Season Pass Players

Earlier in the year they were pretty good, but I’m not even sure if these will make my team. It makes the grind seem impossibly long.

It's brutal.  Absolutely brutal.  S4 had a handful of decent cards, but the mere fact we could not fully upgrade them until well after their expiration date is a large part of the ongoing issues here.  For S5 i paid (had ~30k Tickets saved up) to "max" (for now, at 94-95 OVR or whatever current cap is) on Chuck Haley for my 49ers theme team, but the rest are a huge snoozefest.  No discounted abilities makes them essentially unusable, although we've been spoiled with Zero Chill, those cards were absolutely CRACKED, including, or especially the 90 OVRs with dual 0AP buckets.  After a ~month of end-game MUT (in December), it's going to be a brutal adjustment, regardless.

I have to wait until after the 9th to see if Woodson beats out any of my ZC players.

S4 was useful maybe for the first couple of weeks and zero value after ZC dropped. They needed to release the upgrade tokens much earlier.

S5 doesn't look much better. How does a 94 OVR such as Woodson have worse stats than lower OVR players. He should be marginally better than other 93 OVR CB and on par with 94 OVR CB. If they don't release the 95 and 96 tokens soon S5 players won't be of any value except maybe to fill a bench spot on a theme team.

I think Thuney is alright, so u dont have to worry about spending coins on a lineman .. seems like were getting the max upgrade tokens earlier than last season as well
