TOTY first thoughts...

Will it be a let down? Will they have good XF? Will they have any motivators to compete with the combine promo? 

I hopeeeeee lol

It won't be that great. If you run the TT it will be. But top the Super Bowl?

It can't. They have to leave room for sugar rush and golden tickets.

Some said you really would struggle to top super bowl TT. They're right. Certainly TOTY won't be worth building the TT. Super Bowl costs less and just as good. 

Making Madden season shorter maybe is part of EAs plan for getting players on NCAA sooner this year?

I would tend to agree with you -- curious what happens with the Combine theme teams once the strategy item is nerfed, or fully taken away -- i'm still not clear on what/when is happening with that.  Either way, it was fairly obvious that the Superbowl Theme team was premier content... gonna be extremely difficult to improve on some of these.  The only way the Combine cards could get better would be if the X-factors started ON.  9 plays can be a bit, especially in shorter game modes... but still brutal to have stuff liek Angry Runs for an entire game, regardless of how poorly a person plays.

Many of my Superbowl cards are already feeling somewhat end-game.  So many are max 99 SPD, with multiple discounted (if not 0AP) ability options.  I guess the could give Golden Tickets 3 discounted buckets... oof.

Smart comments from both of u

Im afraid it will suck to force easter tt on the masses

90% it gets UL treatment.

Prove me wrong EA

Haaaaaaaaaa, i was too scurred to say that out loud, but i'm absolutely with you -- i have a suspicion (especially knowing the community will be able to earn at least 1-2 free TOTY drops) that these will be essentially on par with the Ultimate Legends... which are fairly terrible.  Perhaps there's one or two that are decent (thinking 0AP Jukebox on Fred Taylor recently, maybe Luuuuuuke MLB?) but overall i'd suggest Weekly Wildcard has better stuff to offer.  Bleh.

PLEASE, prove him wrong, EA Tiburon.  You (EA, not anyone in the community, in case that wasn't clear) worthless cunts.

Ability wise… these cards are trash…

no x-factors

ability stacks are way off.

honestly… people better stay on their current teams
