TOTY Nominees- Remaining players without upgrades

This is a list of all of the players we voted for. This list has all players from the nominee's list that do not have a card 96 OVR or higher (I say 96 because I anticipate these to be 98 OVR cards). I will update this if we get any more nominees on Tuesday

Comment how you would change your vote based on this list with players who don't have an upgrade.

I wouldn't. I'm perfectly happy with who I chose despite all of this. What is wrong with owning what you did?

I really want Darrisaw to win, besides missing time this year he was graded the no 2 tackle behind Trent. I know its not going to happen though. Hopefully we get the annual Hunter TOTY card, he's usually crazy. Otherwise Ramsey is the only card I really want. Aaron Jones would be nice too with his all NFC north chems for my tt.

Sorry, should've said "if" instead of asserting you must change your decison. I feel like for some of these players that could get duplicates their cards will be pretty much the same so I would like if we got no duplicates at all.

Caveat, this is my first year playing MUT, so I don't have any history on these recurring promos, but when I voted I thought we were voting for the best real-life performances at each position, not who we think "deserved" an upgrade.  Take QB for example, of the three that you listed above that are in need of an upgrade, Josh Allen is clearly the best QB in that group.  However, there are at least 3-4 QB's that had better seasons than Josh Allen did, and deserve a TOTY card more than Josh Allen does, based on real-life performance.   Am I not understanding the purpose of the promo?

People in the mut community usually vote for the players that will be good in game but this year EA had players in the voting that already had very high overall cards, and their ToTy card would no change much at all so we want to see differently

Makes sense I guess.  I just misunderstood the purpose of the promo.  I thought it was more of a nod to the real-life performances of those players this past season.  As I said, this is my first year of playing MUT, and I am still struggling mentally with how cards get assigned OVR numbers and abilities.   It just seems to have little to no correlation with real-life.  Relative nobodies get 97 OVR cards, while real-life stars sit with a 92-93 as their best card.   I am sure there is a method to the madness..........

Not really a method to the madness, just EA. Players who perform well irl should be the ones deserving of upgrades, but it's pointless to have a +1 or +2 upgrade when others had a good season but don't have a good card yet. 

For example, Patrick Mahomes was the MVP, he easily should be on a TOTY vote but because he already has a 95, 97, and 99 overall card it's pointless to give him a 98 when his other cards are just as good or better.

You mean how a fake player like Leon Sandcastle has multiple 97’s and a star like Josh Allen is sitting on a 92? 😏

there is not. EA just blindfolds a former backup offensive lineman named Clint and asks him to pick names out of a hat and then code the game himself, on an IPhone 7. Hope this helps ❤️
