What are your thoughts on Series 5? Let us know in the comments below.
Wish they added a Ryan Fitzpatrick power up. So we could see more of the Glorious cover art of his Veteran card :)
Jags 2010 classic away jersey's card art has white pants, but in game black pants. Kind of disappointing
I want a big market crash sooooo bad
Huge win for EA man. Those theme diamond players are the ones we all want. Not the big name legends, but the ones fans loved so much. I’m pleased.
Would love to know how to get them though. What does the set look like?
I just posted an article specifically on Theme Diamonds. There is a picture of the Dolphins Set. Refresh the main page.
Thanks!
Sorry to jump the gun @WizzLe
No worries. Today's content is a bit different. Usually, I try to combine content into one article but there was so much today that it seemed more appropriate for 2.
Totally. I had been mentioning Boselli for years, and I'm not even a Jags fan. I noticed it in the first run with Sehorn and Surtain, etc. When they announced Theme Diamonds II I was wondering "Priest or DT" For the Chiefs but Will Shields will work. All around some good overlooked guys. (previously) Doug Williams!
EA is a JOKE. So you mean to tell me that Baker Mayfield gets a Power Up and Daniel Jones get a power up but NOT RYAN TANNEHILL? 😂 Bunch of clowns. Comeback Player of the Year just got MAD disrespected. This game and team of “developers” are hot garbage.
Lol or Dak Prescott. Absolutely wild dude
Not to mention a vita vea HB
Anybody like how the solo challenges have changed from last year?
i have a few issues with this update... 1. it feels like some of tillman's stats were nerfed so that you'd have to upgrade them to get the stats back. 2. tillman's upgrades are pretty lackluster, especially compared to jamal adams, whom i'm pretty sure is the same archetype. should've made tilly boy comparable to adams. 3. they shouldn't have allowed people who got dickerson to switch him for a different nfl 100. if someone got him for the sole purpose of cheesing, they shouldn't be given a pat on the back & given free reign to get a new card that isn't impacted by the nerf.
is there a new captain token?
Shaquill barrette still doesnt have a power up? Smh
is there a single bronco is this promo?
Power ups need some help. Needing Dickerson is huge. No more Dickerson stretch plays all game.
They took it away so that they could sell people who pay to play packs. Dickerson was so good and so cheap why would you need to be a loser and pay $120 for mahomes. Lol! EA is greedy.$$$$$
That move has nothing to do with money. EA realized they made Dickerson too glitchy and people were exploiting that.
So Patrick mahomes isn’t glitchy, along with the LTDs. It is good for them when the LTD pay to play cards are glitchy. EA is greedy. Anytime you can play well with a budget lineup they will NERF it.
i agree, but disagree with what it seems like you're saying... it sounds like you're saying that dickerson isn't the only glitchy card, which i agree with, & so they shouldn't have nerfed him, which i don't agree with. what they should've done is nerf all the glitchy cards, in my opinion.
My point is EA is greedy. They only nerf the free cards but intentionally make the LTD cards glitchy...the Dickerson nerf was all about people not buying packs because they didn’t need to.
BRUH 2500 for a jersey
2500 is like 25k now, I’m willing to pay that to get those steeler honeybees. Besides most of them are on the ah anyway
Any easy way to get these new power ups? Or do we just got to get lucky and pull one?
Was hoping for Kyler Murray PU since his 90 ovr is kinda finessing me some games these days.
Wow lol now I can stop seeing the comments like "yeah but Dickerson is the best RB because of his x factor"
Crazy how they nerfed him lol
i mean, he's still pretty solid, just now he can't be cheesed with
:/
Still waiting for a Jason Verrett power up smh
Bro Jason Verrett only has an 88 are u dumb
No gauntlet?
No, but they released Journey Part 3 with Theme Diamonds. Refresh the main page to view the Theme Diamonds article for more info.
any idea when the new gauntlet will drop
No idea, sorry.
No Mecole or Sammy Watkins power up.... snooze
WTF! How did Brandon Carr get a power up before Marcus Peters?!?!?
