This is the 12th installment of my no-money spent (NMS) series covering the best tips and tricks for navigating Madden 25 Ultimate team without using a credit card. With Season 4 and the second release of the Zero Chill promo in full swing, there are multiple ways to attack the no-money-spent grind. Below are some of the best ways to earn the new 90+ overall cards that just dropped.

Zero Chill
The Zero Chill promo has officially launched in Madden Ultimate Team providing us with nine total player drops throughout the promo. When logging into Ultimate Team you will be rewarded with two players that can be upgraded to 93 overalls. These players include 93 David Njoku and 93 Montez Sweat who are both solid options at their respective positions.
The LTDs we are getting in part two are unbelievably good as they are dropping 94 Tyreek Hill, Isaiah Pola-Mao, and B.J. Hill. Both Tyreek Hill and Pola-Mao have 94 speed making them two of the most valuable cards in the game right away.
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.

Champions
Champions can be earned by exchanging 2x 90-91 overall players and 3 90 overall Zero Chill Heroes. Overall, I think part one of the champions release was better but there are some solid cards that you can earn. Baker Mayfield is a solid option at quarterback with his 95-throwing power. Meanwhile Patrick Surtain II brings size and speed to the corner back position which always holds value.

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: LT and RG
Weakest Positions: QB, WR, C
Defense
Strongest Positions: FS and DL
Weakest Positions: OLB and CB3
Let me know what you guys are doing to help build your NMS squad this season in Madden 25.
