New program has absolutely killed NMS
-
My only gripe is that I grind and grind but my stub count remains pitiful.
Other than that, I don’t mind the changes too much. People who harken back to the salad days of slamming through Showdown to have a day 2 god squad need to remember that Showdown came unto the game 2 years ago and not everyone lived it. It was tedious and kept me from playing games with the team I assembled. As a NMS player, I get the feeling that compared to the wallet warriors I will have to resign myself to always playing with what might be a slightly outdated squad…and if I have skills that will be ok.
Better rewards for mini-seasons would be a welcome exchange in my book.

It hasn’t killed NMS and neither has Madden. Madden just feels less rewarding for the grind and that appears to be the direction here, too, though it is too early to be sure.
In Madden, solo grinding no longer gets you cards that you can sell nor use in your lineups. That isn’t true for this game, yet.
You just haven’t played the game for long if you think this new grind for this program is how things used to be, you used to be able to replay showdowns and grind. They have changed things COMPLETELY.it’s early maybe they will bring something, but replayable showdowns or something needs to come back. Or else you’ll grind for a card that isn’t sellable that you might not even use lol. You grind all that time get an unsellable sean murphy then the program switches.
You're an idiot

now that ive played a bit longer im noticing how bad it is they put it a bunch of stuff into one program and made it harder and longer to level up im pretty sure.. I do like the look of some rewards though conquest and a few other hidden collection gems will hopefully make up for it

I find this comment interesting when last year the main concern people raised was that the program wasn't log enough and people where broad cause the hit the 650k and had like 2 weeks to go before the next program drops.

I feel like everyone forgets that the first few months of the game it’s hard to make stubs, because we all have too many to use by October. I promise by the end of the year, SDS will find away so everyone has 96 mauer and the live series collection done.. Especially once the shark map hits, they put in packs in everything.

It’s just sad to see this game finally go the EA route, they’re killing their player base with this new program setup, they have absolutely made no money spent impossible. This grind is ridiculous, we should be able to replay the showdowns like last year for progress can only play it once now. It’s gonna be nothing but wallet warriors in ranked seasons, hopefully the next program will be different, but the way of this new program layout is HORRIBLE they had no reason to change it, ppl praised this game for the programs and grind 99, they changed their model up and are going the EA route. RIP to what used to be the best ultimate team mode.
Seems to me that the repeatable rewards for conquest and mini seasons will make NMS perfectly possible if you're willing to grind. As long as we get some form of Topps Now, POTM, and All-Star program we'll be fine.
My only concern is the big collections. I'm not worried about being able to have a stacked NMS team, but if the lack of TA makes it impossible to do the collections (because way less free cards) then I'll be upset.

Yeah that was deffinetly never me though maybe im a bit of an outlier. I play 4-5 hours a day alot but more for fun than to grind i didnt even complete half the programs last year only the first few

NMS was to easy last year. Now that it is harder this year it makes it more fun.
Yeah ease keep this same energy when you lose to everybody who spends crazy money in ranked lol
I just never saw the fun in buying all of the high cards early, where's the build up? I like a little grind but not Daniel Nava 4 doubles in a game grind. And I make good money, just seems even more boring to grab them all so early. This is why I stay award from ranked, seasons and all that bs

You know I had repressed that memory and now I'm going to have nightmares again thanks to you

Im finding MTO the best grind right now. About 90k on allstar plus whatever else you earn from each game. A guy on my friends list did it first and already has a boss when I started. If I do it a second time I’ll be at the choice packs

Yeah and if the servers are out it will stack your Xp until it’s online as well which is nice. Im almost glad I had so many wins counted as loses in Mini seasons because tripled my Xp in less time playing MTO. Just no Parallels

Parallels only matter for online really so no big deal

For the life of me, i'll never understand why people buy games that they dont wanna play. If the "grind" is too much, find something else to do. We have 30 days to do the program, it doesnt need to be done in the first 24 hours.

Hey, do you know how the difficulties work on MTO? I notice there are like 3 additional ones. Is Dyanamic lower than Rookie? You've been good at talking me down during this emotional time in the wake of Team Affinity dying and so far I have to say, you're right and I think I may have jumped the gun. There are simply different ways to do it this year that are also fun. Just need to adapt..
Anyway, I'm not the world's greatest player, so what would you reccomend on MTO? Thanks.

I’ll be NMS again this year mostly because it was a lot more fun to play that way. I kinda thought NMS was actually a little too easy in 21’ but thats me. Challenge is a good thing.
That’s fine to make it a challenge, but when you grind nonstop and you end up with a sean fkn murphy that isn’t sellable that you won’t use one bit. That’s a lot of grinding for nothing, and not how this game used to be. Maybe they will add a replayable showdown or something like last year, but as it is this is not a good look for the loyal ppl to this game and how the layout used to be. This new program is not good
Bio - Xbox user who didn't want to splurge on the $50 early access so all of what I have seen has been from others playing
Anything that is repeatable is grindable, so far I have heard of mini seasons and now a 3 stronghold conquest map that sounds like a really good farm.
Have they clearly made it harder for NMS, yes, If I am honest with myself I know NMS was super easy last year, would I love this year to be super easy again, yeah I would, but it is too early to see just how hard they will make it for NMS, and as long as they don't continue to shift away from NMS year by year I think it will still be super viable

Dynamic adjusts as you play, I forgot exactly how it averages out the difficulty when it comes to rewards, just know, in the past if you start on dynamic and change the difficulty mid way, you will get beginner rewards, I would recommend starting on All Star, you can bump up the difficulty or lower the difficulty based on how hard you find it and not get bumped to the beginner rewards, you will be lowered to veteran if you go down.
I personally love MTO, I play mostly if not exclusively as offline for DD, I also am in no rush to get any card as fast as I can, I enjoy the process more than the result.
-
What are the cards that you feel are pay to win ?
I've always been a NMS, playing DD since 1st year and always made all the collections. Some years i got the live series collection done in june/july but last year was too easy. It's never fun to play a game/mode with no challenge.
