Sorry if this is a repeat post,
I keep seeing folks frustrated with Golden tickets. Some creations are pretty bad, while others are solid and fit what players like to do.
What would make Golden tix fun again? I remember when you could limit how many were made, making a certain card rare.
What is it going to take to make these cards worth breaking the bank for again in 2025?
The fact that GTs can't get baked in x factors and some abilities are off limits from being discounted makes them worse than ULs being released now.

yeah i agree, i never understood the x-factor issue with GTs. I wonder if EA would ever allow traits to be modified.
This is something you could change in franchise mode, a real upgrade to a player. Feels like some abilities should be removed since lots of folks
don't realize they either won't activate or are really of no benefit

Agreed, not providing guidance to those making GTs is a big disservice to the madden community. They should have recommended templates and explanations of why certain abilities might be favored over another to help those who pulled a GT but maybe don't know the ins and outs or even the implications of their choices.

What people specifically do with their GT isn't the problem. People make what they want, whether it be their favorite player, someone from their TT that needs an upgrade, or like you said, someone who makes an insanely good madden card. People who are whining about some guy making Alstott need to grow up.
THIS madden specifically, the problem isn't that GTs aren't good enough. It's that Ultimate legends and AKA Crews were/are so much better. There is no reason that a DT with a baked on X-Factor should be dropping on the same day as GTs. Andrew Luck will be better than any GT QB that comes out, and you can get him for free with the tokens. There are 8 users in the game that get the same stack as the OOP Calvin GT and the Willis GT, while Ray Lewis gets it with baked on avalanche.
On one hand, it is kind of nice to see different cards in use. I appreciate that people don't feel the need to get every new card when most over the last 2 weeks do the same thing. But it really sucks how hard it is to care about GTs, which are always supposed to feel special.

At the same time though, I think calling it "a big disservice to the madden community" is a little much. The same "community" will legitimately get upset with people who simply make the cards they want. There's nothing wrong with that. That being said, there should be some option on the form where someone can select "choose for me" or something of the sort. There might already be, we don't know.
Point being, I think people overall need to relax about what people should or shouldn't be making. It isn't the job of someone who gets a GT to make it for the community.

Really don't want that limit to return. I just think it's no fun at all if only 10 or so people can use one card.
I think it would be cool if they did more community GTs. Even if it wasn't the best, it was pretty cool that the community made a GT through GMM last year. Not sure if it will ever happen but a Mut.gg GT would be pretty cool even if just for the novelty factor.
Instead of the creator picking abilities, EA should just put all the possible ability discounts that creators can choose from for that position in the custom buckets. That way GTs fit any scheme even off meta ones. And they should have access to whatever the best cards do. Whether that's baked in xfactors this year or pre lit xfactors(which they should have got last year but didn't making them worse the AKA cards).

So this year it seems more so EA made a GT choice that seems poor. Yeah i was kinda surprised over the Alstott hate, I'm still on 23 but its great seeing him IMO. I also don't understand the OOP position hate, or when they had backyard ballers. I think people are forgetting this is still a game and there should be an aspect of fun other than just grinding and winning every game. Plus in the NFL, plenty of folks are used beyond what their title position is. Good post thx
People are only frustrated with the cards that don't fit the "meta". If they aren't 6'5+ at a skill position, they hate it. Truth of the matter is the winners selected who they wanted to. No Golden Ticket is really bad, persay, but they are who the winners wanted to go with and that should be respected.

Yea i see this a lot too. I honestly am having trouble remembering a GT the majority had few complaints about that wasn't a qb

I don't think that's the only issue tho. It seems like golden tickets were very hard to pull and people just don't want to see golden tickets used at certain positions. Of course the creator doesn't really care since they are free to do what they want but when you give limited golden tickets, people will be upset if they don't like the choices.

You misunderstand. I'm not suggesting people can't pick the player they want. I'msaying when they pick their player EA could easily say, "you picked a QB, if you want them to be a scrambler here's what abilities we suggest, pocket passes would be these, dual threat... etc. Same for lb, if you want them to be pass rusher set it up this way, user in coverage, ai controlled... etc.
I don't care what names are picked or what positions are picked, but it is a disservice to the players who pulled the chance to make someone to not help guide them on what abilities matter most for what they're trying to accomplish if they're not as familiar with the game.
Hopefully that helps clear it up.
They should make 2 buckets be 0 AP every single ability, then another 2 buckets 1 AP every single ability
then people get cool community made cards they can customize, and have a sick card 4 abilities for 2AP…everyone’s happy there.

Peppers is bad, which is a shame because he should be the best card in the game if he got at least deep out
