Training pack preference

Hey all,

I enjoy a few of the max training packs from time to time (so currently talking the ones that only give 99’ champs or LTDs and cost 360-380k training each)

I had some great luck with game changers 1 - jagged a JJ Watt and a Lawrence Taylor, SOTS where I got LTDs at WR, OLB and RB.  I think overall I had 5 LTDs from my first 12 packs overall.

I got dusted in spring Break where I got about 25 packs and never hit any LTD nor even a DJ Pickett.

I’ve not gotten many lately, a few ultimate alumni, a couple of record breakers where I was fortunate to get a LTD Holiman.

Anyway, I’ve cobbled together another 4m or so in training and wondering which packs if any you guys think might offer a good return (ie more usable players / guys who sell for $200k+ coins etc ?

I had put my hopes in game changers 2 before it dropped some terrible champs.  I didn’t like the idea of What if  especially initially - however I note it has a few good champs but also a lot of duds.  Ultimate Alumni seems to have had some really nice champs lately like Pouncey but there were a lot of bad ones in the first couple of weeks like Summerall I could pull.  I had hoped for Mirage but then week 1’s offerings were really poor, week 2 looks a tad better and the LTDs look great exp the RB.

Which would you guys get ? Or am I better off waiting for a new promo where the week 1 cards are good (like SOTS where nearly every champ was instantly highly startable).  Maybe I should wait for “graduation” if it comes out ?

Anyway, just thought I’d look for some opinions / thoughts.

I have recently found a lot of luck with the game changers v2 that just came out and puller 2 LTDs in to packs. But when it comes down to just what to buy I usually look at what has the most expensive non ltds because that is the most common thing to pull.

the first game changers bnd were really good to me, pulled lots of ltd’s. i did open 1 of the vol 2 on tuesday and pulled calvin

alumni has given me quite a few, I'm still not convinced Blue Chip ever had any in there  :)

What If? has been my best one. I'm assuming because we have 9 LTDs every week available in there so your odds of getting one is slightly higher.

Well I ripped 2 x Mirage training rolls today, got last weeks RB who I already had BND and then got a LTD 2nd pack which was super exciting given this weeks are both great !  Anddd then the season LTD animation came up.  Got the season 8 WR so it’s off to the auction block.

Can’t complain but either of those mirage LTDs would have been sweet and the SS likely replaces Holiman.  Unsure re the RB vs Bo.

I can attest to this. I opened just one pack and pulled the wr Devin Hester. It was my first time buying a 99 training pack in a while and I was shocked I actually pulled it. I just don’t know if I should sell him or not.

Nice !  I pulled a BND CB Hester yesterday from the season pass 99 BND pack.

Depends if he would make your lineup or if the coins would buy you someone you would use more.

Congrats on the score !

Id roll What If. I did about 6 million in Game Changers for Calvin and 2 LTDs, the FS and season LTD Branch

Ive rolled what if the most and consistently get the LTDs and a few of the champs are good resells

Cheers, I might take a sneaky peak at the next what if reveals then decide whether to roll this weeks or the future weeks.

Training is nice, but eventually it needs to lead to cards or coin (for cards)

Agreed. 

That's why I really miss the Game Changers BND rolls. I like to use training more for improving my team, and that was a great way to do it and also having a shot at an LTD, but of course EA spoils the fun
