Free to play = DDA

I completely second the all caps contributor above - I may not exactly understand what those words mean but I fully whole heartedly beyond any shadow of a doubt agree with the sentiment. Once again.. joke is on us my friends. I have given a good amount of cash to get to play with the team I wanted - it's got the best of the best players any given week but  not the point. To watch my 96 ovr team get destroyed by my buddy who has never played 87 overall squad (took some time to meet up in champs fwiw)  - his gentosmith lit it up for 250 yards. 

 I don't hate on EA for trying to make a buck. But... the idea of the ratings and the impression of meaningfulness as to their comparative ability to lesser ranked players is where liability manifests itself... 

EA lawyers monitoring this forum - u know u already are completely busted on the bowl game misleading language (noticed you changed it) I have an inkling that we have the makings of something akin to fraud brewing here on the misleading player 'quality' numbers.  Suggest you consider something to come right (no admission - call it long term player appreciation pack or something).  Fraud is serious allegation and yup that's criminal liability - aka monetary damages don't suffice....  PGE was found criminally liable don't forget.

Prob gonna get banned for this my friends but - I know a few underemployed lawyers that have been looking for something like this...

You probably don’t play much. When you do play EA helps you out a lot. Gives you a false sense of skill. DDA was created to squeeze a couple extra bucks out of people like you.

They probably just want the ebt money so they're trying to convince bum people with bum teams that they are actually good at the game with hopes they spend 4.99$ each week and forgo buying the snickers bar and mountain dew they eat everyday once a week to buy a new pack from BND set and have meanwhile, Flanigan from season 2 will be torching the latest $1M cb and top gauntlet award player.

Until inevitably they pull the rug and likely some suicides will happen because they realize they are actually trash at the game and with their broken self esteem will now overdraft their checking account and become completely broke buying a pack for this game and then ultimately depend more on government handouts and vote blue no matter who.

Classic democratic party play book.  

All the while the entire game is supported on the backs of people with jobs and / or money that can financially afford fielding a good team.  This is why communism is lame.  And yes, they take advantage of people with merit to fund their billion dollar company and greedy nonsense.

These packs should cost no more than $20 a month to field a top god squad.  Not $1000 a month in buying packs. 

Plus, they have banned and canceled people's accounts for buying players and auctioning too much for high profits saying it's market manipulation.  So go figure.

People are starting to give up. They are ruining their base. I’m starting to slow down. At this point we can only blame ourselves.

95% agree the DDA has gotten out of control, the value of the packs aren't there any longer, and they don’t treat their base well.

The 5% are the ones getting DDA to bail them out.

I also wonder if it’s within their Tournaments as well. I don’t know that, however, it seems so coded into the game. They would have to go out of their way to prevent DDA from activating.

Ya spending $150 gets you 200k in coins on the low low end.  

500k average.  

And the game favors low skill players.  MI'd blitz is 100% for low skill players.  

Dda is hilarious as well.  But i think it's just ramped up during thes3 bowl games and what not because every game can become a sweaty close game.  Rreality is actually more crazy than this game.  

Week 3 showed that.  I watched 3 games and thought to myself...."damn, this is more ridiculous than what happens in cfb25 when the algorithm is 100% against you and the game is cracked. "  so i mean....real life is whacky-er than this game sometimes.  

That being said, people with slow internet should never be paired with anyone other than slow internet people and Flannigan cannot be torching Woodson.  They gotta correct a bit.  If a team is up 35 pts....sure, throw some dda love but turn it back off when it's 21 pts diff.  Eto etc

If they are transparent about the 35 point rule, then I’d be okay with it. However, stop lying to us.

Exactly.

As an owner of a 95 overall team I would much rather play other 94 - 95 overalls than anything 93 or below lmao. I know it's always gonna be a goof troop DDA show.

game is so full of shit its impossible to overcome this FUCKING BULLSHIT MAN like fuck dude fuck electronic arts man never buying or playing a game from them ever again after this games cycle is done. it be the trash ass motherfuckers usering dlinemen and just spamming bombs and jump balls on offense with their receivers magically blowing past cbs 10 yards back and midget wrs catching jump balls like theyre RANDY FUCKING MOSS WINNING AGAINST ME FUCK THIS FUCKING COMPANY

Someone get this man a warm glass of milk and some cookies, or a real hobby.

Im not sure how they can legally get away with this without noting it to the players. With there being money involved to purchase more expensive players I would assume they would have to tell players that "Hey, even though this cards speed is whatever it will be adjusted if the opposing players cards are this or lower." I agree with you guys but dont see how they get away with it.
