How many really think it would be a better gaming experience? I say yes.
1000% yes. And if they NEED to keep them, do what they did in 20 where only 3 players on each side of the ball can have abilities and an X-Factor. Sick of the KOs and Freight Train. That’s probably my biggest complaint from this whole game. Never seen such bigger bailouts in my life and that’s including Dashing Deadeye in 20 when there was no yard cap on it.
I don’t think they need to take them out but they do need a severe nerf.
yes and no.
Yes. Make them player specific, make bazooka an ability for someone like mahomes/herbert who can absolutely LAUNCH the football. fright train for derrick henry who is like tackling a fright train, SIE for micheal thomas who predominantly run short in routes. same thing on defense ETE for LT,
Id say alter them significantly, but if that cant be done then yes remove them
Or at least a game mode without them
Short Answer: Yes
Long Answer: Yes
No I don’t think they should be taken out but they should be reworked completely. Eliminate X-Factors that start on, fix discounts, cap the number of players that can have Abilities, and so on. Although don’t know if we should even get 24 anyways and the franchise change hands away from EA
it would still be the same game, with the same dumb animations, same broke zones, and worst of all the DDA. only difference would be that people would have even less control over what actually happens in the game. DDA would choose who’s players were allowed to do what.
The game will suck till it’s rebuilt from the ground up with a lead developer that isn’t Clint oldenburg.
For some people they need the Abilities to win a game, for others they don't.
EA should also provide Ability free modes for Mut Champs, Squads, and H2H.
People who want abilities can still play with them and those who don't can play with their teams against others who also don't.
Yes. They need to program it like real football. A couple points I'd like to make:
1. QBs shouldn't need SFL/PLE in order to be usable. Just program the card so it plays like an NFL QB. They should play as if they have these abilities anyway. As for something like Gunslinger, it shouldn't be necessary.
2. Organic pass rush. No abilities. Shouldn't need ET and DON in order to generate pressure. Pressure should be determined by 1 on 1 matchups and personnel. If I'm blitzing 8 players then I should get pressure but WRs should be wide open. If I rush only 3 or 4 the amount of pressure should be lower, except in the case where an edge rusher is not double teamed and is vastly superior in ratings to the lineman.
