No theme team chem
Cards look good, but abilities look pretty weak
The (2) LTDs are way overpriced
So it looks like Superbowl Theme Team still holds...maybe until NFL draft or Sugar Rush?

100%. They structured their points packs to emphasize a chance at the LTDs. There are only a couple 97s that are remotely competitive with the meta Super Bowl + Combine team.

You are being fairly generous with our EA Tiburon overlords. After weeks of voting and all that hype... kind of terrible across the board. I would only consider three cards (with a few bonuses, in an effort to be complete with the review):
- Fred Warner (thankfully i pulled him from my free 17/17 TOTY set) -- LurkArtist + Mid Zone KO for 0AP (total) makes him a truly elite coverage LB, despite having terrible stats across the board. Abilities are basically the only thing that matters now in the end-game.
- Sauce Gardner -- 0AP Flat/Mid Zone KO + Pick Artist is wonderful for a Slot corner
- Chris Lindstrom -- 1AP Secure Protector + 0AP All Day looks decent, but 0AP SecurePro would have been truly end-game
- punter/kicker -- if you value 97 kicking power, those are probably best in game at the moment, but i'm fine with Gary
- Josh Allen (QB) -- i guess you could make an argument here, but i still prefer Bo's buttery smooth Trad4, with delayed HRM (waiting for Master Tactician to activate allows me more AP to invest on O-line)
Even the LTDs aren't that stupendous, definitely not worth 3M, IMO. And what happened to the art department, seems they all got laid off, eh? We're now just getting this lazy ass, single-color stuff. Please, EA, can you at least pretend to try? Oof.

Ghosts of MUTmas cards were good, but the extremely limited availability essentially ruined Christmas, EA was an absolute grinch. Superbowl Promo and Combine are/were absolute fire, IMO -- top tier content. Although, may have been a bit too good, as I have zero intention of moving on from my hybrid theme team. Wish i could go full 30 Combine & 70 SB, but that's not in the cards for me.
However, i did manage to find the silver lining, in the sense that i won't be at all tempted or have any weak moments where i donate even more cash to these chumps.
