Golden Ticket Ultimate Challenge
The Golden Ticket Program is back in Madden Ultimate Team this year! For those who are new to MUT, finding a Golden Ticket allows you to create a player item that will be added to MUT (some restrictions apply). Players will be able to participate in the Madden 20 Golden Ticket Program by playing Limited Time Ultimate Challenges that will be available for 1 hour. The dates and times the Ultimate Challenges will be available are below:
- Tuesday, March 10th @ 9PM ET
- Friday, March 13th @ 10PM ET
Each day EA will be giving out a total of 5 Golden Ticket collectibles on Xbox One and 5 on PS4 for a total of 20 Golden Tickets. The format for the Golden Ticket Ultimate Challenges will be a full game with 3 minute quarters. After completion of the Ultimate Challenge, you will receive a reward that will either be a coin quicksell or the Golden Ticket collectible. EA will be monitoring who received the Golden Ticket collectibles. Their goal is to reach out to all players that received Golden Ticket collectibles by Monday, March 16th through their Madden Rewards e-mail address to get information about the Golden Ticket they would like to create. Please note that Golden Ticket player creation will be based on a first come, first serve basis for Golden Ticket winners. This means that whoever contacts EA first is guaranteed to get their choice of player, but this may not hold true the further along they go in the process. There will be no duplicate Golden Ticket players on the same side of the ball.

Depending on how quickly EA receives Golden Ticket player information after contacting winners, they are looking to release 2 Golden Ticket players every Thursday.
If you are one of the lucky few to win a Golden Ticket, who will you create? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below.

Wait you say (see) below but I’m confused I don’t know what that means I’m interested rn

I don't play console, never have, maybe never will, and so I have no clue what's going on with all of this. But out of curiosity I checked out said users lineups, and I don't think a fully grown adult who works at EA would name their teams like that. Looks much more like a little kid to me.

That's not a strong connection man, I'm sorry. Not going to get involved in this. But I do think you're attacking a random kid for no reason. And EA cannot ban Twitter accounts. If he was using profane language or "hate speech", that'll get him banned no matter who he's complaining to.
“Not going to get involved in this.” Yet, you continue to do so. Here’s another gem “and so I have no clue what's going on with all of this.” You just summed it up for yourself. Furthermore, you are wildly misinformed, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube etc. are banning accounts, despite no hate speech being involved. Free speech is being curtailed on many of these platforms. Just do some research, Facebook, YouTube, etc. have been forced to apologize and reinstate accounts when folks have pushed back and retained lawyers. Judicial Watch has been instrumental in exposing what these platforms are doing. Next you’ll tell me Facebook hasn’t been spying on and collecting people’s personal information too. For the learning impaired, I’ll post this again: I have a few friends who work at EA Tiburon in Maitland, FL. I live right down the road from there and was actually offered a job there in 2007. I made some inquiries. I don’t care if you don’t believe me. That’s your right. But it’s my right to post as well. So, if you “have no clue what's going on with all of this“ and aren’t “going to get involved in this,” then don’t.
Wait a minute, did you just say people have obtained lawyers? For banned social media accounts. Do you mean the whiny congressman that sued Twitter for 250 million because people were making parody accounts about him? Or the user that sued Twitter for banning her account when she violated the Hateful Conduct policy, several times, after repeated warnings? She lost that lawsuit btw. Tons of Youtube accounts were banned for being bots, spammers, and/or pedophiles. Yes Facebook is sketchy, but seriously, it "spying and collecting info" is all on those willing to put it into their system. If you don't think they're storing it somewhere, you're stupid. You are clearly an ill-informed conspiracist who is also referencing an incredibly biased news source. I know better than to continue this conversation. Quit harassing someone without substantial proof that they are who you think they are. Take care.

Oh my word dude. All I'm saying is there is no proof whatsoever that the person you are accusing of being an EA tester is an EA tester. Where is your evidence? He made a disagreeing reply on your comment? Seriously? More than likely you are calling out an innocent kid for no reason. It doesn't matter that you have friends who work there. It doesn't matter that you were offered a job there. I'm just trying to prevent you from getting potentially banned for online harassment (which then you will probably deem as unfair and a violation of a freedom of speech and even more proof that he is who you think he is because your tunnel vision is that bad). Take it or leave it, I'm out.

i left 2 weeks ago, i play only franchise now. I became a lot happier person.
For real. Nothing but a GT farce which amounted to 0 content for the week. Tomorrow we get a couple rehashed ULs and that's it? No way am I playing those stupid solos tonight. Actually I probably won't play all weekend. I've only played once this week, Tues., I learned my lesson on that one. Not getting suckered into that again. Looks like Zirksee and CC are creating the GTs. Another EA flop. I like/hate this game but I hate YouTube coin sellers.

I think the answer to your question is pretty obvious. One is making buckets of cash while putting in minimal effort and the other is let down year after year but always comes back for more. Who sounds dumber?
Note to EA - you sell your game in other countries? 9 or 10 Eastern is 1 or 2 AM in the UK, 2 or 3 AM in most of Europe. You can stick those challenges right up your stupid arses.
Edited by arion875
I agree. That’s 3 am here. At least make one in the morning US time. No. Both at the same hour. Fucking idiots
Yes i'm french and i had to wait til 2 AM for the beggining of this f*** event and 30 minutes later servers still crashing. So i go to my bed very late to wake up 4 hours later to go to work. thanks EA. PS: sorry for my english i'm french :)
they do it at those times because it is the most convenient for the people in the US, who is their biggest market, seeing as the NFL is played in america lol
American Football is played in America?? Really? And? Why not have 3 times? 2 stateside and one for TROTW? Or how about 1 one of those times not being at impossible o'clock in the fucking morning for everyone NOT in America? There's a world out there mate...
I gotcha brother. I live in the U.S. and I still totally agree with you. Many people around the world watch football. Using a 1 hour time frame with broken servers totally alienates those who live in other countries. Since they have broken servers, they should have had the challenges up the whole day at the very least to accommodate EVERY fan regardless of where they live around the globe. It would have had no effect on this program whatsoever. Plus it would have alleviated the stress placed on those “state of the art” servers. Terrible planning and execution on EA’s part.
It's crazy? On the one hand we have the NFL promoting the bejesus out of the International Series SPECIFICALLY to broaden the viewership of the game outside of America and on the other these dumb fucks at EA completely ignore the fact that a large chunk of their customer base can't do a challenge at 1.00am on a fucking WORK DAY because they don't live in America!!
Yup, exactly right. It’s a very strange way to market a product. And it’s a perfect recipe to ensure you lose fans and subsequently lose money in the years that follow. But it seems to coincide with the way EA makes their games now. Each year they get worse instead of better. I don’t expect perfection, but their games have major flaws that didn’t exist even a few years ago. A once powerhouse of a company, is now just a shell of its former self. It shows why monopolies don’t work. I guarantee if 2k was making an actual football sim in 21, instead of just “a fun arcade like experience,” EA would be forced to up their game and put out a better product. Instead, like most major companies these days, they cut costs everywhere to ensure they make obscene profits and ignore putting out a quality product. Their thought process is, what are you going to do, buy another product (a football sim)? Good luck finding one, we’re the only game out there that makes an actual football sim. So, the only way to reach them, is to not buy their product at all. Most people can’t resist though and they count on it. I stepped away from this game back in the late 2000’s (after buying it religiously since its inception) and returned for 2015 and then 16. I thought 16 was distinct step backwards and I stepped away again, until this year. I’ll be moving away from this game once again. Maybe one day they’ll wake up, but I sincerely doubt it
The Golden ticket event is a joke. Can't even get in to play. EA servers keep shutting down FU EA!!

Interesting. Player complains about EA's broken servers, gets 33 upvotes, then guess what? Comment deleted.

Mad comment.

You should be EMBARRASSED of YOUR servers.

He’s the one and only guy who runs the servers. Overworked, underpaid, and under appreciated 😂

Where are the challenges in the lobby??? Im reloading and refeeshing and there is nothing golden ticket related. Its 9.10pm - started 10 min ago
Nm. Its there now. But keeps crashing when i try to open the list of solos.
This is frustrating af. I feel like im tryin to win tickets from a radio show... every time i open the solo- i get a busy signal
Edited by KidVigorous
Why are you so upset? There's plenty of content in the auction house, why do you need to play solos? This game is amazing! Thanks EA for another great year of putting out mostly the same game but worse.
Well I can’t even get in the challenge and I’ve been on and playing hoping they wouldn’t slow me. I never have a shot and been at this for way too long. Heart breaking to be honest.
What else did you expect from EA? Lmao. It's on your for wasting your time on their garbage. I, for one, have decided I'm done wasting my time in Madden until they remove packs and fix the problems the game has had for the last decade.
My guess, if servers don't go down, quicksell will be 7,500 coins. Or less. Don't anyone get their hopes up for a collectable, it's 5, out of how many people? 99.9% of us will be playing a solo for 7,500 coins. It's EA, by this time, we all know the odds of this being a bust.
Lmao, you still managed to underestimate EA's greed. Only 3k coins 😂
Sad how we all knew this promo would be a sh!t show.
No kidding

Another prediction.....a youtuber pulls a collectable tonight.
anyone know what muthead credit does for me
cus im kinda lost on wtf its used for

They did server maintenance at 6:30 am EST today. They had to fix the 2 tin cans and string they call servers for Friday’s encore. 🤣
All the little tech nerds at EA can go F themselves!!!! #donewithmadden
What tech nerds? If they had tech nerds, they wouldn't have so many issues with their servers. The reality is that EA is probably only able to hire scum that doesn't mind working on a virtual casino for children.
I’m 2K of agrees!
yet anther reason once this game is over I'm never playing again. Madden 08 still the best the least amount of BS plays and the best overall game play.
...said every Madden player (including me) every year since 08!
[deleted]
I’m definitely out too. Let’s see if we can start a mass exodus or at least a ripple. The only way to shake greedy companies awake is to hit them in their wallet.
Golden Failure.
We will see these people from EA sports again after this year, if you are looking to buy a timeshare in Jacksonville, Florida Or were scammed into a fake insurance scheme and looking at a line up of suspects..#trashintrashout
As someone who plays on PC and cannot participate (which is absolute bullshit), if one of y'all gets a ticket and makes a Miles Sanders I just might pay you
The reason they didn't let pc players in is because there aren't enough of us to crash their servers for the pc, and they clearly don't want everyone to be able to play the solos.
Edited by bolt_gang_all_day
Lol, so true.
I agree It's COMPLETE BS that we can't do these on PC
Ikr, like it'd be so cool to make your own player and give an underrated player a sick card but sadly I'll never know lmao
EA should give us all golden tickets for this BS

Plus you would think they would've learned there lesson with the 1 hour store deals earlier this year. I have dozens of friends on PSN who couldn't even connect, then we just get 3 1k quicksells? What a jipp.
Yeah, I don’t get why they do this. They know their servers are broken, yet they insist everyone in the world log on for 1 hour for a shot at this. They know they are only giving away 5 per console, so what’s the big deal if the challenges are up for the whole day or not. It just ends up making them look worse, which is almost impossible to do at this point. Yet they pull it off in spectacular fashion. And the 1k quicksells were the ultimate kick in the balls. If I had known that, I wouldn’t have even bothered. I certainly didn’t expect to win a GT, but I was hoping for at least a 5k quicksell or so at minimum. But that’s what I get for thinking. Can you imagine how bad the servers will be on Friday? I won’t be bothering to attempt this fiasco again.
I agree
ITS 9:16 PM AND THE CHALLENGES DISAPPEARED, I CANT BELIEVE IT, WHO ELSE CANT SEE THE GOLDEN TICKET CHALLENGES, I NEED TO PLAY THEM
So far all EA has given me is a Golden Shower with their broken servers
this is the best comment on this thread
Thank you sir, I was hoping to add a little levity to this debacle.
Bullshit!
Same here man this shit sucks
Same here, can't get past the prospecting screen.
I told my kid there was a 90% chance the server would crash.

The movie is Anchorman, but yeah exactly haha
Yeah, I caught that after I wrote it, but the movie is really called Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy...touche
Yeah, you got me there 😂
And u were right. EA either makes people pay for something or they don’t let a large amount of people be able to get on their game.
