Howley and ward

Another reason it’s getting easier and easier to walk away from madden. They’re not doing a good job to convince me to spend money

Outside buying the game. You shouldn’t be spending any money on this game

They are both basically 93 OVR unless you decide that you need them at 95 at which point they cost the 600k all the other 95s cost. So what you get for free is basically a useless 93 OVR. What would be interesting though is whether the BND 95 goes into the upgrade slot or not.

Edit: what I find a bit scummy is the fact that Hines +2 OVR upgrade carries a +4 to his speed, had the scaling been more linear I'd have been fine with the 93

Can anyone confirm if we can use the BND card from the Super Bowl Field Pass?

I have seen people say we can use the BND card and I have seen people say it needs to be an auction-able card.

When you use the 95 player item to upgrade the cards do you lose the 95 player item or do you keep it?

You can pull the card back out and swap them around, i was worried the card would actually be consumed.  You can't use it elsewhere on your roster, but it doesn't exactly go poof.

That being said, these are some very very good cards.  0AP Slot Apprentice is less crucial these days, otherwise i would have seriously considered taking Hines Ward.  I have been using Chuck Howley as my primary USER, he's quite impressive on 25 Superbowl TT.  97 base SPD, 97 ACC and 96 COD with always on Universal Coverage.  He's almost too good for me to personally user, but it's fun to zoom around the field.

I see both sides of it but I upgraded him and spent the 550k on TD to get him. Also threw the Light It Up card on him to take away the TE corners and HB flat passes. He's probably the best LB in the game once fully upgraded. And 99 speed and acc on TT is crazy. To each their own on this one. Really gonna come down to how you play.

Unless you run a Steelers or Cowboys Theme Team, why would anyone put a $500-600K Auctionable 95 OVR into another card...........to make a BND 95 OVR.  It honestly makes no sense to me, and is a pure EA move.   

Something that would have made more sense would have been to have tokens to take the Ward/Howley to a 94 OVR, and then if you add the 95 OVR, Ward/Howley go to 96 OVR.  That would have been some incentive.

EA would've only done that if we had the limiteds at 97.

wait a minute....

u can either have a 95 and a 93 or just a bnd 95??

sounds like bs

Howley is good and he gets universal coverage light it up once he’s boosted. I user carmichael and out howley on man or zone, whichever is needed.

If you run a cowboys theme team you lose x3 chem from his TD in addition to everything else mentioned (95 and a Light it up token). 
 

So yeah. Not doing that.

And they can expect me to not spend money on packs and to continue to make hundreds to thousands hustlin to folks

ea and the mods here can get dumped in their heads if they got a problem

the mods in here do not work for ea so they prolly don’t care if you buy packs

We shouldn’t have to put a 95 into a person to make him a 95. If he was made a 97 then I’d seriously consider it but I’d rather just keep the 95 I’ll be getting. That Hines Ward doesn’t look too bad at 95 but i don’t want to lose a 95 for him. Plus I want to get that Terrell Davis, and will he come out of the 95 BND pack in the Field Pass?

people talk like the number ovr means something. It does not. Look at the stats relevant to you (speed) and remember that you can always take the 95 out and sell them when you’re done using ward or howley. Ward is on par with Plaxico, for a fifth of the price. Howley is a top tier linebacker

I know I'm in the minority, but I like Ward because his run blocking as a WR is damn good. They shoulda gave him discounted Honorary Lineman. I feel like EA just forgot about that ability this year.

Still I’d like to have that second 95. I’ll consider it For sure, but we shall see

Yeah it’s real dumb cuz there are plenty of 95 receivers and lb’s that are better than those two jokers   I mean it’s a 100% steeler tt deal  and whoever the fuck howley played for. That’s the only teams that can honestly benefit from this garbage, garbage deal
