PSA: Overdrove Progression Explained.
"First is that we have removed stamina as a mechanic in the game. What this means is that the days of waiting around for stamina refills in order to play more are gone. Instead, PvP modes such as Overdrive Head to Head and intraleague play are unlimited"
Hallelujah!!! seriously excited about this one.
With the H2H game which is being dished out to everyone, EA at least got the H2H ambassador championing the community.
Hearty welcome to HSD who finished at the top of the H2H records for MM 2018 for "All Time".
I did get a sense of something being amiss when he stopped doing his periodic streams and his name did not feature in the top of the last several H2H fortnightly seasons. I thought he quit the game. Now, it is evident that he joined EA.
Oh well, let us get ready to welcome Madden H2H on August 15.

They still let you outright buy the good stuff without needing to actually play anything.
Wasn't a fan of the new Overdrive system to begin with. Now seeing that it's being forced down our throats as the only way to really keep up and improve throughout the year without spending a crap ton of real money, I don't think I'll make it past the first month of the season before deleting the game.

These have now been replaced by badges that you turn into "not sets" and get packs, that can turn into banners, that you put into other "not sets" that you turn into other packs that will then turn into players.
I’m skeptical like most that overdrive will deliver as promised by EA, but at this point I’m trying to be optimistic. Looking forward to the 15th!

This does not appear to be more simple or remove sets. I guess I will understand more on the 15th...
Apparently it's more "streamlined", take that as you will.

Quote from ickyswood >> Unfortunately for players like myself that play more for collecting cards and what not this is kind of disappointing
And YUP agree
Sounds like some huge changes. Hopefully there's still packs and an AH to mess around on

I'm not one to be a grammar nazi either, if you understand the point being made, that's all that matters.
