Thoughts on OOP Players

-It’s extremely unrealistic

- BS oop cards are often better than a player that ACTUALLY PLAYS THAT POSITION.

-  Makes the game even more cheesy 

-Madden is suppose to be a SIMULATION football game, this sht is PURE ARCADE. And no, I can’t just play franchise if I want a sim experience. franchise f*cking sucks and gets neglected every single year. It wouldn’t be so bad if there weren’t so many sh*t bags out there league hopping, roster dumping, ai trading, dashing, conceding, etc. It’s been clear for years EAs priority is their mut game mode, and nothing else. They need to give up the rights to simulation football, but we all know they won’t do that cause they’re greedy money who*es.

Franchise is a simulation and it's not as bad a ppl say also mut is arcade no one said it's realistic

Good but also bad

There are some really fun oop players to use for the memes that can be good but then there's guys like QB Derick Henry and LB Josh Allen who become the best at their position

Josh is 6'5 with free LA and Derick has been broken since they made his card

Then there are other things like corners at WR who will fit in and be as good as other WRs and not just OP

Love the OOP! It’s a different spin during the holiday season to change it up… I do miss the Moss CB. it’s an opportunity for MUT to include them in future promos too…

You need to separate the poll based on age. I promise you it’s a factor in these results.

That was a discreete yet perfect comment. Older folks tend not to like it because they’ve watched football (irl) for years and have fond memories of great players from the past. They (I’m included in this group) don’t want to see their idols in positions they never played in their entire careers.

I hate them. I suppose I’m fine with realistic cards like the Derrick Henry because he actually played QB, but making up random David Bakhtiari edge rusher cards bothers me.

I’ve seen recently in a few forums that there’s a lot of people who don’t like OOP cards. To people who don’t like them what’s your reasoning? I’m genuinely interested

Why do I hate the bulk of OOP cards? Because they are grossly unrealistic. Yes, Deion played some WR, and Fridge some RB. Ok. Most of the rest are not only egregious violations of NFL history but they aren't made realistically. A Megatron CB should AT LEAST have a low AWR, no?

If they don't bug you then you probably loved the Leon Sandcastle wack from years ago too.

I am not a fan of OOP cards unless the player actually played OOP.  

It's just a personal preference.   Otherwise, I'd rather see cards deserving of upgrades not get passed over in favor of an OOP card.

I gut it, it's a game and clearly OOP are popular enough that EA keeps putting them out there.  I just won't use them unless, as I said, the specific card/player actually played OOP.

After submitting my reply to the poll it reinforces my belief that enough people like OOP for EA to keep making them.  To each, their own - just not my forté

This is a true statement

I only like tall OOP DBs. Don‘t care about the others.

I like the most realistic fantasy type line-ups. Not sure why, but it bothers me to work hard to get one of the best LOLBs in the game and then there is a QB, Josh Allen, equal to this player.  Or if we have a decent field pass reward that gets immediately trashed by a QB that would get his block knocked off by all linemen, tight ends. running backs and some receivers.
