If you are confused by the conflicting advice you're getting, it's because EA jumped the shark and changed all the rules for solo battles today.    They also changed the rules for football while they were at it.  Awarding 4 points for a short TD, 11 points for a long TD.   Other changes?  Possibly.  Battle scores seem to be based on the old algorithm but since the rules and scoring aren't posted anywhere, this week is a total cr@p shoot.

On Good Morning Madden, the announcer said that no one was in the office today because of the holiday. Most likely , no one is working on anything.

Bundled rewards seem to me to be a solution searching for a problem. What are your thoughts?   I don't like them because -       Career rewards and other long-term rewards are bundled with current rewards.  You don't know what you've won.       They make it harder to separate AH returns from challenge rewards.       Given EA's current problems, I don't trust them to get the math right.

The purpose of sets like the NTL set, from EA's perspective, is to get cards off of the market and slow the market decline.  Cheap cards translate into fewer store sales.  If you could QS the tokens that would defeat EA's end objective.     It's my opinion that most people don't do the math before starting sets.  There are rare opportunities and MUTheads will brag about what they made on completing a set but you won't hear from the majority who lose coin.  Getting people to spend 6+ hours and 4M+ coin to get one card, shows how good EA is at getting people to chase a shiny new object.

Yes.  The market will keep crashing with minor bump ups along the way.     Cards decrease in value and coin increases in value over the year.  That's the way it's always been and will always be because that's the way EA has designed the game.    EA put together a perfect storm in Madden 19 that allowed you to go from start to 98 OVR in less than a week.  So you can grind and spend all year or wait until June.  It all depends on what you're looking for and why you play the game.

Finished a game and got a 0 point DNF but XP was credited.    Came back 3 hours later and the game points were displayed but they were not added to my total.   The game card still reads DNF with the points displayed above the DNF.

Okay - decided to do a spreadsheet.  Prices current as of 7PM ET 2/7/20   The price to build NTL at this moment is 20,531,200 coins.     A couple surprising things to come out of this.   1. People are buying these lower tier weird players so they must be trying to complete the set. 2. Some of the worst teams have the highest prices for cards right now.  Probably because they are rare.    The average cost for a single set was 641,600 coins.

McCaffrey is a specialty back with the best CTH of any back, high ELU and high AGI and decent speed.  If your playbook has the right plays, he can make excellent catches for big yards.  But he is not a bread and butter runner.     EA changed route running from Madden 19 to Madden 20.  He was my go-to back out of Level Sail for a guaranteed first down in Madden 19.  Madden 20 - not happening.  However, he has scored several rushing TD's on audibles in the red zone.  It takes some time to find the right plays to take advantage of his skills.  Those plays usually pay off because they aren't frequently used and catch the defense off guard.

Better not to play than get a DNF.    Just finished the outaholic solo battle on PS/4.  Concluded the game 46 - 7 easy win. Exited the game. Exited successfully and then got a DNF when the solo battle screen came up.  I've never seen this kind of DNF before.  It usually occurs during the game with a disconnect.  This DNF occurred after completing the game, hitting finish, and making a successful exit.

Quote from Charmingjmor >> Quote from RollinWithMahomies >> My favorite on is in Ultimate trainers-deep threats-this or that. Start at your 15. Need to gain 30 yards passing. Throw a deep bomb to your fastest guy. 110 xp each time and a bunch of passing yards, tds, and points to go towards career stats Agreed - this is what I use - Young to Moss easy 110
