No real bottleneck this time. Pretty easy trade ins for badges to players or badges to shields and events reward plenty of badges. The decision will have to be whether to spend coin on S8 players that you can't earn from the promo, play solo battles some to get players, or use bosses badges to build players. Either way, the badges you get from events are all you need to be able to build masters.

I'm one of those that put a lot of stock in RTE. Also usually pass to TE right after cuts, so I'd lean towards Vernon

Arena has no matchmaking at all. You simply get matched with the next available player.

Have you seen that stats on WR/TE in the new Yard? Someone obviously mixed the 2 positions up.

Ramsey is the same way. Requires a TOTY series 1 97 build to unlock. Same with Allen for S2.

They're definitely testing out potential new game modes to compete with other companies' coming non-simulation games. The smaller, 5v5 / 6v6 games have a hope of being able to be live H2H before people have the tech to handle 11v11 on their phone. It would also be interesting if NFL is interested in doing this in real-life. Send 5/6 player teams to play internationally on soccer fields in the off-season.

That's what they tried to do 2 years ago with Overdrive. Kept tweaking scoring bonuses to try to balance captains/coaches.Don't think anyone really thought it was handled well, but you did have to invest to change when EA adjusted. At least new playbooks would be free.

But who's playing? A sim game? Pro Madden players? The actual NFL Pro Bowl players?

Any word on more ice coming, like on NYE?
