Combine Blitz Event glitch or scam???

SAME THING here! I have never had sooooooo many duplicate collectibles on my bench than I do for this event. I have BURNED through my entire stamina bar almost 100 times and have hundreds of duplicates and STILL NO 40 or 60 yard collectibles have been rewarded. This one event has forced me to stop spending real money on the game as I can now see its purely a SCAM TO GET YOU HARD EARNED MONEY!

Well I'm not sure, but I do know of people who have earned all the cards. 

So my theory is this: 

We all know how hard it was to get domination Sherman with all those duplicate cards, but he had 20. These particular players have 10...twice as rare?

There are some events, like the Combine, where not all cards have equal probability of coming up. Sometimes EA distinguishes between the two probabilities by having a gold level and an elite level, other times they do not. As I write this there are currently 10 McFaddens up for auction, so those cards are being distributed but seemingly at an extremely low rate. Personally, I'll play the Combine Blitz if I have stamina to burn but it's not a MUST have set completion in my books for mid 90s players.

I've played it all morning.  Spent $20 on Madden Cash to refill stamina and kept playing.  I've played it over 100 times today and haven't gotten 1 of the 40 yard dash, 20 or 60 yard shuffle.  Since this live event first came out, I have played it over 1,000 times and I've never gotten even 1 of those three cards.

Yesterday I played the Rising Star live event over 500 times and didn't get 1 rising Star Player.

The day before I played the Game Changers live event over 300 times and didn't get 1 Game Changer.

I'm either the unluckiest guy in the world, or this game is a complete SCAM. 

Another thing I noticed was the Gauntlet Live Event.  You can only play it once each time it comes out, meaning you can't keep playing and keep getting the reward.  Yet somehow, magically I guess, on the first day it came out, the Chancellor and Maxwell players had already been won by some "players" in the game and were being auctioned by them, when it was literally impossible to have won them the first day. 

Complete SCAM, Complete SCAM, Complete SCAM.

WOW I thought mine was bad. I have over 200 duplicates sitting on my bench and I've completed 7/10 of the four sets and still missing the 20, 40 & 60 collectibles. Don't spend real money on this event bro, spend it on something else in the game like packs. Way better odds. I've honestly given up burning through my stamina bar for this event and now just limit myself to 4 attempts then STOP. Complete waste of money and time otherwise.

EVERYONE WHO HAS SPENT REAL MONEY - I may have someone 'inside' the game who has shared how he thinks it is impossible to obtain certain collectibles based on the coding and the way the rewards are given out.  I asked him for proof.  If/when he gets it to me, I will let you know. If you ever paid real money and used it in any way to play the combine, would this be a means to go after EA to get our money back?

I have spent literally $100+ of my own damn money buying Madden Cash to refill stamina so I can keep playing the Darren McFadden Combine Blitz Event. I have played this damn event over and over and over til I'm SICK OF IT trying to get the rewards to cash in and get the 96 rated McFaddeb reward. But I have gotten AT LEAST 10 of EVERY FREAKING CARD EXCEPT 40 Yard Dash and 60 Yard Shuttle!!!! Is this a glitch or just a scam??? It is RIDICULOUS how many DOZENS AND DOZENS of times I have played this stupid event without ever "randomly" getting either of those two cards so I can compete the set. How much freaking money am I supposed to spend on stamina refills before I ever actually get those two cards? This is starting to seem like a SCAM where you never are actually able to complete this set, and this is really starting to irritate me. I'm about to just delete this stupid money-sucking game if I don't get those cards real freaking quick.
