Madden Ultimate Team (or MUT for short) is a Madden NFL game mode where you can create your dream team. It’s like Fantasy Football, but you get to control how your team performs throughout the game by playing as them.
With MUT, you can play games against other players’ teams to earn Coins, buy or sell players through the Auction House, and build your Ultimate Team.
When you start your MUT team, you’ll have to complete a challenge to unlock your starter team. This team is the base for your Ultimate Team. As you play games and complete challenges, you’ll get Coins and Packs which you can use to build your dream team.
As you progress, use the Lineup menu to swap out old players for new ones and improve your Overall Rating (OVR) and Chemistry scores. If you need suggestions on how to make the most of your players, try the Generate Best Lineup option in your Lineup menu.
Chemistry plays an important role in how your team performs. As you build your team, consider if the players you’re putting together have good Chemistry. If they do, your team can gain stat boosts.
You can use players from multiple NFL teams in your Ultimate Team, but stat boosts only apply to players that have the same Team Chemistry. For example, if you’re playing a team using players from the Jets and the Raiders, your Jets players only get the boost by sharing Jets Team Chemistry with other Jets players.
Some items can change the type of Chemistry a particular player has and boost their ability to get your team to the Chemistry score you want. To check your Chemistry score, open the Lineup menu. You’ll find your active Team Chemistry totals in the Chemistry section.
All of these contribute to your team’s OVR, along with how highly rated your players are. The higher the OVR, the better your Ultimate Team.
Once you’re happy with your team, you can start playing against friends and other Madden fans. MUT has many different game types to choose from. Try them all to get the most out of your Ultimate Team.
Your starting team is good, but you want your Ultimate Team to be great. Here’s how to improve your team.
