Best Abilities for Announced Golden Tickets- Collab With Geo7030

This is a thread consisting of the announced Golden Tickets that have not yet been released and what I and Geo7030 think they will look like. With the release of the first golden tickets underway, we now have an idea of what these golden tickets will look like. Below are 35 Golden Tickets that have just been announced but not revealed and what we think they will look like. Any players that have been released will be linked to their golden ticket. Once a Golden Ticket is released in the game we will edit the OP and add the reveal picture and their 0 AP abilities and other details. Also, remember you will need a Golden Ticket token to unlock a player's second 0 AP ability. You can unlock this token by exchanging 1x 92-93 OVR Player of Any Program.

Now to get into it...

What do you think of this year's GTs? What's your favorite one?

I have a feeling every single GT CB will have 0ap acrobat and PA and every single GT QB will have 0ap GS and Fearless 😆 😆. I heard some abilities couldn't be picked by the creators like HRM or SFL. I bet A-Rod will still be better ability wise than the GT qb's and that competitive pass Porter will be better than his GT which is a shame.  They already damn near ruined GT Moss with his 2ap for midzone KO and terrible ability discounts. Makes GT's kinda anticlimactic for instance I would love to get GT Montana but why? When I can use A-Rod and his HRM & SFL for a total of 0ap cause I dont need GS and can live without fearless or I could always switch it up and use his 0ap Fearless to replace HRM. They really should of just built in GS for every GT QB and PA for every GT CB and let them choose between some better abilities.

Could you explain the reasoning behind giving most of the receivers Redzone threat over short in elite, short out elite, or deep out elite?

I hope this doesn't come across as too critical. I just want to learn more about the thought process.

I was typing something critical but stopped lol. I just don’t get discounting luxury abilities… you still have to pay for what you need.

I would also like to see the reasoning behind this.

It’s just a personal preference. I used to run it on all of my wideouts second to route tech before the AP decrease. With route tech I haven’t noticed a cuts being missed so I used red zone too. If you disagree then what do you think about it?

Lets be real…

all WR should be SIE/RT & SOE. 

- pay 1 ap for DOE or another luxury ability

all DBs should be Man/Zone KO & PA

- pay 1 ap for another KO or a luxury ability

all QBs should be Fearless & GS

- pay 2 ap for HRM & SFE/PLE

Edge & HBs… aka are better. Not wasting time

why discount luxury abilities first when you still have to pay for the abilities that you need. Discount Routes or a single KO gives the player much more flexibility then discounting luxury abilities like Red Zone & Acrobat

I agree with all of this

Happy to help :)

The Fearless/Gunslinger part is the only part I question because I know a lot of people don’t use fearless anymore and everyone still uses Set Feet Lead/Pass Lead Elite so why not have one of those?

and that's ok. that's the thing that makes Golden Tickets a major talking point in the community. You have pros/meta guys to the dude that hop on and "asks madden." Everyone has an opportunity of a Golden Ticket, they come from all walks of play style and understanding.

my thought process is that this is the one time of year where we are in control. Let's be a villain (a toxic card) or a hero (gods gift to the community). Build something that benefits all players.

I may be wrong but I don't believe you can discount velocity abilities to 0

i think i nailed zach wilsons potential positions
