the people who pulled the golden tickets made the worst underwhelming cards ever. Do any of them actually play the game? this is the first madden I've played since 17 so i didn't know what golden tickets were so I was excited but all of them suck so far. I was expecting some OP out of position players that would be fun but no. Hassan is mid, Jayron has pretty bad stats compared to other 99 safeties, Stafford is essentially an expensive rodgers, whoever made shady is fr braindead they gave him the worst ability stack of all time literally 0 point in picking him over AKA's or barry, Moss is the only viable one but terrible agility, play rec and awarness and what happened to him getting 0 AP OSA. I wouldn't spend more than 400 - 500k for any of them and they are not the best at any of their postitions, hopefully we get some actual useful players in the second drop cus all of these are ass

I agree....this is the 1 time I actually wouldn't mind the YTers having control/say over something! Like someone made a Zach wilson...im a Jets fan and I dont even want him. Let's just hope this first wave was the worst wave 🙏
I believe EA banned some abilities from being eligible for the 0 ap bucket. If I recall correctly OSA was one of them that was banned along with some qb abilities.
I'm pretty sure some of the cards were made before the reduction to 6 ap. It wouldn't surprise me if EA didn't let the GT makers change the abilities after they submitted them even if they wanted to change after the ap decrease. Someone of them were probably made by people who aren't engaged with the greater MUT community and I know some youtubers helped with some. I know some of the youtuber ones are supposed to be memes like Zach wilson or for players on their favorite team.

Not sure I trust youtubers helping with GTs. I believe a youtuber had someone make Zach wilson as a meme.

makes no sense that they would ban that then drop boldin and i dont really think the AP change wouldve changed peoples mind on abilities they just sold

Note that these GT applications were submitted prior to the AP reduction to 6. Therefore back then, the creators were likely thinking that they’d add PA/Acro on the DB’s so that the player could select which KO they wanted, based off if they had a zone or man scheme. Also, EA prevented anyone from putting OSA, Film Study and a couple others as 0AP abilities. Which is unfortunate because 1) they then released cards like Boldin with 0AP OSA and 2) KO’s are way more important now after the AP change. Thats not the GT creators fault, that’s on EA for not being more clear, as it wasn’t even known then if GT’s would even get both 0AP abilities, or just an option for 1 of the 2. We won’t always agree on GT choices but at least there’s like 50 to pick from and maybe the EA created ones will have better discounts.
Its sad. I have 10m coins and just feel like there's no players or GT's that are worth buying. I run a 49ers TT and always get Moss' CB cards but this years just doesnt seem worth it other than his bks,ibl,hpw stats. I don't even think Stafford is better than A-Rod considering I can use A-Rod for 0ap if I want to do without fearless. They need more two 0ap ability bucket players at this point. They scaled it back after GC came out cause they wanted GT's to be sought after. In the defence of some of the creators they probably couldn't choose alot of good abilities and they didnt know about the ap reduction or are in charge of some stats like agi. Its just sad how uncreative EA is and how all the cards are so similar.
in my opinion i rather them do two things have EA make the golden tickets or get rid of them all in general
most of the best golden tickets to my memory we're created by EA Developers with no limitation.
At this rate EA out here limiting everything you can do with a created golden ticket player wether it's gameplay (99 bo jackson on every stat back in like madden 19's engine and still was at the mercy of it.) to certain abilty buckets (now)
they do whatever they want in there product/game which i don't like how there treating us as a community like inmates in a maximum security holdout.
I agree especially with some players being dupes already having a 98 or even 99! It’s kinda disappointing. There are some gems though such as Isaiah Simmons corner, Ngata FS, and I don’t like the Hassan Haskins card but I respect how unique it is. But mostly it’s rather disappointing 😣😣.

Yea I saw the list after making this post and there are some good ones but the moss one shouldve been great so they gems might not even be that good
I’m working under the assumption there’ll be a surprise dev GT drop because usually there is. They’ll probably get 0 AP KOs n stuff
I have zero interest in any of em.
First time i have accumulated enough coins ever to buy a GT, and so far I'm disappointed
They screwed the value of GTs by saturating the market with so many 99s already. These GTs just don’t stand out like in years past. No way I’m spending 1.5m per card for something similar to what I already have.
Honestly, while i do feel like the GTs could've been better, I think we should just appreciate the cards for what they are. You can't expect every single player to know the ins and outs on this mode, some people just wanted to make what they see as a cool card.
The problem isn't the cards, but the mode itself. They already released so many juiced up 99 cards, there really wasn't a lot to do make these cards stand out. The mode also relies heavily on the Meta, so these cards would have to be basically the same cards we have already, or they wouldn't be usable. This game relies so much on abilities that if a card doesn't have a certain ability, the card is rendered useless. In previous years, GTs was so exclusive and valuable because those cards had the best Attributes in the game. They have been going up on stats for years, but look at the stat difference in GTs from 17 to 23.
This Shady Mccoy GT would've been the best Rb in the game in previous years, but thanks to over-reliance in Abilities and over-saturation of juiced-up 99s, this card isn't even a top 5 RB in the game.
