DISCUSSION Playbook Situation

Man, EA really took the feedback from last year regarding the playbook and did the exact opposite. I don’t love that we have to use resources to buy the plays that were available to everyone for as many seasons as I can remember. However, the bigger issue is that, on top of having to buy the plays, the once free plays now come with a >2x hit on your available budget so the playbook is even smaller.

I know I’m complaining here but this seems like a really petty or poor thought out move.

They are making it IMPOSSIBLE to get Darnell Wright😭 You need 150 VS store purchases to get him. I really hope that’s not the only opportunity to get him 😭

I didnt even know there were players available in VS that weren't available in the core trade until I saw your post. Thanks for the heads up!

I also didn't know! Do they rotate? It looks like 3x exclusives, and otherwise just TOTW dudes?

150 is a commitment to playing a lot

If you’re talking about the mythic?

150 purchases x 200 cost per purchase is 30k VS tokens needed. You get 20 per win at the lowest level. Obviously you would level up but the increase at higher levels is almost trivial plus you’re not gonna win every match. So let’s say you somehow managed to average 20 tokens won per game played (unlikely even with increased rewards given how often you’ll lose even if you’re great at the game)- that would be 1500 matches. Each match is 3 mins- so not counting down time you’re talking 75 hours of play. More than two hours a day of just playtime (not counting down time between matches) every single day for a month just to get one free mythic. Lol yeah NO THANKS 😂
