The development team at EA Sports continues its series of unveilings associated with its sports titles by announcing the list of the best players that gamers will be able to recruit and use in the Ultimate Team mode of the new Madden NFL 15.

The company states in the official announcement that "By drawing visual cues and inspiration from real-world trading cards, we created an all-new item that can transform into optimal formats throughout the different features in MUT 15, while delivering more information than ever before."

EA Sports has redesigned the visuals of the mode in order to deliver more information to the player and visual impact has been upgraded, with the studio claiming that gamers will be able to get access to the best-looking premium and elite items that were ever created for the series.

The fifth best players in the Ultimate Team for Madden NFL 15 is Calvin Johnson, who is the highest rated wide receiver, a player who combines speed and strength and can be very dangerous in the hands of the right player.

Adrian Peterson is next up, a well-balanced back who features solid speed and the ability to push through defensive setups and is able to work well with a rush attack in order to score points.

Peyton Manning is improved by the use of a new quarterback accuracy system, with a close to perfect short and middle distance throw making him the best the NFL has to offer in his position.

The second best player in the Ultimate Team mode for Madden NFL 15 is Richard Sherman, able to shut down almost any opposing receiver and put his own team on the offensive quickly.

The star of the game mode will be J.J. Watt and EA Sports states that, "Arguably the best base player at launch, JJ Watt has 96 Block Shedding, 96 Power moves to go along with his 95 Strength. You better send an extra blocker his way or you'll be in for a very long day."

The hierarchy of players in Madden NFL 15 will be changed after the game is launched as the development team at EA Sports introduces update in new packs, in order to give players more options for their teams.

The American football sim will be launched in late August and can be played on the Xbox One from Microsoft, the PlayStation 4 from Sony and latest-gen consoles.
