Rookie Premier Advice Thread:

I know there has been some confusion surrounding rookie premieres this year so I wanted to start a thread where anyone can read advice for others to read and better approach the rookie premiere program.

I'll start: I went and sniped 48 95s for 30k and under yesterday (this did not take me long at all). I built 12 97s with those 95s and used the 12 97s to build Otto Graham and DRC. While I could go buy out 2 more 99s and make a full rookie premiere, I am taking a different route. I am using Otto and DRC on my team; as I do still play online from time to time. When the next 2 RR champions drop next Thursday I will do the same, also equipping these items in my lineup. I will then be able to play online for another week or so (Yes, I am aware the game is dead). Then, prior to the release of College Football 25 I can build out 1 Free RP and 1 additional RP (somewhere between 2.4 and 2.6 mil).

Hopefully this helps. Feel free to drop any other tips and advice down below to help each other out!

Thanks for this thread!

I've built JC Latham, but I'm pausing on any further acquisitions. Since converting 24 97's to one 99 is insanely expensive, I suspect that the inflated cost of the first two Rookie Premiere sets so far provided (along with the token redemption set) are specifically the sets that will also provide Rookie Premiere items for Madden 25. I suspect there will be other sets with a much lower price tag.

Last year, you could build one Rookie Premiere item from two 98 OVR Redzone Royale items. If you weren't trying to get bargains on the items, they ran around 460k coins each by the end of the program last year.

I don't want to spend all of my coins now, and find out later that I can't afford to build any master set that might become available.
