I'm in. Played until 2am. Great game so far.
Loving this game too. It consumes my thoughts!
I've been doing the same thing. I've become a MUT and Draft junkie.
Have been on vacation and catching up at work. Just got it last night have played one franchise game. Will dig into it this weekend and get my MUT started. Hit me up if you want an easy win!
I'm gonna post this here since I doubt there's many left playing the previous year's version of this game. But I just picked up Madden 15 off of EA Access. It's been since college since I've played an EA Sports football game (circa 2002) so it's a steep learning curve, but this is friggin' awesome! MUT is consuming my soul right now. I'm barely into it but I'm already trying to snipe players on the auction house to build up my team. I've played about a dozen of the Training Camp solo challenges and gotten all the packs from the skills trainers, and have my team at about 73 right now with a 24 rating in Short Pass.
Any tips? Other parts of the game I should be checking out? I'm can't put down MUT for the moment but I'm sure there's more to this game that I should see. I might go out and buy '16 just to participate in a more active MUT economy.
I'm so damn new to the gameplay mechanics that I'm not sure it'll matter. I feel like the last time I played a Madden game it was so much more simplistic that it's like I'm playing a completely different game. So many little intricacies in how you move the players around that I'm still just trying to work out in my head what the hell I need to be doing at any given moment.
If I see '16 go on sale I'll snap it up. Do you know if the 10% EA Access discount applies to sale items as well as full-priced?
I'd bite for $36 for sure. I'm a gamer without job right now, though so that's about it.
What have I become? I'm up at 12:30 a.m. flipping kickers and punters on the auction house.
I'd love a smartphone app just to manage my MUT team and work the auctions.
That was my very first thought this morning. My daughter is watching Micky Mouse on Sling TV but I'm sorta tempted to kick her off just to get into Madden to see if my auctions sold overnight. Father of the year material.

Don't they have one? They've had one for FIFA for a while now. All these sports games are seriously testing my "I can't afford one of the new consoles right now" stance
Looks like there's a FIFA Ultimate Team app but that's it.
Picked this up in the xbox live sale. I like MUT on Fifa so giving it ago here, I like it, with the little solo games you can do in a few mintues instead of playing a whole game. One thing though, the bidding on single cards is annoying a) people really over value their cards b) When you do find a card, it doesn't pick up your bidding on them sometimes
Draft Champions mode seems fun, just done my first solo draft and can see myself spending a good amount of time there.
Yeah you can build a team, organising things by buy it now price seems to be the way forward. Just easy to note that some people are crazy when you look at the prices, almost everything is at the top with no bids. I know why they do it, if you get some sucka, you're set up for life. I remember getting Dani Alvez on Fifa MUT once, sold him for 120,000 coins and never had to worry about it again since I didn't want all the crazy players.
Alas since I have a new gamertag on Xbox now, I only have one friend on my friend's list and he doesn't play Madden.
I will do that. Got all nostigic there and was flipping through the old Madden 11/12 league threads. Some fun times there, getting beat up by Zell every time we played.
So what is yalls philosophy on early game teambuilding? I have a 78 OVR team (41 GP style) and I just pulled a 90 OVR TOTW Bradley Roby from the Championship Pack I got for beating the weekly Super Bowl TOTW series of challenges. He's by far my most valuable card and some of the feedback from MUTHead is that he's actually a really good player to line up at CB. But should I sell him for $80K and build up the rest of my team?
I wish I knew an easy way to link my lineup here. I have a pretty solid mid-80s O-line, an 88 Brees at QB, an 87 Barry Sanders at RB, an 87 TY Hilton as my WR1. My D-line stinks but my secondary is amazing.
Yeah I dipped into DC today and had some fun. Still randoms who decide to go for it on 4th and way long but at least the teams are balanced. Played 2, 1:1 at the moment but both games there was just one score in it.
I like the footie sticker album feel of MUT though, and those solos are fun to play, if annoying at times.
Edit - in regards to selling your top players, remember to check if the cards are going for those prices, there are aload of people who over value stuff and get zero bids on their cards. 80,000 is a lot though and you could build a decent team of good players just not big fancy names. On Fifa MUT I was set up when I sold Alves for 120,000 coins, made a very good team at all levels and also some weird concept teams, like ex Leeds players and such.
