[PER EA & GMM Updates] Westry PUP, AP & Sugar rush Objectives.

Will update when they confirm on GMM here soon.

**Will be in packs on Friday**

From GMM:

 -Chris Westry Power Up is targeted to release on Friday

 -Sugar Rush objectives were not supposed to expire yet and should return today

 -Escape Artist will be increasing +3 for all Archetypes today

The devs at EA only work two days a week. Friday for a simple PU?? Only good news is escape artist increasing +3 AP

They REALLY don't want people using Escape Artist, do they?

they might as well just take it out of the game

I mean, it'll basically be unusable after this, because it'll be like 16 AP

yup

Sugar Rush Objectives are back now.

Escape artist should just be taken out of the game, or at least restricted to non-MUT game modes.

You know people are gonna bitch about it if they do that.

Good thing I dont use EA so I dont mind :)

Escape artist is too powerful. There is no defensive counter ability to it.  What ea should do is put a defensive spy ability that counters it so he doesn't just run away.  Short of doing that this is the right move.  It needs to be stupid expensive cuz if it isn't when Henry drops the winning team will always have him running pa boot over.

But what about the people who run it because they're sick of getting sacked by meta blitzes over and over?

so this spy abillity will be 16 ap as well? 

personally i think people should run hrm and escape artist

it may be overpowered, but that's the sacrifice. No route techs, no gunslinger/psl OR hrm, no outside apprentices, edge protectors, and no running back abillities. it's the sacrifice you know you have to make. 

i think maybe raising it to 18 ap would be the worst thing they could do, but taking it out of the game is NOT a good idea they could lose a lot of future sales that way.

EA next Friday POV:

Good Morning Madden Ultimate Community! Update on AP today! Instead of decreasing the AP on Escape Artist from 16 to 14 or adding 3 AP to offense, we’re gonna make the Escape Artist cost 37,000 Training, and raise the AP by 2! 
Have a nice day
