Bobby Bell. For a position this year with weak coverage stats, he at least gives you a little better coverage (That and he shows up on film) I'm a Bobby Bell Truther.

Nick, you gotta give away some of that 37,000+ in Madden Cash!

Quote from Ailman >> I agree but I can see how easily it can be abused. Someone can just replay 1 stamina events for unlimited TP and XP.  Now here's an actual legitimate concern (I'm not taking the rest of y'all seriously) I would say that there are mechanisms in place to cap things if they chose to (I wouldn't make Training Camp 1 stamina, for example)  Hey, if you feel like a suggestion that would benefit others that aren't you is a bad thing, then this thread isn't for you. But if you're actually open to increasing the player base and making this a healthier game, then this is totally for you.  Incidentally, if you study political theory, you'd know that the United States military is actually funded by taxpayer dollars and is arguably the largest socialist program in the world. Highways/Roads, the Police, the Fire Department, Postal Service (so before we stray too much into political theory, gents, try to speak from an informed place) Also, socialized medicine has paid for eight years of cancer treatment for me (yes, I received treatment quickly, I'm still here, haven't paid for a single thing) so hey, maybe I'm a little partial to benefiting everyone in a general sense.

Quote from mrchach86 >> No 1 stamina for lower tiers. It’s unfair to people who spent their stamina (which isn a premium) to do MS events all year. They encourage you to do these events every day so you investing your stamina and time elsewhere every day since august was foolish on your part. The rewards were clearly laid out since day 1. And are released on a regular schedule. Some of us play and pay to have an advantage over others. I have no interest in helping the weak stay relevant. Give up whatever you do in life besides madden and catch up or fall to the wayside.  “Anyone can hide. Facing up to things, working through them, that’s what makes you strong.”

Quote from Sulaiman23 >> I personally don't like it. Not unless there's something in it for the ppl who grinded to stay up to date.   There's really no money for EA to make on making MS easier for slackers. It would be like making Grand Masters available to obtain for less effort right now compared to the grinds and money spent others went through to get them when they were originally available before. (LTDs anyone?)   They could lower the price or increase the stamina reduction for the 14 day -20% Stamina MS Front Office discount.   Think of it like this. Ppl who skipped MS spent their stamina and time on grinding something else. Something they thought had more value. If they make it easier for those ppl to catch up to those of us who kept up with MS they'd have to also compensate the MS grinders to make up for whatever grinds we sacrificed to grind MS. While we gained Stamina, Gems and Coins slowly grinding each month this change would allow slackers to get the same stamina, gems and coins that we got over the course of months within a single month.

Quote from Apex >> This is an absolutely amazing idea. Its perfect really! Thank you! (Let's hope someone is listening to it lol)

I legit think there's a win/win here. Surely one of the trackers they have is time spent on the app (I mean, if I'm going to advertisers, I want to show people engaging with the product) Well, it's not like any of the lower-tier players will have impact, even on a new player. It's a down-time now that the season is over, this could up your engagement (I mean, there are seasoned veterans out there who have hardly touched MS) It's not like you can finish a player in a day since there are time locks and you will encounter points where you have to play those OD matches over and over to get keys. If you have league mates who are getting a little restless who haven't touched much of MS, this might keep their interest.  That and it IS a grind. If you can get those players up to the higher levels, once they've grinded that far, they won't want to give up, and you can lock them in, instead of people migrating to other games/apps.  If you want engagement, here's a way to do it without hurting your bottom line.

As a player who hasn't spent a lot of the playing time on MS, it's been hilarious catching up a little more during this one-stamina stretch (I know there are players out there who hardly touch the Master Series) I don't need to run over the criticisms of the structure of the program (this isn't a post to talk about keys and timers)    But if you want to encourage participation, it's not the worst idea. The lower-tiered players don't really have value, and this gives people an opportunity to catch up to higher-tiers (and since there are timers in place, or events where you have to play OD over and over just to get key amounts to move on to the next stage, there'll still be a drag that delays progress, which I actually do get) But now that we're in 98 OVR territory, what harm will it cause to make this a permanent thing for lower stages?  If there are new players, and they want to participate in those higher tiers, one look at the grind to get there, and it may be discouraging. If the idea is to keep people attached to their device and be using the app, one-stamina for those lower level players isn't the worst idea.

Quote from bLu >> You have to wait an actual 24 hours to claim it again.   EA should probably add a 24 hours countdown timer to let their players know when to comeback. For real. I thought I did it at 1:00 pm yesterday and it still hasn’t reset (waiting waiting and waiting)
