I could have sworn I saw Madden mobile do a Shaquem Griffin theme card, that's who I'm hoping for.
I also personally hope the criteria for them isnt strictly guys that have 80-84 core elites. I actually want it to be lesser guys on the totem pole for every team. 75-79. Guys that are tremendous players that dont have a spotlight on them. Michael Gallup, Terry Mclaurin, Dick Cheney, Logan Ryan.
Iād be ok with either Smith!
If it's anything like last year, it almost has to be one of the two. I'm personally hoping for Za'Darius for The Ravens chem.
I really appreciate posts like this one. Which involves hard work and analytical skills. A good read.
I'd be fine with Pouncey for the Steelers. I think there's a chance we get someone like Cam Heyward, though.
I mainly went with guys rated 84-88 in the base game, as they translate to the 80-84 core elites used last year. Heyward is a 90 but he's a possibility.
If they are 16 full games like last year, none of them are worth the prices.
2-3 hour grind for an 87 overall is an RPG lovers dream! Haha, I personally plan on picking 10 and finishing them all. Working from home for months on end with lots of down time.
Below are my predictions for Theme Teams. Here is the criteria. 1. Should be between 80-84 OVR Core Elite. 2. Wasn't a theme builder last year. 3. Not a Kicker or a Punter. Some of these were easy for one of two reasons. Either they didn't have many good options, or the choice seems absolutely obvious, or both. Those will be the ones with only 1 choice. Most were pretty easy to narrow down to an either or. A few had so many guys who it could be I just took the 2 realistic choices that I would prefer. The Chiefs have literally 0 players that would be between an 80-84 OVR based on last year's OVR conversions, so Frank Clark at 83 in base game will probably get a bump up to 80 Core Elite for Theme Builders sake. Eric Kendricks for The Vikings would probably have to get bumped down to 84 OVR Core Elite to be The Vikings theme builder as well. Of course that is going off of last year's model, everything could be completely different.
