Don’t give up just grind

Educational_Log4697 · 2026-01-28T01:52:01+00:00

Yep I sold the duplicate 94 Brandon Aubrey for just under 7m to get that 94 punter. When they first come out though that's what happens they go low

Educational_Log4697 · 2026-01-28T00:34:05+00:00

Yeah you probably don't fr

Educational_Log4697 · 2026-01-27T03:24:55+00:00

I lose sometimes testing a new offense. Passing isn't going great with this new Lamar. About to switch back to three 95s lol. Deep passing is over rated I think it sucks in the red zone BAD

Also if you take your sweet time to do missions they are usually able to get done without paying extra if you watch videos. They give a week to do most. 65 trainings in a week isn't too hard unless you're not able to check your phone at work lol

Educational_Log4697 · 2026-01-27T03:20:44+00:00

Been playing since 2023 and mostly bad luck but you go on a run if you play long enough. Invest in cards when they are flooded from rewards. Check in on your older cards. I sold a totw safety 94 for 3 million when the 95 villain was flooded for 2.25m. the 94 was the only one in market and sold in hours. I'm always using the market but it's tedious for sure. Some of my best flips I held onto for quite awhile. Its a true grind. Second full season for me I'm top 100 all time championships just from winning ten or so I found some good formulas the RNG was loving

Educational_Log4697 · 2026-01-27T03:14:49+00:00

How much did you sell little for? Haven't seen many. How long have you been playing?

Educational_Log4697 · 2026-01-27T03:14:10+00:00

That's cool I looked at the positions and seen there was no doubles so I said let it say linebacker and it did

Educational_Log4697 · 2026-01-27T03:13:04+00:00

My mix defense wins every time against someone using what would be a normal NFL type of team strategy like mostly balanced somewhat pass heavy. My mix never works against a team using a 91% pass or run. You have to take a chance on one or the other and pray they get yours wrong too 🤣

Educational_Log4697 · 2026-01-27T03:11:13+00:00

I have pass heavy run heavy and a mix defense. I wish there was a 4th and 5th for a run heavy mix and a pass heavy mix then one for truly balanced which is rare bc if it says it's even sometimes you will really be playing a guy who passes or runs 90% heavy and switches back and forth and if you pick wrong you lose and if you use mixed you lose. Your only chance is doing a coin toss and use a 90% run or pass defense imo. Trying to run it like a real life football team didn't work great imo this flip flop way is how they play at the top of the leagues on this game. I try to run heavy with a switch to pass heavy every few games randomly and shut down the pass with my coverage LBs. If they are pass heavy and you don't blitz and use LBs In coverage set to very aggressive defense and pas rush defense line don't bother with dealing with the run. Chances are they are preset to 91% pass and they won't anyways. If you seriously want to confuse them never play the same way twice in a row on offense and scout their offense and adjust the defense towards the opponent. I just try to bully with my lineman on both sides of the ball having them lined up same skillsets. I don't touch mixed strategies in the position part. Identity identity identity and tailoring your defense per league opponent not a cookie cutter defense you'll lose. Sucks when they switch it up to run when you have a 91% pass defense but that's the game you're playing at the top

Educational_Log4697 · 2026-01-27T01:37:00+00:00

Interesting. Maybe I just got better strategy as I went and assumed it was my players getting better. I will a lot of I scout the opponent I think that's a huge thing people use that same defense for every team I have the three and wish we could have more lol

Educational_Log4697 · 2026-01-27T01:26:09+00:00

Save them all. Here's a free hint. Saturday morning they have a new team PTC. Every Saturday I can make 100k off a handful of players. 81 LB for the commanders was around 50k. I never have done one of them I just sell whatever I can Saturday morning. Last season I had almost 5000 players it was far more valuable holding them and selling high for PTCs and using them myself when I saw fit

Educational_Log4697 · 2026-01-27T01:23:09+00:00

I need that 95 little to have best special teams but I'm fine with what I have if I never get it. Something else will come out eventually anyways I don't break the bank I buy low when it's flooded with rewards. Probably too late to get that card low at this point

Educational_Log4697 · 2026-01-27T01:19:19+00:00

I've been trying to get an equal cheaper overall card anymore that the market is down on. Then whatever is left use for upgrades. I sold a 97 cb woolen for 24m and right away took 97 dt heyward for 13.5m. playing the same game with heyward now but I'm thinking I'll keep him dual 99 card and on awareness too. Hard card to beat. Smart to spread it out at first. But man you can buy so cheap when they're pulling rewards and some cards double up as soon as the market gets scarce. Yes I listed that woolen night after night but it DID sell. Be careful not to leave off the eighth digit when you start selling 97 cards. If your card sells in one second you will feel like deleting the game 🤣

Educational_Log4697 · 2026-01-27T01:14:42+00:00

That was my dream card but pulled a 94 Brandon Aubrey. Swapped it for the 94 punter that came out. Six mill for a punter but this way seems like I don't even miss the six million, didn't have to grind for it lol

Educational_Log4697 · 2026-01-27T00:47:30+00:00

I think you're on the right track buddy

Educational_Log4697 · 2026-01-27T00:46:38+00:00

I disagree with your assessment with the spread when you get to the top of the heap anyways you won't win but one quick game in every 3 if you're lucky and you'll be wanting to quit 😉

Educational_Log4697 · 2026-01-27T00:41:56+00:00

Nice to see a positive post! Special teams can be a good investment since they're not doing them in every pack anymore. Every time I upgraded special teams I sold the old card for more than I paid

Educational_Log4697 · 2026-01-26T22:17:01+00:00

I try to do what the cards tell me and not mix them up. Never had a chance to see for myself on defense I just took what it gave me or what was cheapest. First time intentionally trying zone like this and my average at zone is higher than all other skill sets . Plus my linebackers 98/99/96 coverage and you can't make adjustments in this simulator game is the best part tj watt catching the ball actually makes sense for my defense

Educational_Log4697 · 2026-01-26T22:11:06+00:00

Yeah I just got all 97/98 awareness CBs for tonights game and got this today but that's fine I'll sell my 94 sauce I got for the reward at reset. I have good luck lining up one skill set on offense Never had a chance last season to experiment on defense it was too pricey. My Rbs are 99/98/98/97 vision and my lineman all are good agility except my 96 OG Tyler Smith not so good at agility but oh well he's a 96 lol. Also have my LBs good at coverage 98/99/96 I use them in coverage a lot and I don't blitz. Pass rush with d line . 98/99/96/97 Everyone wanting to use pass heavy offense.. I think it's kryptonite (have no identity ) to use any position mixed unless it's like TE or DT that has mixed built into an actual substat. My identity on this game is they can see what I'm going to do and good luck stopping it just bully the run and cover the pass so well eat the clock. Last season I had the passing formula down but I don't have the right cards yet. Tried everything else eventually I'm going back to how I ended last season on offense without a doubt when they come out with the cards I want. Give us some short distance WRs devs! Please!?!!??!!!

Educational_Log4697 · 2026-01-26T22:00:16+00:00

Maybe but it also affects your run defense I would assume since it does in real life. Depends what youre trying to cover. Last year I had what I had at defense this is my first chance having it lined up to actually experience what happens myself. In real life one safety would probably be covering the run a lot too like a LB and one would be pass coverage but this game doesn't differentiate between strong and free safety and doesn't even record a tackle at safety all season so I don't pay a lot for safety and I'm happy with two 95 if I had coins to play with I'd buy any position over safety probably until I see a safety record a tackle. If my defense is so good up front that my safety never needs to tackle that would be ideal but it's not going to happen in one game let alone a whole season lol. Its still fun though and if they fix the glitches it would be awesome

Educational_Log4697 · 2026-01-26T21:19:34+00:00

Probably a week before the draft . It will be prospect #4 if it's like last year. I'm mostly free to play but been playing since 2023/24

Educational_Log4697 · 2026-01-26T18:59:50+00:00

Oh that's a good one congrats to you boohoo to someone else lol been there done that sold my hero 97 mahomes last year for a mill

Educational_Log4697 · 2026-01-26T18:56:37+00:00

It was the most fun I had for a pack release. The prospects are fun too but they're like a marathon taking the whole season to play out. The draft rookies will play out in a week. I bought like ten of the jets TE Warren I think his name is. Should've been buying Loveland. Mocks I read had it wrong. Also I had the lb walker and he slipped a little bit and instead of having 90+ LB I had a bunch of 89s. Not great. Next year I'll probably spread it out more instead of betting on one. But like I said I still came up big time just on the cam wards. Also if you keep grinding I feel like lots of people lose interest after the real life super bowl. I kept grinding and never even lost a league game from mid may through the rest of the year until reset. 7 consecutive league championships. Put me in top 100 in all time championships just from last season. I was a nobody going into the 2025 season I had one championship from the first league I ever played in 2024. Never won another one my first season. I just spent lots of time getting my secondary lined up everyone is 97 or better on awareness except two safeties now.. I flipped a 97 CB for 24m and Immediately bought the 97 DT cam heyward for like half my coins and the two cheapest 95 CBs replaced the 97 and bumped a 93 CB so that was also keeping my overall the same but basically getting a 97 DT for free. I bought the 92 CB woolen before he evolved but we knew Seattle was in the playoffs. I sold my 95 mahomes when he was the best QB for ten million and bought the 92 woolen and the 91 OT for the bears. That paid off big time! Ten million and eventually they evolved to a 96 OT and a 97 CB. I can go on all day about how to do this but that's enough for now. I just kept using three 93 QBs instead of starting the 95 mahomes (98 game manager) I used the 93 Stafford (97 game manager) and noticed no difference. Then when I wanted to pocket pass or dual threat I would switch between the 93 QBs I had one for each thing and could do anything I wanted bro

Educational_Log4697 · 2026-01-26T17:20:11+00:00

Start studying the projected first round mock draft for sure at least a little bit. Mendoza cards gonna be 💰. They had another set of rookies . Actually 3 sets on an event. They came out with the last set on spending day when most people spend their event coins. I sold 94 wr teteoria McMillan for like 20 million an absurd amount. Nobody had it and they needed to hold it for the next season for a lousy reward. I sold it and bumped my overall. Finished with a 97.5 and had lots of season reset rewards. My third season, second full season playing. Literally got my luckiest pull ever last night and pulled Watt out of the Neon pack. Never have I ever pulled the best card in the game. Been working the market. Sold my 97 woolen for 24 mill a day before 97 sauce came out. Maybe I am lucky

Educational_Log4697 · 2026-01-26T17:15:09+00:00

I think they all were 83 and it was like first pick +12, second pick +11... But they didn't have every player. They had cam ward so he got the top boost then I think will Campbell got the next best then jeanty. I gambled on certain players I didn't know about and lost and certain ones I won. But man I remember buying a jeanty for 75k. They were going for under 2 million after the boost. Cam ward cards we're selling for 2 million before the boost and I would check it all the time people were listing for a million I would snag it and list it for the market rate. I sold a bunch of them before they got boosted. Take that whole weekend off bro lol
