On the defense, the Tigers include defensive tackle William “Refrigerator” Perry, linebacker Isaiah Simmons, and free safety Brian Dawkins.

The rules are simple for this Superstar KO event which officially started on August 31:
- 4:00 minute quarters
- One foot in bounds when making a play on the ball is considered in-bounds (completes the catch).
- The clock stops after the first downs until the next play is selected.
First Superstar KO reward, historic college rivalry returns online
Along with the Madden 22 Campus Legends event also comes rewards. According to EA’s Madden, the first reward is an Odell Beckham Jr. card with an 85 overall rating. The attributes also include an 88 Speed, 88 Jumping, 81 Catching, and 81 Catch in Traffic. Gamers can unlock this by playing in the Superstar KO mode’s limited-time event.

Also, along with the launch of the new college football promotion, Madden will feature a live online battle between two of the stars involved in it. It features a classic rivalry between USC and Texas at the Rose Bowl with Trojans’ QB Matt Leinhart and Texas’ Vince Young involved.
