Had multiple CPU drafted players with numbers like 8 on WRs or 15 on MLBs.

The game starts off with the first level of perks for the home team, and every play (the bigger the play, the bigger the influence) has an effect on the momentum bar.
Picture it like below, H meaning Home team perk, A meaning Away team perk.
A->A->(H)->H->H
After a big play for the home team it could move to unlock the second tier of perks for the home team.
A->A->H->(H)->H
But wait! The away team just got a pick six swinging the momentum their way!
A->(A)->H->H->H
Perks are things like disabling hot routes for primary receivers, delayed motion, play art hints, primary receiver hints, etc. The higher the tier of perk, the more powerful the perk. Nothing game-breaking though, which is good.

Sixty fucking dollars just for updated rosters and a 17 game schedule. For some stupid reason that's worth it to me, I didn't need any new features. And I can't even play the fucking games. Fuck these people.

Seriously, I'm so fucking pissed. I haven't seen one place online where EA has addressed this issue. I have limited free time and one of the few things I like doing with it is running through franchise mode. It's therapeutic and shit. I finished a run with the dolphins in June on m21, and thought to myself, I'll just wait till August to start another franchise mode since the new game will have the 17 game seasons. So I've been stoked about this for 2 months. I even carved out a bunch of time this weekend to play. I'm very stingy with money so 60 bucks was a big commitment here. I should have just gone to a fucking royals game with the money and then atleast when my team finishes with 0 I'm not shocked. Fuck EA.
