No. Weeks 16 and 17 TOTW will be released when EA gets back from break. I'm assuming sometime next week though no date has been officially confirmed yet.

Dreyerhurst

Pretty sure they said TOTW 16 & 17 would get released on January 7th.

Omg, doesn't anyone play the game? Just played 5 on line h2h season games. Only 1 opponent actually played defense. 4 out of 5 1 play cheesers. Bunch of cowards to stupid to play defense? What is going on? I can't find a legit game or a legit opponent. Why is everyone so scared to call a 2nd defensive play? Sooo boring even if I can light up a Cover 4 Show 2 or Cover 3 Sky. EA should seriously consider a cheeser division for you 1 play cowards. You won't even need playbooks. Or just go play ko, that's kind of a cheeser division. H2h seasons should only be for legit football game gamers.

I call one play but it’s definitely not really one play. I line up in cover 2 invert but send pressure and set up different coverage shells behind it. I can quick adjust cover 2 invert to cover 3, and Tampa 2 with the corners in clouds. So even though it looks like I call the same play every time I don’t and it confuses my opponents and generates turnovers because it’s hard to tell what I’m running.

haotingliu1990

Thanks, learned it. Will try in next season.

scottd_3ds

Oh great, another cheeses?

scottd_3ds

So you run the same 4-4 defense every play? No nickel, no dime, no 3-4, no nothing but 4-3 Cover 2 invert? Cheesers try to make the bs that "oh, I run one play, but I make adjustments". I would light you up. Unless your 4 linebackers can keep up with my 95 wide receivers. Then, as usual, your just repeating and hoping for glitch. Typical cheeser. It's one play, btw, up down directional for more plays, a whole playbook even. I get it, your lazy, looking for the easiest possible cheese play to repeat and adjust off of because your scared to run a different play from a different formation. I spank you guys daily, but you never learn.

bennyvavoom

My linebackers don’t need to keep up. I have DBs to do that. Additionally, when you literally put every player in coverage in a different zone it IS NOT THE SAME PLAY. You just see cover 2 invert in the play art at the end of the play but it was actually cover 3. Or was is Tampa 2? Maybe I sent 5-7, who knows.

bennyvavoom

the point is you cannot tell what I’m running based on the play art. The biggest weakness of 3-4 bear is that the corners aren’t in cloud flats on ANY stock plays so you must make several adjustments to make that happen. Additionally, I don’t like to project that I’m playing cover 3 because then people start running coverage beaters on it so I start in cover 2 then audible to a cover 3.

bennyvavoom

Call your base plays and make no adjustments. I will tear you up because I know how to beat every stock coverage in the game.

bennyvavoom

I also occasionally run big dime 1-4-6 but most nickel sets struggle to stop inside zone so I just run 3-4 against most shotgun formations unless it’s 3rd and 4th and long.

bennyvavoom

Also it’s 3-4 bear cover 2 invert. It is 3-4.

Better yet, EA could charge players to access a game mode called "I win", where you press start and the game just tells you that you won. It save the cheesers from having to run the same play over and over to get a meaningless win, and its save the rest of us from having to waste our time being paired up with them. EA could make a buck too. Everybody wins!

tarzinald

well some if not most of the people spending want to feel validated by curb stomping actual opponents, not by skill, but by money & cheese, so it's a great idea... but requires more thought

scottd_3ds

Great idea!!!!👍👍👍

Story of my life with this game and they all have the same players Lawrence Taylor Aaron Donald and on offense Vick or Lamar rb Eric Dickerson or bo Jackson wr hill and moss

scottd_3ds

Yup, those are mostly YouTube zombies I think. They get sales pitches thrown at em by the Zirksees, Actual CCs, Wheelz and so on, always preaching the latest greatest card. Imagine this game without youtubers influence or points (money) currency. The money grab and the snake oil salesmen are outta control.

Advance to legendry and you will notice a difference.

Packers literally have been getting cards all year long yet this piece of work is still crying, amazing.

I stated facts in my post. Not an emotional "getting cards all year" with no facts to back it up response. It was meant to be humorous sarcasm. Would I love the Packers to get more cards, of course, do I care that much? No, I'll just use 25/50 Packers using Packer backups and the rest good cards that fit my scheme.

wait a week dawg. playoff promo, same boat with the vikes. Thanks for the meh mlb.

Thewolfman_6

I'm sure the Packers top two Playoff cards will be Adams with 88 speed and Aaron Jones since we already have Ahman Green. We need the Super Smiths Bros to get some love.

U see my Broncos went 7-9 and we have got 1 card. 84 JaWuan James. He has played 60 snaps and we won’t be getting a playoffs card cause we suck. So in conclusion the Raiders are worse.

What about the Chargers? ;)

mctypo

I mean hey, Eagles got another card :)

the_rogueshinobi

I’m with you on that lmao it doesn’t matter how good our players play they will just keep pushing out the same bs cards they have been since mut came into the game ! Lmfao just like when Brett Favre made nfl 100 and they decided to put QBs who didn’t make the list over them then make them have 70 speed Mut 20 Sucks!

Jackers41

EA only has the rights to some players, the players they picked is ridiculous but u have to consider some players don't want to be in the game like Charles Barkley in the past with 2k

Jackers41

You do realize Ted Hendricks played for the packers, get his power up and bam there's an upgrade. He got a 93 overall and was one of the first in the program, I'm a Steelers fan and know more about the packers smh

Thewolfman_6

He's known and released as a Raider.

bennyvavoom

That’s why power ups exist

Thewolfman_6

Ugh I'll try to be rational one more time, but I'll give up after this. The Green Bay Packers are 13-3 and are known for playing in the Frozen Tundra. Their only present day player upgrade in this promo is Rashon Gary at 78ovr. EA wasn't thinking about the Packers when they released Ted Hendricks.. Yes, it helps a Packer theme team, but in my opinion, the Packers needed an Packer Zero Chill player uprade that's useable after a good season and getting the 2 seed in the NFC.

I run a ravens theme team and Judon hasn’t had an upgrade since mut heroes after making the pro bowl and don’t have a single right end in the game. You’re fine. But they’re doing Za’darius dirty he deserves an upgrade for the season he had and I expect both him AND Judon to get playoffs upgrades.

A 92 speed 93 overall deep threat reciever? that’s so bad... doesn’t mean i’m not getting him tho

Parris_styles

1 broncos card to add to the Broncos theme team after 3 zero chill parts😑 better have totw or toty on deck in the coming weeks

Kris24

Everyone chill.. Josh Jacobs best card is still an 85 ovr.

CK2440

Should i make an eagles theme team? i have a 93 ovr team rn that i grinded a lot for and now i want to make an eagles theme team but i’m not sure. what do u guys think?

imaginationasdf

I’m so excited about 78 Rashan Gary as a Packers fan. Do something right for god’s Sake. 😔

cobrascouch

Just the edge rusher I was looking in Markus golden for on my giants team. will complement LT perfectly after receiving his incredible upgrade. 10 sacks this year, and an amazing 79 to complement that. thank you Ea you guys out did my expectations

cobrascouch

Well anyone with giants teams are fucked. Won’t get any playoff cards and 1 zero chill card. Not sure what promo will help me next

pinzer11

They are getting a 95 ovr daniel Jones ya 8:30 tonight who only deserves a 90 so be grateful

pinzer11

Also what I did was I like the seahawks but it’s easier to do the team if you just did nfc east because you will still get giants chemistry but just not as much

cobrascouch

Maybe I’ll try 2 teams

wheezywave

when does playoffs come out

elaurant0

EA WTH the only card we get in the whole promo is an 84 rt who has been injured pretty much all year! where is DT mike purcell who has started since week 3 and doesnt have a card in madden? why do you hate the broncos so much!

cooleystar

Maybe because your shit

banginghebrew

Kittle better get an upgrade for the playoff promo, his stiff arm and truck rating are absolute garbage. As though EA didn't see him run through a tackle, stiff arm a man for 10 yards while being facemasked and then plow into 2 other dudes where finally the 3 tacklers could bring him down....all with the game on the line. Complete disrespect that needs to be fixed.

michael5bea

Has anyone heard anything about what to do with the extra gingerbread collectibles? I have 8 extras after already completing the Hendricks set. Not really interested in Cooper or A Peterson. Hopefully another gingerbread master is added.

CK2440

i just did the sets again and quicksold the players

pinzer11

WE NEED A HIGH OVERALL BEAST MODE CARD

pinzer11

PLEASE atleast a limited time for Marshawn Lynch

tarzinald

i think they should add more of the gingerbread set cards. maybe some more offensive/defensive line guys

Eatme12345678910

Anyone know when totw 16 and 17 are out?

scottd_3ds

Does anyone feel like weekend league is highly manipulated by DDA? I've played weekend league every week, I always need to play 23-25 games to get 13. I've started 2-8, finished 13-11, this week I started 8-3, finished 13-10. One week I tanked 7 games, didn't have time to play all 25, finished 13-11. After I would tank a couple games (or lose a couple), I would get unreal easy matchups, get a lead and a quick concede. If I win 4 or 5, I always play teams I can't stop or score on. It just seems after 20 or more weekends, I would finish higher, or lower at least one week. Same last year playing weekend league. Very distinct pattern here. (for me anyhow)

pinzer11

YES I feel the same way

scottd_3ds

Thx for the feedback

banginghebrew

Yep, every single weekend I usually start out 9-2 or so, then I'm quickly like 10-7 after a constant stream of people just using motion and gimmicks and BS defenses to screw over EA's horrible computer AI so that nothing I do matters. Then usually finish somewhere between 13-16 wins. Every single weekend, without fail.

scottd_3ds

Appreciate your comment. Thx Thought people were just going to say I suck, maybe I do, but maybe I don't?

hawyeez59

so when can the Baltimore Ravens 14win regular season expect Quiksell training reward? atleast 21k Training QS ...sooner than later.. Its pastime to power up
