Should You Spend Snow Now, or Wait Until the Training Conversion Tomorrow? The Best Way to Maximize Coins/Training, Explained!

Posts: 1819

In order to get the best deal for converting to snow (10-1 ratio), you want to either spend snow or quicksell zero chill players for snow to hold until conversion to get more training. However, you’re not sure which you should do and what the best w…

is mike vick hb actaully good? is he better than alvin?

Yes, he's pretty good. Only thing that's not is that carrying. If you run on conservative, he's great for you. If you don't you may want to look into other backs such as Roger Craig, Ricky Williams, Bo Jackson, Kamara, Vita Vea, Blount and more

Made a LOT of coins by doing sets, getting ornaments and converting to auctionable players and selling, and doing solos. I was able to pick up quite a few GOM players for my theme team as well, and picked up Simmons and Henry under 300k!

Any recommendations? Lots of people use acrobat.

If you are on next gen, acrobat. If not, pick artist is really good, and you drop way less INTs. I also like to put mid zone ko on my cornerbacks that usually play the flats and set my flats to 10. Now, since they have midzone, they will cover basic…

Champion Bailey

Demaryius Thomas

NEED a Champ, but hopefully he's a higher overall and endgame, considering that the Broncos are set at corner for a while

Personally I am hoping for a Jerry Rice upgrade, and a Jimmie Ward one as well (if the 49ers end up making the playoffs!) as Ward is still stuck on his core elite 81! Who do you want to see? Looking like a lot of Cowboys lol. Enjoy your night guys

Snow to training

Every 10 snow will turn into 1 training.
“Hey MUT Fans!
Snow will be converting to Training on January 5th at the rate of 10 Snow = 1 Training.”

...that I've found are GOM sets. You can sell certain ones for around 400k (most of them but Vernon Davis is almost always profit) and build the set for cheap if you snipe the 93s around 140-145k, and the 89 around 30k, you’ll be able to build it fo…

Looking for some ablities for the d line, specificially 1 and 2 ap ones. Haven't found any that have stuck yet.

Inside stuff on Run Stopper DTs for 1 AP! I run it on Vince Wilfork, amd my brother runs it on Brandon Williams, and both are great! In Nickel 2-4-5, normal, and big nickel formations, 2 inside stuffs work very well. You can't run on them!

TL;DR

For those who don't want to read everything, here's your goal:

  • You want 2x Rare Deep Route Specialist (offense) and 2x Rare In The Zone (defense)
  • You need all of your strategy items to have a +SPD boost
  • In order for the +SPD boosts to stack, the Strategy Items can't be identical. They must have one boost that's different.
  • You need to fully upgrade Strategy Items using Training for all of their boosts to be active
  • You can buy random Strategy Items in the store for 5,000 coins each
  • You can upgrade and reroll Strategy Items through Exchange sets

Overview

Strategy Items are a new to Madden 22 and they're an important aspect of Madden Ultimate Team that you need to know about. It's a complicated system, but you don't need to fully understand it to get the most out of it. My goal is to outline what you need to know to get the most out of Strategy Items. There is definitely more information about Strategy Items that I didn't cover, so if you have a question, leave a reply and I'll get back to you.

What are Strategy Items?

Strategy Items are new type of MUT item in Madden 22. You equip them in your lineup on the Strategy tab. They use the existing Chemistry system to provide ratings boosts to your lineup. They can target a single position (ex. Deep Route Specialist targets WRs) or mulitple positions (ex. In The Zone targets all DBs, so CB, FS, and SS). You can find the full list of the standard Strategy Items here, but as I'll cover, you only need to pay attention to a few of them.

Which Strategy Items should I use?

I wish I had an interesting answer here, but EA didn't do the best job of balancing the Strategy Items. There are two that are significantly better than the rest. On offense you want to use two Rare (blue) Deep Route Specialist and on defense you want two Rare (blue) In The Zone. This is because speed is king in Madden, expecially at WR and CB/FS/SS. Deep Route Specialist and In The Zone can give +2 SPD to all of your WRs and DBs respectively. That might not sound like a big boost, but I promise you that it makes a huge difference.

What are Strategy Item Tiers?

Strategy Items come in three tiers (so far). There are Common (gray), Uncommon (green), and Rare (blue) Strategy Items. Common Strategy Items boost three ratings, Uncommon boost four, and Rare boost five. Only Rare Strategy Items can boost SPD, which means these are the only ones you should be using.

How do I upgrade Strategy Items?

Upgrading Strategy Items essentially is powering them up to activate their boosts. This has nothing to do with their Tier. In order to get all of the boosts listed on a Rare Strategy Item, you need to upgrade it using Training. This is done the same way you upgrade a Power Up player from the Upgrades tab on the item.

How do I get the Strategy Items I want?

The most frustrating part of Strategy Items is that they can't be auctioned or traded, which means you have to be persistent or get really lucky to get the ones you want. You can earn a free random Strategy Item each day by completing three Ultimate Season daily objectives. You can also buy a random Strategy Item from the store for 5,000 coins under the Players tab. The problem is that these are almost always Common, so it will take some effort to turn them into the Rare Strategy Items you're looking for.

The next step is to use the Strategy Item Exchange sets to turn Commons into Uncommons and Rares. You can turn 8 Commons into an Uncommon, 5 Uncommons into a Rare, or 40 Commons into a Rare directly. You're unlikely to get the exact Rare Strategy Items you want from these sets, so your next step is to reroll Rares. You can exchange any two Rare Strategy Items for a fantasy pack containing 10x Rare offense or defense Strategy Items. You have to keep repeating this process until you get the ones you're looking for (2x Deep Route Specialist and 2x In The Zone).

Yes, this is a tedious process that can burn through a lot of coins. Unfortunately there's no better way and having the best Strategy Items gives you a huge advantage over teams that do not have them.

Can I use two of the same Strategy Item?

Yes, but there's a catch. Because Strategy Items are built on top of the existing Chemistry system, boosts stack in a weird way. You can use two of the same Strategy Item, as long as they're not completely identical. You need one rating boost to be different. This will allow the +SPD boost on each item to stack (this is really the only thing we care about). For example, I am currently using 2x In The Zone on defense. Both of them have the same core boosts (ZCV, PRC, and AWR). One of them has SPD and MCV as its extra boosts and the other has SPD and TAK. This allows the SPD boosts on each to both count, resulting in +2 SPD to all of my secondary.

Awesome! Thank you Rocketz!
