@Neo_Novalis I think this promo is set to keep the market at a respectable place and not let it tank to bad. The players are going to be much better with the second release of the 50 players this week, hopefully this is where you see the Randy Mosses and the Ed Reeds, etc. The guys who are actually fun and actually made an impact in Madden. It sucks that EA makes you wait for the good cards but you at least know they are coming at some point. The prices are only going to get more expensive with the better cards coming so there is nothing you really can do but wait for the prices to drop unfortunately.
@TheRebel31 yes, I really hope that prices will drop somewhen. but it is really frustrating to wait weeks till you are able to afford a new item. while there were many The 50 players usable for a 49ers theme team (most likely too many?), there were almost no 49ers in other promos so far (except legends, where it is somehow similar in terms of prices. at least players could gain the PU by playing). in Most Feared there was just Raheem Mostert so far...
but as I said in my previous post, I'm still not sure whether I like The 50 promo. it is certainly whining on a high level, as other teams are probably even worse off. for me, an important aspect of playing this mode (in order to have fun) is somehow compromised by the fact that the promos are quite unbalanced in terms of theme teams. while some promos are really nice that you have to save for a long time to get all the players for your team (because you can't get them by playing the promo alone), other promos do not contain a single item. a little continuity would probably be a lot more fun.
@Neo_Novalis I brought this up in a Muthead chat when Scary fast dropped and yet a lot of players did not get cards that should have got cards, but it seemed like the same teams that always gets cards got new items or upgrades. I’m thinking that once the Christmas promo hits or even the Blitz promo, the market may come down enough to that a lot of those cards will become affordable. EA mentioned team standout powerups would go into packs and yet powerups are non existent and they are still going for 100k plus.
This is so freaking sad how terrible the drops are. People want to build theme teams and we can’t cause all you guys do is drop players with the same Chems consistently. For example: Titans have Tyrone Calico, Steve Hutchinson, Jevon Keare, Kevin Mawae, Avery Williamson, Albert Haynesworth, Jared Cook, etc...give other people a chance to build it’s not fair at all. Do better Madden please I’ve had it.

You are right, my mistake. Too many irons in the fire this morning. Thank you.
