Rising Stars Part 1: Jayden Daniels, Kool-Aid McKinstry, LTD Jahmyr Gibbs and more - MUT 25

Part 1 of the Rising Stars Program went live in MUT today, showcasing some of the game's most promising up-and-coming stars. In addition to multiple new 99 OVR player items, Rising Stars includes solo challenges, a Program Field Pass, and a few different ways to earn rewards.

Engaging with the Rising Stars Program will reward Star Power Tokens, which can be used to upgrade specific Rising Stars Reward Players or used in a set. The Tokens can be earned from the Field Pass Rewards (x3 Tokens), Solo Challenge Milestone Rewards (x2 Tokens), Welcome Pack (x1 Token), and by completing 14 days worth of Daily Challenges (x8 Tokens). It is possible we could see more Tokens as rewards in future releases of the program.

Star Power Tokens can be used to upgrade Welcome Pack Cooper DeJean from 93 to 99 OVR, Solo Reward Rome Odunze from 94 to 99 OVR, and Objective Reward Jalen Carter from 97 to 99 OVR. If you do not want to use Star Power Tokens to upgrade reward players, a total of 10 can be exchanged in a set for a 99 OVR Rising Stars Champion instead (limit of 2).

Check out an overview of Part 1 below:
