You'd think that EA would want it's player base to know what this promo does exactly. How it will work in 24 not being known, could be putting people off investing time and possibly money. Keeping the specifics quiet this close to M24s release seems silly to me and would lead me to think the worst of it. You want people to know what they are going to get as a loyalty reward for sticking with it all.

What's with all the 49ers (eligible) SS? I feel like there's about ten of them up and around the 99 mark. I'm sure other teams are massively overloaded at one position too.

Looks like I'm about 16.5m short then. Ah well, I'm not too fussed this year. Normally I'd be trying to get as many as possible, but there's no real point as I won't be getting M24. I have no interest in it and can't afford it. I hope you all get as many as you need/want though and have fun with them all, this year and next.

Well written and great points. I haven't experienced most of what you mention due to not playing online. This is partly as I am crap and don't want to waste people's time (not afraid of getting my backside kicked, doesn't bother me). But is mostly as I really can't be bothered dealing with most of the things you mention in your post. Petty immaturity and outright cheating, with little to no consequence. I hope you and the rest of the community get answers and that from '24 onwards, things change for the better. EA definitely needs to improve and make some big changes at risk of losing a massive chunk of its loyal fan base. This would be a shame for everyone involved. I'm going to try and avoid getting Madden in any form (including EA Play/PS+) until maybe '26. Maybe even never if 2k NFL ever comes out and is any good and not 'micro' transaction reliant.

I generally start when I realise it's on EA Play, around March kinda time. I'm getting bored though even now. I might even skip next year completely. With the new PS Plus (middle tier) and all the 'free' games I can play that I could never afford to, for pretty much the price of one game a year, I have so many other things I could spend my very limited time on that I'd otherwise likely never get to play. I love the NFL and everything, but Madden and MUT has run its course for me I think. At the least I need a break for a year or so. Just have to stay strong and say 'No!' when it pops up next Feb/Mar time. Shame really 😞

I had the same issue on the Auction House last night, nearly bought two of the same card before I realised. Also doing the UL solos was a chore. Each time I tried to start one it would say access denied about three or four times before starting. Seems okay now though. Must have just been a temporary issue.

I'm not going to get the other 25 or even 10 Solo Battles done that I need to and I'm not playing H2H or whatever else it wants. So I think I'm about 8500xp away. By my reckoning with 800 daily xp and 11 days left, I should hopefully get him on the last day. If not then I'm not fussed. I'm getting a bit bored now.

I don't play online due to being absolutely useless and not wanting to waste anyone's time (people could easily score 25 TDs on me in a couple of games, even if I was trying to stop them!). I just worked out that IF I manage to find the time to grind through the Solo Battles stuff this weekend, then I will still have six days of the Daily Challenge XP to get Mr Thomas. Probably my fault for staying away from previous week's Solo Battles, I've just had enough of them and needed a break. Just been doing the TT Remix and UL challenges, then doing the Brock Purdy Draft Challenge a few times to get my daily challenge done. Bare minimum at the moment. Good job I'm not impatient.

So the only Ltds that give you anything other than just all team's chems, are the first two weeks ones excluding Asante Jr? Saved me wasting some coins there, I'm sorry for your losses, but thanks for taking one for the team, people. The boosts and bonuses on cards could do with a little better transparency and communication. But then again so could most of MUT.

So what do we get with the limiteds in terms of chemistry. As some of them seem to get All Teams only, some get the three groups of stats boosts options and some of them have seperate individual little boosts and All Teams. Just wondering who I should waste my coins on, can't afford all of them. Also, once again it seems they have wasted options on a lot of teams. As a Niners fan with a Niners Theme Team, I am disappointed that we have had Kittle and Bosa in two consecutive weeks (both with 98 TOTY cards at blue 99) whose new cards stats fully boosted are worse than their 98 counterparts. I'm sure other players are experiencing the same with their team's guys. Ah well.
