What is TOTW in Madden Ultimate Team?
TOTW is back in Madden 21, which stands for Team of the Week. Madden Ultimate Team also implements Team of the Year at some point, but Team of the Week is clearly something that happens every week.
Each week EA Sports will choose a team of players who are categorized as Team of the Week players which will then be found in packs that you can purchase in-game with in-game currency or purchase directly if you wish.
In the past, the players chosen for the TOTW were all based on the performance of the previous week. However, Madden 21 changed things up a lot by doing a mix of things. There will now be a collection of players each week which is a mix of modern and legacy.
Legacy cards are both an offensive and defensive Hero card, based on legendary performances from the past. For example, the offensive hero of the first week is Arian Foster, while the defensive player is Bryant Young. There is also a limited TOTW card intended for a player who is still playing in the league, but is based entirely on a breakout performance in the past.
Modern cards are also handled in several ways. There is a specific player of the week based entirely on the action from the previous week that you can collect. From there, EA Sports also selected other top performing players from last week who will be able to increase +1 OVR with a Power Up beyond what they were able to do before. These aren't new exclusive collectible cards, so they won't be as important as the others.
As you step up to Madden 21 every week and head to Madden Ultimate Team, you will also find new challenges for you to participate in that can help you earn new TOTW cards. Some of these are built around earning other TOTW cards and then trading them for others, so getting them all weekly is very helpful.
There's definitely a lot to do with TOTW that will keep you coming back every week, so it's something you'll want to keep doing throughout the year to improve your MUT team all around.
