There just aren’t enough carss for different teams to build a good theme team.  I’ve been stuck at 83 for weeks.  I’ll never chase the best cards so I can show off. I’m sure things will get better, but I have to use so many bad cards to make a 50/50 team, meanwhile if you use a Steelers TT or cowboys or 49ers your in good shape.  I’m quickly losing interest in the game since EA seems to cater to specific teams while leaving other TT hanging out to dry.

49er theme is literally 83. games barely been out 6 weeks

Yet is it there fault the generic legends that are dropped every year just happened to play for those teams?

my thing is they have the whole NFLPA list. they put chuck howley in the game a 84 year old man now and then 15 year tenured  cowboys  linebacker who i highly doubt had the capacity to walk to EA headquarters to be put in the game.    (a dude who's picture is black and white and played the game when horses we're the main  transportation.)

they choose who sells the most packs sometimes save them other times don't. but the point is they have  a abundance of catalog players to use. i'm pretty sure  they could of found a legend who didn't play for the such and such popular team if they properly search but like companies when they want money release the big money players.

randall "always cashing checks in every madden" cunningham, harold carmichael (nowadays), randy moss etc.

You get good cards? colts dont get no one

Andrew Luck 89

Q Nelson 89

Gilmore 88 what are you blabbering about

I just finished my 50/50 TT yesterday. Only 2 MLBs and no FBs on Eagles so I had to use secondary positions on Reddick, Edwards and Poyer

agreed.  ususaly in late August i have my decision made for the year and am acquiring cards.  

there just isnt enough inventory out there and they dont want the boosts to hurt the new cards.

It's way too early to expect a good 50/50 TT. As in, probably 3 months too early. We have not even had a big promo yet (the likes of Most Feared, Thanksgiving, Zero Chill). Personally, I feel like the slow grind this year is way better for me. I usually never field a competitive team this early and only do solos and challenges. Granted, I have had the most insane luck with pulls so far this year, but I've been able to keep up with H2H so far when I wouldn't have touched it yet in previous years.

I posted that before Luck was out, hadn't seen Nelson yet. and Gilmores an LTD that would take an absolute miracle to get. That kinda proves my point, the only decent cards the colts ever get are usually LTDs for another team that played a year or so with indy, or are known for their time with other teams(Gilmore, Cromartie, Gore, Faulk, Cornelius Bennett last year). And whereas the Cowboys, 49ers, Steelers, and Raiders TTs are god squads all year, the colts only get a few really good cards a year. Where is Reggie Wayne, Bob Sanders, Robert Mathis, etc).

I don't think either side of this argument is 100% right.  Theme teams aren't awful.  I went 25-0 in MUT Champs with a 50/50 Bills TT (granted that was earlier in the year, but I'll take it).  I can also consistently win with my 50/50 Bills TT.  That being said to those denying theres any issue at all that's just not true.

I would say one of the biggest issues this year is the lack of team chemistries floating around.  By this time last year we had season champs with 32 team chems (if my Ramsey had Bills chems it would be a huge help.  There were upgraded strategy cards for each team.  You could get a green or blue Bills card to help with chems.  There was a fleshed out team affinity program with more filler players.  And lastly there were cards with 2X team chems.

All of these things allow you to overlook glaring issues with TTs.  More chems means more filler players so I can plug a hole here or there.

Thats crazy to complain the Colts dont get any players but then say well the good ones are too expensive. Bobby Okereke and Josh Downs and Zaire Franklin are there too if you cant afford 88s and 89s. Bob Sanders/Reggie Wayne would be 800,000 at least if they were released
