Combine still on top vs roh?

Season 7 will bring a big reduction in AP to get people off the OP Combine cards... maybe 8 on Offense and 11 on defense.  Then everyone will move onto the Ring of Honor cards.

hate to say it… it won’t matter

FS: Hooker (1) DZKO + MZKO

SS: Simmons (1) DZKO + MZKO

CB: Jones (0) DOZKO + MZKO + FZKO

CB: Peterson (0) DOZKO + MZKO + FZKO

Sub: Jenkins (1) Reinforcements + FZKO

Sub: Parsons (1) MZKO + FZKO

That’s only 4 ap…   

ROH are only OP till the end of the month until those extra buckets get hit. Combine are end game cards, they messed up making them this good.

I think you're right... I didn't see that the 0 AP buckets on ROH cards were only a week long.

I only read your post and replied, I didn't realize everyone pretty much said the same thing. My bad, I hope the visual helped.

Not saying this cards are bad, I personally think that only The offensive linemen might be the only must have until we see what those ROH buckets get nerfed too.

Tier 2 and 3 Buckets at 0 and I believe tier 4 at minus 3. Mack for example gets All Day + Post Up + Secure for 0 ap. Thats end game.

Idk the host literally read the ROH ability buckets and it was just all regular abilities for zero ap until 3/27.

He did not read the xfactor bucket at all. So possible "roh unstoppable" charge up xfactors.

Wait 0AP until 3/27 only? What the hell?

Eagles215 said:

I mean its nice they get a shit load of zero ap abilities but does that really matter vs xfactor base abilities for 3-4ap? This gmm reveal is also terrible and confusing. The guy doesnt even wanna talk about abilities. Never mentioned xfactors at all or if they start on/off like aka. Still cool cards tho.

Theres probably a lot more to this program but as usual the reveal is minimum information and the host himself is confused.

A shit load of 0ap abilities that only last for 7 days. Big time scam.

Can run combine until easter if you wanted to

You think they're going to REDUCE overall ability points, not increase? Anything to base that on, or pure speculation? 

The additional three 0AP buckets on RoH only last a week. I'm highly suspicious of EA doing anything meaningful to change the game this late in the year.

They messed up releasing infinite tokens, that was clearly a mistake. I assume they meant to sell us a handful of tokens, maybe one for coins and one for Training, or perhaps four total... took them a while to figure out the mistake and fix it. 

Sucks for everyone else who doesn't have a full team of Combine players, but I fully intend to keep using many of these cards until May. Last year I ran 70/70 Superbowl theme team for MONTHS. They're the best cards available, highly doubtful that changes today, unless/until we start getting X-factors as passive abilities.

Serious question, how do we improve upon 3AP Universal Coverage or 4AP Colossus? We don't, unless they're 1-2AP... which could legit take until June. There aren't any abilities better than that. Stats are capped at 99, so they can continue dropping as many magic golden "99" ratings on cards and tricking the weak minded fools into thinking they're elite, but some of us actually understand how this game works. 

I'm salty over the number of morons that showed up in Emmanuel Sanders comments thread coping over the fact they pissed away 4-5M coins (essentially $100 USD) on a card that isn't much better than the free S06 Devin Hester. Oof. 🤡

Trying to help inform kids, but apparently knowledge isn't the power I seem to think it is, there's always that guy who is laser focused on Play Recognition, or some other bullshit, meaningless stat.

They have done it last year and before that. They like to reduce ap to get people off high ap xfactor cards and dump coins/$ into zero ap cards.

Its live.

Cards have no xfactors as abilities or good ones in xfactor bucket

That’s a whole other issue you brought up… their are levels to the Mut community. I don’t talk much but when I do, I try to educate.

Just past practice... they do that sort of thing to get people to turn over their teams.  But as someone else pointed out already... the Combine cards are OP without needing a lot of AP.  So I think they're just gonna stay on my team for a long time.

I continually make the mistake of trying to play "simulation" football, while the majority of kids appear to be playing Madden... and these two things are clearly not the same.  In simulation you punt on 4th and 29, especially from your own end of the field.  However, in Madden, special teams isn't really a thing, barely exists.  In my version of simulation football, we try to run a basic scheme on offense then adjust to what the opponent shows us on defense.  In Madden, you basically just call the same play every single down, no matter what.  Because TikTok said that was a money play.

SOOO many people invested a ton of their time answering my questions when i came back after an extended break, was merely trying to pay it forward, but we're apparently not speaking the same language as the uhhh average Madden player, for lack of a better term.  Ahh well.  It's frustrating to watch everyone argue over meaningless stats, but boy those magic golden 99s sure are lovely this time of year, or so i hear.  Not eager to pony up $100 to find out for myself, completely content with the Combine squad.  RoH doesn't move the needle for me.

ROH is just a bad promo this year.  I'm interested in non of the cards and they aren't OP.  This game is unfortunately getting very stale.
