Thanksgiving week is here! In the Madden
world that means only one thing: Ultimate Team Harvest.
This year’s iteration comes packed with content, including players, sets, challenges and packs and is officially live.
Here is everything you need to know.
Players
The first thing that you’ll notice is when you load up Ultimate Team is you’ll be given a NAT 82 OVR Night Train Lane along with a MUT Tip. However, as you may do with most MUT Tips, DO NOT discard this one. Instead, add it to the Turkey Stuffers set – but more on that later. In all there are a ton of players available.

The Dallas Cowboys’ legend is the best receiver
to date in Madden. 92 speed, 93 jumping, 90 catch, 92 catch in
traffic, 92 spectacular catch, and
excellent route running. You can earn his power up and build up to a truly
dominant receiver.
Night Train Lane (94 OVR)
One of the most revered CBs in history, the
Detroit Lion doesn’t leave you wanting. He’s big, has 91 speed, 93 jumping, 89 play recognition, 88 man coverage, 93 zone coverage and 90 press
coverage. He also has a power up.

MUT Harvest Players

used in sets to unlock the Thanksgiving Day All Stars and Collectibles required
to upgrade the Turkey Stuffers.
Sets

Both Harvest Master sets require 92 OVR versions of all eight Turkey Stuffers, and will reward the Master player, his Power Up and NAT versions of all the Turkey Stuffers.

players and any two 82-85 OVR Harvest players.
To earn a Turkey Stuffer of your choice you need to trade in one gold Harvest
Player. While six gold Harvest Players will earn you all eight Turkey Stuffers.
You can earn all eight Turkey Stuffers by trading in your MUT tip.
