Hello Madden Fans!
Let’s take a look at Arena and how you can compete to get those great rewards each week. Well take a look at Arena, Unlimited Arena and Arena Tournaments
The basic mode of Arena will have you facing off against AI opponents that are dependent on your current Daily Arena tier (Bronze II, Silver II, Gold I etc). You’ll get 5 matches per day while Daily Arena is active to accrue as many points as you can to increase your position on the leaderboard.
In Daily Arena you’re fighting to gain promotion and avoid relegation. The higher the tier you’re in, the better your rewards will be. Your position and rank will persist between Arena events and rewards will be granted every 3 days.
Unlimited Arena is where the competition really picks up, you’ll be going up against other players' defenses over 3 drives, asynchronously. Unlimited Arena will last either 7 or 5 days depending on if there is an Unlimited Arena Tournament occurring that week. Unlimited Arena occurs every week.
Four lobbies will be available with team total OVR ranges for you to select from. You can play in any lobby as long as your lineup meets the OVR requirements. When you search for a match you could be paired up with anyone in that lobby, you might be favored to win but you could also be the underdog! By scoring points and winning matches, you will increase your overall point total to earn milestone rewards within the lobby.
Arena Tournaments are quite similar to Unlimited Arena, but on a much smaller scale. You’ll be matched against opponents with similar OVR’s and fight to earn points to gain milestone rewards and ultimately qualify for the tournament leaderboard.
However it’s important to note that the points you earn aren’t the total points you earned in a match, it’s the point difference between you and your opponent. Beating them 24-4 will earn you 20 points on the leaderboard and is much better than a close match.
