Why did EA add UT if it had no plans on using it?

I was thinking about this today. Why waste resources on building CUT if you had no plans of supporting it? I was staying positive longer than most but this week EA completely abandoned the mode. I mean taking away Champs & not addressing it at all? That’s not a good look.

And now I don’t have a mode to play. I wasnt planning on playing CUT originally but the other modes let me down...

Originally I was going to play Dynasty - But it’s boring to me now. Then I thought I’ll just play as my Irish in regs but they don’t let you choose any other playbook other than that teams & Notre Dame’s playbook is ass. Also it got real repetitive real fast - 9 out of 10 games was against Alabama. So then I tried CUT and enjoyed it. No clue what I’m going to do now.

It is weird that they just haven’t bothered revealing the legends. I don’t think they’ve abandoned the mode per sey but they have neglected it.

imho, I think this year was just a year for them to acclimate everyone to CFB games again and CUT will have more content next year. Which stinks cause I’m enjoying CUT, but it’s pretty bare bones. To be fair, they said from day one that CUT wasn’t going to be the focus of the game

They'll be lucky to get repeat customers next year. At this point I'm done buying EA games forever unless something changes.

Yeah i swore i would never buy Madden again after the increasing greed in MUT chased me away. I figured what the hell it's college football so one more time. If things don't drastically improve over the season I'm done with EA forever its just no fun anymore.

Not to disregard your opinion on the game, but for every you or someone else that leaves they gain 3-4 more people who can finally afford next gen or something. as long as it’s the only football game company, it’ll sell sadly

Me to a tee.

Going to make the move to PC.

They did this to make more money

Didn't get into CUT until start of season 2, feel like I can't really catch up to teams that started from the beginning cause of all the free cards with season 1 content and there has been so little season 2 content

I agree. I have mostly switched to playing squads. You need to find decent ppl to play with though. Squads is so much fun, if you work on gameplans/setups with your friends.

To think there was a time I was annoyed with all the solo challenges in MUT. I actually miss them now since there is nothing else to do in CUT! Haha

In all seriousness I could care less about champs but the fact that certain players who spend thousands can get better teams in an instant still pisses me off cuz I’ve been grinding for over a month and a half and I have a 85 yet some people have fucking 87 or 86 squads with Luther and Judkins which is annoying but the grind of playing is fun just fucking sad that my team still isn’t the best compared to others who spends thousands

it is, imo, more pay to win than it ever has. just buy packs/coins and pick up judkins and luther burden (or some other WR) and watch them just straight up outrun everyone. you can sell out to stop the run but then they can put judkins on a route and he'll outrun any coverage you can throw at him. it's insanely frustrating to play defense.
