New program has absolutely killed NMS
-
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.

I need a detailed list of reasons as to why this game has killed NMS. You know, evidence?
I have no way of knowing, myself. My Series X is lying to me on when the download is gonna finish. It estimated two hours when I popped the disc in at 24 mbps, but that was two hours ago. I'm already pissed at the game and I haven't even been able to play it yet.

What showdowns could you replay for progress? Other than RIB?
-
"Impossible", you say?
Can we give it at least 16 hours before we make declarative statements like that?
-
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.

Right! Grind is ridiculous...I'd rather Replay Showdown over and over again and call myself NMS.

Last year you could replay a showdowns for each division for team affinity players for program points, now it’s just one showdown that gives you xp ONE time
-
In a few weeks when SDS starts handing out FotF choice packs as rewards in conquest and showdown and on featured program timelines, will anyone come back here and admit they overreacted? Probably not.
This is absolutely no different than the old inning boss structure — you get 1 for free and have buy them other two. But people are acting like this is the end of the freaking world lol

Forgot about the Showdown voucher exchange. Thought you meant the Inning Showdowns.

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.

We're still in early access we have no idea what they will add in the next 4 weeks of this program.
But I realize that preaching patience is futile to those who just want to shout at everyone that the sky is falling.

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.
-
NMS was to easy last year. Now that it is harder this year it makes it more fun.

um... no it doesn't.

Just play the conquest map that rewards 5 packs for beating 3 strongholds. Farm that.

Yeah ease keep this same energy when you lose to everybody who spends crazy money in ranked lol

Absolutely. Now I did just finish, got an error, lost my 5 packs, but I will open up a ticket and move on. Like @SchnauzerFace said, we'll get some free packs at some point as a mea culpa. And... he's right in that half the group will lose their collective minds... "They're not SELLABLE".
I will be fine as a NMS. I'm taking the time to learn the new programs. Adapt or wait until MLB 23.
P.S. I'm guessing MLB 23 will be completed different too.

People would be able to grind more if they didn't make 5 topics comparing SDS to EA on day 1 of early access.

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
