Anyone who buys Madden the year a new engine or console generation is released is a sucker.

I'm sure I'll have bought a used copy by September.

No poo poo, but people love to whine even moreso about poo poo they've no clue about simply because it's EA.

A company with a bad reputation tends to get less respect and understanding??? :monocle:

What is and isn't a completed pass is the most realistic thing in Madden.

I'm gunna get Madden for the frst time since Madden 25 on 360. Is the GOAT edition worth it or no? I haven't ever played that card poo poo so I'm not sure if I should spring for it or not. I imagine I will play that card game probably sine it seems super popular but previously I stuck to offline franchise.

If you're the type that is going to spend money on the cards anyway then sure. That's the only difference though.

Do you need to spend money on cards? I'm not gunna sperg full goon and min max all my bullshit like...I'll play for fun and maybe buy less than 5 packs. .

Is the discount on the included packs significant?

You don't need to but you'll be pretty far behind people who don't unless you spend a bunch of time doing the challenges to make coins (depending on how lucrative those end up being this year). According to the first site I found it's $50 worth of stuff for the extra $20 so it's a good deal IF you're the type of person to spend money on stuff like MUT, but if you're not sure about it probably go regular edition.

I usually only play long term offline single player franchises...for instance I'm about 9 years into my current fins franchise in Madden 25 but i thought since goons and everyone plays MUT I would try

I never get more than 5 or 6 years into a franchise before teams have hosed themselves with huge contracts. The raiders usually can't afford to keep 30 players under contract by 2022.

so like do certain cards carry over? like i saw some rookie premier cards and poo poo like that.....can i get 17 and run through challenges or whatever to get better cards for MUT?

also, i got the GOAT edition, what player do you think would be the best? I'm leaning toward CB or MLB....

Only the RP cards carry over. It is probably too late now to get any of them if you are starting from scratch, I haven't played since December but have been reading up on MUT the last few weeks, I think the sets for RP players cost like $1.4 million coins to complete, they are the only thing that has any value in '17 at this point I believe.

GOATs are only 84 overall. I think you get an elite CB and a Gronk (probably elite) after playing for like an hour, so keep that in mind, plus can get Marino from that new story mode.
