Same for me as well. That was huge each day on the Headliners one. I think I only did maybe 1/3 of the solos, but got max level fairly easily with SBs, stats, and a few WL wins. 800 XP in the field pass each day being missed is MASSIVE since most of the awards for certain things are 750. I don't even have Armstead yet! (one level away)

I was late to the game last night and got my 4th pack LITERALLY at the buzzer (if there wasn't a little rant at 11:01 P.M., no token). The 4th pack had the 2nd token for me. Worst case, I would have just had every minute of Friday on to get the 2 and finish with the required 3.

Separate from the good gameplay advice from others on this thread, it certainly helps to have slightly better players, and you can definitely do it being no money spent. Some good coinmaking methods out there, or alternatively you can think of it as building good players for less than buying them on the AH. I think probably 1/3 of my team through 2 weeks was composed of team builder guys that I made for way less than they sell for. Didn't do anything fancy...just sniped 78-79s to make really cheap 80s (you can just buy 80s cheap enough now). And now TB players you can make for probably 24k or so, maybe less. If you target low elite players from promos (legends, campus heroes, etc.) and filter the right way, you don't even have to be that quick on snipes. The other good thing with TB players is that they have glitchy stats...if you go look at them vs. say a core 85 player you'll see what I mean. Tevin Coleman and Dobbins were my 2 running backs until like 3 days ago. Just balled out for me in H2H. If you want good ideas, check out Swift on YouTube. He has methods and free stuff in the game every day just about. Really great content to help you build the team...

Last thing I remembered to do. Great tip! Also, the free Crabtree idea is solid. He doesn't have to start...just be in WR5 slot for it to count. Can do same thing with 80 MLB in MLB4 if easier for people.

It could just be me, but it seems like in SB over the years and this year that if you keep the CPU in the game by halftime (e.g. by going up only 7-0 or 3-0 and chewing clock), that's when the glitchy stuff starts happening in the 2nd half. Or really anytime they are within one score and have the ball, suddenly a Nathan Peterman level QB is ARod slinging it all over the yard. As much as I hate cheesing it, Mid Blitz still seems to contain it. The good news is that since the scoring is kind of irrelevant (just getting wins for the CP), I'm fine bending but not breaking all game. Mostly it just comes down to whether you can score consistently. EA gonna EA when they have the ball...

I've managed to win all of them so far (11 last week to get Legend) and I think 2 so far this week, but they're WAY closer than they should be (I'm just a so-so player, like 10-6 in WL when I play). Went to OT in 1 and won with 2 sec left in another. You can see the little bs plays kicking in...had 2 fumbles late even protecting the ball. Another one where the CPU started with hail mary plays on 1st down with like 25 sec left. And I just KNEW that one was going to deflect to one of their guys in stride. Usered a safety farther back than the cluster pile and sure enough the CPU caught the deflection and I got him down on like the 2, otherwise they would have won on that play. I feel like the same thing happened last year too and then post early patches, it went back to mid blitz and levels sail/inside zone working fine even as the OVRs went up on the CPU teams.

So you did at least 5 of the activities and it's still not granting it? That sucks. I've def done what you did...play one more solo past whatever the 5th box I checked off and that usually triggers it. Don't worry--in this year's MUT someone else probably got 2 Gridiron packs to make up for your 0.

Sports Card Investor on YouTube is pretty good. They post I think every day. Tracks trends in players and certain years/brands. I just got back into it about 2 months ago...learned a bunch since then.

Kwitty Paye. Dude is a freak. I mean it's a DE on day 1 of the game with 87 speed and 88 ACC. Good shed and PR moves too.

I feel your pain on this one! It actually took me into the 4th Q to get this done. What others said below. Ended up getting one on a squib kick/hit stick combo...should have probably gotten 4 more that way, but somehow Cooper Kupp took monster hits like a champ. Turned up strip ball to aggressive and got one on a random pass completion by them.
