<p>Slinger 1 used to be the best release in the game but they went and nerfed that deep throw. I still like using him though, he's my QB for now</p>StoicTrader said:gotcha

<p>Weakness of Flacco, especially without GS, is his deep release. Slinger 1 has a bit of a windup on the deep ball this year. I noticed it when I didn;t put GS on him</p>

<p>On the other hand....... by the time the last CA cards are released the first few may not be the best cards at their position.....they may be up to 95 OVRs by then....so there's that</p>kaotikords said:Oh yeah that makes it much more manageable. And forgot Madden gets 1

<p>That's true but you only need 20 to max out so that's 10 of the LTD cards. 1 QB, 1 HB, John Madden, 1 LT, 1 MLB, 1 WR, 1 SS, 1 TE, 1 CB...another WR or another HB.....</p> <p>The boosts are pretty insane IMO. Even the +1's....I think there are some boost…</p>kaotikords said:The problem comes to 2x QB spots and like 10 QBs.
QB: 9x (Brady, Mahomes on 2x- Favre as well)
RB: 4x
WR: 4 (counting AB)
TE: 1
LB: 1
DB: 2Even at max thats 2 QB, 3 RB, 4 WR, 1 TE, 1 LB, 2 DB.
At 2x each thats 26 max. Thats crazy for those small bonuses. Taking out AB makes it to 3 and Farve wont matter with so many QB.

<p>Using the same stack and I like him better than Aikman. Dan the Man is a closer comparison though. Not sure I like Flacco over Dan</p>JuicyJ8787 said:I’m liking Flacco a lot so far. Never had Aikman though. Gunslinger, SFL, and HRM x-factor is my perfect stack.

Opinions like yours are usually delusional optimism by someone who owns a limited. I see them all the time on the AH for like 400k or more, when the redux is right next to it for like 200k and i laugh and roll my eyes. Its actually annoying when youre trying to buy a specific card and the supply at the moment is low. Would have taken me like two days less to get my adrian phillips if all the people putting up their limiteds for twice the market worth wouldve just come to terms with reality.
Long story short, if you have a limited (of an older card that has a redux already) and you dont want to keep it, just quicksell it.

<p>Well, I mean, if Zirksee says it.....must be so....LOL.</p> <p>Seriously, EA doesn't tell content creators squat anymore so like you wrote it is complete speculation.</p>weplaythose said:Zirksee was speculating that it would apply to every card they have in the game, which would mean that burrow is likely getting an upgrade for ZC with the whole "Joe Brr" nickname, in which case, he would be the best QB in the game at a 94, which would be pretty cool.

<p>So for people questioning why the LTDs are better/selling for more....yes the prices are insane, and yes EA should absolutely give more packs and better pack odds...but as far as why these cards are so good....in addition to better/cheaper abilities…</p>

<p>But none of those DBs have 90 play rec and in zone that is key. KO's and play rec. </p> <p>But you are always going to get beat in Madden 24 on defense; that's just the way EA coded the game. At least one of the patches which broke defense</p>GGerz said:Zone defenders are stuck in the mud…
you need to use KOs…
besides the Knock Out, they also have quicker reactions.
My IC3 Setup
FS: Dawkins -> DOZKO
SS: Woolen -> DOZKO
CB1: Asante -> FZKO
CB2: Porter
SLOT: DRC
SUB LB: Lott -> DIZKO
SUB LB: Ray -> LA
i’m loving how my backend is playing since I made the switch

Re: How big a difference between 89 ZCV & 92 ZCV? 90 ZCV & 93 ZCV ?

<p>Yep. This is why I have Chinn and Ward in my secondary. And why I use the Brandon Staley strat card giving +1 play rec so that my record breaker Bland gets to 90 PRC. I think that pursuit also matters more than people realize.</p>TheChamp22 said:Yep exactly this. The minor zone thresholds go in 5s so there is a minor difference once we hit 95 as well. But for the most part if you are hitting 90 zone everyone above that will play the same.
another stat that people don’t talk about enough in zone is play rec. EA knows this and if you look at the cards we’ve been getting up until recently they’ve all been under 90 play rec. once you hit 90 it’s noticeable how much faster your db breaks on throws when in a zone.

<p>ST is sadly not as good as the 4 safeties I have in my lineup right now. Rice. Isn't any better either...Otto could be very good but we will see what extra abilities he gets in that last bucket</p>
