The most obvious path is to buy the G.O.A.T. edition of the game, which costs $20 more and offers the ability to choose of one of five legends (Tom Brady, Barry Sanders, Jerry Rice, Ray Lewis, Deion Sanders), an “Elite” player from a pool of 32 representing every team and 12 Squad Packs to open.

The promotion for Madden NFL 18 will provide 25 legend cards over the course of the season and collectibles, which are used to increase player ratings. The legends will begin at 83 Overall but can be boosted to 90 Overall by applying four collectibles.
Reggie White is the first card to go out and at a higher rating of 85 — he’ll be added to the team almost immediately after sign-up. The remaining legends will be revealed weekly and then delivered to accounts on Saturdays. Five upgrade collectibles accompany White in the first pack, but afterwards there will be only one per week.
