The Gridiron Guardians have returned to fight crime in the streets of Madden Ultimate Team 25. For those unfamiliar with the program, Gridiron Guardians' theme is Madden's version of superheroes with superpowers. Part 1 of 2 was revealed on GMM this morning and is targeted to go live later this afternoon (10/3).
The program consists of 24x new player items, Gridiron Guardians Program Chemistry with temporary boosts, sets, challenges, a Field Pass, and a limited-time H2H House Rules Event called Super Plays. Check out a preview of everything below:
