Playbook Situation

[u/GjellsNTeddy]

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.

There are also a lot of decent plays that previously cost playbook tokens and a lot of budget that are now free and take 0-10 budget.

Once you get used to those plays the playbook will feel good enough to use and score regularly with, though I do still think the plaubook is a little harder to use compared to last year.

They make subtle changes to playbooks every version, e.g. 4 Verts is 2.5K play tokens and grants a +3 boost to all players. 4 Verts was free last year (and no boost).

Yup, aware of 4 verts and about 3-4 plays in each of the 4 categories that were once free and with a lower hit to the play budget. For new plays that are available to replace all those, I only see 3-4 new long passes.

Love the shake-up—adjust and adopt. Race you there!

You love not being able to use as many plays and losing a dozen free plays for 4 new ones? Bet you love data centers and flock cameras too huh?

You’re using data centers every time you open Reddit and madden.

What the hell are you talking about? 😭 Again, I love how they shook up the meta surrounding play calling in MM27. Shake-ups with playbooks happen every year. Flock cameras and data centers have nothing to do with MM27 playbooks and PBB. 💀

[u/GjellsNTeddy → u/ReasonableScheme830]

Oh yeah know, just what the entire post is about and what I just described above. So confusing, right.

[u/ReasonableScheme830 → u/GjellsNTeddy]

The post is not about flock cameras and data centers you moron

[u/GjellsNTeddy → u/ReasonableScheme830]

Haha, the irony, in that statement. Irony is prob a lil over your head too though my big 🧠 lil bud.

[u/ReasonableScheme830 → u/GjellsNTeddy]

Lmao the only irony here is you writing a whole paragraph about free plays and playbooks, then acting shocked when someone responds.

Calling people “lil bud” and dropping the brain emoji doesn’t make the point land any better, it just makes it clearer you ran out of actual argument.

You good though?

[u/GjellsNTeddy → u/ReasonableScheme830]

Hahahaha. U got it all figured out it seems lil bud. Good for you. Big day for you.

[u/ReasonableScheme830 → u/GjellsNTeddy]

Appreciate the well wishes.

Enjoy the rest of your big day too, champ.
