EA killed theme teams

That’s why I wait until like January to start going for 50/50. For now most of my team is just BND rewards

That is the whole point of your MUT. People play for lots of reasons. No stretch of thinking at all to understand why someone would, in MUT and not regs, want to play with a theme team that includes past players and legends from their own team. Also easy to understand someone that has the newest best card at every position and likes the promo chems. EA could have all of these exist in the same game mode without much trouble and without  sacrificing competitive balance. Hard to understand anybody who doesn’t want and expect more content and more variation in what they see online, but to each his own. Peace.

you know whats going on, whats the point of complaining about it yearly? we know how it works, they have been doing the same thing for I don't know how many years now.

Steelers are one of the better pure TT's right now but, depending on your scheme,  a 50/50 Steelers TT really has to be flexed at the following positions... LT, RT, TE, WR3, DT2, OLB, and CB3.   Even then you're not putting a lot of the best players in the game on the field.  It's Tyreek OR Calvin (not both) no decent linebackers other than maybe Watt (and that's a stretch)... RE Cam Heyward is barely usable... Minkah at FS is too slow at this point.  

Hopefully EA will continue to release good Steelers players... would love to see Mike Webster, Alan Faneca, Maurkice Pouncey, Dermontti Dawson, Mel Blount, Kevin Greene, Shazier, Jack Lambert, Jack Ham, James Harrison, Gregg Lloyd, Joey Porter, Rod Woodson, Carnell Lake, Donnie Shell.

Great list you have there that’s what im talking about.

Perfectly reasonable thought. EA has less cards in every promo now.  Not more.  TOTW would be engaging for everybody if my sucky team had a shot at an 80 overall LG When they lose. and let’s all remember, this isn’t a reward to fans of teams and players that perform well.  This is a business to make money.   EA needs new developers to correct the endless bugs and poor gameplay and they need new people in content that draw in players.

TOTW is the one promo where it seems like someone actually cares. I wish they'd put a lot more cards in those, and less of these garbage cookie cutter promos.

They wouldn't have released 2 Terrel Bernards and that FB with a kick return TD if it was just about money.

how would they release players from all 30+ teams every week all year long? that would be REGS.... same thing, you'd be playing regs w/ legends I guess? whats the point of that. it's good like it is, if you don't want to do god squad then suffer using a theme team, a theme team shouldn't be able to compete with someone who bought all the latest cards, it would make no sense.

I don't mind theme teams but you're right. Theme teams shouldn't be able to compete with top teams since that kind of kills the point of MUT imo. People can do what they want but you can't expect a theme team to compete with the top cards in the game

Nobody ever said best player god squad theme teams. Less diversity in the meta every year. Not sure why people with the 87 and 88 overall best player teams would be threatened or offended by viable 85 over theme teams, but it isn’5 going to change anyway. Cheers to all however you choose to play.

you already have viable 85 ovr theme teams, people are just complaining. just enjoy the game man, trying to constantly break it down and change everything just isn't going to happen. if your theme team is gabbage, guess what, you might have a real life team that ain't so good as well, face it.

I just wish they did like last year where season pass guys had all chems. I get that its not really cool to have all these players with all these chems (usually run strictly eagles and have 50/50 now) but it really helps with the tt's since EA is so lazy with the card distribution.

This is my theme team 42/50

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.

What TT are you using?

I’m very competitive.  A lot of people with high ovr teams don’t want to play because they equate lower ovr with bad players. Not the case with me at least. When I play squads, need a competent player, not necessarily someone with a god squad. They most likely are one play meta wonders.  not a fan of them.

I don’t expect them to release cards for all teams, but do expect a little more diversity.  I see way too many cards for specific teams.  Pick different players for diffeeent teams. Lately, Steelers and 49ers seem to be getting the cards.

Yet is it there fault the generic legends that are dropped every year just happened to play for those teams?

It’s their fault that they pump out the same old stale legends.  Maybe one year we could get a “No felons” promo?  That way we wouldn’t seem a lot of the same garbage, like Vick….or Lawrence Taylor, or ray lewis….
