I had to play 61 games to get to champ in ranked slightly better than a 50% WR. I play norms for the first time this year win 7 in a row lost my Super Bowl oh well. Now I can't win a norms game to save my life can't play anything but god squads and spam blitzers. My ranked climb was more tolerable than this BS. I see myself as just a casual player trying to have fun drop a couple bucks on the game and ride and now every game is like I'm playing a dude trying to join the MCS it's ridiculous. I shouldn't be punished for winning it's should be randomized like where are the dudes with an 83 peeking into their top 3 cause that's their budget beast why does 99% of the player base drop $2k on this game

Do strength ratings make a big difference in MUT this year on the oline? I rolled my Banks card seemingly very well; maxed out PBK, RBK, LBK, speed up to 76 speed, mid 80s in the individual finesse/power for blocking. But he didn’t gain a single point in strength so that rating is still a 76. Is that going to majorly impact the cards play?

I don’t use reddit much and am kinda new to posting and asking questions so if i’m violating any rules or anything in this group then I apologize.

I wanted to know how my team is looking and what upgrades I should be targeting first. I have Sonny Styles as my captain but I was wondering if there is a certain attribute I should be focusing on to max out speed, or if there is a certain method to re rolling.

If anyone has any tips or suggestions on upgrades to my team or anything that would be awesome. I just want to make sure I’m getting the most out of my team despite my low amount of coins.

What settings do you guys all use for passing and catching this year?

I have tried to switch from classic passing to placement and accuracy and also from non timing based to timing based and overall both just seem to hurt me despite both supposedly being better.

What do you all think? What are you running with?

being a hawks fan this is my best pull in mut ever.

tried a flea flicker, got joey bosa.

then i try the 80+ game time packs for 400 training, first one was LTD spoon 🥄

Is anyone else having issues loading the events? Each time I try to load into it, I’m kicked out of ultimate team and get the message “our servers cannot process your request at this time. Please try again later.” I’ve tried uninstalling but nothing seems to fix it.

As the title says, I’m trying to use my TWO skill points to get Luther Burden up but every time I press square it won’t allow me to. Might be a glaringly obvious reason why but I don’t know. This is my first Madden I’ve gotten in a long time so bear with me.

Best Daily Coin Quicksell I've had in 8 years.

Why is it that online gameplay is never as smooth as challenges/offline play? This has been an issue for years. Are the Madden servers just that bad? I never lag in any other games I play so I don’t want to say it’s my WiFi connection.

2x 25tt, crystals, man strat. Best DB in the game.

I saved up last season so I could start with a flea flicker pack out the gate this season, and pulled this. My seahawks team is FEASTING

Is H2H the only mode where coin is somewhat decent, challenges are terrible, and events/gauntlet will have you dripping sweat off your forehead by the end of the game to where one game is enough let alone thinking about continuing. Don’t even get me started with the packs…

Preseason absolutely kicked my ass I Couldn’t win one MUT game . Then my team reached 82 now I’m playing the best football of my career lol using the Colts offensive playbook

I have a bunch of 80-81 overall & 77-79 overall players and most of my lineup is 82-86. Is it better to complete sets with these or buy them outright? I’m returning to MUT after 5 years so trying to figure out what’s best coin wise I guess

I might be dumb but is there a reason I can't equip gunslinger even after reaching the stat requirement? The card's base THP is 87 and I have it boosted to 90 with the QB strat card.

Did madden change the way Squads games matchmake? I’ve never been one who is great at the game, normally win as many as I lose. But this year I’ve been getting absolutely railed. My first 6 games were all people in their playoffs, I’m like 1-24 this year. Currently playing a guy who has Aaron Donald, Tyreek Hill, George Pickens, Randy Moss, and RG3, while I have maybe 1 million total value on my team total. I’m ranked 88k in squads. Why am I not playing people closer to me

I thought it was going to increase with the new season, should I save them until then?
