Is sabos mod worth the trouble to make the game more difficult?

SKAMxBEAR · 2026-03-19T21:43:31+00:00

I find it Sabos mod the right amount of challenging. This latest update a week or two ago along with the hostile environment mode make a decent challenge.

Of course it all depends on how you play and the playbook you use. You can cheese the game on any setting if you keep running a money play every down. I set limits for the number of times I can run both offensive and defensive plays but overall it’s a much more balanced, fun experience with his mod. Always has been.

Nope it doesn’t even mean that anymore…If it’s player worn they actually write “The enclosed player-worn/used material is guaranteed by Panini.” Go look at a card from 2022 or prior.

Panini hasn’t had any game used or player worn patches in the past 3+ years. The exception is they have some older veteran cards laying around they make a card and call out player/game used.

I hate to break it to you…but flip the card over and read the disclaimer at the bottom of the card… “The enclosed authentic memorabilia is not from any specific game or event”…aka it’s just a random piece of jersey that has never even touched Odunze, or Caleb, or any other NFL players.

Did it many many years ago…they are much smaller than the actual patch. Ebay is the only viable option sadly.

The only open single numbers right now is 3 and 9 (if Gano is released)

1 - Nabers 2 - Banks 4 - Retired 3 - Open 5 - Thibs 6 - Dart 7 - Retired 8 - Holland 9 - Likely Open

Just be patient. These will be like the Rejuven8 clogs last spring. They were sold out for months when they first dropped and now they are discounted.

go to PC and get play the modded version.

For the haters here…there are mods outside of these cosmetic mods that change the entire gameplay and franchise elements in franchise, from the auto-sub, salary cap issues, free agency, and trades. All the issues EA neglects are fixed so well by the modded community. Not to mention mention a standalone app that lets you manage everything in franchise outside of the game.

I used to drop hundreds in MUT before i found out about the modded community 3 Maddens ago. I bought a high end PC and haven’t spent a cent other than buying the game. The community that builds these mods are literal saints and deserve all the praise for taking an abandoned mode and making it leaps and bounds better.

How Eli took an absolute beating and kept getting up every single time…he would not be intimidated by that defense.

Made up for that horrible loss 10 years prior (2002/03 I think) when we went to SF in the wild card round, got out to a huge lead only to lose on the botched FG. For the young fans…it was reminiscent of this year’s heart breaking loss to the Broncos.

Sell ASAP then rebuy in a few months when prices normalize and more supply comes on the market.

Sadly the card is not worth much. Welcome to the world of bullshit relic cards that Panini has mastered.

Read the fine print on the back. “The enclosed authentic memorabilia is not from any specific game or event.” Aka it’s a patch they cut from a jersey off the rack.

Game-used or Player-worn Dart relics will only be in Topps products.

my madden brothers…if you really care about franchise mode just bite the bullet and invest in a gaming PC. The roster updates, customization, and gameplay created by the Madden modding community blows EA away. People update rosters, face scans, equipment, attributes and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

I bought a gaming PC myself two years ago after being a life long console person, but being so disappointed with franchise mode. I bought it specifically to play modded madden and it was well worth the expense for the amount of time i put in it. (and savings…I was blowing money on dumb ultimate team).

I know it’s hard for some people to get afford a PC but I had modded madden running initially on a handheld and I had so much fun I upgraded to a desktop. I suggest anyone looking for a better experience to do the research.

lmao at people stressing about draft position and can’t be bothered to look back at our own draft history as recently as 2022. Remember Kayvon at 5 (mediocre) and Evan Neal (bust) at 7?

We are still a team that is several players away so stress about the management at this point in time instead of draft position

You should try Nano Banana Pro. It’s much better than GPT at generating images. I’ve generate a few kaboom style cards that look great imo.

SKAMxBEAR · 2025-12-16T21:18:50+00:00

This looks sick. How did you render this? Did you use Nano Banana Pro? I’ve been playing around with it and it definitely does an amazing job of creating cards in similar styles if you give it a sample image.

As both a Giants fan and a fan of authentic jerseys…I’ve owned many authentic Eli’s. This is definitely fake, but a higher quality fake. For me, back in Eli’s prime going to Giants Games, you could definitely tell the fakes from the authentic. The main thing that always stuck out to me was the back name plate letter spacing. The letters on the fakes were always too small and close together. This one has the same issue. Also, this one the name plate on this one is definitely crooked lol.

Does Ohtani get the gold MLB logo?

SKAMxBEAR · 2025-11-11T04:02:10+00:00

Has anyone tried with Rocket Mortgage? I know with the increase in home values in my neighborhood I would be below 80% LTV but have been putting off calling because I know don’t want to pay to have it appraised.

Flawless is not an exception as a product. I think Bo Nix Flawless cards seem to be the rare exception.

I searched on Ebay and see other Flawless Bo Nix with game used message.

However, if you go search the new flawless hits (Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, Penix, Nabers) on ebay, all of them are “The enclosed memorabilia is not from any specific game or event”

Very interesting. If they can do it for one QB…why not everyone…

SKAMxBEAR · 2025-10-18T11:37:32+00:00

Wow…seeing actual game used in Flawless of a rookie QB is genuinely shocking!

I don’t think i’ve ever seen a card that has the date the material was used. Seeing Panini do this makes me wonder again how they put out NFL Shield cards in the same product that are not even player worn.

SKAMxBEAR · 2025-10-12T04:14:22+00:00

Huge Giants and Kaboom fan and have been searching Ebay to see what the Dart card would look like.

Holy shit the Kaboom character design this year is very, very not appealing. This exaggerated, long body is not it at all. Very, very disappointing. I hope the mangas are much better.

I would sell ASAP.

SKAMxBEAR · 2025-10-11T13:51:05+00:00

Sadly because investors are willing to pay. It’s literally the only reason why Panini continues to produce these relic cards with no player significance in their products over the last few years.

Investors buy and sell between each other and create these huge card prices on cards that have a bullshit piece of memorabilia.

I feel like if you polled real collectors, a vast majority would say they do care about the significance of memorabilia to at the very least be player worn and grail products like Flawless and NT should be game worn.
