I have seen that people got some draft day packs from playing draft mode. What are those packs? Will there be card releases during the draft? Will they be only available through these packs?
I'm so confused

Tonight draft cards drop live(20 minute delay usually)as players are drafted and those packs have those cards.
Idk the exact details, I didn't see EA post anything. But there's the event going on where you can ear the 97 overall players pack, the 98 overall players pack, and/or the 99 overall. Pretty sure we'll have sets for them also, I thought I saw something about 6 x 96 overall players for the sets to be completed.
But outside of that, usually EA is going to roll these out tonight. They usually start dropping withi about a half hour of the player being drafted, they'll start to appear in game (packs/sets/rolls). Then tomorrow or next week they'll probably consider dropping a handful more as the draft finishes it's 3 day cycle, and they'll drop a few handpicked cards (i.e., say Jeanty doesn't get drafted randomly until day 3, they'd probably make it a point to add a card for him based on what he accomplished in college this year, even if it was only a mid level elite card, because EA knows certain names will sell packs, even if they give him a lower overall).

Using Jeanty as a day 3 pick example is wild😂. I got a laugh from that example because no shot he drops out of the first round

Oh, 100% agree. Just picked a top name to highlight how EA handles these. Look back to past years and you'll see that they'll still give guys who had great college careers but got drafted low a card based on name. Jeanty is a recognizable name, and if he dropped you can guarantee EA would still give him a card, which is why I used him as an example.

Yeah, the QB's that are getting 1st round rise or fall hype (this year it's Sanders, Dart, Milroe) will be those 2nd tier NFL Draft cards that can go amywhere from #10 overall to 30th to top of 2nd round Day 2, but EA probably made cards for them months ago based off of Feb. draftnik mocks, not mid April.

Exactly. If it's a known name they'll do what they can to start cashing in on Madden today. Got their CUT profits already, now let's get their MUT profits.
