CT Witten had a bid price of around 5-6 mil for a while, up until a few days ago. I finally decide to get him, get myself over 7 mil, and now he's barely ever on the AH and when he is he's around 10 mil? Also, I'd already sold my Draft Graham to help get him, and now Draft Graham's price has increased too.    Any reason for this? Like, why tight ends specifically are seeing an increase in price?

Bunch spacing is the best option besides toss (and I think even then one isn't inherently better, just comes down to your team and your preferences). The benefit of bunch spacing is that if it isn't countered, you almost have a guaranteed 2-pt, unless you mess something up on your own. I generally step back in the pocket, wait for the o-line to engage the d-line, then scramble in. Some people prefer to QB sneak it in though, so again it's whatever your preference is. If it is countered, sometimes you can still hit scramble and run away quickly enough to have a chance. Even then, you still don't have a good shot, but there have been more than a few times where I've scrambled around the d-line and scored, or even scrambled to way out and found a receiver open in the endzone (but that's really, really rare in my experience).    Hope that helps!    Edit: Also, if you are going to stay with toss, I find that trucking generally is safer than spin move. Spin move has just never been reliable in my experience, because you have to time it right and you might spin out of bounds. Trucking is easier to time and is more straightforward, and especially if you're meeting the defensive player right on the goal line sometimes you don't even need to successfully truck, you just need that extra little bit to get in the endzone

Die hard Pats fan, but I almost never play as them because their uniforms are ugly lol. I usually am the Lions (dad is from Detroit), but I love using Vick cards and have all throughout my Madden career, so whenever I'm using him I'll be whatever team the card is (so I'm currently the Eagles, which is ironic ik lol). Other than that I'll switch around based on random stuff like cool uniform colors, whether I like the team, if my QB is from a certain team, etc.

Gould for days. Better stats, and imo a better boost as well. As others have also said, you can sell Boswell.

I really messed up this position. Should've gotten CH Bruce Smith, but I thought RG3 would be the endgame QB until Vick came out. Unless Chubb's price goes down, I'm stuck with Dent in addition to Strahan. Strahan's stats look nice so I'm hopeful he's good, but I'm honestly underwhelmed with how Dent does.

Quote from zestynoodles21 >> get Conquerers Lynch instead of Barkley, do replay events for coins. Oddly enough the ovr estimator puts Barkley as giving me a higher ovr. Regardless, I already traded in the 115 Lynch for Boss emblems back when I thought I'd only be able to get a few :/ in retrospect I probably would still prefer Lynch, but you live and learn I suppose.

What's the best use of stamina if I want to make as many coins as possible to buy players to potentially boost my ovr to 129? Ovr estimator has me at 128.3 with my projected lineup, and I have about 500k coins in the bank plus some bench players that could get me another 200k or so. I also get 25k a day from the reebok event.    I guess it's two questions really: 1. Best use of stamina and 2. Which players could I get within a certain budget that might boost my ovr?    My team here (replacing UL Brown with Draft Ward, replacing Movers Suh with UL Randle, and adding Boss Strahan when he comes out):

You need another DE in addition to Strahan. Depending on how many replays you have, Cameron Wake is a good bang for your buck option (I'm sure he's also on the AH for not too much). You could also build Richard Dent, but imo he isn't that much of an upgrade over Wake given the differential in cost.    Also, as far as DTs, one thing you could do is try to snipe All-Madden players and build Suh or Williams. I was able to build Suh for under a million this way, given that now the Movers DTs are approaching 2 million in the AH I think it's a good strategy. The problem is that you need to get kind of lucky and get multiple West or North players when you do the trade-in, but again if you're on a budget it's a lot more efficient than building them otherwise.    Beyond that, yeah you need to fully max out your players, switch Rhodes and Jenkins, and honestly you might be better off with SB Jones over Griffin. You already have 2+ SPD with Tomlinson and I've heard Griffin is a defensive liability in H2H (I never played with him so I can't tell you for sure).

It's tough if not impossible to really tell how well your DTs play because you can't watch film, so you don't really know who's picking up sacks and whatnot. That said, not only does Williams have better stats, but one thing to keep in mind is his STR boost is more valuable imo. First because a lot of guys are already maxed out on TKL, especially west guys like Kam, whereas most guys aren't gonna have maxed STR. Also, STR is a more important stat because it applies to both sides of the ball. I know offensive players have TKL as a hidden stat, but really that only applies during interceptions and fumbles, which usually aren't returned for TDs anyways.    I think it's clearly Williams. To be fair, that could just be for my team, so I would look at how many guys you have from the north vs. the west, and look at how many guys aren't maxed on STR vs. TKL, and make the decision based on that.

I haven't played with a lot of the WRs mentioned here, but in my 4 years playing MM Evans has been the best ever at one thing: over the shoulder catches. Can't tell you how many 3rd or 4th and long (I mean LONG - 15+ yards to go) plays I've just bombed it to Evans and he's made a brilliant over the shoulder catch to save the drive. He plays like any other WR on other plays, but he's very reliable when I need him most.
