Madden 25's Season 3 is set to make a big impact, bringing a host of new content and programs designed to keep Ultimate Team players engaged. As always, EA aims to bring fresh and exciting elements to the game, and this season is no exception. Featuring new programs like Most Feared and Angry Runs, plus a fresh Field Pass packed with rewards, Season 3 promises to be an exciting time for Madden players. Here's a detailed breakdown of what to expect from Season 3.
Season 3 Release Date and Overview
Season 3 of Madden 25 will go live on Thursday, October 17, at around 10:30 am ET / 3:30 pm BST. All the new content and features were revealed in the Good Morning Madden stream on October 16, where EA provided a comprehensive preview of the season's offerings. With the NFL season in full swing, EA Sports is looking to capitalize on the excitement, drawing players into Madden's Ultimate Team mode with fresh challenges, new player cards, and intriguing rewards.
The primary focus of Season 3 is to keep the Ultimate Team experience vibrant by introducing various programs and content updates. From the much-anticipated Most Feared program to the fan-favorite Angry Runs, this season is packed with opportunities for players to build their squads and enjoy the game in new ways.
Season 3 Programs
Season 3 comes with a lineup of engaging programs that promise to keep players busy throughout the season:
Most Feared Program
One of the standout additions to Season 3 is the return of the Most Feared program. Known for its Halloween-themed player cards and challenges, Most Feared has been a staple in Madden for years. The program will introduce high-rated cards, a unique currency for completing event-specific challenges, and plenty of opportunities for players to boost their lineups with fearsome players.
The Most Feared cards will be integral to the Season 3 content, including those available through the Field Pass. Players can earn 90 OVR Most Feared cards, with the potential to upgrade them to 91 OVR using Season Tickets, adding an extra incentive to grind through challenges and maximize rewards.
Angry Runs Program
The Angry Runs program is a new addition to Ultimate Team, focusing on powerful, physical running backs and offensive players who thrive in contact-heavy situations. Inspired by NFL Network's popular segment, the Angry Runs program will highlight some of the most dominant runners in the game, featuring cards that excel in breaking tackles and bulldozing defenders.
This program adds a fun twist for players looking to build a hard-hitting offense and fits well with the theme of physicality that Madden often emphasizes. Expect special challenges, new players, and a chance to add some true powerhouses to your Ultimate Team lineup.
Team Diamonds: Potential Mid-Season Addition
While not officially confirmed, there are rumors that Team Diamonds might make their appearance during Season 3. Last year, this fan-favorite program was released on December 1, so a late November or early December drop could likely happen again. Team Diamonds usually feature high-rated cards for each NFL team, highlighting players who may not have been superstars but had a significant impact on their franchise.
Weekly Programs Continue: AKA, Team of the Week, and Legends
In addition to the seasonal programs, AKA, Team of the Week, and Legends will continue to bring weekly content to Ultimate Team throughout Season 3. These programs will ensure a steady stream of new cards and challenges, keeping the game dynamic even between major content drops.
Season 3 Field Pass
One of the core components of Ultimate Team's progression in Season 3 is the new Field Pass, which comes with 45 levels packed with various rewards. Players can earn Madden 25 coins, packs, special player cards, and Season Tickets as they level up through the Field Pass. The Season 3 Field Pass is a key way for players to earn valuable content without spending additional money.
Field Pass Rewards
The rewards available in the Field Pass are closely tied to the Most Feared program, offering a chance to earn unique player cards that can be upgraded as the season progresses. The cards available in the Field Pass include:
Christian Okoye - FB - Chiefs
Levon Kirkland - MLB - Steelers
Brian Dawkins - SS - Eagles
Kyle Vanden Bosch - RE - Titans
Martellus Bennett - TE - Bears
Each of these cards starts at a 90 OVR but can be upgraded to a 91 OVR using Season Tickets, making them competitive additions to any lineup.
Premium Field Pass
Season 3 also introduces a Premium Field Pass option. Unlike many other games where premium passes offer exclusive rewards locked behind a paywall, Madden 25's Premium Field Pass maintains accessibility for all players. There are no exclusive rewards in the Premium version; instead, it allows players to accelerate their progress through the Field Pass by offering additional XP.
However, those who purchase the Premium Field Pass will still need to put in the time to unlock all the rewards—ensuring that gameplay remains the primary path to progress.
Season 3 Challenges
With new programs come a wealth of new challenges in Season 3, providing opportunities for players to earn rewards and test their skills in a variety of gameplay modes. These challenges are particularly beneficial for players who prefer solo play, as they allow them to earn high-rated cards without the pressure of online competition.
Most Feared Challenges
The Most Feared program brings its own set of challenges, rewarding players with exclusive cards and other prizes. Among the rewards are:
85 OVR Grady Jarrett card, upgradeable by winning five Solo Battles.
86 OVR Kenneth Walker III card, earned by winning five Solo Season games.
These challenges are a great way to earn valuable players while engaging in the season's spooky theme. Additionally, the program will likely introduce more challenges over time, offering even more opportunities for players to expand their Ultimate Team rosters.
Angry Runs and Other Challenges
As part of the Angry Runs program, challenges will focus on using players known for their physicality and aggressive playstyle. Completing these challenges can earn unique rewards, adding to the excitement of this new program. Expect to see challenges that reward yards after contact, broken tackles, and big runs that embody the spirit of the program.
A Season of Fresh Opportunities
With the NFL season in full swing, Madden 25 Season 3 comes at the perfect time to bring players back into the game. The combination of Most Feared and Angry Runs offers new ways to enjoy the game, while the Field Pass structure ensures that every player has a chance to earn great rewards through gameplay.
For fans of Ultimate Team, this is shaping up to be a memorable season, packed with opportunities to build an elite squad and take on new challenges. Whether you're grinding through the Field Pass, chasing down Most Feared players, or just looking forward to smashing through defenders in the Angry Runs program, Madden 25 Season 3 is designed to keep things fun and fresh.
