I don't think the collection of postseason promos are all that bad. I will agree that player selection/player builds aren't super exciting. And i'm still upset that there's no grindable path to a fat suit Odell but he is a past player. And EA still has to hold something close to the cuff for profit. And while on the subject of profit, I will admit that I am a huge fan of field passes. I was always F2P and this season I have bought several field passes. They are a great value. I could never see myself spending $75-$100 in MC on one pack but $30 that grants you more content, guarantees two decent cards, just about guarantees a master, grants a ton of bonuses, including players that help other grinds, and gives you the equivalent value in MC back...... is a great value! And i'm to stage 3 of the gauntlet and no OD yet. I've nearly completed a season, 45 second quarters. You can't tell me that isn't in direct response to our complaints.
Back to the aspects of these promos that don't take cash oe gems. The brought the playoff blitz back even though I don't think they intended on it actually being around for the duration, just the sets. The grind isn't hard. I've taken multiple full days away from the game (which everyone should do) and still have enough currensy for a playoff master, a TOTW master, and a phenoms master. Again, I don't think many people, myself included, are super excited about these players but what do you expect? They had a pool of 12 teams to choose from. Some will say piggy backing on phenoms and TOTW is lazy but just the same, others will applaud getting rid of all the phenom and TOTW currensy sitting on their bench that will become worthless in a couple weeks. I just think we're giving this promo a bad rap.
