An Ochocinco upgrade would be nice - then I could stop using this Chris Hogan vets card - lol

I concur - this is the best approach.

I don't play online but he's been my starting RLE from day one and only got better with the UL upgrade (running a Patriots theme team)

Yup - just opened all of mine too. got a 92 Damien Harris & 89 Julian Edelman for my top pulls. Also a bunch of core elites and a a couple other program cards. Works for me

Said it before and will say it again here - Patriots theme team needs a Michael Onwenu card (as long as they don't make him a LG)

My Patriots team is in need of Onwenu - as long as EA doesn't go ahead and make him a LG

If they are releasing power ups as part of WCW then I expect no more than 5 PUPs next week. From a purely selfish perspective I would like them to be tied to Ghosts of Madden so Cam will get a power up. I would think this is something Carolina fans can get behind as well

I really have to get into this mindset. It really is great advice. I have a fairly strong competitive streak to go along with being my own worst critic. Most of my frustration when I play is directed at myself and the mistakes I make that cost me games rather than my opponent, EA, DDA or anything else. It's a struggle and probably what keeps me form playing more than a few h2h games each year

Last year myself and some other Muthead members put together theme team tournaments. There was an MHC entry fee which was used as the pool for winning. You basically had to have a true theme team that used only current/former players that go your team's chem. We tried for at least 10-12 players per tournament. It was win or go home and was pretty fun. The games were streamed when they could be so the participants could watch. It was a fun way to play. If I had time I would consider organizing more but I just don't have the time to pull it together, collect the fees, create the brackets, etc, etc....I would certainly participate again though.

I give you credit for playing h2h. I'm trash at the game too. I try to find a playbook/plays that I like. Practice with them, test plays in solo battles and have reasonable success vs the CPU but once I go up against another human it all falls apart for me. I get frustrated and annoyed and go back to playing the CPU. It's a game, I want to enjoy it. I know I just need to keep at it because the only way to get better is work at it, but I only have limited time to play and I don't want to spend it getting annoyed. So, I play 99% offlline, build my team and work to perfect my offense/defense vs the CPU.
