Salary cap was the best. You had to think. Not just buy every card. You’re a runner? Your team reflected it. You run bunch? Your team reflected it. This is all a money grab now. Nobody wants to watch two guys using the same 22 dudes
This is very sad to see as someone that got in to Madden because of the MCS. There was only 517 players this tournament to qualify for the elimination stage.
For reference, the elimination stage is supposed to be 544 players, meaning that there wasn’t even enough of eligible players to fill the bracket.
You could have played 15 games and lost all of them (-15) and qualified for this tournament. 27 people could have done that.
Honestly I don’t know what is directly causing this other than the price of MUT, but this is very sad to see. I’m genuinely wondering what could save the MCS at this point. I’m thinking regs could possibly be the solution, but not sure if EA would even want that.
Would love to hear others thoughts…

Your family migrated here 20 years ago, and you only became a citizen five years ago. So, at some point, you or your family may have navigated the very immigration system you’re now supporting politicians who want to make even more restrictive?
This is exactly why I keep telling y’all that this performative POC/Black solidarity is bullshit. Shared racial identity does not automatically mean shared values, political interests, or collective consciousness. I’d much rather engage politically with a white person who understands the issues and recognizes what’s at stake than blindly align myself with someone simply because they’re a person of color. Being marginalized doesn’t automatically make you politically informed, empathetic, or committed to the liberation of others.
Niv Agaram immigrated to the U.S. with her family about 20 years ago. After becoming a U.S. citizen, she first voted for President Trump and Vice President JD Vance. She asked Vance about the administration’s immigration policies and his rhetoric surrounding immigrants.
“I don't think it's unreasonable for an American citizen to want to share their community with people they have something in common with,” Vance said. “And I think our immigration system has to build that.
“Masked Israeli settlers” you mean terrorists
Masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers on Friday, setting olive groves on fire and slinging rocks.
Caught in the attack was Post photographer Heidi Levine. “They just kept kicking me and kicking me, like probably 50 times,” Levine said. wapo.st/4yt6dHY

14 years ago today, Freddie Gibbs was gifted an AK-47 while touring in Moscow, Russia 🇷🇺 (2012)
"When I got to Russia, they straight gave me an AK-47, and I was like, what am I gonna do with this? I don't wanna get caught with this, go to no Russian jail.
And they was like no, no, no, you Gangsta Gibbs, you need to have this. So cuz I'm Gibbs, they just felt like I just needed an AK-47 with me at all times and I was like, okay, cool."

That is exactly what I want to hear and how I want It said.
HAYES: You really seem like you don't like the guy.
OSSSOFF: I don't like bigotry. I don't like the Klan. I don't like neo-nazis. I don't like sitting members of congress who allow neo-nazi propaganda to be produced from their house. I don't accept that a sitting member of congress should appoint people to leadership roles in his political organization, with documented ties to the Ku klux Klan. It's not just the folks around Mike Collins, it's Mike Collins himself.

When we started responding to Russia’s operation against our data centers, and when our strikes reached Yandex’s data centers, it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. A lot of people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations.
Because there were fewer bots. And it’s pretty clear where those bots were coming from – if they disappeared when Yandex went offline. This proves, again and again, that Europe is not the source of the problems. Europe is not the one making everything more difficult.
Most importantly, we need people in America, every morning, when the day in Europe is already moving toward evening, to really see what is happening. To see the truth.

If there were an award for lies, hatred, and blood libels, Navi Pillay wouldn’t just be a contender. She’d be a frontrunner.
Her role in the relentless, politically motivated demonization of Israel and promotion of the genoLIE speaks volumes.
Awarding Pillay the Nobel Peace Prize isn’t a recognition of justice. It’s the grotesque weaponization of an award to legitimize anti-Israel hatred and prejudice.
Now that the Nobel commission has rewarded the biggest lie of the 21st century, Joseph Goebbels is certainly applauding from hell.

M17 and M18 were Peak
I was in LA, Orlando, Houston, Vegas, Minnesota. Madden was on ESPN and NFL Network. I was at the Superbowl, The Pro Bowl and the NFL Honors.
Truly Blessed ❤️
MCS Will get back to that Level soon
Ranking My FAVORITE MCS years.
This doesn't include 16/17 as I had no involvement. In Madden 18 I was just a viewer. This has nothing to do with my performance but more of a vibe/aura that the year felt it had.
1. Madden 21 (Clubs was aura)
2. Madden 20 (Idk why but 10 capping was fun, also peak gaming with covid)
3. Madden 22 (New Format, King Henry)
4. Madden 18 (As a viewer I loved ultimate league, start of clubs)
5. Madden 25 (King Fancy)
6. Madden 23 (Don't have too much to say about it)
7. Madden 19 (First year playing, was just happy)
8. Madden 26 (Felt stale)
9. Madden 27 (If I speak I'm In Big Trouble)
