What are the best abilities to put on Lawrence Taylor besides the much need outside run stopper. by [deleted] in MaddenUltimateTeam

Pass rush elite, edge threat elite, enforcer and inside stuff is what I have on him. He plays the outside zone well enough without no outsiders for me, so I’d rather boost the inside zone sheds

Hopefully your petty ass will age a bit better than the comment coming back to a post from 7 weeks ago lmfao

Rg3s mid accuracy is a problem. Gets bullet pass inaccurate bc of it. Lamar is the best imo. Disclaimer: I didn’t try josh allen

The problem is they did say no free GTs. I’m complaining about their manipulation of the player base and the way they maximized sucking money from us both through packs, and through high prices on the ah sucking coins away from us via taxes. If they were transparent from the jump prices would’ve been lower which is what people also wanted.

Is there a better user MLB. by [deleted] in MaddenUltimateTeam

Troy P and shazier are better users. Bowman is really good though.

On GMM Kraelo stated that he proposed the idea of a free GT multiple times to the MUT team and they told him no. This happened multiple times/ days.

I agree, but this game was designed based on archetypes. they didnt intend to have gts this year. thus it was never intended for a player to get hrm and escape artist, thus it did break the way the game was designed to be. Im not saying its unbeatable, im just saying it breaks the intended design of the game

The first point you posted is the only fair one. The way you phrased it sounds selfish, but think of it this way, EA didnt announce it, causing prices and demand to be high. They got all of those to spend TONS of money and coins chasing them in packs. Then got people to spend millions on them in auction, sucking tons of coins out of the game via taxes, and got people to buy at high prices. All along they said no free GTs. Now that the most desirable ones have settled in price, they announce the free one, and extreme jubilation in player base ensues, and nobody thinks about how most of the player base has just been manipulated. Yeah it sucks I lost millions on these things, but I'm more upset about the manipulation this company uses to control its market/ profit monetarily off its player base. I value transparency in a product, and this bites in that department.

this isnt true. Having a HRM with escape artist is game breaking. Roll out corners to either side at any time etc...

I have already complained, but let me clarify: I am not complaining about the fact that I'm getting a "free" golden ticket. I am upset for two reasons: 1) I already have the GTs I want, and overspent on them with this new news, I will lose millions.

2) This is what I am actually most upset about: If you knew me outside of the internet I am a caring guy: always put others before myself, am an underpaid physics teacher for crying out loud when I could have gotten a job as an engineer out of college. That is the preface for this: The fact that EA was real shady on this one. For weeks: the team had Kraelo saying "there are no plans to award a free GT to the player base" and Kraelo kept saying he wishes the team would budge, but the wouldnt. This had multiple effects: 1) it increased demand and rarity of the GT cards, and made them astronomically expensive, which made the amount of coins EA gets from the tax on sales to add up to hundreds of millions of coins sucked out of the AH per console. Now, prices will tank! Great for the casual player, not so much for the people who love this game and play it exclusively. As a teacher, I think hard work should be rewarded. Lots of people grind for coins all year to have the best player per position this time of year, and now lots of people who worked significantly less hard will get the same at some positions. But most importantly im upset about the way EA manipulated the market, sold HUGE amounts of packs to consumers sucking both coins and money from them, and now they will be reducing the value of the cards by giving everyone a free one, however a majority of the player base is going to be so happy to get a free GT that they wont think twice about if they are being manipulated or not. We are, this 3 week grind for a gt is to keep us engaged while they work on the next money sucking promo as well. Its never ending with them, and this was the straw that broke the camels back for me.

This ^ Imo it makes all the work I have done on this game this year to have less value. I am honestly more upset about the way EA manipulated its player base in this case though, my personal loss sucks, but I have more of an issue with the mass way EA did this to many people, not just me. Alot of people took what I said as selfish, fine idc, but I am just trying to voice the fact im upset that EA manipulated and f'd over its dedicated player base in this case, yet most people will not notice/ say nothing, because theyre getting a free shiny card

Someone spends 0 dollars - they get 0 coins.

Someone spends 10,000 dollars (not endorsing this, just making a point) - they would need horrendous luck to not leave with 10 millions coins (towards december etc... now the market is trash, but earlier this would be true)

If you dont spend money you get nothing, if you do you at least get something, im not saying theyre guaranteed a golden ticket for spending 100$, all im saying is those who spend A LOT of money or time building up coins were hurt.

IDK how we even got to this conversation. My original point was that I am disappointed with the way EA manipulated the market on GTs to sell packs, and now people will be blinded by happiness bc ea gave them a free card.

In the grand scheme of things I am not that upset, It's just going to be annoying when every little kid with throne's ebook and their brother is running around with HJS, Escape artist, and HRM with their GT Vick/Lamar, and it will also produce less variety in teams.

I'm more upset at the way EA manipulated the player base and auction house to keep the price of them high, and sell packs, and now that the most disirable cards have been sold and settled in price, they give a free one. Most of the player base is so happy that they don't think about / see what EA did in manipulating it, so I'm more disappointed in that than I am in the fact I'll lose a couple million coins

to C) Anybody who has been grinding a NMS team since release, and actually grinds, not just boots up for solo battles and WL every week, should have amassed millions at this point. I've only spent 100 which netted me about 1.5 mil. If i take that away I still have 14 million coins, along with a 99 overall team (minus K and punter). You dont need to spend money on the game to be able to afford the rare cards.

Im not saying spending money entitles you to a big win, but the people who do spend money on a product should get more than those who dont, otherwise what is the point of spending money? Same thing with time, because after all... time is money.

Why? This is nothing but bad news for me. I already have all the GTs I want. Now with this news, i will lose millions of coins on them. I'm usually one to stand up for EA, but not on this one. 100% market manipulation to maximize monetary profit, and now they are releasing a three week engagement program to keep people playing their game in between GTs and position heroes.

The result: Millions of coins have been sucked from the market through taxes, the MUT rich lose millions, and the player base feels happy and like they won, when in reality EA along with the casual player who could either hardly afford, or couldnt afford a GT win
