Ok, so again here are some things I think we learned from Week 7 of the NFL Slate

1. Both the Broncos and Panthers were benefitted by soft early schedules and will struggle to hit .500
2. Matt Stafford and Cooper Kupp may be the best duo in football right now
3. Pete Carroll has been carried by Russ, not the other way around
4. The Bengals are a legit contender

It is time for TOTW in Madden 22 and (no surprise) that Cooper Kupp is the POTW. I thought we might get Jamarr Chase or Mike Evans POTW, but Kupp gets a needed …

Weekend one of Double Elimination action is in the books, with plenty of surprises from the Madden 22 action. We saw a little bit of everything from a plethora of games over the first 2 days of the tournament. 4 players (2 from each console) have already qualified for the live event, while also guaranteeing themselves $15,000 in prize money. Let's take a look at who conquered the Winner's Bracket on each console:

Big weekend in competitive Madden, and we are getting some BIG players in Madden 22. I mean literally big, like lineman and linebackers. On the offensive side of the ball, we get the anchor of so many good Pittsburgh Steeler offensive lines in Maurkice Pouncey. If you are looking for an anchor of your line, Pouncey is an Agile archetype Center, with 92 STR, 91 PBK, and 92 RBK. Certainly he will make some teams, especially if you are building a Steelers TT.

On the defensive side of the ball, we got a deep cut at linebacker. I had to …

Well, well, well...do we have the new best QB in the game. It is LTD Thursday and EA dropped some straight FIRE today! These items are available for 48 hours in packs and have a $250k quicksell...but you are not selling the offensive LTD today. Quack quack Oregon Ducks it is none other than Justin Herbert. Herbert is a Field General archetype (HRM incoming) with 85 SPD, 93 THP, 92 RUN, and 88 DAC. Herbert has the mobility to get out of the pocket and will get hot route master...it's a tough choice between him and Dan.

Defensively, we get …

Ol (er, Young) King Henry- Ever since storming onto the scene in Madden 20, Henry has been Mr. Live Event, qualifying for every MCS live final he has been eligible. Unfortunately, he has yet to reach the top and win an individual belt (he did win the M21 …

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! I spent my time in Cleveland in 50 degree weather in the rain watching the Browns get WORKED by the Cardinals....so that was fun. New week, though, and new players in the Team of the Week program. The POTW for Week 6 is Jonathan Taylor, coming off a 158 yd 2 TD performance against the Texans. Taylor has base 91 SPD, 90 ACC, 91 AGI, and 91 COD. The offensive hero this week is legendary TE Vernon Davis, rocking 90 SPD, 92 CTH, 90 CIT, and 91 SPC. Defensively, we are going way back …

It is TOO SPOOKY in Madden 22 with Most Feared being released. This is the first release of the Most Feared items in the game, and boy do we have some gamechangers that are gonna shape a lot of the teams for tomorrows final ladder weekend of the Ultimate Thanksgiving tournament.

Goooooooooooooooooooood Thursday morning/afternoon depending on your time zone. Hope you all are having a wonderful Thursday and I don't know about you, but I'm lowkey excited for the Bucs Eagles game tonight. We have more LTDs into the game of Madden 22 today. All of these items are available for 48 hrs and have a quicksell of 250k coins. On offense, we get one half of the dynamic WR duo in Seattle. It is Geno Smith's favorite target Tyler Lockett! Locket hass 92 SPD, 92 ACC, 93 AGI, and 93 DRR. The Seahawks TT just got a little more dangerous. …

Apologies for no article on TOTW yesterday, I unfortunately was under the weather and spent most of the day in bed. We have Wildcard Wednesday today and it is time to add more of the young guns to the game of Madden 22 with the Rising Stars program. These players can be found in all packs, and specifically in Rising Stars player packs which cost 5,000 training points in the store for 1 random 89+ Rising Star.. This weeks players added to the game are "Big" Mac Jones, Gregory "Inspector" Rousseau (this one is both a pun and an old …

Well, friends, the time is finally here. Pocket passers and those e-book route combo studiers are now gonna be Heavy Panther QB Blast running pains in our butt. Ladies and gentlemen, Michael Dwayne Vick is in Madden NFL 22. The former Virginia Tech Hokie is an Improviser archetype QB, rocking 92 SPD (that is not a typo), 92 THP, 92 RUN, and 90 DAC. Vick might be the move for ladders this weekend....

In another shocking turn of events, the Raiders Theme Team gets another stellar piece to their team. It is none other than the former dry heaves Michigan …

For the first time this year, we get a Series Redux release. These are prior LTD items that are getting rereleased as items that will be available for the rest of the year. These do not have the coin quicksell like the LTDs, instead selling for training like the majority of cards. All of these reduxes are 91 OVR. Let me know which ones you are adding to the squad!

SERIES REDUX

• Devin White - Bucs
• Nick Chubb - Browns

• Darren Waller - Ravens, Raiders

It is a beautiful Thursday (with a stellar TNF game tonight in Seattle...Hawks vs Rams who ya got???). It is a new batch of LTDs into Madden 22. A reminder that these items are available for 48 hours in packs and have a quicksell value of 250k coins. Offensively, I mean the Raiders TT has been blessed why not bless it some more. It is the big man in the middle, former FSU Seminole Rodney Hudson in the game. While his base item is Cardinals chem, Hudson will bring Chiefs and Raiders chem with his PUP. Hudson has 94 PBK, …

It's another Wildcard Wednesday and it is Veterans this week coming to Madden 22. Fun part about veterans is that they can switch chemistries to any team they have played for. In my personal opinion, this might be the best group of Vets we have seen, as many of these items are quite playable. This week we have Jason "The People's" McCourty, Ryan "Fitzception" Fitzpatrick, Robert "Harley" Quinn, Cordarrelle "Thanks For The 40 Points Last Week" Patterson, and Jared "Gordon Ramsey" Cook. Veterans Player Packs are live in the store for a random 88+ Veteran (4400 training). Check out all …

The Saints are dead to me and so are the Raiders and we are never talking about those games again. Other than that, another fun week of NFL action and it is time to reward some of the top performers with a Team of the Week items. Let's first talk about our LTDs, as we once again have 2 items available for 24 hours. The GOAT Tom Brady gets one for passing Drew Brees' all time passing yards record. Brady has 91 THP, 93 SAC/MAC, 90 DAC, and 55 SPD (had to throw that in there). The regular LTD is …

Happy Saturday everyone! I hope you guys have some awesome plans for this first weekend of October! Let's get into the Legends for this week, as we have 2 new players in Madden 22. A reminder that the LTDs will only be available in packs for 48 hours. On the offensive side of the ball....HERE WE GO BROWNIES HERE WE GO!! It is former Wisconsin Badger and guy I have had the pleasure of interviewing a few times, Mr. Joe Thomas! Thomas is a Pass Protector LT with 92 STR, 92 PBK, and 92 RBK. Might be a worth and …

The MUT content continues flying out of the factory, this time with the new Gridiron Guardians program. This program you may be familiar with, as it was formerly known as the MUT Heroes program, as exemplified by the players being stylized as super heroes. But, much like a 1960's cottage, the program needed a new coat of paint and some touch ups and...well here we are! First, lets take a look at the player list:

• 92 OVR Champions
  • Aaron Rodgers
  • Jalen Ramsey
  • Christian McCaffery
  • Fred Warner
• 90 OVR Heroes
  • DeForest Buckner
  • Mike Gesicki
  • Alvin Kamara

It's time for the weekly reminder to rip packs, as it is Limited Edition time in Madden 22! As a reminder, these items are only available in packs for the next 48 hours and have a quicksell value of 250k coins. This week on the offensive side of the ball, we get one of (in my estimation) the most underrated wide receivers in the NFL. It is the former USC Trojan Robert Woods making his presence known. Woods has 90 SPD, 91 CTH, 90 CIT, and 92 SRR.

On the defensive side of the ball, we get another hard hitting …

These boys are heavy and we are certainly not gonna wait for them, its Wildcard Wednesday Heavyweights today! If you are looking to beef up the trenches these are the guys who can help you out, especially for you budget ballers out there. These players are in the Heavyweights Packs that cost 3350 training, which will give you a random 88+ OVR Heavyweights player (or you can try to pull them in the multitude of other packs in the store. Today, we have in the game of Madden 22 boots up random nickname generator....Flyin' Ryan Kelly, Taylor "The Motor" …

Another fantastic week of NFL football. Here's what I think we learned:

1. Kickers are people too and they absolutely ROCK
2. The Rams and Matt Stafford are for real
3. The rookie QBs this year are...struggling early
4. Urban Meyer thought he was playing Purdue every week when he took the NFL job

Anyways, it's time for Team of the Week items. No surprise that the Player of the Week is Bills QB Josh Allen. He absolutely went off on the "vaunted" WFT defense for 358 passing yards and 5 total touchdowns. Allen may be the best QB in the game, rocking 91 …

A legendary weekend deserves some more Legends into the game of Madden 22. We have 2 new Legends here on a Saturday morning, getting slightly overshadowed by the Team Diamonds released on Friday. On the offensive side of the ball, we get another TE trying to take lineup spots away from Waller and Kittle. It is none other than former Syracuse Orangeman and longtime Baltimore Colt John Mackey. Mackey has 87 SPD, 91 CTH/CIT, and 91 SPC. Is he good enough to take a spot on your team? Let me know in the comments.

On defense, we get the 3 …

It is finally that time folks! Team Diamonds are in the game of Madden 22!! For those who are new to the game, these items provide 3x chemistries for their respective teams. Dan Marino is the TD Master, and he is the first QB in the game with Hot Route Master! This will certainly make building those Theme Teams a lot easier than it was yesterday! Here is the full list of Team Diamonds:

Team Diamonds

• MASTER: QB Dan Marino (x3 Dolphins, x1 all other teams)
• Bears: DT Tommie Harris (Chargers)
• Bengals: WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh (Seahawks, Ravens, Raiders)
• Bills: HB …

We got Team Diamonds coming tomorrow,, we have a new title update today, and it seems like we forgot we have LTDs in the game this morning! These items are available in packs for 48 hours and, honestly, I'm not sure how many people will be clamboring to rip packs. On offense, we have Dallas Cowboy HOSS La'el Collins at RT. Collins has 92 RBK and 90 PBK, so for those running Cowboys TT he is an improvement over the RTs out there (and adds a chem for dem Boys).

On offense, we get Harold Landry III at ROLB added …

ITS GETTIN WIIIIIILD ON WILDCARD WEDNESDAY! Okay maybe it isn't, like, SUPER wild....but we got 2 QBS from this set of Flashbacks. Remember, our last set of Flashbacks gave us the best QB in the game in Daniel Jones, so I'm interested to see your guys' opions on this set of Flashbacks. Todays items include A.J "If I Were A" Bouye, C.J. "Mr Flashback" Mosley, Micah Hyde and Go Seek, Ryan Tannehill the Mannehill, and Wham Bam Thank You Cam Newton. There are new challenges in the game (for a PUP of any one of todays players) and those count …

Another wild week in the National Football League, and we saw some amazing individual performances in those games. Let us take a look at the players coming into Madden 22 as Week 2's Team of the Week players. The Player of the Week item is Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Mike Edwards (2 pick sixes in their win over Atlanta) rocking 91 SPD, 91 ACC, and 90 ZCV. The LTD is Aaron Jones, who EA must have been nostradamus with because Jones went OFF last night with 4 touchdowns. Jones has 90 SPD, 91 ACC, 91 AGI, and 92 BTK.

The …

Two new legends into Madden 22 today and as we start to see theme teams filling out, these guys seem like great additions to fill out that roster. On the offensive side of the ball, we get former Pitt Panther and Jet/Patriot Curtis Martin at halfback. Martin comes into the game with 91 SPD, 93 ACC, and 92 BTK. I love him to replace some of those running backs we've seen like LT and even some Reggie Bush if you are still running a Jets theme team.

On defense, we get a Dallas Cowboy and our second Roy Williams...but this …

Lots of things going on in the MUT world right now, with house rules returning tomorrow and Team Diamonds finally being released next week!! Today, it's of course LTD Thursday and we got 2 new players available for the next 48 hours in packs.

On the offensive side of the ball we get former Minnesota Viking and star of the Buffalo Bills Stefon Diggs. The former Terp comes into the game with 89 SPD, 92 DRR, and 92 SPC. He is 90s in all three route running categories, but that 89 speed is going to hurt him a little. Bills …

What a weekend of NFL football that was! That Monday night game was a wild finish, we saw games coming down to the wire, and we saw Daniel Jones fumbling...so nothing has really changed! It is the first installment of the Team of the Week program, and we start things off with some pass rushing fiends. Myles Garrett gets the LTD TOTW item with 92 PMV andp 90 FMV at 92 OVR, coming off a 4 tackle, 1 sack, 8 QB pressure game vs the Chiefs. Chandler Jones, though, went absolutely bananas this weekend. He gets a 92 OVR Player …

WE GOT A FULL FOOTBALL WEEKEND LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!!! Which games are you guys most excited for? I obviously can't wait for Ohio State and Oregon today and Browns/Chiefs tomorrow! BUT, before we get there we have new Legends into the game of Madden 22.

First off, a staple in the game and someone who seems like he is always one of the first WRs on early MUT squads. It is none other than the pride of Mississippi Valley State University Jerry Rice. Rice comes into the game with 91 SPD, 90 SPC, and 90 CTH which seems like some …

The MCS is over (what a final it was) and it is back to a somewhat normal schedule. That means it is time for more LTD's to be released into Madden 22. For those who don't know, LTD's are limited edition items that are only available for 48 hours in packs.

Offensively we get the former Georgia Bulldog and soon to be leading rusher in the NFL for the Super Bowl Champion Cleveland Browns Nick Chubb!! Chubb is a Power Rusher HB rocking 89 SPD/ACC, 91 TRK, and 92 BTK. I love how they made this item with a combination …

Listen, I know the MCS style of play isn't everyone's cup of tea (and I know most of you were just watching to get rewards) but I hope you found at least one moment of fun last night watching the MCS Ultimate Kickoff. I know I had a blast calling it and it was cool seeing how many of you posted in the forums that you watched so thank you.

We have our first set of Vets into the game on Wildcard Wednesday today. You can purchase an 88+ veteran player in the store for 2,700 training. Our Vets into …

Legendary human beings are in the game of Madden 22 today and its all about that bass, bout that bass.........no treble.

We got some big hosses as our Legends released into Madden 22. We start things off on the offensive side of the ball with a 3x Pro Bowler who knew how to protect the QB. It is none other than the former Texas Longhorn Leonard Davis. Davis is a Power Right Guard rocking 90 STR, 91 PBK, and 91 RBK. Not a ton of top end guards in the game right now so certainly worth a grab!

Defensively, we …

Thank you for all of your patience. Been on a plane since early this morning and just got to where I can load up the site. It's the weekend so we have Ultimate Legends into the game of Madden Ultimate Team and we got some big names today. The LTD is former Virginia Cavalier and Super Bowl Champion Ronde Barber. Barber enters the game with 96 SPD, 97 COD, and 98 MCV. The offensive legend is the star of Tecmo Bowl and 2 sport legend Bo Jackson. The former Auburn Tiger is back in Madden with 99 SPD, 98 ACC, …

The weekend is just around the corner and that means we have some more Golden Tickets released into Madden 21. The rumor mill has told me that this particular Golden Ticket release might be the best one so far? Let me know in the comments if this is the best group of items that have been released in the GT set. Today, we have The Gadget Man Taysom Hill, ASU Beast Brandon Aiyuk, the man who's name definitely sounds like the fake one you give to solicitors Jimmy Smith, and Mr. Money in the Carl Banks. Remember that there is …

It gets very hot in the summer here in Arizona, as we topped 100 degrees again yesterday. For that, it was necessary (darn near crucial) to have a device circulating the air in the house and creating a breeze to keep you cool. What I'm saying is, I really appreciated my fan yesterday..........................

And EA appreciates you guys, as we have part 2 of the Fan Appreciation program. We have 20 new challenges in the game, which will allow you to get the 99 OVR NAT Golden Ticket Fantasy Pack and select any one of the GTs that are released …

This week includes Dallas Cowboy WR Amari Cooper, former USC star Matt Leinart, Super Bowl Champ Dre' Bly, Panthers DE Charles Johnson, former G from THE Ohio State University Andrew Norwell, and fomer Cleveland Brown LEG...well he was solid and played on some bad teams D'Qwell Jackson. A reminder that these items allow the players to …

Elton John said that Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting, but he neglected to mention that Saturday Morning's Perfect for Ultimate Legends...admittedly a less catchy song. We got 3 more Ultimate Legends into the game today, starting of with LTD Tony Romo. The former Eastern Illinois Panther is an Improviser archetype with 83 SPD, 98 RUN, and 99 DAC. Will he be remembered more as a football player of a commentator? Let me know in the comments.

The offensive legend is without a doubt one of the greatest Tight Ends in the game. It is none other than former Cal Golden …

Damn, I used my Golden Girls reference earlier this week. Shoulda saved it for the Golden Tickets release. Nonetheless, its GT release day once again and I'm curious as to all of your opinions on this weeks GTs. We have Derrick Henry Handoff Legend Ryan Tannehill, Green Bay defensive beast Za'Darius Smith, the hungriest man in Dallas Ezekiel Elliot, and the Leather Helmet Legend Jim Thorpe. Remember that there is an increased chance to pull a Golden Ticket in the first 48 hours so make sure to get ripping ASAP. Here are the players with their team chems listed!

It's Golden Ticket Friday is what I'm saying and we have 4 new GTs into the game, and personally I think these are better than last weeks release. I'm loving the SS DK Metcalf GT. 99 coverages, 99 jumping, 98 speed and …

Well this took a bit, huh? After a decently long server maintenance this morning, we finally got another installment of the NFL Draft release. This is the 6th release of items in this program and features players from the 2nd-5th rounds of the 2021 NFL Draft. Bad news is there are no new sets or challenges to get these items.

NFL DRAFT RELEASE 6:

To misquote the words of famed late 80's early 90's Europop group Snap! (one of my favorite groups to have punctuation in their name btw). I GOT THE POWER...Up Expansions. This program is pretty self explanatory; it's an expansion of the Power Up programs giving those existing Power Ups new steps to upgrade. This allows these players to reach 98 OVR and add a 4th ability slot. Look for these every Tuesday for the forseeable future. Check out the upgraded PUs below, listed with their former teams:

POWER UP EXPANSIONS

• Saquon Barkley (Giants)
• Roddy White (Falcons)
• Osi Umenyiora (Giants, Falcons) …

Get outta bed Grandpa Joe, WE GOT MORE GOLDEN TICKETS! This is the second release of the community created Golden Tickets. Remember all of these items can change to any of the team chems that they previously played for without needing a Power Up (note: this is less relevant to this particular release as all of these players have only played for one team). The tickets are live in packs now and there is an increased chance at pulling a GT from packs in the first 48 hours! Let me know what has been your favorite GT so far (or …

I read some of the comments from my last post and I heard a lot of comments about how cringe my writing style. And, you know, I certainly hear what you're saying. I will mold my writing personality to make sure that I appease you guys who don't enjoy the feel of my articles. With that in mind, we have some Ultimate Legends into the game on this checks calendar ......don't do it Nick. They don't like it, Nick. They don't checks calendar.........................................

Our first UL is a 49ers defensive legend who still haunts the minds of NFC West …

It is time for the FINAL LTD release of the year. Let us all reminisce and fondly remember all the amazing LTD items we got this year montage of LTDs

Ladies and gentlemen, it is former Purdue Boilermaker Raheem Mostert! Mostert comes into the game with 98 SPD, 97 ACC, and 96 COD, plus he goes on one of the best TTs in the game! Also, did you know …

It's something unpredictable
But in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life

The Los Angeles Ram comes into the game of Madden with 96 SPD, 99 CTH, and 98 both SRR/MRR. I've always though Woods deserved more credit as a top WR, what …

Happy weekend MUTHead family! We got some Ultimate Legends released into the game today that I'm excited for because I'm a biased human being who enjoys seeing his team represented. You may be asking yourself, "Nick, first of all, we know that. Second of all, there are no Cleveland Browns today you dingus!" Fear not my friends because I have many personal biases that EA can take my money for...because our first legend into the game today is not only a former Tennessee Titan, but he is a Heisman Trophy winner from THE Ohio State University, Mr. Edward Nathan George …

Its time for some more LTD's in the game of John Madden Football, and we have ourselves some strong items live right now. On offense, how about a defending Super Bowl Champion? That's right, it's former Penn State Nittany Lion Chris Godwin coming to the game. Standing at 6'1", Godwin comes into the game with 96 SPD (so that'll be a 99 with chems), 99 CTH, and 97 CIT. He has great hands and can make some specatactular plays. Defensively, the Washington Football Team gets some more defensive love (as if they needed it), with former Purdue Boilermaker Ryan Kerrigan. …

Listen, we all need to look ahead to the future. At the end of the day, however, it is important to look back and appreciate what we had. There's your deep thought for the day, appreciate the past my friends.

Another legendary weekend is on the horizon, as it is time once again for EA to release more Ultimate Legends!!

So my choices of music references for the Sugar Rush program were either I Want Candy or that SugarCrash TikTok song. I'm a 31 year old man who decided those were the two references I could come up with...coooooool. The Sugar Rush program is live in Ultimate Team and there is A LOT of information to parse through. I captured as much info as I could from the GMM stream and tried to put it in bullet point form. Let me know in the comments if it is too much or too little information, and what needs to be added …

Happy Thursday to everyone in the MUTHead community! It is LTD time and we have two beasts coming to the game of John Madden Football. Defensively, we have current New York Jet and former Florida Gator Brian Poole. I've seen a lot of people on Twitter talking about how good this 98 OVR cornerback looks, ratings wise. He comes in with 96 SPD, 97 ACC, 97 MCV, and 95 ZCV, which certainly put him in the upper echelon of all defensive packs in Ultimate Team. Offensively, we need to protect the quarterback from those angry pass rushers. How about we …

To misquote the words of the immortal Bruce Springsteen, we're born to be wiiiiiiiildcaaaaard (thank you I'll be here all week).

Veterans Player packs contain 1x random 89+ OVR Veterans Player item and each of today's new …

Thirsty Thursday is here and I know all you MUT fans are thirsty for some LTDs! We got 2 studs coming to the game, starting with former Giant, Seahawk, and Lion (and sought after free agent) Golden Tate. Tate comes in stock with 95 SPD and 97 SRR, so he can run those quick off the line routes. While maybe not the flashiest WR, there are certainly some theme teams that would love to add Golden Great. On defense, how about former Clemson Tiger and current Cincinnati Bengal DJ Reader. A beast on the line, Reader comes in with 95 …

TOP OF THE MORNIN TO YA! Happy Saint Patty's Day to everyone out there and a happy WILDCARD WEDNESDAY to you as well! Today, we got some Campus Heroes power ups released and a Drew Brees Tribute item. I am a big fan of the Campus Heroes program as a college football fan. These may not be the most exciting releases in the world (since these items already have their team chemand you can only get these players to a 96) but I still love reminicing about these guys playing on Saturdays. Power ups were added for the following players: …

Free Agency is one of the most exciting times in the NFL, and now that excitement live in Madden Ultimate Team! This program features some of the biggest stars who hit the free agent market this season (although some weren't on the market too long). The set features 18 players (6 heroes) and 2 additional masters, bringing the total to 20 items you can collect. The defensive master is none other than former Wisconsin Badger and Houston Texan turned Arizona Cardinal JJ Watt (seriously, who saw Watt going to the desert??). The offensive master is former Mississippi State Bulldog and …

Saturday night might be alright for fighting (sorry to all of you who are too young for that reference) but Saturday morning is all about the LEGENDS! The UL Program dropped some fire today, starting off with one of the most feared CB's, longtime New York Jet and former Pitt Panther Darrelle Revis. His 98 OVR legend comes stock with 95 spd, 98 MCV, and 98 PRS so with your chems he'll have 99s a plenty. The offense needed some love today, so former Miami Hurricane and TE Legend Jeremy Shockey makes his appearance in Madden NFL 21. While not …

Friday Night Football brought some midweek magic, as it eminated on a Wednesday due to the Yard Invitational (more on that in a bit).
