How to earn Rookie Premiere Collectibles
In order to acquire Madden 21 Rookie Premiere players, gamers can acquire a new currency called Endorsements in Ultimate Team. Endorsements can be used to get Rookie Premiere Collectibles. Gamers need 10 RP Collectibles for an exchange set to acquire one of the Rookie Premiere Offensive or Defensive Masters.
The slide presented during Thursday’s Twitch stream (below) shows all of the ways to earn Rookie Premiere Collectibles in Madden 21.
Change coming with Madden 22 RP cards
A noteworthy change will be coming for the program in Madden 22. With Madden 21, gamers who earned Rookie Premiere players from M20 had dynamic player items for Ultimate Team rosters. Basically, as the rookie player did well over the NFL season, or various promotions arrived, EA upgraded the cards’ ratings in-game.
That won’t be the case with Madden 22 as they felt those cards were unusable for many gamers early in the season. Instead, gamers will start with a higher overall Rookie Premiere player for Madden 22. So that means RP items won’t change or update as the season moves along.
However, gamers will choose how to use their Rookie Premiere collectibles when they first log into Madden 22. See details shown in the slide below, revealed during the Twitch stream.
