

I apologize for the misunderstanding in my comment. My comment was intended to convey that you and I are "broke bois" and we are representing.
I agree that many others just choose to not sink money into this game, which is wise.
You sound envious
