Madden 20 Harvest Promo: How to Get Thanksgiving Day All-Stars & Use Them in the Game
With Thanksgiving a week away, EA unveiled the Madden 20 Harvest promo. It includes a number of aspects including challenges, food collectibles, and Turkey Stuffer players. There was also a group of Thanksgiving Day All-Stars revealed. Here’s how to get them and how they’ll work in the Madden 20 Ultimate Team mode.
Madden 20 Harvest: Who are the Thanksgiving Day All-Star players?
There are six different players available as Thanksgiving Day All-Stars in the Madden 20 Harvest promotion. They’ll all be participating in the NFL games scheduled for Thursday, November 28. The Chicago Bears visit the Detroit Lions in the first game. That’s followed by the Buffalo Bills at the Dallas Cowboys. The New Orleans Saints vs. Atlanta Falcons will conclude the turkey day NFL schedule.
In conjunction with the games, each team has one player in the Madden 20 Harvest Thanksgiving Day All-Stars. The All-Stars on offense include Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley, and Lions’ tight end T.J. Hockenson. For the defense, the Bears’ Roquan Smith, Saints’ Marshon Lattimore, and Bills’ Micah Hyde are the available players.
THANKSGIVING DAY ALL-STARS can be obtained through sets. Each players set will require you to add 3x 86-89 ovr HARVEST players and 2x 82-85 ovr HARVEST players. These sets expire 11/28 at 11am et. Upgrades will happen on 12/3. This is also when they become auctionable/tradeable. pic.twitter.com/U0D3sPbI9q

Each of the players has a 90 OVR card which will upgrade based on Thanksgiving Day game performance. Read on for more details on how to get them and how they will upgrade.
How to get these player cards in Ultimate Team
To get any of the six players available as Thanksgiving Day All-Stars will require building an exchange set. A set consists of five cards. They include any two Harvest Player cards with an 82 to 85 OVR, and any three Harvest player cards with any 86 to 89 OVR.
Gamers can acquire those player cards through packs or the Auction Browser. The 86 to 89 OVR players will be more expensive at auction listings.
It’s also possible to simply buy any or all of these Thanksgiving Day All-Star players through the Auction Browser, for a high price in Madden Coins.
How Thanksgiving Day All-Stars will get upgraded OVRs
Once any of the All-Star players are acquired, they’re ready for your team. These player cards can upgrade by as much as two points, based on Thanksgiving Day NFL performance. Here’s a look at what the six players’ individual goals are, with one upgrade point available per in-game goal:
Dak Prescott 90 OVR
(250+ Passing Yards, 3+ total TDs)
Micah Hyde 90 OVR
(4+ Total Tackles, 1+ Interceptions)
Calvin Ridley 90 OVR
(40+ Receiving Yards, 100+ Receiving Yards)
T.J. Hockenson 90 OVR
(3+ Receptions, 1+ Total TDs)
Roquan Smith 90 OVR
(6+ Total Tackles, 1+ Sacks)
Marshon Lattimore 90 OVR
(1+ Passes Defended, 1+ Interceptions)
That means any of these players could see their overall rating boost from 90 to 91 or 92 OVR. It’s possible all six could see boosts or none at all, but one has to think these guys have great potential for Thursday’s NFL games.
So basically, it could be a matter of choosing wisely in terms of which player to go for based on the goals. Even so, a 90 OVR isn’t a bad addition for specific theme teams based on the Bears, Bills, Cowboys, Lions, Falcons or Saints either.
