    Madden Ultimate Team - Salary Cap Ranked Beta Coming Soon to Madden NFL 16


    In the coming weeks, EA Sports will release another update for Madden NFL 16, introducing a brand new mode to Madden Ultimate Team - Salary Cap Ranked Beta.

    Salary Cap Ranked Beta is not just a new game mode, it’s a fundamental change that is felt throughout the entire Madden Ultimate Team experience by assigning a Cap Value to every player and redefining how to assemble a lineup. This is being referred to as a “Beta” because of the size of the feature and the timing of when we're releasing it. When we ran the Madden Challenge on Draft Champions Ranked, we heard your voices. It was clear that there was a major appetite to support competitive games in the Madden Ultimate Team structure. We asked our Continuous Development Team if we could develop Salary Cap Ranked in time to release it during the Madden NFL 16 cycle. The answer was a resounding “yes, we can.” The word “Beta” certainly does not reflect the quality of the feature. However we are anxious to hear what you think and what kind of improvements you would like to see in the future.

    Before we go any further, I do want to make it clear that the traditional way of playing MUT has not changed or been excluded. You can still play with the full lineups that you are accustomed to in Solo Challenges and Seasons H2H play. Salary Cap Ranked Beta is simply a new test of mastery as you’ll need to be equally as skilled with building your lineup as you are with playing with them on the field.

    The initial statement has me concerned.

    So no more teams with all 99 OVR ratings?

    Wonder if this is also a part of potentially revealing a new player rating system for M17, where we will see fewer players bunched at the top of the rating scale to help differentiate between good and great players?

          is it just me, or does this seem like EA is trying to figure out a way to get those who dont like MUT due to it being basically a lobby ball 2h2 area with bought teams , mainly CFM heads, to try n get them into playing MUT?
          Yup, i said it !

            After reading the article, I believe this is going to be a very fun game mode; looking forward to playing...I also like how the Salary cap for each player could offer another means to quickly judge a player's ability.

              It's a great idea because somebody like me who never goes into a random game might try it.

              Next they would have to eliminate the game exploits.

                would be better if they put that much focus into improving CFM though, thats the issue i have here. Putting more and more time into MUT, hoping more will spend money in it..... If CFM mode was good , id think about trying this out, but until then , MUT still on ban for me.

                  My "might try" is about a 5% chance...

                  I'm still a CFM guy. If they burned MUT to the ground I'd be happy.

                    But then there'd be no where to spend your extra cash....

                        Sorry to disappoint your cynic.

                        Once the new Salary Cap Beta Title Update is released, you will notice every player item in Madden Ultimate Team now has a new number on the front of the item. This is what we’re calling the player’s “Cap Value” and that is simply to convey how powerful that particular item is in Madden Ultimate Team.
                        Instead of selecting players from a 15-round Draft Pool, you’ll be using Player Items from your Item Binder to assemble a 34-man lineup and the sum of those 34 player’s Cap Value cannot exceed a 1000 point Cap Total.
                        I guess my only question is - what kind of a team can you build with 1000 points? Or, asked another way - how much is each tier of players worth in cap points? Given that you only have to fill 34 lineup slots, it seems like these would still be some pretty stacked teams.

                            Oh but dont you see, this is a MUT just for people like you to try out. Come to the dark side and just try it out. Soon you too will be spending more money with us.Then maybe we can get enough away from CFM we can make this the new CFM base...

                              As long as there are casual players who just want to take their favorite team through the current season and win the Super Bowl - and there are plenty - Franchise as we know it isn't going anywhere.

                              It's perfectly okay if there are other modes in the game to bring more people under the giant tent that is the Madden audience.
