This Years Madden Tradeoff: 99s vs Boosts

This year, the trade off from last year seems to be that there are now more boosting players but less 99 overalls. EA seems to be taking the stance that the only 99s will be "true 99s" meaning they will have insane stats and be incredibly hard to get.

I may be speaking too soon, but it looks like non-boss ULs and PHs will all be 98 overall (on console PHs are 97 iirc, so we're lucky). That makes a lot of these cards somewhat worthless in my opinion, when there are much better cards for cheaper that offer great boosts. EA seems to have gone a bit boost crazy in MM16. It is relatively easy to reach 99 OVR with sub 99 players.

So at the end of the day, we are getting more boosts but worse players.

Which do you guys prefer?
