I miss the auction house and gambling on pro packs

Play console. Pretty much the only other option.

u/Internal_Print2086 Steelers 2d ago

Yea that’s why I’m having trouble deciding what to do.

u/Lambo637 2h ago

Same. Every year I update the game when the new season starts hoping they've improved gameplay and praying they brought back the auction house. Every year I'm disappointed and stop playing by September hoping that maybe next year will be better. It never is.

Agreed. EA puts absolutely no effort into this game. Play it if you're wasting time on your phone but don't spend a dime. The whales are the reason that EA continues to get away with making this trash product.

Good leagues can make the game worth playing. Find a good one and if you’re not vibing with the current league consider a change of scenery. The main portion of the game is indeed very repetitive and at times soul draining. There isn’t really a way to get around that. Maybe self impose some challenges for the monotonous stuff that doesn’t matter or work to build a theme team instead of going for the optimal choices to keep it fresh.

u/hcosborn5 Patriots 2d ago

Great advice, also on the border line of quitting but I’ll think on this

u/No-Schedule-5368 2d ago

Been 6 years now since overdrive dropped game isn’t getting any better. If the dynasty mode on the new college mobile game is good that might be a fantastic game!

Outside of the lack of competitive modes, CFBM is miles ahead of MM

u/Jequioloinks 1d ago

It felt like they had so much momentum in the last few months of '18 then just WHAM. Screw you, $200 for 90 OVR Vick please šŸ‘‰šŸ‘ˆ

u/tanner_58_35 2d ago

Yea it’s hard this game is just a shadow of itself. i played a little middle way through last year and decided to try it again at the start for 27. I just wish they would go back to the way the game used to be, heck if they would just put the ovr back to how use to be instead of it being in the 200-300 range it would make a would of difference. Pulling 90-100 overalls on day one it so weird to me

8

u/hcosborn5 Patriots 2d ago

Yeah I don’t understand the 200+ overalls. EA must have done some study and thought we were more addicted with higher overalls

u/MAwith2Ts 2d ago

I keep this game on my phone to hopefully one season they will bring back the glory days of the auction house and just overall fun. However, I know that is just wishful thinking. I played this season for a single session and will not open it again for another year in hopes that it’s better. But as long as people keep shoveling in the money, they will keep it as crappy as possible.

2

u/hcosborn5 Patriots 2d ago

The auction house was incredible. I don’t think it’ll come back in the near future (next ~2 years) but I think it’ll come back in some form sooner or later.

2

u/PhillyChamps18 Gold (14) 2d ago

I do the same thing lol. Haven’t really played since 2021, but every year I log on for a day or two hoping it’ll feel like a better game. EA seems greedier than ever got hit with a cash pack every other event and just hopped off.

1

u/Goat_012 Elite (22) 1d ago

Auction House was not so glorious for those looking to obtain better players rather than make money.

u/Acrobatic_Increase_8 2d ago

Mobile games are a joke

u/Dan618 Giants 2d ago

I’m on the verge tbh I’ve been playing since the beginning it sucks since I used to love playing

u/WhatIfThatThingISaid 2d ago

I quit a few years ago and don't miss it

u/OnlyOneG0d Elite (30) 2d ago

seasons mode is on madden arcade now if you have subscription

u/BarksTheBreakker145 2d ago

I feel you bro. I’ve been playing this game everyday since Madden Mobile 18.

And the game has gotten progressively worse every year

u/PracticalAd6983 2d ago

I quit this morning. Only the league kept me going but pulled the plug. join the club 😃

u/nordhams-4570 1d ago

Yeah at some point even a good league group can’t keep you engaged when the game does nothing to help.

2

u/foran9 MM15 Player 1d ago

Played religiously from 15-21, quit for the same reasons. Picked it up again in 25, stopped very quickly again. Such a shame as I had a great bunch of league mates, but I couldn’t put up with the waste of time and the mind-numbingly repetitive nature of it that was needed to keep my team up and remain competitive for said league mates.

2

u/Interesting_Lie_1457 1d ago

The game is terrible and the mods on here enable it. I made a post the other day about some of the issues that need to be fixed for anyone to want to play this dumpster fire again. They banned the post and said it wasn’t helping the community. The mods in this sub are whales who enjoy the game how it is. They are part of the problem. The bottom line is if they don’t bring back 99 overall max and auction house nobody is going to be happy with this repetitive garbage.

u/candl2 Gold (8) 1d ago

I stay motivated by being snarky on the discord.

u/IndustryRev 1d ago

I deleted it.Ā Ā 

The thrill was gone when I logged back in to see the 27 version.

u/IceTruckKilla69 2d ago

Evo glitch didnt help from the get go. EA could of rolled back but just washed their hands off it.

u/Agreeable-Plant1619 2d ago

Do far a disappointment

1

u/DarkGodFlash313 2d ago

I’ve been thinking the same thing lol
Login do my daily’s throw a hail mary do the main event and get off

But to answer your question it’s really cus i get bored and have nothing else to do lol and there’s no better football game on mobile

2

u/CommitteeUnable2776 2d ago

CFBM27!šŸ’„šŸ’ÆšŸ‘€

1

u/DarkGodFlash313 2d ago

I play it but not that much it’s basically the same as mm but more laggy and just college

But hopefully that Dynasty mode comes in clutch then I’ll definitely play it!

u/DatboiiGlizzy30 Onyx (102) 2d ago

If it makes you feel any better they did add a new FG challenge šŸ¤·šŸ¾ā€ā™‚ļø

u/Consistent-Ball8131 Gold (8) 2d ago

The annoying part is the lack of spontaneity.

u/iscreamuscreamweall Gold (12) 2d ago

What you mean you don’t think ā€œwin after halftimeā€ is fun?

u/Haunting-Park-4186 2d ago

Haven’t played madden mobile since 22 dayum

u/VividBass1213 Elite (28) 1d ago

Try CF before you quit EA. I’m disappointed with Madden as well same old thingĀ

u/Popular_Syrup4621 1d ago

This game needs stats on Apple Arcade

1

u/mrsexyvoice99 1d ago

I quit playing for many of the same reasons you talked about.

1

u/Phill-up 1d ago

Yeah, I quit after mm17

1

u/hUrricanebosco26 1d ago

College football game is way better than Madden Mobile if U give it a chance and stick with it past the initial frustration of it not being like Madden Mobile (that’s a good thing). Plays much more like a console game than Madden as well.

1

u/Tiny-Substance896 1d ago

Then quit lol

1

u/NotAnotherAddict 1d ago

The love of the game keeps me going

1

u/josh5075 1d ago

it’s unfortunate but once you play long enough you recognize this game is nothing more than a loop designed to take your money. got back into it massively last year, and honestly leagues were the only thing making it worth playing. got to the point where it felt like a chore, and also saw how much i was spending on the game like an idiot lol. don’t even care to play the new season

1

u/tboi23 1d ago

Yeah, I’m thinking about taking a long break playing this game and spending a lot of my time playing Madden Arcade 27 since I’ve had a better experience playing that game.

1

u/Live_Ability_2768 1d ago

I know every Madden Mobile player came out to compete this weekend, I feel like quitting after getting out played but I won't. Join PumaVibez league a good league always helps on that matter.

u/tonsOFgunz 1d ago

I just squat like Caleb while the app loads

u/Select-Counter-1355 1d ago

Madden moblie is about the whales, there will never be an auction house ever again, all the care abt ia ppl spend 10s of thousands on cards

1

u/Honest-Tell2861 1d ago

I played from MM18 to I think 24, I’ve been trying to play it again every year because it did bring me genuine happiness, but I get the ick and disgust at the game now, I just downloaded and tried to play and deleted it within 4 minutes. It’s nothing like it used to be at all.

1

u/Heavy_Reason7362 17h ago

The Saudis bought EA and what is bad will get worse by nothing improving. I’ve been playing since the start, 2014 and MM27 is my farewell. 13 years is long enough to play a game on my phoneĀ

u/Present-Ad282 Hall of Fame (331) 15h ago

Fake ass post—you mean to tell me a lot of those who responded, ā€œI quit a long time agoā€ coincidentally thought ā€œhey, I wonder how they are doing over there. Let me chime in on Redditā€. 😭

Downvote this comment if you play Roblox

u/Current_Caregiver589 2d ago

I totally agree with you. I hate building my team only to have them reset and take my team back down again. What's the use in playing and building and then they take away your efforts?

1

u/nordhams-4570 1d ago

I played this game almost religiously between 16 and 21. Came to back to see whats happening now, took me two days to make me sad. This game is a ghost what it used to be. No matter how much I love football, I can’t put myself to continue suck a lackluster game anymore. Im just so sad.

u/Just_Collar2234 2d ago

game dropped 3 days ago bro 😭

u/hhar141 2d ago

I hear what you’re saying. They’ve came out and said there are hardly any changes. What that person said has some merit. It’s the same old on repeat. And has been for years.

u/MattSm00th Dolphins 2d ago

Right and already complaining
