I have a feeling that they have an objective planned where you’re going to have to do things with these red bnd cards and get something really good. I could be wrong but hopefully that’s the plan.
Only time we should get BND cards are when they are absolutely free from a pack, when they come out of a set like McDavid as you mentioned, and when they are discounted like the fantasy ones. At any other point cards should be at least untradeable. The sets where you get an 87 OVR BND event card for trading in collectibles should be a choice pack.
It's crazy how much in opposite directions the gameplay and content went with this game. The gameplay is relatively good (AI is still pretty braindead...but the mechanics are at least solid). But the content and the structure of it is horrid, and has been since launch. Sometimes it really feels like they go out of their way to make the game less fun. I don't know if EA will ever learn their lesson that being stingy doesn't make people buy packs. It's like they're terrified of being generous and keeping people playing the game...when that's far more likely to boost sales than this miserly BS that gets worse year after year. The fact that each year, people are giving up on the game earlier and earlier should be all the red flags that they need. But I doubt anything changes.
This is an issue but we have a choice to avoid it completely as insane as it is. I think the bigger issue that every player will face is with the set filling being broken. FINALLY, after months of chasing, made super charged McDavid I dececided like any right minded person to charge him up... The amount of time it takes to trade in cards for xfactor tokens made me so sick...not only did I do this for McDavid, but I also upgraded Nylander and Kucherov as my 2 return bnd players. It took me 20 minutes minimum...so bad. Then we have the pack animations for the captain and icons cards, why are these even in the game? Wouldn't it save space to simply eliminate the animations? I play this game addictivly, could they speed up the process PLEASE!!!
As long as people keep doing the objectives and earning these BND cards they are gonna keep doing it. I haven't done any objectives to earn any of the BND cards and until everyone does that it's gonna keep happening. It's like packs. As long as people keep buying packs they are gonna focus on packs as the focal point on content.
agree all around, though if you trade in the XF capt and get kuch back BND it stinks if you won't be able to trade him in for toty. same with the 86 panarin we all grinded for if he gets toty.
Ea should make some competitive season with BND cards so they become relevant to keep in our collection, per example build a team with a minimum of 10-15 BND cards to get reward packs
If you learned anything from last year towards the end they give u a big fu by being able to buy cards for money . Hence why they have the bound feature so rich people can just buy the card without working for it . That is why bound is here so u don’t ruin the market
EA is messing with us this year, absolute garbage players they give when you do objectives. most cards no one is going to use it + they introduce us BND CARDS, which is more garbage, cant even use them on set neither sell or do something about it, got 3 freaking 88 henrik lunqvist gallery of greats, with 30 collectibles, cant even use them

I agree. Game goes forward a little then 4 steps back.

what cards can i use to complete the bonus objectives
It was probably a mistake by EA and they wanted to put her at 89 and 90. There is no way they voluntarily gave her 79 and 80 attributes .
I think they did. Its meant to completely be a defensive player. For an 86, her defensive stats are amazing though other stats suffer.
@ with that speed and acceleration she could be 99 in every defensive stat and she’d still be ass though.. she’s also extremely small for a d

Keep up the good work dude you speak for us in the community
Tell it how it is henreek. Much respect brother

You are 100% right on all points. I'm simply not going to the Weekly BND card objectives anymore.
Reek we love the ranting

The real shocking thing about Kati Tabin is that her salary is $7M !
Ea told about it, they made an error, it suppose to be be 89 acc 90 speed
You and BurtKrown88 need to make a video together about BND lol
maybe they gonna do a BND competitive seasons???
Not even wasting my time with the bound cards
how about the fantasy Repo card, hes at an 86 with 79 acceleration and 81 speed....why even make hima a fantasy card
I got the Tabin card and then quick sold it
I just quick sell em, wish they give us coins at least for the quick sell
44 fighting skill she’s tougher then McDavid
you should rant more, hut this year is soo trash
I stopped doing the objectives. I'm old and can just buy packs to build MSP's. It's lousy for people that need to play the game to build their teams.
Oh no not 55 passes… 1-2 games bruh chill lol
This game is locked down like a virtual prison.
79!!!!! Thats way overated......
Ea has really stepped it up this year, lots of accountability
