EA is ruining MUT with the bastardization of theme teams.
It is now viable to run 50/50 theme teams in large part due to team captains, mut champions (Kam), and level masters (Hester and Seau), Marshawn Lynch, Marcus Mariota, Emanuel Sanders, and Ndomokong Suh getting every team chem. Oh, let’s not forget the legendary Dan Marino that played for every team in the NFL. Luckily, MUT.GG confirmed Daniel Jones won’t get every team chem.
There is nothing worse than a third of a 50/50 theme team’s starters being players that get the boost that never played for the team. Theme teams are fun because they are in part a novelty and EA is removing the novelty. If you want the +2 speed bonus, you should pay the price and have some weaknesses. It’s technically only a +1 over everyone else because, should EA stop this bastardization, most people would be running 2x 25/50 theme teams any way.
And if a 50/50 theme team wants to fill some gaps with non theme teamers, then that’s fine. Just don’t give those players 50/50 boosts. If a Jags theme team does not want to use an 86 OVR Trevor Lawrence and use a Marino with Dolphins chem, fine. But that means they can’t address a weakness elsewhere with a non theme team player.

EA needs to stop this crap.
