Are Theme Team Boosts Worth It?

I find myself each year switching from one theme team to another every one or two weeks. I am too indecisive to stick with just one for the whole year. Is the +2 speed boost really worth/needed to be successful on offense and defense, or can you get by with just the regular speed ratings for players?

I think they are if you do your favourite team. The emotional buy in to the players helps but the boosts help keep some of those players relevant.

Less effective than past years. At 45/50 my Chargers are only getting overall blue bumps on cards that are getting additional boosts from strat cards - which also appear to be similarly nerfed from last year. EA is reverting back to best cards versus TT cards which is why every MCS pro used the same Aaron Rodgers, and why there is much less variety in opponents in H2H.

Bad move IMHO.

They're doing this to try and milk more money, which is disgusting, considering this is supposed to be a tribute to John Madden.

I personally am having a blast with my TT and the coins I'm saving has be very rewarding. It's weird that this site says my team is 47 of 50 but my console is 52 of 55 . I am getting the full boost. There is a few weak spots but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Either you didn’t turn someone or you have the team strat card on console and they don’t show here.

Your right. I forgot I have the team strategy card on my line-up for the 3x players. Thank you.

It was better when your team items contributed to chems and 25/25 teams were viable with +1 spd. Having said that TT's help keep costs down and give great boosts but they're not necessary to compete.
