Old. M21 was the 1st year in decades I didn't buy the game. When it became available for free on Game Pass I started playing. At that time all of the RPs from M20 were fully upgraded. So, I started the game with 10 players all 91+. Some players like Chase Young remained on my team for at least a month. Having the RPs in M21 helped me a ton. If I was going to buy the game on the first day I still would prefer the old method. Most years there have been at least one or two cards that make it on the roster later in the year. Plus there is always hope (when a RP has a great game) that they will get an upgrade, granted, misguided hope since it rarely works out that way. What a disappointment that EA destroyed this unique program.
