Madden has been a huge part of my life for a long time now. I started playing seriously as a teenager back in Madden 06 when I would grind the online head-to-head leaderboards, fighting for a top-100 spot. I launched my first Madden strategy website in 2010 where I created free guides and organized community tournaments. In 2011, I started playing Madden Ultimate Team and launched a MUT website that would grow to reach millions of Madden players every month.
I have enjoyed just about every minute of it and I’m very grateful for all of the support I’ve had from the Madden community over the years.
Back in February, I left my previous role to take on new challenges and get back to what I enjoy most: building tools and community resources to help people get more out of the games they love.
It didn’t take long for me to find my way back to Madden. Over the past couple of months, I’ve had a lot more time on my hands than I was used to. I teamed up with some of the most amazing developers I’ve worked with over the years to create a few tools that I feel will immediately bring value to the Madden community.
Theme Teams
I started with Theme Teams. Theme Teams have become extremely important in Madden Ultimate Team and for years our community has depended on a few amazing members that have taken the time to update lists for all 32 NFL teams. They deserve a ton of credit for all of the manual work they put in.
I challenged myself to find a way to automate this and I created theme team depth charts for all 32 NFL teams. These are updated daily as new players are released into Madden Ultimate Team. I’m sure there will be some mistakes, but I’m reasonably confident in the accuracy so far and I’ll continue working to make sure they’re always correctly updated.
Additionally, if you want to see options beyond the few that show on the depth charts, I added team chemistry filters on the player list so that you can see every player that can equip a team’s chemistry.
Abilities
Abilities were next on my list. With how critical abilities are to Madden 21 gameplay, the community needs a way to search for players by abilities and their AP cost. I added that to the player list to help you find the perfect player for your lineup.
I’m not done with abilities, and I’ll be adding more content around them in the coming weeks and months.
What’s Next?
If you’re still playing Madden Ultimate Team in April, I built MUT.GG for you. While I have a lot planned to add to the site, I’m definitely open to your feedback. If there’s something you feel the Madden community desperately needs, let me know.
The best way to get in touch is our community Discord. My username is Rocketz#0001. Feel free to tag me with your suggestion and if it’s possible, I’ll do my best to make it happen.
