They did cut back but Madden still shouldn't even be in the same sentence as The Show.
idk the fact that they haven't updated anything besides minor gameplay changes and horrible commentary feels very EA to me
Feels like they spent more time removing content than the did adding. That's madden.

Can't fault them for going this route. I got every player I wanted, completed every collection, without spending an extra dollar. Had to expect this. Their stub sales couldn't have been that good, last cycle.

I have a feeling we will see additional programs at official launch and when the bears ball season starts. Patience.
So what’d we pay for early access for? To look at the menus?
To have early access and a head start on the base game.
To get bonus packs.
To not have to spend 4 more days avoiding logging into ‘21.

The head start would imply there is something to get a head start on..

Something like a featured program?

It is impossible to be on the same level as Madden cause no company cares as little about their fans as EA

I meant something one could obtain cards, that they want, from in a reasonable amount of time. Like a team affinity program

Also quicksell values were cut big time. I thought they would do this. last year was the year to get all the new Xbox players addicted to the content. Now they can pull the reigns back and push for more stub sales.
The quicksell value change could end up being for the better imo

Way too early to say that, but yesterday's stream definitely gave a bad impression that they're heading down that road. Bad enough that I decided not to order. I may pick it up a few months down the road when it's on sale if I still have the itch.
The worst decision IMO was making the first six FOTF cards you can obtain no choice/no sell. I don't want to grind a program and end up with a card that I have no interest in.
Madden went this route this year, where cards you earn random items that are NCAT. Not auctionable, not tradeable, and you cant even put them in sets. Most rewards you get are random just like those first 6 FOTF packs. One of the worst things Madden did and now EA is copying. Hopefully SDS sees how bad this is and changes it for the next featured program. I always brag on how SDS is so much better than EA but this small change is concerning and makes me worried about the direction SDS is headed.

I'll bet yall a million stubs monthly awards won't be free anymore either.

Is it too late to get a refund????

Jeez, I'll beat SDS up when they made legit [censored] ups but all I'm seeing is a bunch of crybabies making assumptions after seeing the content in EARLY ACCESS. If they don't drop other programs and the future features programs look like this go ahead and panic but considering their track record with content I'm not super worried at the moment.

doesnt bother you that outside of DD they've barely touched a single thing?

I love how they neglected to mention any of these changes in streams. Cause they know once you buy the game you can't get a refund. I'm fuckin so livid

My Theory is that they are building on MTO to eventually use that code to make a new franchise mode, The current franchise mode is old code that is already built up to the point that changing something could break a lot of dependencies it has, Now hopefully they are working on more stuff for the new franchise than just what we see in updates for MTO each year

I would love for them to update franchise but that's besides the point. That isn't what people in this post have been complaining about

I didnt go through every single post in this thread so I can only speak for myself. But the fact that they ignored pretty much everything outside of DD seems like something straight out of the EA playbook. They barely touched DD too, they gave us mini seasons and consolidated the program path, which as of rn looks like there will be less content this year.
Also there are a lot of legends missing from the game that had been in years prior. This worries me that they dont have enough legends to push out the level of content they did last year

Last year at release:
30 earnable ta1 players, 3 ta conquests with hidden rewards, inning program, daily program, over 300 packs to earn. This year, roll all that shitt up into 1 program, take away almost all the packs, and take away almost 3/4 of the earned players.
Game cost the same, packs cost the same, preorder time is the same, servers costing players money
And you: "people are complaining, what crybabies"

Yep, and I stand by the statement. Crying about content during early access when for all we know they could drop more maps and other things the day of actual release is stupid. Like I said earlier, if into the second or third featured program there are still barely any packs then go ahead and panic but doing so during early access to me makes you look like a crybaby
