& it's the same game every year... We suck

Well it's not the same every year. It actually gets worse every year. Abilities and training are the latest gameplay downgrade to get players to spend more money, yet mut players eat that garbage up like candy. And somehow there is even less content than last year's title. Madden 08 had more content than the last five iterations of Madden combined.

How does abilities have anything to do with money training you can get under one per sometimes so why are you complaining this is the most fun I’ve had in madden in so long it makes it realistic in a way while still being a video game. Not all players on the field play the same you usually have 5 or 6 players on each side of the ball that play differently and thats what abilities are for not for money

It's really sad that I have to explain to you how abilities and training are another currency intended to encourage the purchasing of packs. Just because training is more affordable when the game is dead doesn't mean that's how it's been throughout the year. The whole point of training and powerups is to get you to spend time or money grinding for an extra currency. All to get 1 extra overall. And the abilities? Even worse. Now players without abilities are total crap. Receivers don't catch anything without abilities. I've had Keenan Allen at 99 CIT for months now, and I've never seen him make a single catch in traffic because I don't have any abilities on him. Stats are mostly meaningless this year. If you don't spend time and money grinding for training to use on abilities you're at a huge disadvantage. It's not realistic at all lmfao. If I have a 99 overall receiver I shouldn't have to spend like 50k training on powering him up and giving him abilities just to make him useable. Oh and guess what, since some abilities are clearly better than others everyone is using the same abilities, so players in the same archetype play exactly the same as each other. And everyone who doesn't have an ability also plays the same. Like crap. Lol. Maybe if you were capable of writing an actual sentence you'd see why this game is a total scam designed to get children to gamble.

How do u spend real money to get training? It is quite easy to get anyways so I don't know why people would spend real money on it.

Lol you didn't even read what I just wrote. Just because training is cheap when the game is dead and the market has crashed doesn't mean it's been like that the majority of the year. The only way to get training is through spending coins or spending real money. Training is 100% a tactic to try to get people to spend more money. Just think about it. Even when you buy training with coins, those are coins you could've put towards players you actually want. Instead, now you have to grind more to get more coins to get players at their most effective because of training and abilities. The more you have to grind, the more likely you're going to get bored and choose to bypass the grind with real money. At least if you're a moron. I'd never pay to open a pack, but obviously EA's predatory tactics work on at least a portion of the playerbase.

I know EA uses many cash grab tactics but I don't think power up players are one of them. It's not really a grind to get them that 1 overall higher and I don't think anybody spends real money training, they can spend money on packs and players but training is and will always be the most attainable currency.
