EA killed theme teams

There just aren’t enough carss for different teams to build a good theme team.  I’ve been stuck at 83 for weeks.  I’ll never chase the best cards so I can show off. I’m sure things will get better, but I have to use so many bad cards to make a 50/50 team, meanwhile if you use a Steelers TT or cowboys or 49ers your in good shape.  I’m quickly losing interest in the game since EA seems to cater to specific teams while leaving other TT hanging out to dry.

Agreed.  There’s just not enough cards released.  I run a 50/50 bills theme team and for almost two weeks my only cards were a 79 olb and 83 rg.  The lack of team affinity promos and sets has made it tougher this year.  It’s just kinda sucked the fun out of it for me.  I used to play daily now I’ve logged in just to get those two cards above and even that was boring

The meta switch from theme teams to promo teams is another change I hate in MUT. More greed.

Totally feel yall but meh, it's still early yet. As a Raiders fan the only really good cards we've gotten so far are Rice, Sapp, Woodson & Bo so yeah content  has really been stagnant. I'm pretty sure we'll see things steadily pick up here soon. Ofcourse we have to rely mostly on legends seeing as we haven't drafted well at all the last few years smh.

Seems like last year around this time the Raiders were getting cards left & right, that was probably because the game was dedicated to Madden. I'm hoping to see Stabler since I missed out on him last year. Really wanna see Jack Tatum back as well.

You get good cards? colts dont get no one

Ya unless you run the meta TT to start the year most TT will have a lot of holes until zero chill, and with limited amount of champions per promo this year it could take even longer

They need to use the FIFA method.

All legends released at launch and through out the year you can release upgraded versions. Madden badly needs more cards. Team diamonds should have three cards for each team - 85, 88 and 90. 

do something, anything.

Cowboys are in good shape?  Not in any kind of competitive online. I didn’t do RP, so no TE.  No QB….I have better z THP than that Grier card.  dLine is great. QBs are good if you have a lot of coins. Safeties are obsolete. WRs are obsolete. MLBs are unusable.  Agree with your post. EA has killed TTs. Even the good ones now….Steelers…..will have trouble when all their 89 ovrs are going up against 92s and 93s. somehow, EA has lost sight that whales will spend and stay engaged regardless. People here for theme teams and the like might spend some if the content was there. Not this year and content trickle. I’m pure NMS for the first time ever and will stay that way and take the free stuff I can grind for and good cards when the shine wears off and the price drops.

Its the start of the year.... you dont see all decent TT till at least Christmas and then full ones at the end of the year. Its how it ALWAYS has worked. Thats why they advise to go 25/50 and then other filler good cards.

I'm 31 Chargers TT, best I can do at this point. Takes patience, man, too early to run a max TT.

I personally just want to put the best team on the field that I can because my focus in MUT is to simply win games.  I have zero loyalty to my favorite team (Steelers).   

I used to always be a Legends TT guy until last year when they introduced the TT Remix promo which made true theme teams even better.  So last year I ended up with Ravens. Now that EA has eliminated Legends team chems completely... their strategy is to get guys like me to frequently change out our teams.  

We're only two months in... and I've made significant changes five times already... I started with best players available.  Then I went to Seahawks.  Then to Campus Heroes/Seahawks.  Then to Seahawks/Chiefs.  Now I'm on Chiefs/Steelers.  It's only a matter of time where I'll be switching over to the usual suspects (Cowboys... Raiders... Niners).  It's rough going for anyone rocking a true 50/50 TT this early in the year.

so you not having enough cards this early in the year for a tt is EA's fault? its honestly a dumb thing to complain about since people are also complaining about ovr's going up to fast and then having no new content in march and april. EA is trying to slow down ovr's going up stupidly fast and so your not gonna have an insane amount of cards. let alone we arent even in october yet lol

The game has been out for a little over a month guys, relax. Unless you're the Chiefs or Eagles (the two teams that made the Super Bowl last year,) you can't expect to have enough depth to field a true theme team yet. Early on, maybe do a 25 TT and fill the rest with fillers. I personally do 25 Cowboys and 25 Campus Heroes and it's a great way to get boosts and fill your weak spots. If your team doesn't have many legends and isn't getting a ton of promo cards yet, then you can't be upset at not fielding a competitive team, versus someone who uses best available cards, versus using a theme team this early on.

Yet they have no problem pumping out legends and high cards for the cowboys, chiefs, Steelers, 49ers.  Your argument holds no water. there is something to bitch about here.
