Are you making a TT in madden 25?
Only reason I play this stupid mode is for my Cowboys!

Whatever form my MUT squad may take, i am always going to base it on my beloved Scarlet & Gold and no matter what, we're always sporting some type of 49ers uniform, i typically prefer the Solarflare or whatever those blacked out uniforms are termed.
This year (M24 cycle) i took an extremely long time before i committed to full 50/50 Niners, ended up running 70/70 SB + 25/50 49ers (and 6/6 AKA Crews) for months. Often i'll try to go with 25/50 Niners, but depends on the content. Hate to gimp myself by missing out on top tier cards, because i've committed to a full theme team way too early in the cycle.
All that being said, i immediately begin collecting tons of 49ers players gold cards, especially from positions that will ultimately be in high demand. Hate to profit off my fellow 49er Fanatics, however I have zero issues selling back into the hype when things constantly change week to week. That's how i ended up getting my first ban (during M24), the week CMC's AKA card dropped, everyone rushed to build out a Niners theme team and i probably earned ~1.5M coins that week alone. Which was a TON back in late September and October.
Probably not right out of the gate, but possibly by October or November. Most likely it will be a Commanders theme team.
Definitely. I always make a 50/50 eagles theme team the first few days of release.
I always play with a Packers TT. That said, I learned the hard way in M24 that, despite the fact that it's cheaper, it's hard to be competitive until after the Super Bowl (roughly) with a 50/50 team. And it took *much* longer last year than in M21-M23 to get to 50/50 - especially for a team like the Packers that often is low on FBs, DTs, etc.
That said, M24 was much more generous with "all 32" team chem cards than in previous versions of the game. I'm not one of those players who gets too hung up on having actual Packers versus gimmicky TT players ("welcome to the team, legendary Packers FB Donald Penn!").
I may try to run at least a 25/50 Colts TT for the first time this year, only problem is that lately most of the good colts cards are players that are known for other teams like Andre Johnson and Marshall Faulk.
Always have and always will
Bengals and Raiders most likely. I'm a Bengals fan so I like being able to use them to their full potential but it will be on a side account. My main account will probably be Raiders since EA always gives them top end cards which just helps give an edge team wise vs others online.
50/50 Bills from day 1
I root for the Niners, but my theme team is for hire. I will probably go with whatever team has the best defensive user from Day One (Day Four?), and build around them.
I will also be giving attention to what common two or three teams the top-end players can boost. Definitely going to take a hybrid approach early on. Having terrible depth isn’t worth an extra +1 speed to players that aren’t good enough to be on the field if they had +5 SPD.
So maybe this means I’m *not* a theme team player. I’m not sure anymore.
I normally go 25/50 in the beginning but haven't decided yet.
did they remove the 50/50 bonus for TTs?
100% i will not ever go back to a TT i have more fun with Players i like

I saw a preview somewhere (sorry, no source at the moment) that showed 20/20 now gives +1 speed for theme teams. No clue if they removed the full 50/50 stuff, or if that is for later in the year.
Based on how EA approached things last year, they were constantly cycling through the "flavor of the week" theme teams, constantly changing whatever promotion was the focus at any given time, thereby essentially forcing players to remain on the hamster wheel, constantly chasing those boosts. I suspect it'll be Season of Boom to start the year.
EA made a huge mistake last year by allowing the 70/70 Superbowl theme team to be super overpowered. That and Combine promos were ahead of their time. I had no issues using the same basic SB hybrid TT for literally 2-3+ months. I have a feeling EA will try to avoid that this year. They're extremely competent at ensuring the game remains pay to win.
Trying to use terrible cards early in the year in order to commit to a theme team rarely pays off. To be determined if this year is different, but i suspect not.
