What are your thoughts on this year's Ultimate Kickoff Program? Let us know in the comments below.
can i get a fooking KC chiefs punter?? Townsend long luscious hair shouldnt be that hard to code. dustin colquitt isnt even in the game. be more dumb EA. we all want DT58 legends card. a dale carter legend card would be nice to.
Edited by navyvetpdx
u realize they arent just gonna drop every player ever as request, Dustin Colquitt will be added in series 2, guarantee it
Yeah I realize that, but the same ol players year after year gets old. Fucking mix it up.
shoot man, these players must all have problems because they all on new teams, and if they were all on new teams last year that means they got a thing for 1 year contracts
BIG FAT L to kick it off! Great work EA. You never disappoint to disappoint.
Standard
Off topic, how can I disable the clock run off?? I did the appropriate steps on options but the clock still runs
you cant. It's one of the many bugs EA doesn't fix in madden 21
Yeah, it's bullshit. You cant play competitively with that bug. Add in the bots and disconnects this game's online play is a joke.
Just making sure I wasn’t going crazy!! I could use the extra 1:30- 2 mins or challenges that it wasted!!! I’m guessing they thought the triple tap dive was a good idea for a safety dive too???
You Never disappoint to disappoint, for your own mental health stop buying the game
I think this is a cool promo, it’s a card for everyone “new”, either on a new team this year or a rookie
finally someone who gives ea kinda props when they do something good
You work for EA you kissass?
im not smart enough to work with programing u kickass
Edited by Jackers41
A lot of rookie premieres nice
Probably a good promo for some theme teams. Overall OK. Surprised were already seeing stretched out 2 weeks promos, especially for a singular thing like the kickoff.
kickoff once a year but I get what you saying
Cam gets truzz, all imma say
he should. truzz better not be a player exclusive xfactor cuz thats stupid. they better not start doing that. mossed is ok cuz its RANDY MOSS but they shouldnt do that with other players
Agreed
Phillip Rivers gets it too
Thanks wizz
To have 5 stars is very hard in certain challenges, WOWWWW!!
Do they upgrade if their team wins again
no
Anyone know if there will be more players (and specifically masters) in week 2?
yeah they doing the NFC week 2
Are anyone else's solo challenges for the Ultimate Kickoff promo giving you an error and kicking you out once you get to the Patriots? I did the newest update this morning but still happening
Yup have the same problem n no clue why unless they don’t won’t that accessible til next as well
House rules rewards should be a little better
Do the cards upgrade as a team wins games
no
Can Everton griffin get vikes chem
So do you just have to win 10 games in house rules to get one of the 88s?
You can get 10 wins to get a token for a 88 nat or do solos for another token. You can do both this week to get it early or wait till next week for another token to drop in hr or solos. Takes two total. Gl
ok thanks
Ten wins gets you 1 hero token, I think 2 hero tokens are needed for an 88
wow slight effort on card art
i think the card art is really solid
compared to the rest of the cards this year it is
Well, it’s all players on a new team. They don’t have much to work with other than camp
Still wait Clowney and Flacco current card
Yeah. Clowneys gonna be an event!
Clowney wont have a power up so it's going to suck without a push to tier 3 90 overall unless they add a PU to the game which they usually don't do. Example Deshaun Watson in Madden 19 and 20.
watson got a power-up both years
Yes.... technically you are correct, but they added his power up in March both years. Way after Watson was even a usable card. Since Clowney didn't get an Elite card to start the season, he wont get one until EA adds power ups which is something they have done a terrible job of.
Wish the solos weren't on arcade, but I'm digging the cards.
why ? doesnt that make them easier
Not the defensive ones. And arcade mode just feels so stupid. Players breaking out of 3 man tackles makes no sense.
They hate the lions man 😂🤣 nothing like giving us a player who hasn’t played a down for us yet. Funny, I thought players weren’t allowed to have a team chem until that player played a down for that team 😂
I don’t think any players on this promo have played a down for their team yet, that’s the theme of the promo
Just saw Kdawg said the same thing, lol
Thats basically all the cards in this promo, Robby Anderson, Everson Griffen, Chase Young, Leshaun Mcoy.
Let me be mad in peace 🤣
Yeah that’s kinda the point of this promo
Collins signed with the Lions in March. I think that only applies to players changing teams closer to the start/during the season. If it didn't, every player that changed teams during the offseason would either have their old team chem or not be included until after the season starts.
