What is your Player Leveling Up Strategy?

Found my latest ‘huh’ part of the App … if I want to land a red key from one of the two bonuses listed in Genesis 5, I need to have a Level 40+ Defensive Tackle.  40!  I did some mental math and quickly figured out that I cannot achieve a Level 40 player without putting in a significant amount of cash into this App.  Real … world 🌎 … cash 💵 

I’ve been playing this app since 2014 and haven’t ever been this limited in what I’m allowed to play based on whether I was willing to put money into my phone for it.  We haven’t even started the bulk of Week 1 of the regular season in the NFL and I can’t play most paths anymore because I don’t have the resources to build to these levels.

Blueberry please tell us there are massive revamps coming to resources.  Even the Training Center is practically no help now.  I need thousands of patches and flags and stuff I still don’t even see as rewards to raise a dude to 40.  The Training Center gives me like 12 patches when I need hundreds after Level 22.

So should I stop playing?  I login and look at repeatable events like the Kickoff Offense and Defense, cash out my stamina and wait.  I finished the Tour and those rewards no longer apply to my progress since I obtained the current Master.  Since Training Center and Tour were the only places besides Divisions to use stamina, now what?  I’m a Browns fan and so I’m aiming at Tier 6 in Divisions, but if I don’t get thousands of tokens in rewards, I can’t do anything with that either.  And you only get thousands when you complete a tier challenge.  It takes 4,000 tokens to get the two conference packs and then the Mega Pack … that rewards a rare 🤦🏽‍♂️

What are free play people supposed to do now? As long as I stay under 3,000 OVR/Power, I can win Arena regularly, but as soon as I get to the next section of Arena, I’m hosed as was mentioned previously.

So how do I level guys up so I can keep playing?  And building these Epic players for S1 just to keep progressing through the chain?  I have no options right now.  If there’s no way to get more stamina without throwing 250MC for the first refill, how in the heck am I going to play enough events to get a handful of parts sparingly to build rare parts to then build Epic parts?  Honestly, was it just the expectation that us free guys (what’s up Ryan Reynolds) weren’t supposed to be able to complete most event chains?  Blueberry, You’ve been a straight shooter throughout the last couple years, and so I respect your candor.  Can you drop some knowledge on us?

@itsmraj2uFrom what I’ve read and learned regarding this new format is “if it ain’t broken why fix it”??? Lol
It’s designed for you to spend real $$ otherwise you/me will never fully complete the 3 week games…., ever! I bought both Passes and I’m stuck on AFC/NFC, Season 1, NORTH, South, East and West because you can’t level any players above 30+ OVR until you finish the AFC/NFC Challenges and they’re are so codependent on each other in leveling up!

Hawskee suggested what I knew but didn’t want to realize is pick one event and focus on it until completion, but like I said they’re all interdependent on each other so I play to the Goals, do LVL and come back in four hours to Pete and repeat playing very few games in a day.
My issue is the season just started and we’re already ramped up to Epic Players.
Hawskee gonna drop in and answer you though! Hang in there man you’re not alone!

@lkbroach  Tour is complete, got the Aaron Donald and he’s starting after a few level ups.  Grinding S1 but it takes its own stamina, waiting now on a 10th 2-star or a 13th player, which would now need to be Epic and building those just doesn’t happen.  The drop rates for parts is horrible.  

I’m fine with focusing on one promo, but that’s where I’m at and I’m getting nowhere now 🤦🏽‍♂️  If I don’t get Devonta Smith, I can’t get whatever 100 Jewels gives me from Kickoff.  I’m not sure I see a path to forcing Devonta Smith to happen either.  If you figured that one out, lemme know 😎

Thanks for the encouragement.  Who knew I’d need it being a middle aged adult, huge fan of an NFL team and a consistently regular player⁉️

😂 I downloaded that thing and I’ve tried it several times, never figured it out and never had any beneficial assistance 😳

I am 31 is that old 

Ikr now the promo player aren't even list like last season
