Re: Elite pull rates

@Bird0662They can't prove you wrong. I'm not sure what coding they use to determine elite pulls or if it's lower for p2p players or not, but this Bo Jackson fiasco was kinda shady if you ask me.
Instead of just posting a 100.00 pack to get Bo, like they normally would, they tied a carrot to stick and led us donkeys into some very expensive territory.
I saw one guy buy 153 all pro packs and pulled Bo on the 146th pack. All pro packs are 10 bucks a piece, you do the math.
And I know that he wasn't the only one who spent like that. So if EA made more money on this little experiment they did with Bo than they normally would have, excpect more garbage like this.
Hopefully those high spenders will smarten up and realize there are no cards in the game worth that kind of money and stop spending so much so we don't continue to get overcharged for nothing.

I mean in my opinion, there's no card in the game worth 100.00. I can win with the cards I earn. I do spend about 50 to 60 bucks a month because that's my entertainment budget, but I can get more out of that 60 bucks if I spend it on the right things than just 1 card that will be obsolete in a month.

Agree 100% , I spend about the same , sometimes more . I usually buy the starter packs to promos . I guess their business model is working for them , as they're still in business, but i would think people would be more likely to spend with better pull rates , but what do I know. Pretty sure I'm dine spending though , not that they'll miss my dollars , but what we're given to grind is good enough .

@Bird0662 in the past I spent a decent amount. after being burnt by ea I rarely spend now. every once in a while I'll buy a pack but only if what I want is guaranteed in that pack.

@Sp3w4567 We work hard for our money, and we would like to get some return on our investment in the game. They could have at least increased the elite pull rate in those packs so that those that did spend money on it at least felt like they got something out of it. One guy in my league spent about 100 bucks buying all plro packs and the highest card he pulled was a 78 ovr... How was that worth it. Now he's burnt on it and refuses to spend another dime. Not because he didn't get Bo, but because he didn't get anything of value for his money.
They charge ungodly amounts of money for a virtual product... They are making crazy profits for items they can create with a few keystrokes. The least they can do is make us feel lime we're at least getting something for our money.
