Ability Changes from GMM

I transcribed the announcement here:

“So team diamond content we are going to show today are going to have tier two and tier three buckets similar to game changers players or the 98 overall ring of honor players.

The ability buckets still will follow the normal unlocked requirements. So for example, set feet lead still gonna require 96 throw power for scrambler quarterbacks etc.

However, all abilities once unlocked will cost one A P with the following exceptions that will cost two or more: Threat detector, hot route master, pass lead elite, film study, inside shade, outside shade and one step ahead. Those will cost two or more A P. Once unlocked.

The team will be shifting to this style of ability buckets for all content moving forward (except for sugar rush release two and this weekend's ultimate legends)”

I would just like more 0 AP stuff

100% agreed i have been loving this so far

I’m getting from this, no more double 0 AP abilities. Everyone gets one free and can get others for 1 AP. The strongest abilities are 2 AP.

which has me wondering why I would ever consider upgrading my double ability players or people who get HRM for 1 etc.… maybe ability nerf / buffs soon to make old content weaker?

I mean that would make sense but then theres no reason to upgrade from what we have then unless someone taller/bigger comes out.

Exactly. my free saftey from game changers has Film Study for 1. PA and Acrobat for 0.

there is no way I could ever replace him unless they nerf abilities / buff different abilities, Or change the cost on him For Film Study etc.

Other than that I’m all about this, with 12 AP cap that means every player on the side of the ball gets 2 Abilities. One of those abilities can be a 2 AP ability Like Threat Detector or Hot Route Master.

Yeah really makes no sens.. especially with all the boosts and chems you can add they are pretty much 99s across the board..

I don't necessarily thing it means no more double 0ap abilities. I take it as the standard from now on will be all of them 1s with the few 2s. It wouldn't make sense to limit 0ap abilities because if they do that, then end game is already  here.

There would literally be no point to upgrade unless you want the shiny 99s everywhere, because there are blue 99s everywhere at this point.

I actually think that there will be more 0ap abilities going forward. Pretty sure by game's end, our whole teams will be stacked full of abilities with all the 0's that I (assume) will be available.

I didn't like the AKA Xfactors tbh. If they are going to let them start with the abilities then it needs to be a 3-5 play limit and they all need to be that way. Example being the Aj Dillion (realistically this card was only good for his starting xfactor and never getting tackled behind the line TWICE, after he lost it he wasn't very good at all in my opinion).

I think best case scenario, well have some guys with baked in x factors like gronk/stabler but then say idk... CB with 2 0AP abilities and a 2-5 ability since it seems we arent getting more than 3 custom buckets. So like 0 Ko, 0 ko, and  3 OSA or something like that. or 0 AP, 0 Acro, 2 Inside shade.

is there a fs or a ss that gets film study for less than 3 ap

I believe the 96 Ed Reed from last season's Field Pass had it for 2 AP

I agree. The MCS is over, so they don't need to worry about complaints from overpowered cards from the comp guys. Also, MUT is coming to an end so why not tons of free abilities to the new 98-99s.
