Is Draft promo good?

whiplash13 said:

I am a bit confused with this community.  You guys complain about program chemistry.  You guys also complain about how stats don't matter and only abilities/x-factors matter.    So, they release a few promos in a row without program chemistry and less OP x-factors/abilities, and now you are complaining that this is the worst promo ever because there is no promo chemistry or OP x-factors and abilities.  

Now, don't get me wrong, I think EA has gone over the top with pay to play with all their LTD's and packs, but I don't think there is a possible way to please this community.

Please explain to me why someone would pay or even play with Draft Marriota that legit wants to win vs Combine Bo at a fraction even free now (token). C'mon dude you cant be serious

Not everyone NEEDS AND REQUIRES the meta just to compete let alone win. A lot of underlying admission in this thread of no skill entitlement

How does he play without SP? I can’t imagine using ANY o lineman without SP but curious about him and why they didn’t discount SP on him

FOH Troll!!!

Most of us are at the point where we have 95 OVR to 99 OVR teams, so any release that isn't a 99 of one of our favorite players or a player that we want for our theme team isn't going to help much. But I think the H2H MUT Draft Event where you can Draft a team from a new pool of players and earn a 99 OVR Draft Night player as well as other NFL Draft rewards sounds interesting.

Meta typically references a play style or formation (ex. gun bunch strong offset or wing slot this year.) Abilities are absolutely important in determining if a card is better than older cards. And the draft cards dropping today aren't better than combine cards (or even super bowl cards,) as one discounted ability doesn't save you any AP on offense/defense compared to what we already have. Wanting good ability stacks should be universal, especially when it's mid April and the game is nearing the end of its life cycle.

I think these complaints stem from the point that promo chems and OP abilities should have never existed.

So the precedent has already been set.  So if the new cards don't get promo chems and decent abilities, we are almost forced to use the same cards we have had for a month or more just to compete.  

Why pay an extravagant amount for shiny new cards with unusable abilities and team chems that max out at 50?

They have not released a program with a program chem in almost two months, so we are do for another one. 

I don't mind the program TT chems, as they incentivize people to use players that they may not have used previously. It get's repetitive seeing certain teams (ie. 49rs, cowboys, ravens, raiders) have the best theme teams year in and year out, so something new is nice. In a perfect world  they would drop a new program chem each month, so we could refresh our lineups and use new players. I am still going to be using the combine TT, but I would like to use a new one if possible.

SP totally not meta, right?

Just use all your AP on QB, RB, TE, WR and get instashed by cards with lit up xfactors that dropped 2 months ago.

SP is a must everyone knows that. Simply inquired about a card. Nice try tho better luck next time

I put my 9 yes NINE AP mostly on my o line. If you can’t operate off 9 and 11 APs then that’s on you. No wonder the game is in the state it’s in

So, if they nerfed all the Combine and SB X-factors, Motivators and Promo Chems, and kept releasing programs like the Draft, SR, RD and UL, would that be acceptable?

Yep, I'd be fine with that.

It'd level the playing field and make actual theme teams more viable.

Appreciate the candor.  I am in complete agreement with you.  They are toying with this idea by not adding SB chem from all future cards a couple of months back, they took away new program chemistries and they haven't been adding many OP X-Factors to cards.  Even the ROH ones had longer warm up times or weren't unstoppable.  They also added counter X-Factors and abilities to diminish their effectiveness.  They should just go all the way and completely nerf them at this point if they don't plan on moving forward with them.
