Something I want to see be back in the game

Interestingly, it might not work out that way. If one receiver is making a difference, but on the quarterback's passing attempts to other receivers there isn't a significant shift over an accumulation of targets, his average will be weighed down.

A qualifying number of snaps should be a factor too. If a player catches a couple of bombs for TD's and yet wasn't on the field for 80% of the plays, they're probably not the best candidate for an award.

I mean if we’re ranking pure win probability added, I would say à pass should count for the receiver and the qb - meaning if a wr is top 10 among all players, the qb would have to decrease win probability consistently to not also be top 10

Yeah, I'm not trying to get into the 'Is the wideout making the quarterback look good or vice versa?' argument. All I mean is that any one receiver's targets are a subset of his quarterback's total number of action plays, and if the quarterback's decisions on some thirty-or-so other plays to throw to other receivers or to keep the ball on the ground or to throw it away or to take a sack don't produce the same increase in Win Probability, that will reflect on the quarterback's average contribution to Win Probability.

Maybe we're saying the same thing. All I meant was that the most productive quarterback on any given week will not necessarily have been throwing passes to one of the top three most productive receivers during that same week.

i love the idea it was cool i also hope they do cover athletes again but less of a cash grab and more thought in the promo

they only ended up doing like 6 of them they definitely have 2 years of the promo they could do

It would be nice to have a merit-based system for MUT players. If you have an awesome week in the league, you shouldn’t be overlooked on the TotW release because EA has prepared an item for you in a soon-to-be-released program.

In practice, the TotW releases would have to be larger. That doesn’t have to be a barrier. Set up a system where specific stat accumulations raise attributes and enable abilities according to an appropriate algorithm, and slap a TotW skin on the Core item artwork. We’d rather have a fluid, evolving system that reflects the league as it is, rather than small releases that may or may not have fire card art.

Like how MLB the show does it?

I agree! Most definitely had some fun cards come out of those sets.

So just bring back power ups basically

I don't know what that means, but if that's what MLB does and people like it, then maybe it's worth emulating.

I remember that back in MUT 23 there were Base Legends that you could power up. (Since I started playing MUT during March of that year, I figured out very late why some of the Legends items were purple.)

I don't understand why people complain about power ups. I'd much rather have cards that can equip other cards so that I could have a Micah Parsons with the Crystal chemistry and the Collector's Series' Parsons' attributes. It's silly when I have to choose between Team Diamonds Anquan Boldin with the multiple chemistries and Ultimate Legends Anquan Boldin with actual on-field relevance.

I want the regular going down back. I get so tired of diving to the ground and getting randomly sucked into a tackle animation😭

Unrelated note, do we think there will be a way to upgrade the stocking stuffers now with ZC being over? TIA

Power up cards using training. Trade block. No price limits. Old promos by the end of the season: positional heroes, summer blockbusters.
