New Madden Playoffs Legends Champ Bailey, Terrell Owens
Earlier today, we also showed the new Madden 20 Legends players. For the playoffs promotion, there are two Madden 20 Legends of the Playoffs. Former Denver Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey and San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Terrell Owens each have new 96 OVR items for Ultimate Team.
To get the Bailey item you need to put together a set of any three AFC Playoffs Heroes. There were the first Madden Playoffs players we showed Friday night. They are Travis Kelce, Ronnie Stanley, Tremaine Edmunds, Deshaun Watson, Kevin Byard, and Stephen Gilmore.
To get the Owens item, you’ll need a set of any three NFC Playoffs Heroes. They are Dee Ford, Davante Adams, Brandon Brooks, Marshawn Lynch, Danielle Hunter, and Drew Brees.
Upon completing either set, gamers get the Legends of the Playoffs Master, Power Up item, and a Fantasy Pack. That pack contains a choice of three of the NAT Playoffs Heroes from that conference.
Gamers can get Playoffs Heroes sets by assembling that Heroes’ set of non-Heroes player items. For example, to get Drew Brees requires Demario Davis, Erik McCoy, Vonn Bell, Eli Apple, Andrus Peat, and Chauncey Gardner-Johnson. DeShaun Watson requires a set of Kenny Stills, Jonathan Joseph, Zach Cunningham, Nick Martin, Max Scharping, and Jordan Atkins.

In addition to the regular playoffs players, Heroes, and Legends, there are brand new Madden 20 NFL Playoffs Ultimate Challenges. There’s a total of 24 challenges as part of this with Stars and Coins up for grabs. However, achieving a total of 108 Stars will earn a NAT 89 OVR Madden 20 Playoffs player.
