Starting MUT Late — What Should I Focus On for Long-Term Value?

Hey everyone,

I’m planning to jump into Madden Ultimate Team now, even though the mode’s been out for a few months. I don’t plan to go all-in right away because I’m still finishing my franchise, but I’d like to start setting myself up for the future.

Basically, I don’t want to waste time grinding short-term content that won’t matter in a couple of months (like sets or challenges that only give an 82 OVR player, for example). Instead, I want to focus on things that will still have value later on — whether that’s building up currency, collecting tokens, or unlocking features that will help down the line when I decide to fully commit.

So for those of you who’ve been playing since launch:

• What are the best things to prioritize right now for long-term progress?
• Are there any solo challenges, objectives, or programs that give rewards that stay relevant throughout the year (like coins, training, tokens, or packs)?
• Anything that’s worth setting up early even if I won’t play competitively yet?

Any tips or “if I could start over, I’d do this first” advice would be awesome. Thanks!

Been playing since launch. I would just do the challenges to get tokens and do anything that can get you a non BND card to sell off. Do the daily stuff for the coins and strategy item. That would net you a nice chunk of coins and free cards for future use. I really dont remember which solos are best but the TOTW, Legends and Collectors Series are the TOKEN ones. Put  at least 2 of the TOTW or Legend or Collectors Series players in your lineup to earn stats for more TOKENS. Plus earn token by doing certain sets every week. Also dont open packs unless you are selling. The odds in alot of non program packs will increase over the season.
