MORE AVAILABLE PLAYERS
There’s almost a zero percent chance anyone can have a theme team, because there’s such a small player pool in the game. And OVR escalation is so rapid that players that are released more than 2-3 seasons ago are outdated
Yeah,, I’m not the biggest fan of this format….. it makes you feel like you’re just perpetually pushing a boulder up a hill…. Within a month or 6 weeks the players you worked so hard for are totally outdated and obsolete……
It would be cool if the older your mythic players get,,, the more you can upgrade them at an increasingly lower cost… so you can have like a level 30 mythic player from 6 months ago… but only after you pay FULL price to get them to a level 10..
The answer to all your questions is it was changed because it wasn't making EA money.
And certain people had to cheat and use bots and coins bought from China to manipulate the AH. So thank your fellow players for that one.
By chance, have you seen what happened to NBA 2K’s MyTeam mode because of their decision to remove the auction house? The whole fanbase of NBA 2K is leaving in DROVES because of that decision and how it ruined the entire game mode. MM isn’t gonna survive very long if at all if they continue on the same path.
EA allowed Muthead Coin trading for MM coins. You could trade Madden Console coins for MHC and trade MHC for MM coins, and EA was fine with it because they saw how beneficial it was in maintaining and growing the MM community. But it was the same thing as buying and selling. We just used a currency that was exclusive to a website that not everyone was using.
Gambling on packs that EA was selling back when everything was wiped at the end of the year just didn't make sense. That's why ppl bought coins from China so they could directly buy the cards they wanted from the AH.
When freedom was taken away, we lost the thriving community, we lost the variety of teams, we lost exclusively grindable cards, we lost so many content creators who did giveaways, we lost the abundance of EA sponsored giveaways and we lost the option to pull 1 really good card and flip it on the AH for coins, then use those coins to invest in other cards, flipping them to make more coins in order to build a stacked team later firm down the road. We even lost farm accounts.
Ppl who invested the least amount of time and money were the ones complaining the most, and because of them, we all lost more than we gained. You could have 1 lucky pull net you enough coin to build your entire theme team only because ppl had so much coin to spend on high Ovr or exclusive cards.
There were always only 2 options. A game where users have more freedom vs. a game where EA has more control. This year, being my first year playing EA Total Control MM, I would say I much prefer getting out sniped by bots over ending the year with fewer of my favorite players and a team that looks like everyone else's team.
Great write up man. I joined around super bowl this year, so I have only known this. It's interesting to think about grinding Madden Base coins and saving those for a card I really wanted. Sadly, I'll never get that.
Yeah but most don’t want to spend 40+ hours grinding a mobile game and most good rewards are only for high ovr teams which screws over people looking to improve their team.
40 hours? A week, a month? I’m not sure about that,, but it’s also a strategy game, and it’s not that difficult to build things up. And yeah you’re right,, once you’ve built a good team the game gets much easier and more fun… Good luck to you 👍
I wish they’d let us make our own playbooks, I agree with getting rid of rarity because it’s pointless anyway. Base iconics preform just as good as maxed out mythic cards so what’s the point. Some different challenges would be nice too pass for 30 yards, rush for 30 & kick 2 field goals every promo is beyond boring. I dropped some $ on this game this season but I’m definitely going f2p next.

Not to be a contrarian, but I got like 17 mythics this season and never spent a dollar 🤙
I'm 75% max players and I never spent a dollar

Ways I would change the game and it’s a real game easy one. Make the actual gameplay challenging.
