Madden NFL 16 adds Draft Champions Ranked mode
Draft Champions was one of the major new additions for the simulation, and it seems that a solid chunk of the player base has adopted it since August.
The new version is designed to be more competitive, with gamers asked to spend resources to take part and with the development team offering some solid rewards for those who perform well.
Draft Champions Ranked will ask gamers to use three tickets to take part, which will cost 9,000 coins, but it can also be obtained by simply playing various experiences included in Madden NFL 16, like solo challenges.
Gamers need to win six matches in the mode to win it and are booted out if they lose two of them.
Those who manage to get to the end of the experience will get access to 1 Legends Pack, 15 Quicksell pack, and 7 DC Badges, which can be used to boost the Ultimate Team of any gamer.
The lowest reward for Draft Champions Ranked is one Pro Pack and one Rookie Pack for those who fail to win any matches.
EA Sports has not said whether it plans to create bigger tournaments around the new experience.
The company might be interested in adding more new modes to Madden NFL 16 in future content updates.
When 2016 rolls around the studio will also use the engine of its American football sim to predict the winner of the Super Bowl and will then roll out a major revamp for all player ratings based on their seasonal performance.
