Controversial or unpopular take but next madden

Here’s an easy fix. Ea just needs to implement a mode where you can’t use any abilities. I’m cool with theme teams but I dont like how so many cards have multiple team chems. The ranked top 100 rewards should be the only cards to get all team chems and that’s it. Theme teams should only be 50/50 for plus one speed and that should be the max boost to speed.

TT can stay, abilities can go

majority of their player base are teenagers and adults who never touched a field and can’t touch their toes. if they limited it to real football concepts they’d force out all their clients. sadly they leave certain exploits in the game so the try hard has a lane to compete. 

i wish it could be this way but it’s foolish dream.

I agree 100% 

Just looking for a permanent cool down mode within ultimate team like they've done in the house rules before. I guess they had mentioned making this mode permanent before but obviously that hasn't happened.

Ea needs to get rid of abilities and theme teams. Go back to the days of mut 16 or even before that to how things used to be. My few friends who play mut always bring up how their team doesn't get a card they want every few days. As for abilities My first mut was 16 and there was no pa gs gw etc and game was fine to me as long as you knew how to beat mike scrape 3 or swerve catch.

I def could do without abilities but theme teams are the only really fun Madden thing for me😂

Not even gonna lie like this take but I think keep theme teams and make wr's catch and defenders play defense. Ea wont do it though, greedy

Agree, abilities made it a rpg as opposed to a sports game. Much better product pre abilities imo. I've lost most interest in madden over the years due to it.

Same. I first came over from regs to ultimate team because I was tired of the Ravens offense not having any weapons lol

Abilities are nice but ko,s all over the d is just dumb. Always dropping the ball regardless of catch rating is soo anyoing .

Don't play mut go do another mode

awww you need these trash Pokemon super hero abilities? then go play marvel

exact reason I stopped playing mut....abilities are trash, p2w and a bailout

Abilities 100% have to go. Receivers can't catch with out them, quarterbacks can't throw without them, linemen can't block without them etc.

The biggest issue with theme teams rn is how many players can get every theme team chem. There used to be a downside to running a theme team because you would be stuck with some massive holes in your roster. Now you can plug in a ton of extra chemistry bonuses so you don't have to leave those spots exposed.

100% agree. MUT 16 and 17 were my favourite. simple, no super hero crap that makes the game play like ass. And better rewards from solos - packs instead of specific players, makes more random teams.

Gauntlet, journey,  rrewards at the end of solos, no ncat bnd or nat. Mut 16 is my favorite mut. It had its issues with the swerve catch, aggressive catch, and mike scrape 3 but the content provided didn't have me thinking about the negative things. Also they had mut master and the 99ovr solo to where you got 100k for beating a solo if your team was 99ovr. Now ea rewards you by giving you options to buy packs after certain milestones
