Lets be honest about Legend releases...the abilities matter more than the name

For example...if they released a Bo Jackson with bad abilities, compared to a lesser known name like Corey Dillon that had great abilities

The lesser name with great abilities would be a higher demand, and sell more.

So as for the upcoming legend teasers...whoever claims they dont like a card because of the "name" or a few weak attributes...lets wait to see the abilities

If Booger tomorrow has 1AP DoN and 1AP Inside Stuff...hes DT #1

If LT has some form of angry runs...or 0AP backfield master...hes RB #1

Abilities are what matters most

You new to these parts? It’s been all about abilities since they released them a couple/few years ago. Every year they come up with new ways to make cards obsolete as quickly as possible to keep us spending.

Think about ZC cards. They were amazing until the clock ran out and now some of them are still great cards but they don’t have free/discounted abilities so they play worse than the latest and greatest. It’d be funny if I weren’t so sad.

Cheer up m8 the days of wanting a player for the name may be over but booger McFarland being #1 dt in this game is hilarious when he really wasn’t a legend I mean for Christ sake Jeff Garcia? XD ea is trolling everyone at this point. I just can’t wait for them to drop Walter Payton and they make his abilities ass and probably make is stats ass to lol. If they do I’m surprised we haven’t seen one yet.

Abilities are what matters most

I've been trying to suggest to folks for YEARS that they stop stressing about the names, or pictures, or heck even the OVR rating in the top corner of the cards, none of that shit matters one bit. You can put any player or card into any uniform. Rather than chasing the hype, folks SHOULD probably be trying to match up abilities to specific areas of the field, especially on defense.

For example, i know i play a ton of Zone, so my goal was to get at least four MZKOs all around the outside. Makes team building SUPER easy and helps to save a ton of coins, as we won't be chasing the latest and greatest "Sauce" DB. It's expensive to be stupid, as it should be -- but this stuff is ridiculous. I appreciate the height, but i'm not convinced +1-2 SPD is worth ~3M coins, at least not for me. However, Derwin with 0AP MZKO, that's the ticket.

I'd much rather play my theme team players and keep the focus on a "pure" squad of Niners, but that's not really feasible.
