OP Ability Combo on (current gen) - Fearless and Protected

I bought the 99 tribute Brady last week when his price went down. I read a lot of reviews from people on this forum saying he sailed passes and fumbled. Bradys gets GS and HRM for 6ap. Gunslinger is a must especially if you are a pocket qb player. I added protected and fearless to the mix and this was way before the AP update we had yesterday. A first full season with Brady (GS, HRM, Protected, and fearless) I went to the Super Bowl and lost to a very good player. I am currently in my second season (MVP tier) and 2 wins away from the playoffs (currently 5-2).

What I noticed during these 2 seasons.

  • Brady has yet to fumble while being sacked, my line is holding up well, and I haven't seen any sailed passes or throw-out sack passes.

Tidbit information, I am running a 50/50 Pats & 25/50 Steelers TT.

Interesting. I posted on here myself trying different combos on Brady and was curious how effective fearless is stacked on top of GS, and you’re saying it’s quite effective?? Also, weird thing with Brady is I noticed he would only sail passes if I have pocket deadeye on him and step slightly out of pocket. Without pocket deadeye however, his accuracy has been totally fine for me.

I have the 99 Brady card with the built-in discounted AP of GS and HRM. I added the fearless and protected ability to him. Yes, he has been great, I haven't seen any sailed passes from him or fumbles when getting sacked. My oline is holding up well, I am hoping it's because of the protected ability. A first full season with him I went to the Superbowl and lost to a good player. The second season, I am currently 6-2 (MVP tier).

I think that was me who you played in your bowl game. I thought it was JcSteel on here but it wasn’t. I messaged him after that game and he said no it wasn’t him.

I'm on old-gen Xbox, was your user name start with "the king," and did you have a lion head as your avatar.

I’m in old gen as well but no my GT starts with HTOWN but I played a guy who had steelercurtain in his super bowl. And what you described is exactly how I play so I assumed it was you

Steelcurtain_86

Oh I see, no my xbox gamertag is different from my muthead.

Congrats on making the SB and good luck on your current season. Sounds like you got a good QB card and dropping in work.

Steelcurtain_86

I lost to a very good player, he played man defense all game. However, his user skill was good. He knew where his weakness was on the field and played to that side. Also, I had slot-o-Matic on my WR and he still couldn't get separation. I started motioning him from one side to the other side. That did work however it was too late in the game and I was already down by 2 scores (TDs).

No QBs generally fumble when hit in the pocket on current gen.

My Brady got strip sacked constantly, including while in the pocket. Old gen.

Steelcurtain_86

I'm on old gen, and this hasn't happened yet. I played a full season with Brady. I am currently in my second season. Also, I haven't seen any sailed passes from him it could be the Fearless ability immune to under pressure while in the pocket. I remember you saying you had this issue with him.

Yeah that may be the fix. I’m happy with Namath.

Steelcurtain_86

I was going to get Namath but am happy with Brady right now.

Steelcurtain_86

Brady hasn't fumbled yet in the pocket (I don't scramble with him) I either throw it away or throw it to my check down guy.

I can’t wait until I can afford 99 Brady. As soon as he goes down to 700k or so I will pull the trigger

Steelcurtain_86

I bought him around $1M smh... it was expensive but had to try the GOAT.

Addict856

100% his 99 looks filthy especially with GS and HRM only bring 6 AP combined

Steelcurtain_86

I have 10 AP on him. 2ap on WR slot-o-matic, 1 backfield master on HB, and 1 ap deep out elite.
