    Honestly I think packs are the one area that Madden is better than The Show. When I would buy a bundle in Madden, I don’t think I’ve ever gotten less than 600k coins. Whereas in The Show I can’t tell you how many times I buy a 50 pack & pull no diamonds and maybe one or two golds. I have also never pulled a premium round choice in choice packs - And I’m talking since they’ve been around, Not just this year. Maybe I’m just unlucky but I HATE opening packs in DD.

    Yes but Madden juices points packs. No hate for spending money in game, I used to all the time. But I think it’s ridiculous that Madden has two different in game currencies for buying packs, and you can only buy bundles with points, where you HAVE to spend money. You can only get single packs with coins. At least in DD, you can earn stubs and open a bundle with a chase pack. There’s also a lot more ways in DD to earn stubs than earning coins in madden. The only thing I feel Madden does a better job of is rewarding people that spend money on the game. On DD, in my opinion, there’s no benefit to spending money. On madden, there are many benefits.

    Packs/pack cards are not content. They are stub sinks. You can't earn them. You buy them.

    In years past you earned all the available cards in the Topps Now/MA programs. Now you cannot do that since to get all the cards you have buy some (it's too early to tell what % of the cards will be pack only. More than half in Drop 1 but that doesn't mean anything conclusive....yet).

    Oh, and the most important point - Stop comparing SDS to EA or 2K. Compare the Show to prior versions of the Show. Madden, FIFA, NHL, 2K have no bearing on these discussions. Ever.

    @Skarmaen yeah but you don't need the cards in the pack for the Lightning collection.

    I don't think the issue is that the 30k-40k packs exist and the contents may or may not be undesirable. The issue is that they only way to obtain a pack is to purchase it. Do not even offer a pack in the program. It's a lot like when MA awards where in Packs but they weren't Choice Packs. You could only by 5 of them and could end up pulling the same card 5 times, but were required to collect them all in order to complete the program.

    Do the packs add new cards into the game? Yes. Therefore, they are new content. Just because you don’t like how they are earned doesn’t mean they aren’t content. And like I said in my above post. They aren’t perfect, they definitely need to add at least 1 free pack in the reward path. And no cards from the pack are required to complete the program. It’s just added cards.

    SDS, EA, and 2K are all game developers that make sports games with an online card collecting mode, so yes I will continue to compare them and yes, they all do affect each other bc they are trying to get players to play their games over the others. They are competitors. That’s like saying don’t compare Walmart to target.

    I agree the pack needs to be in the reward path, but it’s not a lot like that at all, because none of these cards are required to complete the program. They are just added cards.

    Isn’t that the world we live in. I have a phone app for when I’m sitting in numerous waiting rooms since that seem routine lately and every time I log into the app I see at minimum 3 tabs for ads for to purchase packs for boosters.

    @IrishFist412

    Come on now.... I played Madden a lot and while Madden isn't as bad as its basketball iteration, MLB The Show gives out so many free cards and stubs for grinding. If you wanted free packs you could play mini seasons over and over. Get 40 hits with TA1 players and pitch 25 innings with TA1 pitchers and get 20 packs for free. What other games let you do that I wish MLBTS did was let you trade cards. Losing 10% of a cards value on a sale is something I will never understand.

    @fellspointguy_MLBTS Trading cards would be great. I’ve said this before as well. They have point values after all so it can be done.

    The trending towards stub only packs means potentially they may do a monthly subscription one day. Similar to GTA. $5 a month gets you one of every new pack and 20 packs a month or whatever.

    They have always done this, its the power creep model, as the game builds up more packs will be in programs.

    Worst case scenario, I guess I wouldn't be opposed to that

    Then don’t play lol I’ll repeat this until I’m blue in the face, they should give a pack for free each reward path, but HAVING CARDS EXCLUSIVELY IN PACKS IS GOOD FOR THE GAME

    @Nauracy34 lol [censored] really said “earned” like you can earn them without a CC. It’s not EA, it’s worse, you can literally BUY any card for a dollar value.
