Madden NFL 17 Mega Guide: Making Gold Coins Faster, Unlimited Draft Picks, Ultimate Team Top Players

EA Tiburon and EA Sports’ Madden NFL 17  is now available and we have a complete guide for the same. Using this guide you will be able to earn unlimited draft picks, make gold coins faster, learn everything about Ultimate Team, top players, ranked draft champions and ranked salary cap modes.

We have also included a video guide for some of the trophies and achievements of the game. Madden NFL 17 is now available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Let us know in the comments section below if you have any questions about the game.

Unlimited Draft Picks:

If you want Unlimited Draft Picks in Madden 17 – which can be a powerful thing for you to have as you manage your team and try to take them to victory – then you’ll be happy to know that just such a method exists in Madden, which lets you get this (unfair) leg up on the AI competition.

  • Start with a team in the pre-season
  • Go to the free agency, and sign three agents (this hurts your cap, but you trade them on as soon as you sign them, which means their salary is taken off your draft, meaning you effectively get a free draft pick and trade)
  • The reason you do this in pre-season is because you have better free agents to sign later. Try to sign very young free agents (young rookie agents with the highest overall value)
  • Go to the trade center and put an offer. Try to then milk the best draft pick you can get out of the other teams, including with multiple rounds of trading if necessary- don’t worry so much, since the draft pick here is absolutely free
  • Do this with the other signed agents too, with, again, multiple rounds of draft picks- again, these draft picks are for absolutely nothing
  • This process should net you essentially the top draft picks in the NFL for no cost.

For more details and specifics on how this works, check out the video below.

How To Make Gold Coins Faster:

Having more coins on hand is always welcome- and making them faster is one way of having more of them on hand. After all, having more coins on hand means you’re ready to start spending big on your team. However, the way Madden’s economy works, you may not know the best way to get rich.

One way to get rich is to make money faster- and this video below explains exactly how a new player might achieve that. It does that by explaining two separate routes, one for players who may be willing to spend some money straight upfront, and another for players who don’t want to spend money right off the bat. Either way, you’ll be making a lot of gold very fast, very soon- so it’s worth trying.

Madden NFL 17 Ultimate Team Guide:

Ultimate Team is one of the core elements of any sports games from EA Sports and Madden NFL 17 is no different. However the developers have implemented some changes and tweaked a few things in the latest iteration so let us take a look at them.

Ranked Draft Champions And Ranked Salary Cap Modes:

The Madden 17’s Championship series has $1 million up for grabs and the only way to win that is through the Ranked Draft Champions and Ranked Salary Cap modes. However this time around a few things have been changed in both of them. The first major in DCR (Ranked Draft Champions) is that the leaderboards will give you a clear indication of how you stack up against other players and you will have almost twice the number of players available compared to previous iterations. Furthermore, both Ranked Draft Champions and Ranked Salary Cap Modes have been allocated new rewards. They are:

DCR Rewards:

– COST: 3 Tickets
– DURATION: 6 Wins or 2 Losses
– 0 WINS: 1 Pro Pack, 2 Coin Quicksells
– 1 WIN: 1 Competitive Badge, 1 Pro Pack, 3 Coin Quicksells
