RING OF HONOR PREDICTIONS

Woodysky said:

Oh good haha. I have a bunch. Luckily I bought like 7 or 8 of them. Although I have to choose between urlacher and Simmons since they use the same token. But I wasn't too impressed with urlacher, at least for me, so I sold. And if ROH comes with xfactors abilities I don't see how combine doesn't tank big

Urlacher was great and all, but even at 97 SPD he kind of lumbers around the field. Hits liek a truck, but also moves liek one, as well. I gotta have that 99 SPD, 99 ACC and as close to 99 COD as possible. 

Using Parsons and Jenkins in the box lately, although only one Avalanche.

The fact EA nerfed these Combine cards DEF hurts their value. However, those of us lucky enough to have a full range of upgrade tokens will continue to find immense value. They remain the best cards in their positions, probably for the foreseeable future. 

I'm not upgrading anytime soon.

Speaking of Simmons can we not put safeties in the slot cb position in this Madden?

I can't afford lol. I can only get the really good non ltd cards. I di buy von miller but sold him ASAP since I couldn't tell the difference and at that price and 4 ap i just went back to george

You have to sub them, in game. Been that way for at least a few years.

Like i mentioned, they’re end game cards. They’ll be top 5 at their position for the rest of the year.

Hooker/Simmons: DZKO + MZKO (1 ap)

Jenkins: Reinforcements + FZKO (1 ap) best card

Jones/Pat Pete: DOZKO + MZKO + FZKO (0 ap)

Long/Nelson: Oline boost + SP/All Day/Post up (1 ap)

Parsons: MZKO + FZKO + 90 Man/Zone

honestly, zero reason to upgrade. honestly easter might not be worth it.

honestly, these cards might not be worth it. it's going to come down to abilities.

I was trying to conjure up random ways that we could improve upon these cards... unless/until we see Universal Coverage for 2AP (or less), i'm not sure that exists.  Even with Bo Nix, his specific QB Release style kind of mediocre, but the ability stack is incredible.

I'm basically a statue in the pocket, but it's nice to have the option to run away and heave a prayer, especially deep / corner, so Run n Gun is a bonus, but i don't really value Tank/Truzz as much as others, but i guess the combo of Escape Artist + Truzz might be interesting.

I continue to tinker around the edges, but beyond bringing Jenkins down into the box, to help backup Parsons, i'm feeling pretty decent about the current squad.

You can, but only from in-game menus, NOT from the regular Specialists tab within your Lineup / roster adjustments.  You can drop safeties at CB3/CB4, etc. but not possible for Slot.

I thought the same thing...

Manning - will get the best QB stack and Ohama. Saying that, this meta is very blitz heavy and moving off the spot is important. He won't be able to with high speed blitzers.

Beast Mode  - Running back is weird because alot of people play on conservative. I feel that AP is more valuable to use on your oline to help verse the always on x-factors

Joe Thomas - honestly, needs Secure, All Day, and another tier 2 for zero to be an upgrade over Kennedy, Mailata, or Paris.

Ray - same as Urlacher. won't be worth the upgrade imo. Won't get 90 man zone with his 91 having 55 man.

Sean Taylor - Should be another card that gets Reinforcements and a KO for 1. This should be the best set card.

As for LTDs

I'm expecting a WR/TE, we can't have a drop without a pass catcher. Even then would need double me for 1 to be worth it

Edge, they're going to have to have Colossus for 4 to be worth it. 

Going to be an interesting drop. I'm mutleaks leaks their abilities like he use too.

Fantastic card reviews, with the limited info currently available -- no mention of RoH LTDs (yet), eh?  I recently went back to attempting the 3AP Freight Train on my HB, but it's almost certainly a waste.  I should probably consider swapping out one (or both) of my OTs, so i can upgrade to Secure Protector (at 1AP), versus the current arrangement: All Day + Pass Pro (for 0AP) across my entire O-line.  It's a passing league after all, but would be nice to have the option to run it in from the red zone.

Balance Beam + Freight Train isn't nearly as good as Tank, but i watched my guy bounce off a direct Avalanche hit yesterday, couldn't believe he didn't cough up the ball and having Balance Beam allowed me to regain nearly instant control over my ball carrier... what a fortune surprise.  Guess i could go back to Muscle Hampster, use his 1AP Tank and keep Jamaal Charles for passing scenarios.  Or maybe sell him.

Take out Covert or Jim add Jared  Allen who was finally accepted into hall of fame last year 👏

I really like the groups for each team that is represented this year, even though there are no Steelers.

Do you recall what the crazy baked-on abilities were for Big Ben last year? I didn't even get to use Ben because I needed the AP for my line so I wasn't under constant pressure.

For all of the Seahawk, Colt, Commander, Raven & browns fans, I hope they don't jack your cards up!

Knowing EA all of Peyton's supporting cast will be Broncos.

Found this: Stock Abilities

No-Look Deadeye: Passers with this ability have perfect accuracy on all cross-body throws up to 20 yards (except on high/low throws).

Fearless: Passers with this ability are immune to throw penalties caused by defensive pressure while their feet are set in the pocket.

Roaming Deadeye: Passers with this ability have perfect accuracy on all unpressured throws while their feet are set outside the pocket (except on high/low throws).

Gunslinger: Passers with this ability have faster passing animations and increased velocity on bullet passes.

Set Feet Lead: Passers with this ability have increased throw power on bullet precision passes made while their feet are set (except on high/low throws).

With ROH rumored to drop next week, are we thinking they're 98 or 99 OVRs? The Champions won't hit the same if they're 98s.

98 champs, 99 ltds. They have never done a multi-ovr jump.
