I’m hyped. Flashbacks have some of the best card art in Madden history. Hopefully they make a return and the art is as good as last year’s.

Yea I like the flashbacks because it's usually a player in a different team's uni, and I actually think that's pretty cool, especially for people who try to get their tt's all in their team's card art

Can't really do rising stars bc the season is over, hopefully vets or flashbacks

They could do it like the end of last year: good performances on the year (or young players that need an upgrade)

Yeah, you're right. I somehow missed this.

No worries. You're all good

not counting pups legend pieces redux or his lower ul card its 7

Ahhh okay. I counted every card because u can technically use every card

DJNightHawk said:

technically 7 but still

Wdym 7? Even if I remove the legend pieces and the LTD legend and his UL redux it still doesn't add up in my head

I think it's not important to always get the best players, it's just about abilities. I always let my Oline fall behind my other players, not because they aren't important but if I have good abilities then that 2 ovr won't make a huge difference. I think qb and rb are the positions I cycle through the most but it's more important to have a 94 QB with hrm and gunslinger then the 96 denard.

Yea oline falls behind for me in general. Once I got 90+ RBK and PBK idk about oline. However, that new Hilgenberg with free post up. May scoop. And I want to get a few nasty streaks on my guards for running. Haven't changed off Kenneth Walker since…

Yeah those are just the 89s. Theres still 90/91 and then 92s etc that could get it before we recycle Revis a month later. 

At least we dont have Reed every program and position again.

Omfg that Ed Reed haunted Madden 22. It was actually like wtf. 16 different Ed Reed cards, and I counted 3 times to confirm.

I think Thresholds/abiltities/discounts are the biggest factors.

I havent looked at Youngs abilities/discounts yet but if they are that much better/end game then yeah its good but I would rather them cycle older ones. Theres still a handful of 89-91s they havent done but theyre recycling 92-94 already. Take bettis for example, hes one of the heaviest rb in the league. He still has a base 89 with nothing on it. Id rather him get a 98+ at this point as his next upgrade but hed be the best power back with free Bruiser and 1 ap tank. Or on the D side, Deacon Jones could get ETE/DON for 1 AP total at this point.

Exactly! There's also 89 Andre Reed, Mike Vrabel, Bruce Matthews, and Steve Montana that all need upgrades

Agreed. They need to start upgrading the 92 Team Diamonds. And Team Diamonds 2 needs to come out (it did around this time last year). EA can erase some of the negatives from all of their mistakes and poor choices for the first half of this Madden by focusing on providing lots of content and eliminating all of the errors they seem to have with every launch. Judging by the launch of Season 3, though, that may be wishing for too much.

Yea that's a bit much. However I do feel we're getting close to the next team diamonds drop. Probably next 2 weeks

There's been a lot of talk about EA recycling cards, and that has made me question when is a card worth an upgrade?

Note: poll is between last card's highest to their new highest. Example: Steve Young is a 3 overall difference (93 All-Madden to 96 …

Likewise. I'm a fan of getting more current players, and both of these promos will provide that. I love Legends, but EA has been heavily focused on them this year while many of our TTs are being neglected at various positions because EA keeps recycling the same Legends over and over.

I run a legends tt right now to play online (I'd run a niners otherwise) and I do wish there were more current players. However, EA needs to add more legends and not recycle 93s into 96

smsteuck said:

We're also getting AKA back for Mondays, but only with current players.

True. I was more excited for the Wildcard Wednesdays. Was a favorite promo set of mine from last year.

acomplixsituation said:

Where exactly does it say this on the Gridiron Notes for this update? I have checked the relevant EA page, and there is no mention of it anywhere.

The 1st paragraph on the original gridiron notes off the EA page

On today's gridiron notes, there was a mention to "Wildcard Wednesday" return. What are your guys' thoughts on that, and what promo do you want to see return?

Me personally, I want Veterans back.
