Opinion On Theme Team Management

I wish there was a Theme Team only mode in squads/H2H. would love to have regular gameplay of people trying their best to only use players from a team and having the uniforms/stadiums etc but being able to use the teams best players of all time. not like you can use randy moss in regular H2H

If you run a theme team, or are a dedicated fan of a specific team and you run players on your squad from an active rival team you are a fraud, a fake, a poser. Where is your loyalty?

For example, if you are a Patriots fan but you use Josh Allen at QB? Fraud. If you are a Bears fan but you used Jahmyrr Gibbs? Fraud. A Ravens fan using Tee Higgins? FRAUD. A Buccaneers fan using Drake London? FRAAUUUUD.

I can make a minor exception for players who played in like the 80s or earlier when conferences and divisions and all were different, cause historical players are cool, but if you use any player who played during the active rivalry of your team you lack integrity as a football fan

and don't spin me some line about 32 tEam ChEms, grow a backbone

You won’t find Ocho or Burrow my Steelers TT even though we are struggling in multiple offensive positions.

Welp, as an eagles fan using a pats theme team I guess I'm a fraud but I run a new 1-4 teams every year to engage with more content that I otherwise normally wouldn't use. So this is just a weird take to me.

Everyone likes to cosplay as pro madden players, even though they copy someone elses team, abilities, playbook, and plays. I say if you can't figure out how to play on your own, you're never gonna actually be good. It is also much more fun to live in reality and have fun with the game than it is to pretend like one is a pro player.

What's not fun is losing every game, and mut is full of sweaty losers. So sometimes you have to conform at least a little bit

Make theme teams actual theme teams again

They're way too lazy to release such a diverse amount of content

As a man who doesn't really watch much NFL other than snippets and highlights and who doesn't have a favorite team, it's very easy to use whoever I want haha

After 50+ years of watching FB its seems pretty pathetic to dislike someone because of their team.

Amen

I don’t use Steelers ever

Browns it depends(probably no Garret since he kills us but if the card is insane and gets ravens chem maybe)

I kinda like the bengals(mostly because I got chase, chase brown, and burrow in fantasy this year)

Using Bengals as a Ravens fan is the lowest of the low

Jacoby Jones, Le'Veon Bell, TJ Watt, and Troy P are the only exceptions I make for Steelers players (obviously bc 2 of them also were Ravens)

Using Polamalu and TJ Watt is about as disgusting as it gets

It's part of competition and sportsmanship to be loyal to your own guys, and oppose rivals. It is what makes the game fun!

Just cause you're spineless when it comes to these things doesn't make anyone else pathetic for having some class towards the game

I absolutely 100% agree. I run a real true Raiders theme team. Won't have it any other way. If a player never played for my Raiders irl they won't be making my squad. You'll never see Mahomes, Kelce, Nix, Herbert, Purdy, Cmac etc on my team.

How it should be, and cause of that you deserve the abundance the Raiders have been blessed with this year

I don't really care as long as they get vikings chem. Looking to get the best team possible and not spend too much.

Fraud alert

Imagine caring how someone else builds their team in Madden.

I have to play vs you nerds whenever I sign on, so I have my own opinion on it.

Why waste time commenting if you think me caring about this is lame? You comment on lame posts? Why do you care about lame posts on a random mut forum?
