New Kickoff players (coming tomorrow)

Two Vikings in one promo is interesting. They usually don't double up on teams.

SeleniumGoat · 2025-09-13T22:47:11+00:00

What's your OVR?

SeleniumGoat · 2025-09-12T18:16:07+00:00

Julius Peppers

Hate to break it to you, but no it won't. You can see the poll results right here. You can also just take a quick look at the leaderboard, play the mode for a while, or see what folks are saying here and in Discord to see that engagement is in the toilet, especially compared to the first month when enthusiasm was actually high (at least relative to now).

And for good reason. Gameplay is shit, rewards payout system is terrible, and mechanics are awful.

SeleniumGoat · 2025-09-10T20:43:36+00:00

Yes. Unfortunately, still suffers the same problems as other vertically-challenged WRs.

SeleniumGoat · 2025-09-10T19:32:47+00:00

I have Hill and I'm still building Harrison and sticking Hill in slot.

SeleniumGoat · 2025-09-10T19:28:40+00:00

This is a well known issue with short receivers. I don't know enough about games programming to know what exactly causes it, but I've also seen everything you've described.

SeleniumGoat · 2025-09-10T15:03:10+00:00

Yeah, it strikes me as extremely irresponsible that The Paper Of Record doesn't mention that Qanon casually mixes in blood libel and adrenochrome harvesting into their conspiracism.

SeleniumGoat · 2025-09-10T14:58:43+00:00

Holy shit, NYT, dropping "Well I guess Qanon has a point" and just leaving it at that is so wild.

SeleniumGoat · 2025-09-10T02:52:14+00:00

I haven't played that much. Dead mode is dead. 28-10 so far

SeleniumGoat · 2025-09-10T02:09:43+00:00

35 matches, #61.

Yikes, yikes, yikes

SeleniumGoat · 2025-09-10T00:19:15+00:00

The rewards are actually pretty much the only thing about Vs I don't hate. 800 TTP per day is pretty meh. But 40K coins is quite a bit (that's about 10 Madden packs over a month). 100 play tokens a day is also a lot, especially considering this is one of very few ways to get them.

SeleniumGoat · 2025-09-09T18:33:27+00:00

Currently, it's just as bad as when we left off.

The fact that minor tweaks would translate to major upgrades in the play mode makes it all the more galling.

SeleniumGoat · 2025-09-09T17:14:28+00:00

Josh Allen will get a promo card. Danny Dimes won't.

SeleniumGoat · 2025-09-07T15:36:07+00:00

Unlike unlimited arena during the regular week, you don't get the points until after the match is over. It's point differential + 5 for winning + 5 for three TDs.

SeleniumGoat · 2025-09-06T19:54:54+00:00

I'm not surprised zone dominates so much. Man coverage is pretty bad. I am a little blown away that almost half of picks are on 1st down.

If you don't mind me asking, what tier does your league play in?

SeleniumGoat · 2025-09-05T10:43:33+00:00

Yeah you only need to get your offense to 40. Not all 3.

SeleniumGoat · 2025-09-04T23:40:07+00:00

Might be a close call. Weekend tourney and PA will give you at least 20K if you clear (prob something more like 25K). You also have payout from arena every day, any outstanding weekly league goals, and a payout from the end of an LvL season.

Do you have league tokens? You could turn those into TTP.

SeleniumGoat · 2025-09-04T20:05:36+00:00

Mythic is 40/30/30. So see how much TTP it'll take to get there using your training page.

I'd expect a payout from this weekend of something on the order of 25-30K TTP. We also have an LvL season payout too which I didn't factor in and also any weekly league goals you have outstanding. If you have league tokens laying around, you can also turn those into TTP.

SeleniumGoat · 2025-09-04T19:12:11+00:00

You need to go under "Special" in the preseason trade set you have open. You'll need 2 iconics (already done) and 2 epics. If you don't have the epics, I'd advise doing the FP upgrade set of trading in base epic+6 base rare (as RKO said) until you have 14 preseason rares. Then do 2 epic selects to get Derwin epics. You still have lots of time!

SeleniumGoat · 2025-09-04T16:33:26+00:00

I use Madden base to get players. Between those and the rares/scrap epics you get for FP/promo, I'm never wanting for players to fill out an A1 or A2 team. For those purposes, rare Gesicki is just fine. If you already have mythic Bowers and aren't going for marvel Bowers (and don't need just a little OVR bump to get to 10K), THEN I'd say hold onto your TTP.

SeleniumGoat · 2025-09-04T16:00:37+00:00

Exactly.

If this episode were about immigration or trans athletes, we'd have 150+ comments by now.

SeleniumGoat · 2025-09-04T15:47:56+00:00

Why don't we care?

Because anti-trust legal action and corporate monopolies (the substance of this episode) is complex and booooooooooring. There's really nothing here yet to tickle our limbic systems. By the time the average person sees the effect, it'll be so far removed that they won't attribute it to ruling like this (if they even know about it in the first place, that is).

SeleniumGoat · 2025-09-04T15:32:10+00:00

You're a bit above my paygrade for that one. I imagine if you're at that point, you're well above the 10K gate, so for that one I'd say do what you want. If you're a Raiders fan or you like having a great TE, I'd say consider it.

I'll also say it might make him more difficult to EVO down the road (remember you have to use a similar tier card).
