97 Aidan Hutchinson…

Tried this card earlier, and he hasn’t gotten a single sack or tackle yet. Anyone seeing anything similar?

What abilities are you running, curious? I haven’t got to try him yet, probably tomorrow.

got some games in with him today

didn't really see too much he got some group tackles but that's about it dunlap and buckner had kinda more sacks on opposing cards then this card but madden players are kinda night and day when running schemes 

i did notice that a lot people started passing instead of running so i guess he's a fear factor i guess.....

this card was okay......keeping him but he just didn't feel all world beating......like mean joe greene or milk man

re-post of a thread i created hours ago......

Sold Nick Bosa last night, while I could still get 950k out of him, and did the set for Hutchinson. I'm using edge threat elite and pick artist on him, might switch to speedster though. Haven't seen much from him yet, except in the CPU challenges, but as long as I get about the same amount of production as I got from Bosa, which wasn't very much, I don't mind not seeing him show up much. Honestly, O-Line and QB abilities are just at a point in the game where pass rushers have almost become useless at times, until they start getting huge AP discounts as well, hopefully sometime soon. You have a better chance getting pressure by just blitzing db's.

I sold him last night. Not impressed a d he won't replace Maxx or Haley plus I have. Bosa and Milk Man 

They could have made that card a lot better,  at least 90+ PMV and FMV not just one.

Didn’t like the look of it so decided not to pick up. But how is pickartist on him does it change anything?

I felt the same way. Idk how youre supposed to get pressure besides Xfactor on the line with SP 1 AP currently and im sure end game cards will have 0 AP

He’s gotten a few tackles when I’ve used town where I sold him quickly because he didn’t really seem to be doing much. It’s kind of unfortunate because I was  expecting big things from Him

Put pass rushers in the middle and hope that the guards and center don't also have EP or SP lol.

That's why everyone runs the cheesy corner blitz because actual pass rushers get nullified by edge pro and secure pro. Only way to get heat is to blitz and fake out the AI logic. I also will run Bosa, Maxx, Milk Man and Haley as my 4 down linemen sometimes but I'd rather go with Dockett and MJG in the middle to clog things up...but at least with those 4 I know if the opposing O line doesn;t have abilities on every lineman someone will break thru

Another example of a card that looks good on paper (ratings) but doesn't play up to that level. People don't generally believe it when some of us say it but card ratings and even abilities don't always dictate how a card plays. Each card has coding within it that is tuned by EA and some play above their ratings, some play below them.

That's why those of us who have played Madden for many years know that there are certain cards that when they drop, are going to be dominant even if they look no better than similar cards at their position.

Bruce Matthews, for example. People see this card and think it's so expensive, there are other LGs with same ratings, better speed, better abilities. Kelce is faster there. Yup, yup, and yup. But guess what - Matthews plays better in game. He just does. Same with Champ Baily cards when they first drop. Mike Haynes. Lawrence Taylor, Warren Sapp, John Randle, Anquan Boldin cards, Delanie Walker, Cromwell, Theilen...etc

That last sentence is the most true lol

Just played my first game with him earlier, my last champion game. He had 4 tackles, 2 tfl, and 1 sack. Haley had 1 sack in that game to be fair, and he’s almost unstoppable. So not bad so far. I’m running ete/pickartist/speedster for 2ap.
