 AP updates boys. They made major changes to the way we play Madden. Was it a WRL? I talked on the podcast why it was an L boys. I just feel like Madden's coming to an end. We're in the offseason. I wish it would have went to 20 AP on both sides or 30 AP on both sides more. The more we can change, the more we can add. Why not? You know, I feel like the game it's not dead, but it's on life support and giving us way more AP. It would have been cool. This didn't change too much. What it mainly changed was escape artist, arm, leg, torso, thigh. You got to spend everything to get escape artist. I know we hate escape artist. I do too, but man, they really just hit it with a bazooka escape artist. Honestly, it's going to be good. It would have been good for comp. I just feel like this update was two months too late. Let me know how you guys feel. Is this a W or an L? You guys can watch me play on Twitch and I'm going to show you guys the abilities I'm going to be rocking right away with this new AP update. They got four more AP on defense too, so you can stack that defense a little bit more. All offense didn't get any additions and escape artist got that super nerve. You guys can watch me play live on Twitch. They ask me all the time about my ability, so here it is. This is what we're going to rock. We're actually going to ditch Derek Henry. This might be an overreaction, but it's my first reaction. Your first reaction should always be an overreaction. You can really back in. Part of me thinks I will go back to escape artist. I'm not sure, but this is what we're going to try. These are the abilities we're going to rock first day of the new AP updates. Let's take a look at it. We're going to go to Joe Namath because he's a field general. He gets that pass lead elite for a little bit cheaper. We're going to rock pass lead elite and we're going to rock hotrop master because it's only two for hotrop master. It's such a valuable bargain ability that you've got to have it. Then you have pass lead elite for three. That's just five AP on a quarterback. If I wanted to use escape and pass lead elite on Derek Henry, that would be 13 AP. That's a huge difference five and 13. Eight AP we can use elsewhere. I'm going to show you guys where I choose to use that. First off starts up front because I'm saving so much AP on my quarterback now going to Joe Namath. We're going to put two post-ups at guard. I always put my post-ups at guard that way. They're always involved in a double team. If you put it at center or tackle, sometimes they're not going to be involved in a double team. If you have a double team right up the gut with the center, it's always going to be with one of the guards, so he will be in a post-up. If you have one with the tackles, unless you max protect, it's always going to be with a guard. You're going to get your most value out of your post-ups right there, boys. That's why I put him at tackle. We're also going to run three deep out elites. Deep out elites, they catch pretty much every single pass, but pass 16 yards is what I'll say. Every single deep post, deep streak, deep dig route, deep corner route, they're going to catch every single one. It is a really good ability. It's one that I could do without, but man, if all three of your receivers have it, they're going to just snag every pass that they can. We have Hot Route Masters, so we don't need any slot apprentices, wide receiver apprentices, anything like that. Everybody's going to be able to go on every single route, and we have our route runner, Cooper Cup. Actually, all my receivers right now are route runners with Chad, Josh, Gordon, and Cooper Cup. We have our route runner, Cooper Cup. He's going to get route tech. That's going to be the last icing on the cake. People think man coverage is going to make a comeback with the AP updates, so you've got to have that route tech just to be safe, just to keep it in the back hip if you want to run those Hot Routes. If you want to get open on deep poles, deep crossers, dig routes, out routes, anything, Cooper Cup. He is the Super Bowl MVP, not overall, so we'll give him route tech. He shouldn't be able to be covered by man coverage. We have Joe Mix in here. I'm still giving the running back rotation. Let me know who you guys have in running back. Defense, this is where I'm not going to make too many changes, man. You guys know I've been running six Acrobatts all year, both safeties up top, Sean Taylor, Taylor Maze. I'm going to use Cam Chancellor. He gets those upgrades. I don't have him fully upgraded yet. I'm not a nerd. If you haven't fully upgraded, you're actually a demon. So we have Cam Chancellor. He actually has 97 speed. So for me, he plays linebacker, so that should be enough. I wish I meant 99 soon enough. Soon enough we'll get him there. So we'll use Acrobat on him. And you know he has that free out of my way, so we'll keep that there. Sherman, DK, Metcalf. You guys know I use Seattle Team Team just for these two corners to have 99 speed. They're both 6'3". They both can hit. They both can do a lot of things. So we have Acrobat on all those guys. A bunch of different things I tossed around was, do I put pick artists on everybody? Do I do that? But what I want to try first, I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to geek the D-Line up a little bit. We're going to keep unpredictable on D-Tackle, which I'm going to use Aaron Donald right now. We're going to use Dwight Freeny. We're going to put Edge Threat on him. And then come around 98 overall Max Crosby. We're actually going to put Edge Threat Elite on him. And what Edge Threat Elite is, it is just Edge Threat plus under pressure. So you get both of those abilities combined when you use Edge Threat Elite. So I'm going to geek the D-Line up a lot. What D-Line abilities have you guys been using? I know Unpredictable has been really good all year for 1AP, so we might go back to just two Unpredictables, but right now I'm going to try to geek that line up. If people are going to overreact to this and drop their escape artists, I think boosting the D-Line, really geeking up these guys is going to help you play defense. They're not going to be able to run away from Aaron Donald. They're not going to be running away from Max Crosby, Dwight Freeny. So those are the abilities I'm going to try. It's going to be what I start with. Shoot, I will see how it goes. Make sure you guys check in on Twitch. Let me know you're from YouTube, man. I will gift you guys a sub, and you guys can watch me try to play with this, see what it's like. In my heart of hearts, part of me feels like escape artists is still the best ability in the game. If I could do a escape artist pass lead elite in one post up, I would lock it in 100%. But for me right now, this is what I want to try. We're going to try to go to Joe Namath. I played a little bit last night, and I was getting sacked. I'm used to being able to roll out at the last second and throw the ball away, or gain five yards scrambling, so I got to get used to going back to no escape. It's going to be tough for all of us. I know we've all been kind of crushing that escape artist, but these are the abilities I'm going to try. Let me know what you guys are thinking, and let me know if this ability update was a W or an L.
