I was playing in my Rose Bowl and got off to a rough start. I was down 14-0, when my WR didnt animate for a catch on 2nd, 3rd and 4th down. So I shot them a message asking if I could get the W and someone FINALLY DID IT! I ended up winning the natty by playing well not begging 😅

But as some who is a proud 0-30-ish in my opponents Rose Bowl or Natty, it was cool to see some one return the favor. I quit 100% of the time if someones game has more at stake than mine (their Rose bowl vs my regular season, etc.) And in a game that is this greedy, I just think its cool for the community to help eachother out once in awhile!

Pass it on guys!

I know you were able to quicksell the card and get the EVO back, as of last week. Can anyone confirm that it stills works? I am considering changing mine but dont want to risk losing it. Thanks!

Ive only played MyTeam for 2 years now and was curious on how gameplay in the mode typically looks for online modes. Last year's game almost capped you at a certain shooting percentage, as making the 3rd three in a row was almost impossible. This year shooting has been insanely easy and the winner of a game most likely shot around 70-80% on threes. The contest system was probably the worst of it, because it rewarded terrible shots by just not registering as contested.

So my question is, in MyTeam is it normally this offensively driven? It felt like most of this year you were playing for stops and scoring was almost a given on most possessions. I like an offensive game, but not to the point where getting a dunk feels like a below average possession. It honestly feels like youre more likely to get steal then a missed shot on defense.

TLDR: Is offense always this easy in MyTeam or was this just more of an aberration?

Hot Take: Already having 125-150 hours played this point in the year is way worse than having spent money.

A few exceptions here I want to point out.

1. If you're a kid on summer break. Do you, enjoy your free time.

2. Early game is your favorite part of the year and when you spend 50%+ of the total time you'll spend all year.

3. You have a lot of AFK time. JK! We both know you're lying 😂

4. There's probably one Im not thinking of, so leaving a place for that here 😅

Ever since I learned that it shows how much people play, Ive been shocked at the hours people put into this game. If you're in that group of time played, its way past being a hobby and whether you realize it not, its the center of your life.

To start, im not talking about what happened recently with offline microtransactions, strictly talking about them in CUT. Idk if im alone on this and curious to see if I am. However, id take microtransations all day over having to exclusively play ebook people who've dedicated their life to this game. My last 10 games, everyone ran a YouTube Offense/defense and had roughly 100 hours in the game already.

I'll take a worse team if people want to buy packs, the bigger issue is loading into a game and playing someone who in any room or setting outside of reddit, is something who has a genuine problem with how dedicated they are to this game.

Everyone on here who uses an ebook is obviously not going to like this, but curious to see the other people agree.

I know that sounds so cliche, but Im so happy to see the community not stand for this. EA is using the 2k playbook and that playerbase absolutely folded when this stuff started getting implemented and the game has been absolute dog shit ever since.

My point though is that a lot people get discouraged when these things happen thinking that EVERYONE has to do it for it to make an impact and their profits need to be $0. Thats not true at all. These games and companies work off of trends and a decrease in monthly sales, even if they made $100 million, if its a decrease its seen as a huge red flag.

For example if last month (May) they made $10M and last June they made $10M, and this June they only made $8M, they will see that as a massive L, despite Mr. Whale still spending his full pay check on the game. Fast forward 3 months, if there are 3 bad months in sequence (a bad quarterly earnings report) big changes will come.

All this to say, if you did do a refund, it will have an impact and sticking with this will result in a better game.

Ive been playing ultimate team modes for the past 3 years, trying a new one each year. Ive played NBA 2k, MUT, and CUT, but never FUT. I am trying to figure out which one to play this year and was curious about how gameplay has been. My experience with other ultimate team modes is that I like building out my team and working to improve it throughout the year. However it just gets to the point where I feel like everyone plays the exact same way. For example I played 2k this year and each game was just 30 minutes of defending the pick and roll, since the defense for it was poorly coded, making it easy to score.

Is that the case with FUT? Do games feel different and are there different playstyles or is it just cheesy plays or strategies people found on YouTube?

Appreciate the help!

I got a dead park if anyone wants to trade.

I was excited once 100 OVRs became more accessible, but its just shined a light on how bad gameplay is this year.

Every game both teams are shooting 80%+ and it feels like are just decided by who gets less illegal screens or having a quarter when someone goes 10/10 on contested 3s.

I feel like this season is showing that getting access to exciting players is part of it, but not all of it. 2 more things IMO ruin the game.

1. With how bad this game is programmed, having most players with 99 stats just turns things into such an offense game where scoring 2 points is a bad possession.

2. It feels like weve reached the time of year where if you play an online game, youre going to play someone, who by any standard other than reddit, is frankly a loser. I play on Xbox and check peoples play time. I haven't seen someone with less than 30 days played this season. That amount of play time combined with 99 stat players, and how easy offense is just makes this game unplayable online.

Got an open court.

The pacing for this game is has been faster than last year and considering we have a goat card on May 1st, I highly doubt they will keep that as the highest rarity for the rest of the year. My question is, how would they actually make something better than current GOAT cards. I have 4 guesses, not sure if any are realistic, but curious what other people think.

Potential Options:

1. Stats can go above 99 this year and the new rarity will maybe get 1 or 2 stats at a 105. Like 3 point shooting for Steph, driving dunk for Lebron, Standing dunk for Shaq.

2. The new rarity boosts other players on the team in certain stats like coaches. It would make dark matters more useful, but not really anything above that.

3. They nerf your opponents cards. Like a Kawaii that makes the player he defends have -5 driving dunk.

4. This is the most realistic I think, because the others would take actual effort from 2k. The new rarity are just GOAT cards with no position. So at the end of the year you can have everyone on the court be 7 foot 4 and above.

What do you think?
