SOTW LACK OF PLAYERS

Not sure how true it is, but I heard that the Military academies aren't allowed to be used to try and sell packs. I believe that's why last year when we got the Air Force and Navy fullbacks that could be upgraded and the Army safety, they were all given away as free cards that you could earn or were just given for logging in. 

That doesn't excuse him not getting a card at all though. As well as he played for Navy in that game, they couldv'e given him a special H2H reward card or something.

I can believe it as they exist outside of the NIL structure as they have always been paid members of the military. I don't know how that affects the game and how they can be used. It's sad for them and their fans if this precludes them from being represented with cool cards on the game.

I mean, Marcell Reed is in the game (as an 81!!) So it's not like there's no one, but with how few there are, I really expected Cashius, Marcell, Craver, or Concepcion to appear in the Nightmares program. But no.

And man, I'd love Ryan Swope, Tannehill, or even Steven McGee to appear in the game, but I'm not getting any hopes up.

I totally forgot about the York I pulled twice in the same booster it was my best pull all year, that being said Reed and Craver for sure should get something and I am no huge Aggie fan but historic seasons need to be rewarded for the fans and this one is going very well for ya'll.

To play devil's advocate Michael Sam was SEC defensive player of the year and led the SEC in sacks and TFL so him having a card isn't something crazy but I wouldn't remember his name if it weren't for his off the field life. I am still very salty about when my teams WR had the best receiving performance of the year of anyone yet in a rivalry game no less and he got an 88 hero card when we were at 90s. Eli Heidenreich of Navy got no card at all after his amazing performance so they definitely aren't staying true to SOTW and are dropping random cards that are good player but had better players with better stats and performances to give cards to instead.

Not to beat a dead horse but yeah, that’s sort of the entire point. They’re not giving the community cards that the community wants. They’re either throwing darts at a board and have no clue about the game they’re working on or making an active effort to push out shitty content. But judging by the fact that they got Taylor Mays in mut my money would be on the latter.

Agreed this is a college game many people prefer the passion and rivalries of college over pro ball and many of heroes never made good pro’s they need to hire someone who is a college football historian to help them pick some of their guys and make it more creative and more deserving players. They also need to just flat out drop more cards there are 32 teams in Madden and 134 or something crazy in CFB FBS they need to at least double the amount of cards they drop and don’t just drop more BIG, SEC, ND, and popular ACC players spread the wealth around to all the teams and we would be much happier. It would just be more work on their end.

Yea like how is there more MUT cards that CUT. Makes 0 sense how lazy they are when people want to back this game.

Whatever dev group decided to give Michael Sam as an LTD told us all we need to know about what to expect the rest of the year. Call me a dickhead if you want but that perfectly encapsulates what’s gone on in cut.

Well that's very false. He was a beast in college. Now if he gets an LTD in madden that's telling

I think they should do a player for each game with a top25 team. Have 3 LTDs. One on off, one on D, and one that just lit it up.. then the rest can be 91,89, and 87 OVRs (for now)

I get the same players over and over and packs are still 84 plus which baffles me
