Madden 22: Ghosts of Madden Reveal & Release Date

After being unmentioned during the beginning of Zero Chill in Madden 22 Ultimate Team, we've finally learned that one of the great card types is returning.

Ghosts of Madden has been a fan-favorite for years as the promo celebrates some of the greatest Ultimate Team and Madden players through the years.

This is far from the first time we've seen Ghosts of Madden, as it's been an exciting part of their December promo and programs since all the way back in Madden 15 Ultimate Team.

As such, we've seen the program evolve throughout the years and take on other details like the separations of cards into three categories: Ghosts of Madden Past, Ghosts of Madden Present, and Ghosts of Madden Future.

They tend to follow those natural meanings by highlighting some of the best players the game (football, but also Madden itself) has seen before as well as some of today and tomorrow's standouts.

Ghosts of Madden was confirmed as returning after being mentioned during the latest Good Morning Madden stream, and we know that the bulk of the program and players will be revealed during Good Morning Madden on Tuesday, December 21, 2021 at approximately 10:30am ET.

Following that reveal, Ghosts of Madden will release as part of the Zero Chill promo in Madden 22 Ultimate Team on Wednesday, December 22, 2021 at approximately 10am ET.

Which new Zero Chill players will be chosen for Ghosts of Madden in MUT 22?

With Ghosts of Madden being a staple for so many years, it's hard to look back and pinpoint exactly which classics they might repurpose this year.

First, let's look back at the Ghosts of Madden Future that we saw in recent years, as some of those who proved successful could return in a new Ghosts of Madden Present form.

THE GOAT: Legendary wideout Jerry Rice was a highlight in MUT 21

Back in MUT 19, these four were given Future cards, and they'd definitely be worthy of a Present-day upgrade in MUT 22:

  • Vita Vea (DT) - Tampa Bay Buccaneers
  • Saquon Barkley (HB) - New York Giants
  • Baker Mayfield (QB) - Cleveland Browns
  • Jaire Alexander (CB) - Green Bay Packers

In addition, MUT 20 saw Future cards for the following:

  • Daniel Jones (QB) - New York Giants
  • Nick Bosa (RE) - San Francisco 49ers
  • Josh Jacobs (HB) - Las Vegas Raiders

Finally, there's one Future card from MUT 21 that stands out:

  • D'Andre Swift (HB) - Detroit Lions

All of these players are good bets to return in some capacity, but we're also likely to see some of the classic Ghosts of Madden Past back in MUT 22.

With so many through the years, here are just a few of the legends we could see back in Ghosts of Madden for Zero Chill in Madden 22 Ultimate Team:

  • Michael Vick (QB) - Atlanta Falcons
  • Steve Young (QB) - San Francisco 49ers
  • Michael Strahan (LE) - New York Giants
  • Jerry Rice (WR) - San Francisco 49ers
  • Randy Moss (WR) - Minnesota Vikings
  • Derrick Brooks (ROLB) - Tampa Bay Buccaneers
  • Barry Sanders (HB) - Detroit Lions
  • Brian Dawkins (FS) - Philadelphia Eagles

Ghosts of Madden aren't the only offshoot within Zero Chill this year, and we've got more details here on Stocking Stuffers and how you'll be abe to unlock the new Champions.
