• MUT 19 NFL Offseason Program Overview

     

    Today EA launched the NFL Offseason Program, which is made up of multiple parts. They introduced Series 5, Team MVPs, Team Builders, a new Scout Chemistry, and more. Series 5 raises the Level Cap to 80 and allows Ryan Shazier to be updated to a 99 OVR. Here's a quick overview of everything:
