Ring of honor HYPE THREAD

Surgical0ffense said:

One reason this was such a great program was because if you do a 99 set, you got two 98s with it. The skill players had the necessary speed to be end-game and the abilities were good.  The OL and DL got solid abilities as well.  It was the best program last year and completing the set gave you 3 end-game cards. They had really good card art as well. Hopefully EA keeps with the same style they did last year with the sets and getting two 98s back...giving 3 end-game cards. You could have sold the 99ovr and it basically gave you two 98s for cheap. They haven't done that this year. They used to do it with Combine and TOTY. Didnt this year. Hopefully they do it for ROH.

Maybe I am wrong but it seems they brought this program out later then they did last year. I remember ROH players being available in the Easter Egg program last year.

Pardon me for being cynical and weary of ea money grabs sincerely

Dont think ea or half the community recognizes shady mccoy as a roh or elite player unfortunately but dawkins on the other hand does get respect.

They sure af wont be giving free bnd cards in the sets either. Not this year sadly.

Last year...the Ring of honor cards were the best in the game

As we have already reached 99 overall...now cards will be based on abiltiies/X Factors

I expect the Ring of Honor to be (5) players - same as last year and the cards to have 2-3 0AP Abilities and start on XFactor

They could get up to 3-4 million coins, depending on how rare and overpowering they are

As for the positions...last year we got RB, WR, TE, DB and Edge Rusher

This year...I think its QB, RB, WR, MLB, DB

.

For QB...I think it has to be Steve Young or John Elway...They are in the game every year...and I think theres a reason we havent gotten one of their cards yet

.

For RB, Walter Peyton...as he hasnt gotten an AKA LTD or a UL yet...it would be the perfect time for him to get an upgrade with 0AP Angry runs

.

For TE, either Antonio Gates or Mike Ditka...neither has gotten a card this year.

They just gave Gronk an upgrade, Shannon Sharple has a UL and Tony G got it last year

.

For MLB, Ray Lewis...they gave him a 96 card but that was part of a season quest...He hasnt gotten a program upgrade since Cover Athletes

.

For DB, Darrele Revis...he hasnt gotten an upgrade in a while and wont be getting an AKA card as the last CB just went to Denzel War

Other option would be Richard Sherman or Kam Chancellor, but I've leaning towards Revis

Charles Woodson got a UL, so hes out

I think we gonna get a S, MLB, QB, RB, C, and DT, 3 for each sides, and important positions that need a major upgrade

Last year RoH was great especially since I got Tony Gonzalez BND free after I got the MUT.GG Member of the Week along with MrAgentSochi (RIP) snd all the cards were amazing and I hope they don’t mess it up this year

Yeah, maybe not. Im not sure if they were BND 98s or not. I just remember putting in two 98s to get a 99. Sell the 99 (while the price was high) and you got two 98s for like 300k a piece (which was cheap for a 98last year I believe).

I think EA will do something similar this year. The game is almost over. I dont see ROH getting special X-Factors, though. If they decide between ROH or GT getting special X-factors, I would have to think it that it will be saved for GT.

Now...the GT would be a money grab....

Maybe I am wrong?

A GT QB with the god stack and pre-lit X-Factor Omaha that stays lit all game for 2-3 AP? Everyone will want this card.

Sochi dug their own grave talking the most and biggest shit thinking they were above everyone here. No rip

Good riddance 

That being said the fact we don’t get bnd cards back for sets makes this an another obtuse demeanor promo from ea.

Omaha is the most hand holding skill less bum catering anything in madden history.

😆.  I dont disagree. I mean, Angry Runs as well.

Those two are just.....I dont know.

Gotta love hitting the RB, he breaks a tackle, then he gets wrapped up and the defenders throw him 5 yards up the field for a 5 yard gain 😆

Real cheese is user your DL with UF...that might be the cheesiest thing in the game. Nothing can stop it, not even Secure Protector. Now, double team will stop it, but cant double team 3 pre-lit Unstoppable Force DL.

I’m ok with all of the above minus Omaha. There has been rbs in nfl history that are extremely difficult to tackle and blast thru people for 3 yards total. We have pass rushers that if you don’t double it’s instadeath for your qb or rb. 
 

Film study is a gray area more annoying than anything but understandable and it correlates to irl football. You ran this play out of this formation 100 times. It’s an educated predictable guess. 
 

However-

You don’t know what anyone is doing on either side of the ball unless you’re in the huddle. That’s my point there. Too unrealistic

Yeah. Good point. Tom Brady and Manning are probably the closest. 

Have you ever usered an Unstoppable Force? Its truly Unstoppable when you user it. I can get in the backfield as soon as the ball is snapped. Maybe it somewhat realistic, but to me and in my opinio  this is a video game and while it may be realistic, the gameplay cannot be cheese and overpowered in one area.

I can make someone rage quit very fast with usering and Unstoppable Force. Basically, I guess I'm saying the game is not enjoyable with this overpowered ability. At least not to me.

While we want gameplay to be realistic, I personally want and think most want to have a good gameplay experience as well. 

Again, I can make probably 80 percent of players quit by usering a DL with UF. To me, the biggest cheese in the game and it can't be an enjoyable experience for those facing it.  I also dont like Angry Runs. Angry Runs takes zero skill to me. And some games, Angry Runs is just wayyy too OP. Unstoppbale some games. Again, there is no skill in it. Not to me anyways.

They have never done xfactor gt and i dont see it this year either but hey if it gets your hopes up great but personally this company has let me down too many times.

In this instance, it’s up to me to either block him with extras or run/pass away from them. Just like jj watt, Aaron donald, LT, Reggie etc.

I don’t think these were pleasurable experiences for offenses facing these kinds of Guys either

Well, you can double team it with 2 OL, but other then that there isnt anything you can do. 

If you use a RB? I can blow right through him easily right after I blow through a single block from an OL. 

So, double him with two OL? Not gonna do any good because I have 3 OP pass rushers with X-factors....

My DL:

SAPP UF

99 Donald

Karlaftis Colossus

Micah Parsons with Defensive Rally

For the record,, I dont user my DL. Im just saying it is OP when you use it.

My guesses for the 99 cards are:

Joe Montana at QB

Walter Payton at RB

Megatron at WR

Rod Woodson at CB or Troy P at SS (didn't realize Rod wasn't in game yet)

Michael Strahan at DE
