Play Now:

In Play Now, players can have two teams fight it out or have four players within the same team or have some of them in the opposing team. These matches can be played with or against AI but don’t expect any rewards in return.

Ultimate Team Guide:

For those who have already played previous games in the series, nothing much has changed here. However there are a few additions. The developers have tweaked the old system so that it will be more enjoyable to earn awards and build your dream team. Both Solo Challenges and Sets have received face lifts that will help players relevant information quickly than ever before.

The batch quicksell limit has been increased from 20 to 100 whereas objectives can also cover in-game challenges or winning specific Solo Challenges. Solo Challenges also show game times, locations and more data than before. Players can now create Ultimate Moment “scenario” games which can be a part of the Ultimate Moment in MUT.

Other feature updates include MUT Gauntlet improvements and the addition of Draft Champions which can unlock further rewards. The idea of Draft Champions is to consistently give players draft nights, once the draft is over players can lead their squad into a new game. The way it works is that you need to select one of three coaches the game offers which in turn will decide your team’s level of offense and defense. As you play more matches, you will be able to decide which players are to be upgraded. Upgrading gives you three choice for players, what you pick is extremely important, however each pick will give you a guaranteed upgrade to your base team. Please note that the quality of players available for selection may drop from round to round which results into a different draft round every time.

As you win matches, the level of competition will increase as well until you face the championship game in the brand new Draft Champions Stadium.
