so uhh how do you feel about the ap change

Wonder if this will shoot up the price of any 2 0 ap bucket cards

Really hate this, Hope that there are more free abilities.

Relying on abilities is always a sad and terrible way to play.

its hard playin 99 offenses with a 95 defense is so difficult im sorry i disappoint you

it did take 99 aaron rodgers for example

I like it I want EA to permanently remove abilities so this is a step in the right direction

It’s been fun tinkering the team to a perfrct 12 ap scheme that fits my defense. Offense I could care less. rodgers has 2  ap stack thats i really need

but man I don’t feel like re tinkering the defensive ap allotment

I like it. I was getting really bored with the game and this shake up makes me want to hop back in. Team building is the best part of mut and now I get to re work everything.
 

I’m just concerned that the game is currently built in a way that kind of needs a lot of them. I’m wondering if this will cause some new exploit/meta in offensive schemes. I didn’t play this game early when it came out so I don’t know what it was like but I would imagine this new update will turn the clock back on gameplay. At least until new cards come out with multiple 0 ap buckets.

it’s a bad move tbh you can still run the x factor rbs with a line of free secure protectors only thing is you might see less double or even triple aka rbs but you can legit still play almost the same on offense defense is really what takes a hit so if anything they buffed the aka rbs lol its a shame really i don’t see aka rbs disappearing at all if this is all they’ll do

Love it.  All the kids spamming AKAs without any knowledge of football because Zirksee told them to will have to learn how the game works.  Wish they'd done it sooner.

All teams will look the same. Theme teams are dead now.

I remind a thread like this one few days ago talking about who want abilities to be removed in Madden 24 and most were ok with that. And now that they remove AP everyone is crying.

Everybody being overly dramatic IMO. I already cut down my AP and it wasn't hard at all. I will still play the exact same on both sides of the ball, just gotta pick your priorities now.

Main hits on offense: the two AKAs (Quad and Big Dog). I will miss Big Dog's more. Quad's was whatever to me. I split carries between he and Aaron Jones, and it will still be that way. No change. Had to take Post Up off of my Gs, and Honorary Lineman off of Calvin (will be getting the OOP Hunt WR to take that place lol). So yeah, nothing major there.

Defense: Bye Bye Acrobat. Had it on both safeties and Deion. It may be the most overrated ability in the game IMO. It's ok on safeties, terrible on CBs (in my opinion, of course). So I put MRKO in Deion's other free slot, and that freed up a point for him. That's 3. Took Inside Stuff off of Reggie for 4, then an extra KO off of my other 2 CBs for 6. Still have DON and ETE (1) on Clay and DON on Van Ness (1) and Reggie (0). I can always take ETE off of Clay and DON off of Van Ness if needed to put extra KOs back on CBs.

So yeah, this shit isn't rocket science. Everybody just mad they can't have everything equipped on everyone. You'll get over it.
