The UL grind (Math and stuff)

I did some searching and didn't see anyone posting about this so I thought I would. This will mainly focus on the shields

Quick highlight - UL is grindable and you should be able to get 1 UL per week for about 560k*.

I can't exactly remember the 1st win rewards so those will skew the following but I'm pretty sure we all got 2 shields from it?

What it takes for one UL: 6 player trophies (more on that in a minute) + 80 shields, or 4,000 badges and 4,000 emblems.  I've been grinding and on average I'm getting about 20 per play on either of these (sometimes 18, sometimes 24).  With that, you will need to grind a badge event and an emblem event 200 times each, so 400 plays total.  Each play is 10 tickets so 4,000 tickets are needed.  

UL Tickets: Free Tickets - 40 every 8 hours, or 120 per day, or 840 per week (I know you need to sleep but you can claim most of these)

 "Collectibles" tab on the bottom of the event screen.

Bump for weekend and new legends.

Good info...

What is the UL master set trade in availability? Ive heard anywhere from “you can get any UL master until reset” to “each  week you can only get that weeks set”?!?

Anyone know for sure?

great breakdown, thanks

How many days does it take to grind one?

Great write up!  Buyers the 89’s make sense.  

How do you earn badges?  

Edit LOL NVM I see two events are badges and two are emblems.  They really make you work at this!

This is an excellent write up!  Honor coming your way!

Ed Reed is staring at me like, "pick me bruh!"

I agree. UL is totally grindable with very little investment.

The highest part is to spam UL live events. If EA makes the live events takes 100 UL tokens and gives out 160-240 badges/emblems and upper the elite pull rate by 10 times. This will take one-tenth of the time.

Saving this for tomorrow once TOTY ends.

Appreciate the write-up

Now only need to fix their stats and we are good to go

I have pulled 10 or so 89 UL, two 91 legends and about 5 elite 2 legends since UL started. I have my trophies and I have 65 shields. The beginning of UL has been good to me.

Thanks!  Between the end of TOTY push and combine I hadn't even begun to look at UL.

Quote from Kvh_1fan >> Quote from Dbzfan614 >> This is spot on. My calculation put me around 900k per UL. You don’t need to buy diamond players at all. You can buy the 89 UL from ah at an avg price of 80k. This means you can get 6 trophies for 480k or so. Plus whatever you spend on the coin pack for tickets and you can even bring down the cost if you do 3 coin & 3 bt exchanges daily (like you said we gotta sleep). You can recoup at least 1k blitz from the 4 hr od pack.

I don't see where to do this.  I have a bunch of D1's that I can trade in for Diamond trophies, but I don't see where I can exchange them for the 89 UL? 

 Under the Madden Daily UL section, click the Elite Sets (Red man logo).  Scroll to the right and there is an exchange for a random 89 ovr UL player for 1 diamond trophy.
