For anyone looking to build their roster, flip cards for profit, or gamble their training to chase the first 94 OVR LTD quarterback of the year, this week is big. Let's break down the cards, the market impact, and a full journey into opening hundreds of thousands of training worth of packs to see just how profitable this drop can be.
Mean Joe Greene LTD: Good, Not Great… But Upgrade Potential Looms CFB 26 Coins
Today's first LTD is Mean Joe Greene, currently sitting at 93 OVR, though likely to become a 94 OVR after the upcoming bump. On paper, he's solid:
85 Speed
89 Power Move
81 Finesse Move
These aren't game-breaking stats, especially compared to some of the dominant interior linemen we've seen recently. But the real draw here is ability access. Mean Joe can earn gold-tier abilities, which helps offset his middling finesse stats.
Still, this isn't the LTD stealing the show. That honor goes to another big name…
Diego: The First Potential 94 OVR LTD QB of the Year
This is the card everyone is chasing.
Diego arrives with:
90 Speed
93 Throw Power
Good short/mid accuracies
88 Deep Accuracy (lower, but doesn't matter much in gameplay)
If the overall bump hits Tuesday, Diego becomes:
91 Speed
94 Throw Power
…turning him into one of the top quarterbacks in the entire game.
Ability Costs: The Real Deciding Factor
Ability pricing may determine whether Diego becomes a top-tier meta QB:
Gold Dot-8 AP
Compare that to Braxton's 7 AP
Kellen Moore can run it for 6 AP
Silver Dot-4 AP
Even with slightly higher AP costs, Diego is shaping up to be one of the most expensive LTDs in the game. The demand is high, the timing is perfect, and people are ready to rip packs to try their luck.
Preparing for the Pack Chase: Saving Natty Packs & Buying Training
Instead of ripping everything instantly, the strategy was smart:
Save the NAT packs for after Tuesday's overall bump.
With eight saved already-and more incoming from daily grinds-stacking NAT packs might be the best coin-per-value play right now.
Alongside that, training was purchased early, landing a massive stockpile:
300,000 training available for live rolls
The plan?
Rip through every meaningful option-Blue Chip, Conference Tour, RanksGiving-and see how the value shakes out.
Warm-Up Packs: Surprisingly Solid Early Hits
Before heading to the big rolls, the warm-up packs delivered some nice value:
92 Overall pulls
91 Joseph Williams
90 Prince
A flood of solid 87-90 OVR fodder
One highlight was a full Stars of the Week pull, plus a 91-speed CJ Allen, which is absolutely usable at this point in the season.
Then came the bigger bundle packs:
Multiple 87+ rolls
More 90 OVR pulls
A standout 89 Deshawn Spears, an extremely reliable card that will instantly see field time once upgraded
No LTDs yet-but the warm-ups brought good value and set the stage for the real chase: training rolls.
Training Rolls: Blue Chip vs Conference Tour vs RanksGiving
Choosing which rolls to dump training into is key.
Blue Chip
Pros:
Lower number of 92 OVRs → better chance at valuable hits
Access to exclusive LTDs like Kamari Ramsey
Cons:
Odds feel worse than expected
Many 92s carry low market value
Conference Tour
Pros:
Some 92s are extremely pricey
McCoy → 440,000 coins
Center → 280,000 coins
Higher chance of recouping coins
Cons:
Very wide pool of players
Lots of "trash-tier" 92s with no resale value
RanksGiving
Pros:
Rocket and a few others can be massive hits
Cons:
Horrible value overall
Many players report terrible odds
High risk, low rewardChasing More Heat: Additional Rolls and More Wins
Following the LTD, the rolls continued across Blue Chip and Conference Tour:
Notable Hits:
Gavin-quick 250K coins
Multiple 92s worth 200K+
Consistent mid-tier players perfect for building more training or quick-selling for more rolls
Another McKenna at 345K-another major win
Conference Tour showed stronger average value than Blue Chip, although Blue Chip delivered the largest single win of the day.
RanksGiving rolls-just as expected-were brutal, returning almost nothing of value. After a single test that ended in disappointment, the decision was made to abandon them entirely until the next program drop.
Final Rolls and Final Wins
With the last of the 300K training on deck, the rolls continued with a few more swings at Blue Chip:
More 92 OVRs
More training recoup
A few borderline break-even results
And on the very last roll of the entire session…
McKenna hits again → 345,000 coins.
The perfect way to end a long rolling session.
A Surprisingly Profitable Pack-Opening Day
Across hundreds of thousands of training, the overall results were strong:
1 LTD Ramsey (1.3M coins)
Multiple mid-tier 92 OVR hits
Several top-value 92s (McKenna, Gavin, etc.)
Huge amounts of training recouped
Usable cards like CJ Allen and Deshawn Spears
Even factoring in some bad rolls and RanksGiving losses, the session was a major W.
Looking Ahead: The Overall Bump Changes Everything
Tuesday's potential OVR bump will dramatically change the value of:
Saved NAT packs
Current LTDs CFB 26 Coins for sale
High OVR players in the market
The entire training roll ecosystem
Saving packs until then is easily the smartest play. With eight NAT packs stacked already-and more coming from daily rewards, wins, and streams-the returns next week could be huge.
Final Thoughts
Season 4's LTD drop delivered excitement, value, and one of the biggest QB chases in CFB 26 to date. Whether you're rolling training, stacking NAT packs, flipping the market, or upgrading your team, this is one of the best weeks of the season to get active.
The overall bump will shake up the market even further-so stay patient, stay smart, and keep chasing those Ws.
