I think the Madden MLB is the best user in the game.

John Maddens COD and AGI are horrible. Bo prolly still the best user in the game or Rodney Harrison

There’s a way to get 99 COD on your your Madden card and other MLB and safeties with 2 strat cards or you can use the combine motivator plus 1 strat card to get +4. It makes ALL the difference.

Also here when Bwagz just got the season pass card lol

Assuming you're using a LB as a user, the conversation revolves around Hendricks, Simmons, Warner, Willis, and Madden. Here's the case for each:

1. Hendricks - great speed and height, but abilities suck and gets pancaked on the reg.
2. Warner - great ability stack with lurk/MZKO for 0ap, but speed is a problem
3. Willis - good speed, solid abilities with the lurk/MZKO stack for 1ap, height is meh at 6'1".
4. Simmons - good speed, abilities are meh as you can't get lurk/MZKO discounted together, height is really good at 6'4"
5. Madden - good speed, solid abilities with the lurk/MZKO stack for 1ap, height is really good at 6'4"

I have every player on this list aside from Warner on my team as part of a 25/25 Combine, 25/25 Raiders TT so know the cards well. I use Willis and Madden as my SLBs with Hendricks only seeing the field in 4-3 61. Simmons is there for TT and motivator chem purposes.

I think it's time to put some respect on Madden's name. What are your thoughts?

(Queue the complaints about not having Madden yet)

I have madden as my non user sub LB and someotkmes I switch my user to him when I expect a pass away from my Ted. I get a pick 50% of the time. He jumps pretty damn high too

I actually think that Harrison Smith is the better SLB of the Season 6 releases. Once upgraded to 99, he will have all the abilities you could want/need, a better ACC/COD, and 2' taller.

Yeah but I'd much rather use it on different strat cards like ones that boost tackling or BSH since I already have a TT and combine boosts so all my players already have 99 AGI+COD.

For heavier sets you can’t sub in a safety but yea, I just think the ap discount is a bit better for Wagner

I already user him and he is a beast (6 Forced fumbles in 14 games including 2 kickoff fumbles) . +1 speed and +4 COD with motivator and strat card. I have spare AP so Ive been experimentimg with various 2AP abilities in his second bucket. When he’s fully upgraded he might be my end game user.

Not even close

Madden is the best user until they drop a faster LB with LA/mid zone stack for 1 or 0 ap. In my old 4-3 it was isaiah simmons, fred warner and patrick willis. Madden took simmons spot, I do try to user willis more bc he's faster but madden is him fr he's a great card. All 3 of my LBs get a mid zone & LA combo now.

I just won the draft event and do I get my 99 token for Thursday?

I actually had the same experience as OP with the same list of players ( I’ve tried them all) and for my scheme where I use my Sub LBs more for coverage than blitzing. One thing not mentioned is Madden gets team chems too which earned him the starting job for me over Willis and comp pass Collins (not listed but seemed like a copy and paste of MLB Madden). I was so excited to have pulled Hendricks’ egg but had the same experience with him out the gate watching little RBs pancake him. Glad to see it wasn’t just me. For my scheme, my feedback matches OP’s almost identically.

Not even close. His cod is the worst

(not hate) but reading this and then reading your username made me crack up.

Bobby Wagner will be the best user when there is enough xp to boost him.
