If you've been following Madden Ultimate Team (MUT), you probably remember Lamar's incredible AKA card from last year. That card was so dominant that he was on practically everyone's squad for weeks. Now in Madden 26, EA has brought Lamar back under the "AKA: The Eraser" banner Madden 26 coins, and once again, he's proving to be a top-tier QB-especially if you're playing with the set version. The nickname might feel a bit random-seriously, who has ever called Lamar "The Eraser"? But when you see this card in action, wiping defenders off the field and erasing leads with dual-threat dominance, the moniker starts to make sense. Set Version Breakdown: Still a Monster QB Fortunately, the set version of Lamar Jackson is widely available and still a beast on the field. The biggest difference? The LTD comes with built-in Threat Detector (TR), while the set version requires you to manually equip it-if you even have the AP to spare. Here's what you can get with the set version, assuming you're not trying to squeeze in TR: ·First One Free-0 AP ·Run N Gun-0 AP ·Gunslinger-0 AP ·This is where things get interesting. If you roll with the LTD, you save 3 AP thanks to built-in abilities. That may not sound huge, but it's game-changing when building your stack. The downside? No Fearless unless you pay extra, and most players won't have the AP space. Another noticeable issue is velocity. Without an ability like Pass Lead Elite or Set Feet Lead, Lamar's throws tend to float more than you'd like. You can slap on one of those velocity boosts-but again, it'll cost you 2 AP, pushing your stack into expensive territory. How He Plays on the Field Lamar's set card is flat-out fun to use. Whether you're rolling out for a 40-yard bomb or scrambling through a blitz for a first down, he plays like peak LJ8. The card comes loaded with agility, breakaway speed, and jukes that can leave defenders in the mud-especially when you throw on Leapfrog to avoid fumbles on hurdles. Hot routes are still annoying. EA still saddles Lamar with custom audibles that many players find clunky, especially during pre-snap motion. But if you can live with that, you'll find him more tolerable than past QBs like Mahomes, whose hot routes were borderline unusable. Gameplay footage has shown The Eraser breaking ankles, spinning defenders like it's 2019, and generally terrorizing defenses. Whether it's dodging KOs, torching safeties, or pulling off insane spins reminiscent of Lamar's real-life double spin against the Bengals, this card keeps delivering highlight plays. The Gameplay Experience: A Rollercoaster Gameplay commentary around this card has been nothing short of electric. Whether it's unfortunate KO timing, play-action glitches, or wild throws without velocity boosts, Lamar's games are always entertaining. One thing is clear: he thrives in chaos. But the gameplay isn't without its quirks: ·Jet sweep spins can glitch ·Motioning players pre-snap is painfully slow ·Blue-timed throws without velocity look like floating ducks ·Despite the hiccups, when things click, The Eraser lives up to his name. Even without the LTD, users have been showing Lamar torching elite defenses in MUT Champs, leaping linebackers, and spinning through helpless AI tacklers.Should You Add Lamar Jackson to Your Team? Let's be real. The LTD probably isn't worth it. With how rare it is and how likely it is to be over three million coins, you're better off grabbing the set version and customizing your stack. If you're a free-to-play player, Lamar is a godsend. He gives you elite-level scrambling, juking, and deep throw potential without needing to sink in a fortune. If you're running a Ravens theme team, then yeah-you're gonna want him. But even Browns fans (reluctantly) have to admit this card is filthy. Just know what you're getting into: hot routes that make you scratch your head, no built-in velocity, and a limited pool of stack options unless you're willing to spend. But even with all that, this card feels right. It feels like Madden finally gave Lamar the tools to be Lamar again Madden nfl 26 coins. Final Thoughts: Quarterback One? Is The Eraser QB1 in Madden 26? If we're just talking about the LTD, maybe. But again, that card might as well be Bigfoot. The set version? Still elite. He's not perfect, but in the right hands, he can absolutely be the best QB in the game-especially if you prioritize mobility and improvisation. Lamar Jackson remains one of Madden's most dynamic players, and The Eraser continues that tradition in style. Whether you're breaking ankles or lobbing deep balls, this card makes every snap an adrenaline rush.
