I did the challenge 30+ times, one time I sacked them 3x in a row and they finally didn't punt out of bounds, I had to use the lateral and recover it myself. That solo is terrible.

It's to make sure you're not a bot. A bot couldn't do those puzzles. It's worrying when you get it, because it clearly means they think you're acting like a bot. That said, I got it pretty regularly in the app a couple weekends ago sniping legends and I wasn't banned. Sucks that doing something like playing the AH can get you in their crosshairs. I actually find that part really fun.

But costs wouldn't go down if they left it as it was, they'd go up for new good cards that you can't buy directly with training.  How does 25 million for Lamar's LTD MVP card sound?  It's all great if inflation doesn't happen as a result, but I don't want good card to turn into "Who is willing to spend the most hours grinding currency creation to obtain them?"  I don't think it'd eliminate their profits that much (unless inflation caused people to quit), because money spenders would buy the bundles because they wouldn't trade 15 hours of grinding gingerbread men for currency for card, they'd just pay real world cash instead.

EA makes a lot of mistakes, but this wasn't one of them IMO.  This absolutely had to be fixed.   If you allow people to make unlimited training/currency inflation is going to run rampant and ruin everyone's day.    They made a huge mistake with those gingerbread men sets and if they kept it as it was, it would've ruined the game.   Now, if it was some arbitrage opportunity that would've eventually evened out as the market correct, they'd let it run it's course.  This one had to be fixed because once you could weather the ups and downs, it was no lose and you were literally creating new currency out of thin air.   Inflation would've been crazy and it would've been very bad.

My hunch is that they'll send you to a webpage that asks for your username/password and then use that info to login to your account and strip it of everything of value.   The only time I know of EA doing gifts like this is the twitch streams and they don't ask for your password, just your username.  If anyone needs to know your password, you can be positive it's a scam.

Same thing with me.   The app was rock solid in 19 and for several weeks of 20 for me, but there was an issue that brought it down for a while and it's been super-flaky ever since.

I don't understand how he's so cheap to be honest.  I grabbed 2 in the past day at 175k on PS4.   Peyton Manning's MF is the cheapest 93 training option right now at about 320k.   So in a few weeks, he's either going to close that ground or training is about to get REALLY cheap.    My guess is it'll be somewhere in the middle (maybe 275k by the time he reaches 93?) but I'm definitely betting on more of the former than the latter.

I see a lot of people assuming that MF cards will rise to the price of training rather than dragging training down.   I think it'll end up in the middle somewhere, but I lean more toward dragging training down.   Here's some recent reasons why training might go down once MF ends: People recently got a bunch of training refunds via make rights (increase supply) Change was made to refund on abilities, meaning less training is needed when switching cards (decrease demand) Huge influx of "cheap" cards once MF ends (increase supply)    So, training right now is 31-32 coins per.  88 MF players are trading around 60k (~23-24 coins per training).   Rather than seeing those 88MF players going up to the current price of training (82k @ 32 coins per),  I see them settling in at something in the mid-to-high 60s (26-28?) or maybe low 70s and dragging other 88s down to about that price, unless something that ups the demand for training comes out along with the end of the promo.   Just a guess on my part though.
