Unbalanced Scheme Theme Teams!

I can't be the only one who has noticed that the theme teams are very unbalanced! I personally love the scheme theme teams and I think it is a lot of fun using players you wouldn't normally use since they fit your scheme. I personally run Pro Style and 3-3-5 Tite, both 50/50. Pro Style always gets love (could use some offensive linemen that aren't centers, but I know I'm being greedy) but 3-3-5 Tite is so neglected it isn't even funny! I know people don't like it because some people use it to loop but I don't think that should mean that the scheme should be borderline unusable because of how outdated the cards are. I know you can scheme switch some LTDs, but the eligible players are so expensive! I'm sure there are other 3-3-5 Tite players and people who use similarly forgotten (by EA at least) schemes... what are you guys doing? I'm personally sticking it out but I'm tempted to switch to 4-3 or some other lucky scheme!

Agreed. I wish they would balance them out, or change it up altogether since there's no rhyme or reason as to what players are in what scheme.

I'd like to see them ditch the playback styles and put more emphasis on team BUT a 50/50 conference scheme paired with school schemes. Say I run half A&M half UF, I'd get 25/50 each for schools plus 50/50 SEC boosts.

Just my two cents.

There need to be more players whose scheme can be changed for a coin cost, at least like the level 50 player or big trophy player in the season pass. If you are grinding for a player you should be able to choose their scheme.

Like you can do this with the Team chems but not the playstyle chemistries. Make it make sense.

I run a 4-3 scheme and we didn't have a LE above a 92 overall until almost the end of last season. But there are a lot of scheme spotlight players that are a 4-3 so I have a couple of them so that I can run other players in other positions. Like at corner the high end 4-3 corners are super expensive except for a couple here and there. I am a NMS just to clarify. like Travis hunter stars of the season is 4-3 but his play rec is terrible. Overall I can't complain. I also run a pro style and I agree about the o-line.

I love using the scheme/theme/teams - I finally have full 50/50/50 and it has made a huge difference. I run 3-4 and some of the CB/SS people complain about are beasts. Their height , or lack thereof, is not a problem at all. When speed/acceleration is at 99 and jump is +3 it will be alright. ;)

The fact that it's so unbalanced is crazy but another thing I also don't understand is players getting multiples cards all with different schemes, make that make sense.
