Sure, Madden NFL 16, which will reflect the upcoming season in the NFL, won't release until August 25, but Buccaneers fans eager to turn the page from a horrific 2015 season can get a taste of the future right now in Madden 15.
Electronic Arts has spotlighted the 2015 NFL Draft's number one overall pick, Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston (now officially a Tamba Bay Buccaneer), as one of the 32 rookies that have now been added to Madden NFL 15's Madden Ultimate Team. While Jameis was the talk of the draft leading up to the big event, there's plenty of other first round talent to be had.
According to EA:
MUT players can unlock a valuable Elite edition Player by completing a Set with a few Collectibles and Player Item from Packs. This is the only way to play with the new NFL draftees in Madden NFL 15!
Special NFL Draft Badge Collectible Items will be available in Packs beginning Wednesday, April 22.
Players will also receive one of these Items the first time they log in each day.
Non-tradeable NFL Draft Badge Collectibles will also be available in Solo Challenges, which can be used to complete player-specific Sets on the night of the NFL Draft.
New team Draft Collectibles will also be added to Packs on the night of Wednesday, April 22. Players can collect all 32 teams, or trade for their favorites.
These Collectibles are needed to complete the NFL Draft Sets coming on Thursday, April 30. The Team Draft Collectible has to match the NFL Team that drafted the Player in order to complete the Set.
The fun continues on Draft Night, as the MUT Team adds special edition Player Items for each first-round draft choice into Packs.
A new Set will be available as each first-round pick is made, and players can add Items to receive a valuable Elite edition of the player.
