Absolutely this

It's not much but its good honest work

That's what I thought too - just figured I would share since there have been quite a few forum posts about getting to 99.  Also, I have heard a few of the others floating around aren't 100% accurate.   Use whichever gives you the best results I guess!

Hi y'all - saw a few people asking about how to hit 99 and thought I'd share my calculator which has been accurate for me all season.  Link below is to a google doc where you can download and input your own squad, I included 2 scenarios that work.  All you do to update the calculation is change the numbers in the "OVR" in columns C/H.   Here's to prove it works - user @themarksman13 linked his team (https://www.muthead.com/18/team-builder/945534) showing his lineup that sits at 99 in game. I entered his players into my calculator and it also came out to 99.  The file has his squad's numbers in there at the moment.   Apologies I'm putting this up with less than 2 months until the game truly dies but this might help grinders like me that want to validate the time spent on this game and hit a true 99.  If you think you have better weighting or found an anomaly in-game that my calculator misses feel free to repost or let me know and I can make edits.  There are a few more thoughts below but go try it out for yourself.

I would definitely say a lot of play outcomes feel determined animations, and overabundance of fumbles is likely related.  I bet a lot of it has to do with it being the first year on Frostbite.  I play FIFA as well and their second year was better on Frostbite than the first so hopefully Madden gets better.   Mostly grind solos because I'm a noob.  My big gripes are things that waste my time more than make the game difficult like: - Clock continuing to run when you purposefully run out of bounds - Trying to run for 3-4 yards to burn the clock and a tackling stumble animation makes your HB trip forward 15 yards - Scripted FG blocks/Blocks stop working after 3-4 tries - Linemen ignoring LBs/CBs on screens - CPU calling timeouts when down by 17 with 30 seconds left in the game

Sweet, just wanted to make sure before potentially wasting my free GT

Since its the upgraded OOP card I can both use him and UL Calvin in the starting lineup, correct?   Loyalty GT set gave me Pryor, Quincy Wilson, and Calvin. If I can't use both Calvins I'll probably go with Wilson.   Thanks y'all

Disney World for a week and out before the tropical storm!     I'd trade my entire MUT progress for that week again so I really have nothing to complain about haha

That's what I'm hoping for, but I have high hopes for the packs at level 51/52.  For some reason I'm optimistic EA will drop a movers-type promo soon.    The Draft was like a month ago and I can't imagine GT creation takes up much of their time.
