why is 97 vick not used often compared to poe or nix

I keep seeing that those cards are better yet they lack vicks speed or stack. People say the lefty qb is bugged but wouldnt it mean you just run plays left instead of right for a righty? Im new to mut this year and trying to understand. Thank you

People in general dont like lefties

Ok so there is no bug or anything that makes him worse than those 2 cards

I used him for a little bit and he was good. Just had to get used to the left handed throw. I found l liked a right handed throw better when escaping the pocket and Vick was a little less natural to use compared to any right throwing QB. But I did like him overall.

It has nothing to do with throwing. People can get used to a lefty. It's the fact that you can't run to the right without the buggy movement. In a h2h online game with all of the blitzes it can be costly.

100% this^^ -- the game has been bugged/glitched for YEARS, EA has no clue how to fix it, hence why they made a right-handed Michael Vick card.  Left-handed QBs are simply unable to immediately escape the pocket to the right, which is why so many Comp players refuse to touch lefties.  YMMV, but they're definitely bugged in a very specific manner.

+1 for "Tecmo" reference, such a classic.

Yeah, but wouldn’t it be the same as if a right handed quarterback ran to the left or is it legitimately an issue to her? If you run to the right with a lefty they just can’t throw.

Yeah, but wouldn’t a right handed quarterback have the same buggy movement when running to the left and throwing or no

A right-handed QB is better rolling out to the left rather than a left-handed QB rolling out to the right due to the sticks and glue holding together EA’s yearly messy code known as ”Madden”.
