50 50 theme team thoughts.

This is my first year doing a TT. I’m always all over the place chasing every card with the promo’s and now I just sit back and try to get just what I need. I did a zero chill TT and put a lot of effort into it and even with the promo being over I’m good with who I have being able to compete for awhile. I’ll finish the year out with a Dolphins squad but doing the TT made the game fun again. Been playing madden for over a decade and this is the only thing that made me stick with it in years.

I started focusing on TT a few years ago. Made the game more fun. With less need to get all the new cards. If they introduce no new Vikings worth using in a new promo, I can just focus on other field passes. And not be inundated with 30+ new solo challenges to be bored by.

The team captains update helps a ton.

My Crowder and Berry are both x3 Minnesota. And Tarkington as well. 

Helps a lot when x2 and x3 chems start coming out.

Min are only x2 how are people getting x2?

I don't like 50 since I want more of my favorite players, at this point in the yr you can run a 25 TT with a 25+ promo TT and have better OVR plus your favorite players from one of your teams...

currently running 45 ghost of present chems and 25 Jets, 94 CA Vick and CJ2K main reasons I chose 25 Jets, I get some of my favorite players and some of the best cards in the game, 50 of the same team is too restrictive for me...

yeah and having two team captains - Berry and Reed with +3 Jets is dope and opens up other chems even more, I could run 25 Jets and 50 ghost of present, probably should TBH...

actually after looking at it more to go from 45 ghost of present to 50, it would be ridiculous coin and I'd have to sacrifice 1 of my favorite players - Vick or CJ2k, I'd have to get CB Moss and Henry, then either use Archer for CJ or Perry/Luck for Vick so not really worth it as this is the reason I don't like doing all the way TT's, it doesn't give you enough freedom to use your favorite players IMO...

even since madden 22 I have run 50/50 TT for me I always save up all my coins and have a good team and every time they drop a good player from my team I buy with my money that I saved right now I run 50/50 49ers team and have 3million coins and will save up to buy all new players and that for me is fun

EA is killing me with their 49ers releases since Thanksgiving: 12 LTD players against 34 non-LTD's, with the number of unique players closer to 25. I'm trying to stay competitive without blowing through my 6m in coins. Most of the recent BND's are not good complements for my team and were immediate quicksells. For lack of the most current players, my opponents have a tremendous advantage in ability point efficiency.

Mid-November was my peak enjoyment of my 49ers theme team. Now it's a slog. I'm just hoping that we'll get some good budget-friendly players soon.

The best part is you can kind of adjust for free as you go.   For example I was using Berry and Mawae to start the year for my Lions theme, but once they got Branch and Ceedy I was able to switch to Crowder.

That flexibility is nice I've pretty well used them all at certain points.

Prove it cuz there’s no way ur telling me if I have a 50/50 ravens theme and by buddy has the same but Deion sanders would have +4 speed so it would be 99 speed 99 acc and agility how….

It's been that way for years now if you and your squad mate have the same 50/50 team you'll see your kick returner in the superbowl have speed he's not supposed to. For example base 93 speed wr returning kicks will say 97 speed(2 from you and 2 from squad mate). Also all your cards will have +1 or +2  overall in game if you look at them through the substitutions in formation. Same strategy used to stack aswell not sure if that's still a thing though.

Not sure if it's a glitch. But my Crowder is maxed out, and Berry is a couple short of maxing out. In my line up, they each get x3 min chem

Totally agree. I used to do the same, then switched.

I've noticed on peoples lineups the x3.  I have berry maxed out and there's nothing to indicate he can get x3 for me

50/50 TT can be fun but depending on the team can be tough or expensive, even a bit boring sometimes. I ran a full Cowboys team for years but last year I switched to Legends and loved it. 
This year I started a Ravens team in the beginning of the year since they had solid free players. 
I switched to Raiders for the free moss and still running it.

I started picking up cowboys players for the playoff promo and will switch then.

I also had Berry and Barber at x3, with Berry fully maxed.  I down graded Barber to try Crowder, and he was only x2.  So I went to re-upgrade Barder and now he is only a x2 Chem.  

It's driving me crazy!

I generally don’t built TTs, or at least not 50/50. I ran a Raiders theme when they had a juiced team in M22 and that was pretty much the first time. 

I have been super frugal and hoarding coins by selling my squad after only a few days of use once building it each time. Ran a team of all 400k ltds for a month around Halloween.. sold/quick sold and pretty much broke even. 

was sitting on 20M after Christmas and said screw it and built my Fins TT. Was able to quickly go 6-0 in seasons with the 90 overall team and had a great time using it as well. Cost me about 5M and it made the game fresh for me. I feel like I’d be down to run the team for the remainder of the year as long as I’m competitive with it.   

Only real fillers are Free Woolen, Free AKA Aaron Donald and I threw in Chris Johnson at RB just to have a ridiculous 4 man runningback rotation.   

It may not be for everyone, although it’s made me want to actually play seasons again and as others have said I don’t feel like I need to buy the new drop on release day. Just stack up my Dolphins as the season goes and it becomes easier and easier to keep 50/50 and have more room to play with.

I feel like 50/50 tt just make the game more enjoyable you get more excited for cards that come out that go on your tt. You will more than likely use a lot of cards that you’d never think about using
