    Coach XP Boost Packs too expensive

    Some of the coach xp boost packs are way too expensive.

    For example, I can understand the WR, and CB being that expensive, because you get important players all getting xp for the one price.

    But why do I have to buy each individual pack for the same price for a guard, safety, linebacker, etc?

    Why not have a Linebacker XP pack, rather than splitting it up MLB ROLB LOLB.

    And a LT/RT pack, rather than having to buy a LT then a RT

    By my 4th+ season of CCM I won't be able to afford all the packs and I don't think that's right.

    Not to mention I'd like by the 4th or 5th year to have the scouting package as well, and that is also very expensive.

    prioritize. I have zero problems with the system as is if we are going to have this system (which I don't really like at all)

      It's because different position within the same group may have completely different assignments.

      Like with LB's, The MLB and OLB's have completely different assignments. In a 3-4 OLB's rush the passer while the MLB usually just sits back and reads the defense.

      Same thing with Tackles. The LT is usually the best pass blocker while the RT is the best run blocker.

        But all the pack does is boost the amount of XP a positions gets. So if a OLB gets a different XP boost than a MLB, the boost pack just multiplies what they already have. At least that's what I think it should do.

            It's a 30 year career mode, not a 4 year one.

              You don't know how good of a coach he is! He deserves to be a master of all positions right now. Not being able to get BONUS pts for each player by 4 seasons is insulting!

                If you think about it like this it makes a little more sense, to my mind anyway.

                It takes a few drafts and several seasons' worth of reflection to be dubbed a draft guru. Jimmy Johnson got that reputation, but it didn't come overnight; it was the result of several years of HOF production by a few of his draftees.

                It also takes a while to build credibility as a negotiator or as a charismatic figure who can keep guys around instead of having them hit the market. Some players love a coach so much that they'll take a big pay cut to play under them for the long haul, but that's not usually a level of respect accorded to rookie coaches.

                That's the way I see it. I'm going to have to put out solid HC production for 3-5 years before I'm established as a legitimate force, which I think is pretty realistic. By that point I'll be able to purchase the appropriate packs for my coach type. I'm Walsh, so I'll save up and hit the Scouting Points pack, which will take at least two years to save for, but then I'll be able to make much smarter decisions on draft day, so to me the cost in time is made up for by the long term benefit.

                Just my .02.

                  Giants' GM Jerry Reese was berated at the start of last season for letting some big-name players get away and instead relying on the system. A season later, he has a Super Bowl ring and looking through his drafts, the WORST draft he had was when he picked one of the top receivers in the league and a LT who (if he can stay healthy) is the unquestioned starter for the Giants. He's been the GM since 2008 and his amazing drafts haven't really been noticed until now (which of course makes sense considering it takes time for the players to develop or fall apart).

                    Enjoy this set up. It going take time to be a legacy coach

                      i bought all the boost packs by the beginning of my second season. i think they could be to cheap or the price is right. seems to me you just want to boost ovr and complain.

                        Scouting package is a waste. 2,000 scouting points a week is plenty. There is no need to scout every single player. I scout 3-4 players around my first 4 draft picks then just sort by intangibles on the unscouted be usually 5-7th rounders in Madden never become starters. I still have a few thousand left when I'm done scouting.

                        Spending QB XP boost is pointless to me as well. I buy for what position needs progression faster. For example with the Saints, I buy RE and C to boost Martez Wilson and my drafted C.

                          you know how many defensive starters i got in the 5-7 rounds that are all 84 and up, you can find the some of the best players late your philosophy is wrong, but i do agree that the scouting pack is useless you get more than enough to scout the whole draft if you wanted to.

                            What's the best to draft? 5,000 is way to much to find out what type of player he I'll be. What's your approach to getting good players in draft

                              draft everyone by awr its only 25 points and it means the probably have high skills or once you get high skills there ovr skyrockets,

                              so scout the awr and if it is a b or higher scout some other traits and the fit your scheme and Boom you find the best players, i never drafted a bust in 5 seasons , i leave the draft with the best draft every year.
