There are a lot of perks available in Madden 19 Ultimate Team if you know what they are and how to capitalize on them. These perks can help you advance your team and progress faster, making you a contender more quickly. One of these many perks is Sets. Madden Ultimate Team offers several different ways to acquire new items and subsequently, improve your team, which is the end goal for most gamers. Sets are often the way to do so. MUT sets are one of the biggest draws associated with Madden Ultimate Team. Many players remark that they are their favorite part of the game and with good reason. Completing a set can give you rewards such as players, coaches, coins, badges, playbooks, stadiums, or uniforms.
Sets are often the only way to acquire certain special edition items and they double as the best way to get rid of items you no longer need or want. A set is a very specific item list that can be acquired throughout MUT. They can require items that are found in either bundles or packs as well as rewards for playing and winning solo challenges, completing other sets, or playing Seasons games. There are several different sets available, including the Earn Badges Set.
If you haven’t been involved with Madden for too long, you might not be aware of what a badge is at all. They are an item that can be utilized when needing to add to existing sets to earn rewards to trade for players. All of this makes them a valuable commodity in MUT. Badges come in 4 different types, like how players are divided up. MUT badges are available in Bronze, Silver, Gold and Elite and based on their level, they are worth different amounts. You can earn badges through other sets, packs, and auctions.
With the Earned Badges set, the name says it all. The point of this set is to help you earn badges. Within this set, there are a total of 8 sub-sets including the Bronze badge upgrade, silver badge upgrade, gold badge upgrade, bronze player trade-in, silver player trade-in, gold player trade-in, giveaway item trade-in, and the team item trade-in.
The bronze badge upgrade is very straightforward. If you add 5 bronze badges, you receive 1 silver badge. With the silver badge upgrade, if you add 5 silver badges, you get one gold badge. For the gold badge upgrade, the formula is the same as the previous two. If you add 5 gold badges, you get 1 elite badge.
For the bronze player trade-in, the formula is different. In this set, you have to add any 9 bronze level players and you will receive a 1-badge pack. That badge could be of any quality but the most common badge is the bronze badge so you are likely to receive a bronze badge if you were guessing based solely on odds. The silver player trade-in requires that you add any 7 silver level players to earn a 5 -badge pack. Similar to the bronze player trade-in, you could get any quality of badges or mix of them. For the gold player trade-in player, you must add 5 gold level players and you earn a 10-badge pack. Again, those badges could be of any quality or any combination. For the giveaway item trade-in, you are allowed to add the giveaway players even if they have already expired. So, new gamers might not know what that means. Every gamer gets an elite level player from EA at the start of every week but that player is only available for a limited time, typically a certain number of games. This set lets you add them even if they have already expired. If you add 5 of them, you get the 5-badge pack, which could consist of any badge quality. And finally, if you trade in any 15 team items you earn a 2-badge pack under the team item trade-in. Examples of the items you could trade in would be stadiums, playbooks, coaches, or uniforms.
This Madden Guide to sets and badges is just a start if you are a new player to Madden Ultimate Team but one of the best features of MUT is the use of sets. Without them, you often will not be able to acquire some of the special edition items available. If you want to build your best team and have as many options as possible, you need sets and badges to do so. Badges help you trade for the players you know and sets help you earn rewards with only serves to get you a better team faster. And the final goal is to build the best team you can to help you dominate your competitors in Madden Ultimate Team.
