FIfa is the same thing. THey have "chemistry" which is the same as our Scheme. They have RNG. They have P2W. NBALive has RNG, I don't know enough to comment about scheme like things there or not.

@morgane144, you hit it on the noggin, they do the same model for Fifa, NBA, etc. gameplay sucks, RNG, DDA whatever name you call it. In NBALive you can get max bar on a 3 pt shot, using top 3 pt stat shooter point guard, and airball it then the other team runs down and their center knocks down a 3 ptr to win. Same stuff. LVL is full of lower ovr teams kiling you and you smash a higher ovr. etc. FIFA has something called "chemistry" where you must get players of the same chemistry to max it out on gameplay, meaning you often cant get your favorite players and mix and match world leagues players because they are the wrong chemistry. Sounds like Scheme boosts anyone ? lol. same stuff. So the Fifa guys can't get maybe like Ronaldo and somebody else because they are different chemisty. Its how EA does business and the model sucks. But good to know for next year. I'm taking next year off until at least Thanksgiving. If the message boards are bad, I will wait out EA even if it takes years and years. This game is not enjoyable enough anymore. By using Chemistry and Schemes they are not respecting fans and those of us who like building our teams from our favorite players. Gee imagine a sports game where fans cant build a team with their heroes on the same team or risk losing. Geesh. Yeah, I can wait years and years no problem.

temp saquon is stll getting chased down by much lower OVR defenders with much less sp. LOL. still the same engine.

I sincerely hope you get your wish so I can run through and around your coverage LBS. lol. But you are right, more variety to team builds are good.

yeah, I have 97 and 98s also stocked up, I just wanna use my favorite players though, and the whole top 100 and ltd EVO path is now ruined by a non cost effective path. so now we all have 97 and 98 NON evo cards and we are forced to dump our favorite players just to keep up. All im saying is that this is clear for the future - do NOT invest in EVO either thru effort or coin.

again another helpful insightful post. don't know what we would all do without you.

^^^^ this. would have hoped for and have been waiting for more MID level cards at 95/96 within the promos. This one also does not have mid level 95/96. It's clearly made it much much harder and stamina trade-off sub-optimal to upgrade 94 EVOs compared to just scrapping these from the lineup and grinding for 97/98s. and this means scrapping players we want to keep and very much want to keep.

Why is the new color scheme, blue type on a blue background, using blue buttons ? seriously ? talk about hard on the eyes. its camouflage.

Cheap ? really ? as opposed to what, people spamming PA passes all day long in lvl ? or hail marys all day long ? so I guess you didn't grind for the stadium, now you call others cheap for them grinding it out ?

Cowboys stadium with the blinding glare is much more of an eye strain, why no change to that ? thx.
