While I do acknowledge that solo battles being down for the length they were with no updates from EA was complete BS, they announced earlier this morning that x3 CP is being awarded for solo battle objectives this week. So, they are doing something ... I would recommend follow their Twitter handle for updates.

52/50 Raiders, playing a pure theme. It's got enough solid pieces to do fine in MUT Champs. I am looking forward to whenever a new QB comes along, Mariota is serviceable but not great.

Think I saw someone earlier today get to the legend player in the pass and it gives a pack now instead of a player, so you can save it for the right day.

Kinda funny that the year that Carr is gone, the Raiders finally have a defense that actually puts in a little effort. Carr hasn't really shown that having a good defense backing him is the solution to his tendencies though. His passes were either a checkdown to Kamara or throwing up Madden-like 50:50 balls to his receivers. That Moreau drop was pretty bad though, you don't want to to put yourself at a point in a game where you have to rely on a TD in the final seconds to tie/potentially win but it is what it is.

Stabler. Raider theme is in dire need of QB, Mariota is serviceable but not great

I've definitely cut down on playing a fair amount. Lately it's mainly been hoping on throughout the week to do the daily and maybe some progress on whatever few promo solos are out, with a field pass stat session on either Friday or Saturday to knock out objectives in solo battles and MUT Champs. Beyond that, other games have held my interest far better.

Dudes can spend as they want, I'm not going to pocket watch when content creators are going to make money back from what they do, and normal people that spend could very well be in the boat of choosing to spend because it makes more sense to work for a few hours to pay for packs than grind for many more hours for the same result. I will say, we gotta stop call these store pack situations "glitches". A glitch implies that it's something the player can do that is likely to the detriment of the game/developer. EA is FEASTING on this these moments when people are given a window of opportunity to buy buy buy. It happens way too much to be put purely on EA incompetence, even with their reputation of being less than stellar at their jobs.

It was especially bad for the UK solos, I had to go through 5 or 6 game reboots after completing a set of those. Really hoping they can patch out that issue in the next patch.

Since it was a more long-term grind compared to Terrell, it was definitely an easier top 1000 grab. I was rushing to complete objectives after work on Friday and was surprised that I ended up with somewhere around #320ish.

Because perceived superiority over an opponent based on their play or habits is a hallmark of online play. There are a lot of people who get their rocks off on that. While playing compared to spending does have different weights of support towards the company, engagement by the players that trash players who spend money is contributing towards the company seeing what they are doing as a success. We're all contributing to EA shenanigans the second you boot up the game, so either come to terms with it or stop playing.
