EA messed up T’Vondre Sweat so bad

how is this even an upgrade? His 93 is literally  a better card…

Lol bro better have colossus baked onto that meatloaf for 4ap.

"ummm, he has 77 fmv now, therefore he is better"

Fantastic point, but this may be a great example to demonstrate how stats barely matter, if they ever did... although the discounted abilities for these AKA Icons haven't been particularly great.  Hard to review cards until we see the ability stack.  If he gets 0AP Inside Stuff or something ridiculous, that immediately would make him a top end card.  For now, i'm content paying 2AP retail (for Inside Stuff) and running my BND Julius Peppers OOP at DT.  Kind of a weak position group, i guess I'd probably suggest that the two Superbowl cards (Chris Jones and Mean Joe Greene) might be best in position, not counting the ~5M Warren Sapp.

We're regressing in many respects.

i do agree abilities matter, but when ever they’ve release other new cards like Josh Allen, his stats are better and his abilities are better as he’s a higher over all

they shouldn’t tank stats based upon an ability bucket… the least they could do was do a plus 1 to all stats and then give a good ability bucket

he’s -2 speed, -7 acceleration, -3 strength and has the same power move as a card 3 over alls less. But they give him +7 finesse moves when he doesn’t even use swim moves and boost tackle and play rec. it makes no sense

Most kids aren't as competent at reviewing new cards / content, so EA continues to get away with this madness.  And we're all here stuck, with zero other avenues or outlets to get our fix on the virtual gridiron -- these clowns know exactly what they're doing, in terms of prioritizing profit above all else.  EA stopped being a video game company decades ago, Andrew Wilson is just as clueless and out of touch as most politicians and anyone else who exists in their ivory tower type bubble.

We're just a bunch of angry nerds complaining on the internet, they wouldn't piss on any of us if we were on fire.  It's sad and pathetic.  I removed my credit card from my Playstation account to try and help eliminate the temptation -- i've struggled to turn this bad game off.  Now anytime I get the urge to piss away even more funds on my MUT squad, i got donate twenty bucks to my kid to help fund his NBA2K adventures.  All of these games are so pay to win, even a 6th grader can understand and admit that.

I mean, at the end of the day, we're ALL paying for it in one form or another -- attention is a currency that's even more valuable than money.  Every minute we spend in front of this bad game, we're sort of "paying for it" albeit not always with US Dollars.  The data they're farming from us and selling to advertisers is another currency.  It's the 21st century equivalent of oil.

I went bonkers during MUTmas and then again for the Superbowl, despite my beloved Niners being terrible.  Repeating the same mistakes i made last year.  What the fuck am i going to do with ~30M coins anyway.  I've probably still got ~15M on my M24 account i could never properly gift to kids, because EA started banning everyone who would help, or i got outright scammed by the degenerate gambling addicts lurking in these forums.  I'm old enough to know better, yet here i am.  Oof.

yikes

I bet the stats are actually different when released, just like they did Barkley

EA logic - they probably improved his AWR by 40 pts to get the overall to improve, but mad all the physical stats that matter worse.

they gave him 90 prc instead of 83, thats the diff in OVR, which is quite useless… 93 still clears

They didn’t fix him and he gets trash discounts. Inside stuff for 1AP like dozens of other cards. only 0AP ability is secure tackler

HARD pass. could have been such a cracked card
