I'm dumbfounded on how EA messed up this badly in terms of making desirable player drops, and overall making a good program/event. This event is horrible in every way. The H2H event, its mechanics and win conditions are interesting and fun, albeit completely foolish and frustrating at times. The rewards are awful though. Win 5 entirely luck-based fumble games with only 2 losses allowed, and receive underwhelming "rewards" that pale in comparison to Spring Break, Redshirt Rumble, and Honors Society. The cards. Week 1 was solid. Good players at each position for 98s. 99 LTDs of Victor Cruz w 99 speed, and 99 Kyngstonn, one of the best true WILLs in the game. Week 2. Horrible, all the 98 champs are garbage. 5'10 receiver with 98 speed, horrible route running stats, worthless card. Kaytron Allen. Only 97 speed. Not great. The SS, 96 speed, unacceptable. Urlacher has 97 and came out a month ago, not to mention he is 2 inches taller, 50 lbs heavier, with nearly identical coverage stats. 98 Andrew Simpson, not good, 96 speed, only 6'0, liability in coverage, true rating should be 96. All of these guys feel like fraudulent 98 ovr cards, there are countless 97s and 96s released earlier that outplay these guys. If the goal of ultimate team for EA is to make revenue from pack sales, this isn't the way to do it. It cannot be hard at all to make cards that are iteratively better than the ones that have come out before. Seriously. Just up the ratings one or two. Every card that is released should be a top 2 or 3 card at that position right away, this is the whole goal of iterative overall and stat increases as the year progresses. Nobody is out here ripping $100s of packs to get a 99 center. Putting this out before eggs open tomorrow, because I feel strongly that those will not redeem this program.
Reason: grammatical errors
Between undesired cards and untenable lag, they have pushed me away from the game for much of this weekend.
I just realized the eggs are "one of the following". I thought we got all of what was in the details for the egg. I already know I'm getting a bunch of 250 coin quicksells.
I got a UT tip from a pack then kicked off line. not even logging back on to finish the rotten eggs

I'm actually impressed! Just opened all mine
1 Large: LTD pull; 99 Stephen Daley
1 Medium: 96 LG
23 Small: two strategy, one uniform, one 98 Champ, two 96's, two 95's, seven 94's, six 93's, two 92's
Nothing but trash out of my 26 egg packs
Fun times
i got a 10k quick sell from 1 of my 2 large eggs, what shit
My large BND egg had the treasure map in it lol you can’t make this up!

I saw that card and even the universe said thats wack and kicked me off line
had 50 eggs and not one was worth shi
No one got the upgrade for Evans?
This was a generationally 💩 promo
It is a pretty funny promo, I have no incentive trying to get the Egg currency. I have spent what little I earned on the alternate jerseys hahaha. I do run power and I would like the RT from MSU but I'm pretty set just throwing a LT in that spot instead of chasing any of these cards. I think the ultimate alumni cards have even been better!!!
10 Strat items (1 speed, 1 acc, 8 strength)
23 small eggs - best was a 96 BND or a 10k coin pack.
3 med - best 10k coin pack or a 94 BND
1 LARGE - 95 WT
Honestly the 3 x 10k coin packs were the “highlights”. I guess I have a bit more training now for a record breakers or hometown heroes 98+ rip this week.
