35 Game requirement

Could you guys please lower the amount required for an offensive playbook, why am i forced to win 35 games with a tear 3 team. I am going against way better teams and not to mention the stamina is a bit iffy aswell my players are tired after 2 players doing nothing but covering zones. Please consider this!!

  • Sounds like EA should just put the playbooks behind a paywall at this point because of whiners like you

    TheRealLegend1​ You must work for EA.. gonna charge me for this reply too?? Maybe just let people play the game how they want with the playbook they want since we already bought the game. Those of us who don’t live in our mother’s basement still, don’t have time to grind 35-50 games to unlock a playbook we want to use.

    If Oregon State has a 35 game requirement to unlock its playbook, then my guess is that it's one of the best playbooks in the game and even the devs know it. So either you can play as Oregon State or you can shut it. 

    Overly catering to casuals makes the game worse. Look at all these top 1% players abusing the "reset schedule" feature that's supposed to be for struggling players only.

    That's why I said they should just put it behind a paywall. So casuals can be happy. But at the same time avoiding letting one of the best playbooks in the game be freely available for top 1% players to abuse it.

    You're putting EA in a lose lose situation by trying to get them to lower the difficulty of everything.

    Put it behind a paywall so casuals are happy?! So the 1% players wouldn’t purchase the playbooks and abuse them in that scenario? The reset season feature is getting abused in part because of 35-50 win requirements to get the top books. 

    Casuals are the majority of who purchases these games. Let the casual player have access to a better playbook so they have a better chance of competing. 

    The game is supposed to be about immersion, and fun. It shouldn’t be about beating your head against the wall to get it to a point where it’s fun. Also, once you pay the $70-$100 for the game, it shouldn’t be about purchasing more once inside. 

    If you like Oregon St, good for you, play on. The immersion and fun for me, as I assume for most, is playing as my favorite team, or alma mater. If EA decided to give that school a trash playbook, or one that doesn’t fit the way I want to play, why should I have to WIN 35-50 games as another school I could care less about or even root against in real life?

    It’s a game, let people get their fun and immersion how they see fit. We already spent the money.

    Go play dynasty if you wanna use different playbooks. That's the most immersive game mode.

    The casual player is always gonna suck at Road to CFP.  They should only allow resetting the schedule for players below .500 online.

    You've gotta give EA incentive to make new features. If it isn't your time (achievement based unlocks), then it's going to be your money (micro-transactions).
