Some holiday changes are coming to Madden Ultimate Team before the new year. In a blog post on the EA forums, Madden 21 Community Manager Kraelo shared some changes coming to MUT before 2021. The update will add four new MUT abilities, as well as make changes to Ability Point costs. The update is expected to drop sometime next week, though that may changed based on how the holidays go.
