50 50 theme team thoughts.

Just wondering what everybody else thinks about 50/50 theme teams. And how they approach the game once they get there.

Just got my Vikings team to 50/50. Kind of feel like now that I'm there I don't have to be to hyped about the new promos. If I get a good Viking player in a new promo I can throw them in. If there aren't any, the team I've got is a solid 92 OVR. So I don't need the focus so much on the new promos anymore. And I don't need to get frustrated when a new promo has no cards for my team.

I find TT to be overly restrictive and boring.  Same player (for the most part) every year.  As a Vikings fan I consider myself to be the best GM in Viking history...as the purple and gold got amazing cards from across the league in the lineup...they are all Vikings once they put on the uniform.

I have tons of respect for those that run 50/50 TT.  I don't use one this year but I have in years past. I think it can be a pretty fun way to play mut. That said it can be pretty miserable if your TT is missing useable players at crucial positions like the pats are missing a qb. I know you can always use a filler spot but personally if I'm using a 50/50 I'd like to stick to players that at least have the team chem

now that team captians get x2 it makes getting a 50/50 or two 25/50 much easier. I like running a 50/50 because I mainly play squads, and when you have two 50/50 of the same team you get +4s instead of +2s. can be very helpful with not as useful players.

I play 50 giants TT but will switch over to 25/25 giants/49ers soon. Too many holes in giants right now.

The team captains update helps a ton.

My Crowder and Berry are both x3 Minnesota. And Tarkington as well. 

Helps a lot when x2 and x3 chems start coming out.

my first year i played mut was 19 and i made a god squad but i dont play competitive so i dont worry if my 50/50 rams squad is the best or anything like that and i have more fun with it…..although last year i never got to 50/50 since i quit in like february and i had started doing a hybrid squad of chargers and rams for an all L.A. team

This year it feels like EA is hoping everybody will make 50 50 theme teams of the most current promo.

Obviously to try to increase their income from pack buying.

By giving speed boost strategy cards of that promo. Then  nerfing them at the start of the next promo.

And they make sure there are plenty of cards for each promo to make a 50 50 theme.

I’ve been using a ZC 50/50, but I’ve been tempted to go with a colts 50/50, but the defense, especially secondary scares me a little

Why do we say 50/50 instead of 50 TT?

I run a 50/50 Raiders TT and actually enjoy playing like that better than no TT. We have a pretty decent TT with a lot of players that I like so it’s enjoyable. I’d only run a 50/50 if you really root for your team. 
Luckily with the team captain update I can throw in a few dudes who aren’t Raiders players. I honestly don’t find it very restrictive and the +2 speed boost makes a big difference when playing (also allows you to hold on to players a lot longer cuz they can keep up with the newer players).

Also you build up a lot more coins cuz you’re really only shooting for 1 or 2 players each promo.

Really? The chem stacks to +4 on squads?? Did not know that

Prove it cuz there’s no way ur telling me if I have a 50/50 ravens theme and by buddy has the same but Deion sanders would have +4 speed so it would be 99 speed 99 acc and agility how….

even since madden 22 I have run 50/50 TT for me I always save up all my coins and have a good team and every time they drop a good player from my team I buy with my money that I saved right now I run 50/50 49ers team and have 3million coins and will save up to buy all new players and that for me is fun
