I’m LOVING the AP change…

Me too hone I thought it would be really bad but I’m doing ok, without a god squad too I’m seeing a lot less aka x-factors as well

6 ap changed my def scheme entirely, i have 3 aka guys, maniac, milk man and tank, i had to turn off maniacs x factor and change tanks to run stuffer just to be able to run kos on all my dbs, decided to switch from a hybrid 3-4/4-3 to just 4-3 gonna have maniac and toty become cover lbs lol, which actually work because they both have 90+ zone lol got a feeling my pass rush might be bad now though

Planning to drop milk man and tank entirely at some point too, cant do anything with 1k credits atm lol

At the end of the day ain't that bad. I changed just 1 player on my team with the ap changes. And i have a NMS team. i am going to buy a strong center with 0 ap secure protector.

Just played a couple of games , both won. my gameplan was the same so for me didnt change much. havent used all year glitched players, so maybe i am more used to play different. Let's see

No 0AP secure pro center at the moment. I’m hoping we get one tomorrow in UL’s.

Kind of like the change personally. I had to change my lineup to find every one of the abilities I want.  Finally can experiment how important Acrobat is. Kind of like the concept of finding players that fit your scheme and whatnot. I'm running my CB's Zone KO's for my zone scheme, which all costs 1 AP. I'm still keeping my AKA X-Factors on defense, though. Put Deep In Zone KO on Ryan Neal for 1 AP, and put Lurker + Pick Artist on Pola-Mao for 1 AP. The update made me realize  how much players get important abilities for 0 AP. 

Like most people, the change wasn't the problem, it was the timing that was, but I guess better late than never.

I would take Deep In Zone off bro. It doesn’t work and has been tested and proven to not work correctly. Basically, it doesn’t cause knockouts like it’s supposed to… not like Deep Out Zone anyway.

A new meta will just take its place

Even with the ap changes, it did absolutely nothing to the meta, just had back to back cheesers running plays that have routes always open, had to manually user to cover it, the cb just wouldnt cover it, tried multiple different cover plays, even man, and still wouldnt work, they both did nothing but sam will blitz all game, the ap change was nothing but for making us pay EA more money for GTS, that is literally it

I for one am finished with madden, part of me knows MUT could be great if they gave us more reward for playing the game,  for instance, more coins per match so we can actually grind for new cards and not just buy packs, I have finally seen the light, EA will never see another dime from me in terms of madden, I hope EA loses its license, before it is too late

I like it. People need to understand that it’s better because it means that you don’t play all X factor pass rushers. Also if you use a X factor halfback your using a third or a sixth of your ap

Same. It's great. No more glowing 3 xfactors and 5 acros, along with a ko for every level of the field.

I enjoy people not using the same strat

Agreed. Once you take away the X-Factors, some of these people in H2H just aren't good anymore.
