Below are some of the best ways to earn the new 90+ overall cards that just dropped.

Zero Chill
Zero Chill part three is adding a brand-new twist to the promo with the release of Ghosts of MUT Past, Present, and Future over the next two weeks. Part three includes 24 different players, and 14 players are hiding within presents. Upon logging on today you can earn yourself an 84 overall RB Tavon Austin that can be upgraded to a 93 overall with snow. When upgraded to 93 overall, Austin has 95 speed, 95 acceleration, 95 change of direction, and 97 agility making him one of the most elusive backs in the game.
By completing solo challenges, we can also earn a 91 overall LOLB Sean Taylor which can be upgraded to a 93 overall. Taylor is a good user card but will struggle as an off-ball tackler with only 70 tackle. Taylor has 95 speed, 96 acceleration, and 95 play recognition. You can also earn 600 snow and two stockings by completing the solo challenges. We are getting three 94 overall LTDs: Brock Bowers, Myles Garrett, and Ed Reed.
Zero Chill Field Pass
In the Field Pass, you can earn a 91 overall Julio Jones which can be upgraded to a 93 overall using Snow. Jones is earned at level 20 on the field pass and has 95 speed with 93 spec catch while having 94 deep route running. Throughout the Field Pass, you can earn snow and stockings to help get the valuable cards part of this promo. There are also multiple BND player packs as a part of the promo with the highest one being a 90+ overall card.

Season 4
Season four of Madden Ultimate Team dropped yesterday and the theme for this season is “Football is Family”. There is a premium pass for $15 that gives you many rewards but as no money spent players, we are interested in what we can get for free. This season, the cards obtained through the field pass can be upgraded to 94 overall but currently you can only get these cards to 93 overall. Below are the players that we can upgrade through the pass.
- 94 Christian McCaffrey | HB | 49ers, Panthers
- 94 Luke McCaffrey | WR | Commanders
- 94 Ed McCaffrey | WR | Broncos, Giants, 49ers
- 94 Joey Bosa | LOLB | Chargers
- 94 Nick Bosa | LE | 49ers
- 94 Quinnen Williams | DT | Jets
- 94 Quincy Williams | ROLB | Jaguars, Jets
Later in the program, you can achieve 87 Stefon and Trevon Diggs which can be upgraded to 94 overall as well. Out of the cards released in this field pass, I am looking at the Trevon Diggs card with 93 speed at corner, Nick Bosa to address my needs at LE, and Christian McCaffrey in the backfield. Once again you can earn coins, strategy items, player packs, and tickets throughout the field pass like past seasons.
My Current No Money Spent Squad
I finally made the necessary upgrades at RB and QB. We added 92 Christian McCaffrey to the squad and picked up 91 Johnny Football from the auction house to hold it down at QB for the time being. We also fully upgraded 91 Martellus Bennett at tight end while adding 90 Xavier Worthy to the wide receiver room. Defensively the only change I made was upgrading LE to 92 Nick Bosa. This All-Madden Promo should help boost my offensive line while giving me an option at LOLB or SS.
Offense
Strongest Position: RT
Weakest Positions: WR and C
Defense
Strongest Positions: CB, DL, MLB
Weakest Positions: ROLB and Safety
Let me know what you guys are doing to help build your NMS squad this season in Madden 25.
