You can try and snipe WR talent specifically in the Auction House. Do a search for WR at the skill level you want (say 85-99) and the price you want to pay (Buy It Now). They drop new players every five minutes, so you can sometimes get really good players cheap if you are quick enough.Just started playing - team is currently 80 overall, 78 offense, 84 defense, 70 special teams. Son got me hooked, now we're competing to see who can put together the most powerful team. Biggest problem is getting WR talent...
No, you can actually play the game.is this a simulation game?
Who else is in for a FBG league in this?Reboot of the game is in full effect, with everyone starting over on the 19th. Good time to get in the game while everyone is at the same starting point.
I'm in a pretty good league of old pot smokers right now. The leader searched for weed terms and found me. But would be willing to move for an FBG league. I think it would be a lot more fun, plus the board would be valuable in helping out each other. The chat screen on the game sux.Who else is in for a FBG league in this?Reboot of the game is in full effect, with everyone starting over on the 19th.

You can play and have fun without spending real money. Madden Coins you earn for winning season games, completing live events, winning head-to-head games. With the Coins you can buy Pro Pack and other special Packs that come out. You can also bid on players in the Auction House. You can also sell players in the Auction House for coins. The majority of the game's economy revolves around Madden Coins.Can someone give me a quick tutorial?
I started playing and it's pretty fun, but I'm a little confused. I don't want to spend any real money on this, so is it possible to play and compete without micro transactions?
I did earn a pack already and got Todd Gurley so that was pretty cool.

Madden Cash is what you get with real money. With cash you can buy bigger, better packs and build up a better team faster. But what is the fun in that?
The challenge is in grinding, making your team better a little bit at a time and just having fun playing the game.
If you have any specific questions, just fire away. Someone will answer.
Upgrading. It gets harder as it gets going. I also suspect that some of the teams in the head to head haven't yet started for this season. Once they start putting their defensive strategies in - and once you get to later levels where half the plays are countered - it gets harder.ThanksYou can play and have fun without spending real money.

Do players get better or do you just keep upgrading?
Also so far it seems easy. I've got 7 games going and haven't been stopped yet.
I hear the auction house is still buggy - lots of people reporting same thing as you, and then getting their coins back hours later. I'm having a similar issue with a game where I should have gotten the Browns coin for the game tomorrow night but it didn't show up.I thought I won an auction - I ended as the high bid on Blake Bortles for $4700 coins. It went into pending - now it's been like an hour and I don't have Bortles or my coins back? What's the deal?
Gotcha, I'll hold off and accumulate.I hear the auction house is still buggy - lots of people reporting same thing as you, and then getting their coins back hours later.

My advice - save your powder. The auction house pricing is in flux and you are much more likely to get screwed as you are to get a deal. I'm planning on limiting my purchasing to elites only when I do start buying.

Yep - almost everyone goes for two almost every time.Gotcha, I'll hold off and accumulate. I made a mistake - I started like 8 games and scored on the first drive on each. I'm realizing though that I should have gone for two because each one that's come back so far has an 8-7 score in their favor.I hear the auction house is still buggy - lots of people reporting same thing as you, and then getting their coins back hours later.

I started a league called "Season Score Chasers" last year. We will play tournaments most days (a tournament is three offensive drives long, vs. a different league). Would love to fill it up with you guys vs. randoms.I just started this last night. Its fun so far. I'm in for a league if anyone else is.
I've been making small upgrades, basically looking for players 65+ for BIN under 1000.
If you keep declining them and don't challenge anyone, eventually they pull you off the board.How do I make myself not open to challenges? I log back in and have like 40 game invites waiting.
We get about 90 percent attendance in my current league, which makes it easier to win, we are 9-1. But the Commish is a 63 year old pothead who is on a childish power trip. Looking for another league that plays tourneys everyday.What's up with people not playing their league games...at least give a heads up
I'm commish of my league - we run tournys every day. Season Score Chasers - come on down. We're about .500 right now, but have had a lot of no shows lately. I'm cleaning the league out of the non-players this weekend.Bogart said:We get about 90 percent attendance in my current league, which makes it easier to win, we are 9-1.

how much are you buying and selling for?Flipping these mystery boxes is making me some coins
Those cool million quicksells do not come along often. Nice snag this early in the game.Have team up to 81 overall and recently won a $1 million quicksell (large quicksell set). Starting to spend a little money - but trying to wait for the 95+ player cards to come out.
Have you tried for a more reasonable BIN? I find last season with trophies that sometimes people would stretch a little to get the auction over with. Based on your numbers, I'm going to try a few at 5k/6.5k, 1,500/2,500 and 500/1k and will report back.Early into the season I am at 82 Overall (85 Offense/82 Defense/74 Special). A 500,000 Large Quicksell gave me a nice head start.
Think I am going to grind on Pro-Packs from here on out, and just figure my luck with LQS will fall back to the mean.
7500 for a pro-pack. Auction your gold player for 5000 min with a BIN of 111,111 (hoping for fat fingers). Silvers auction for 1500 min (BIN 11,111) and bronze for 500 min (11,111). That's 9000 min once they all sell, minus the 900 for the auction house fee, that give you 600 profit for every Pro-Pack at the very min. You have to be patient if they don't sell and list again, but I promise they eventually will sell.
I'd spend $15k on gold Chris Johnson the only 3 backs I'd take over him are LT Terrell Davis or flashback CJ2K.nobody is spending 5k on gold players unless its a qb.
I am rolling with McKinnon.DMXATF23 said:I'd spend $15k on gold Chris Johnson the only 3 backs I'd take over him are LT Terrell Davis or flashback CJ2K.Speed is moneybigmarc27 said:nobody is spending 5k on gold players unless its a qb.
I have had three gold players go so far for the 111,111 BIN price. Until I get nothing, I'm going to keep it that way.Have you tried for a more reasonable BIN?

My 80+ players are going for a min of 7500, O-line players in the upper 70s are going to 6-7000 easily. Had an 83 WR and 83 TE both gold, both go for over 10K this morning.bigmarc27 said:nobody is spending 5k on gold players unless its a qb.
I have been using McKinnon since the beginning and loving what he does. I do have a 77 Knile Davis and 75 Chris Johnson on my bench, the only golds I don't auction off just as soon as I get them. Want to see which of the three is best. While Davis only has 92 Speed compared to the other two having 94 Speed, he does have 90 Trucking which would work well on the Obstacle Course Live Events.I am rolling with McKinnon.DMXATF23 said:I'd spend $15k on gold Chris Johnson the only 3 backs I'd take over him are LT Terrell Davis or flashback CJ2K.Speed is moneybigmarc27 said:nobody is spending 5k on gold players unless its a qb.
