One of the most exciting additions to Madden Ultimate Team 27 is the Ultimate Captain. No longer will you be forced to choose from a small group of Team Captains. Instead, in MUT 27, you can select any Core player as your Ultimate Captain! The new system has already raised plenty of questions, so we've answered the most common ones below.
Who can I select for my Ultimate Captain?
Any 70-82 OVR player from the Core program is eligible to be your Ultimate Captain. This includes Core Rookies, Core Uncommons, and Core Elites. All positions are eligible, except long snapper (LS). Sorry to all of the long snapper fans out there; we're sorry you had to find out like this.
How do I select my Ultimate Captain?
Go to the Evolutions menu found under "Marketplace" and select the Ultimate Captain Evolution for free. From there, select one Core player from your binder to designate as your Ultimate Captain.
Can I have more than one Ultimate Captain?
No. There is only one Ultimate Captain Evo available in the Store.
How do I get the Skill Points needed to upgrade my Ultimate Captain?
Skill Points for your Ultimate Captain can be earned by completing objectives. The specific objectives will depend on the Captain you've selected. Your Captain's objectives can be viewed by opening the Upgrades tab and selecting "Earn".
What's the Max OVR I can upgrade my Ultimate Captain to?
The current cap for Ultimate Captain OVR is 83 and will be gradually raised throughout the year. Once any of the player's archetypes reaches the current maximum OVR, you can no longer spend Skill Points on that Ultimate Captain—even if your selected archetype is still below 83.
Can I reroll my Ultimate Captain's attribute upgrades?
Yes. When viewing your Captain, press the right analog stick to reset all upgrades. Resetting your upgrades and rerolling costs 150 Coins per Skill Point spent. For example, if you've upgraded your Ultimate Captain 10 steps for 1 Skill Point each, it will cost 1,500 Coins to reroll your attribute upgrades.
Can Ultimate Captains equip any Team Chemistry?
No. Captains only get Chems for the teams they've actually played for in the regular season or playoffs. They do not get all 32 Team Chemistries, and the All 32 Team Chem Evos available in the Store cannot be "chained," aka combined with other Evos. EA could introduce a Chainable Team Chem Evo in the future, but for now, Captains follow the standard Team Chemistry rules.
Can I change my Ultimate Captain later?
Yes, you can change your Ultimate Captain. Once you've selected the Evolution from the Store and applied it to your first Captain, click RB1/R1 to find your Ultimate Captain under "Active" Evos. Removing your Ultimate Captain Evolution costs 25 Coins, plus any Coin costs required to refund previously spent Skill Points. The Evo will now appear under the "Available" Evos tab and can be applied to a different player.
Does changing Captains transfer Skill Points?
No, it does not. Skill Points are tied to the player that earned them. As long as that player item remains in your binder, Skill Points will still be available if you decide to make that player your Ultimate Captain again. But any new Ultimate Captain will need to earn their own Skill Points.
