time2grind. I'm going to MUT this year, and I'm not giving EA a single penny after all the goddamn money I blew on it last year. I'll take the packs that come from preordering and that's that. You really, really don't need to buy packs to beat people.

Will there be feature differences between last generation and current generation versions?

I do find it funny that they announced a new mode with "people told us we should do fantasy football, so here's Hearthstone mode!"

The more I read about it the more i'm interested in it. It's like MUT but instead of perpetual it resets at the end of every set of games and nobody will be able to build an all 99 squad of superstars.

Yep that's basically the goal, you can get a couple 99 guys but not an entire team of them.

The ratings for MUT cards are up on the M16 site.

The 90 OVR Tebow from doing draft champions is about 10% lower rated, probably less, than his broken as poo poo 97 OVR card from M15.

I am grinding 100 draft badges right outta the gate.

If you opened more then a thousand packs in game in 15 EA sent you a free copy of 16. People are posting them all over the usual places.

I mean a thousand is a LOT of packs. Even if you ripped 60 at a time that's like thousands of real life dollars.

That is smart as hell on EA's part. If you spent that much on a game over a year then give the next version for free to continue the addiction.



Edit: I have $60 in reward points so I am thinking of getting the $100 version. Please talk me out of it.

Theres probably a good chance I am getting one of those freebies; I spent waaaayy too much goddamn money on MUT 15. I made quite a bit back, but I'm sure I broke 1k packs.

When you have a lot of disposable income in your spending budget microtransactions can creep up fast. I'm not spending a dime this year and plan to grind a team. That and draft champions sounds legit as hell.

They'll have a web site where you can check you rewards level but it's not live yet.

I think I hit the 250 level easy but 1k is a LOT of packs. Games been out about a year. That 25 packs a week for 40 weeks.

I played a ton of Madden Mobile but all they give out is 5 packs max. I didn't 100% it so I'll be getting 4. I didn't play any on console last year so I think I might play more of that instead of mobile.

So I'll start with a decent Sherman and ETIII for doing the Master set in 15 if the tweets is to be believed.

The Mutrank guy still around? His page added the 16 database, but its all mixed in with the 15 one.

lol I knew spending that money on those 40 bundles on those two promos did it. I got a copy. I'm so glad I got some of it back in the spring because that was something i'm never doing again.

I will give my extra PS4 copy to one of you goons at random and save you the preorder! I thought about hawking it on craigslist but I'll pay EA's generosity forward.

It gives a lot of starter packs for solos played and sets collected, and runs off an every 50 per reward.

I got an 85 Earl Thomas, the 90 OBJ, and an 85 Jamie Collins for my elites and 7250 coins. I got the 77 Michael Vick from my free pro pack, a good starter.

The objective solos are great, quick 1 to 2 minute affairs that so far aren't eating contracts.

I'm gonna dig into franchise mode now.

Accuracy is huge. I just threw 4 picks with Tebow in cfm and they were about 15 yards off the mark. So, real tebow.

XP via game prep is nerfed into the ground. Smart drafting and FA gonna be a thing.

Currently working on wrapping up my last couple of trophies I never got around to in 15, my owner's legacy score is stuck at 30 points less than Lombardi no matter how many superbowls I win.
