You can get a really good team with cards that come out including the free ones. Why go through the trouble of getting all the players for one team and it never gets to be a good team and you have to put other team players in your lineup anyway. Maybe I am missing something. I have my theme team but it is still not as good as my team when I just create the best lineup from all my players. Curious what others think of the theme teams and are they worth the trouble and cost.
Because we are all fans of different teams?
Same reason we root and cheer for whatever team in HS, college, pro.
All it takes for a legit boost is 25/50. That's built upon mostly backups and will not effect your gameplay one bit.
You have Nolan Smith 93 SPD and acc who you can get to 94 SPD and acc by just going to the auction house and blindly buying random players because the Sheagles have so many damn players in the game.
That's a tremendous benefit when playing online.
Chasing the best players is boring and expensive and some of these free cards are garbage.
I'd much rather play with players that Ive liked, fit my scheme and play/played for my favorite team. And I'm still able to compete. And most of the theme teams will mop the floor with your bnd guys.
Makes us happy. Gives a boost to players that we like IRL. For example, I was running a 45/50 Cowboys team and had CeeDee, Amari, and a few others guys play real nice with the boosts they were given. Has allowed me to have fun and still be somewhat competitive even if I have older players like Carmichael
- play w favorite team(s)
- stop worrying about chasing latest and greatest cards
- different, no more showing up to every game w all same cards as opponent
- +2 speed and accel at 50/50
Is my theme team the best team possible to put together? No. But I don’t really care tbh. I’m having a lot more fun since moving to the TT, and that’s good enough for me.
you'll be able to run the fastest best OVR at any given time with at least 25 since they will get a SPD boost and only taking up 25 spots won't negatively impact the roster, +1 SPD +1 ACC make a difference when OVRs are close
Thank you everyone for your replies, I will look at the TT a lot closer and maybe start using it more. I agree that some of the free cards are not great. It would be nice to get the boosts without having to spend a bunch of training. I do not play a lot on line but I will check out how my TT plays. It is good to use players that I am familiar with more so than just anyone. After all this is a game and fun to play.
