The Stories of the Week (SOTW) promo in CFB 25 Ultimate Team has been a mixed bag, with the final content drop leaving much to be desired. In this article, we’ll break down the new cards, sets, and bundles released today, and discuss the potential impact of the upcoming Game of the Week promo and Season 2.

Disappointing Card Releases

The SOTW promo has been underwhelming overall, with the latest content drop being no exception. The new cards include an 88 OVR LTD Outside Linebacker Tyler Grubs, an 87 OVR Punter, and an 87 OVR Halfback Dalan Hayden.

While the LTD card is solid, the non-LTD releases are lackluster. The Punter card is a tough sell, and the Halfback lacks the speed and stats to compete with other options like Judkins.

Expensive Sets and Bundles

The new sets and bundles continue the trend of high costs and low value. The 85+ SOTW Champion pack requires six cards and doesn’t guarantee an 87 or 88 OVR, making it a risky investment.

The 100k CFB 25 Coins packs and $40 85+ pack are also poor value propositions, especially with Season 2 around the corner. The $100 bundle offers a slight improvement with a guaranteed 86+ player, but it’s still not worth the price tag.

Potential Game of the Week Promo

A potential teaser for the upcoming Game of the Week promo was spotted, featuring four impact players for the Florida vs. Miami matchup. This could be a sign of good things to come, with the possibility of 87-88 OVR cards for the featured players.

Looking Ahead to Season 2

With Season 1 coming to a close and Season 2 starting on Thursday, it’s an ideal time to sell off cards that have dropped in value. Popular Stranger plans to release a video soon highlighting cards that have crashed in price, helping players prepare for the new season.

Conclusion

The final SOTW promo drop was a letdown, with underwhelming cards and expensive sets. However, the potential Game of the Week promo and the impending arrival of Season 2 offer hope for better content and value in the near future. As always, it’s best to save coins and avoid packs, instead focusing on acquiring the specific players you need for your team.
