Last year this site had a pretty comprehensive run-down of what the gifts were going to be before we could even open them. Has any similar leak occurred for the 2018 gift bags and presents?

Yes.

I bought the access pack because either EA worded the "extra tokens" benefit in a tricky fashion or I'm an idiot. I somehow convinced myself that you would get an extra 175 snowflakes each DAY, not for the full week you were buying. Knowing now that it only yields an extra 175 for the entire seven days, I'm not sure it's worth it when you need to get to 5,700 somehow.   My ONLY guesses here is that the presents on the 24th may include tons of snowflakes/snowballs or there are more events or packs coming. It does feel like a cash grab event at the moment.

Has anyone heard what the BF deals might be?

EA is switching ad services and won't have the ad-based stamina option for a while. Instead, starting Saturday, we'll get events to earn stamina (kinda like the NBA Cash event we have available in today's Daily Beats).

Hey guys, has anyone been able to watch ads to get additional stamina today? I had that pop up briefly last night, but didn't use it since I was already at close to 500. It has not returned at all today and a friend who plays says he hasn't gotten it either. Wondering if it's a game change... would suck if we can't get that extra 250 stamina since all these Harvest events cost 50 a pop.

Complete waste... why even hand out rep if we can't use it for anything meaningful? Even my NBA Cash doesn't seem worth using in the store... only time I've spent NBA cash this season was to buy stamina refills to get through a Campaign or move up in Showdown.

Unless Harden is 100% free or I can waste stamina when other events aren't available, I'm not bothering with it.   Same for the last Embiid level-up... I'll play the Get Loose event when I have stamina and nothing else to do, but I'm not wasting more coins or money to get him to 82 when I have 5 centers already rated higher in my lineup or on my bench. ESPECIALLY with the Embiid... we can't even use his elite status as a trade-in for future programs as far as I can tell; it's a pointless card.

Can't even make a three in Showdown right now. They nerf'd the crap out of my team... it's even bleeding into some of the Daily Beats events (Impact and Flashbacks being the worst).

They awarded me my elites the last two weeks after I contacted them. That doesnt make sense to require 1.5M fans. I was top 800 last week barely over 1M.   Where does it say anything about 1.5M fans?
