Not as fun to build your team this year
-
I’ve come to this after playing the devil game itself madden. The ability to use a theme team and with a few great cards makes the game really fun. I really hope The Show adopts this. The fact I can’t put Pedro Martinez as a Phillie to make a fun theme team is a shame. If they would actually update captains and put in more legends earlier the game would be sick. If you don’t wanna do captains anymore fine, can I get a manager boost for a theme. It is kinda annoying to see Joe Shmoe as my manager. It would be more fun is all.

I understand where you're coming from. That being said, Halladay should have a usable Jays card...outside of his initial 87 AS Card, every other one has been a Phillie card. Until they put out a 99 ovr '03 Cy Young Awards card for Doc, I'll use his highest card in my Blue Jay theme team.

Or SDS can make a change to the game where if a player played for multiple teams. Make it possible to change the team affiliation when making teams.

Pedro pitched 9 games for the Phillies. If they give him a 90ish last ride, sure. But I wouldn't want to see a 99 fitting into a theme team for them. Just like a 99 Mays would make no sense for the Mets.
How about White Sox and Rays legend Manny Ramirez?
I do agree with managers though, they should replace captains and upgrade as the year goes on.

Managers would be a really cool idea. I'd be all over a Bobby Cox card.

Fully agree, but I think Madden gameplay is better at this point to be honest haha. Hard to believe.
I’m actually kind of liking MUT this year. Haven’t been on MLB for a couple weeks until this weekend for WC and I hate the current gamplay more than I remember.

@Dinger_Dan19_PSN Here’s an idea for captains… You designate a team. No more captains. There are 2 factors that decide each individual boost. The amount of players on your team who played for your designated team. Then, for each individual player, the number of seasons that player played for the team you designated. So a guy like Tony Gwynn would get a max boost on an all Padres theme team, while someone like Pedro on a Phillies theme team would work, but get a minor boost.
