Madden NFL 23's Ultimate Team Game Mode received new content this week. This week marks the fourth release for both Golden Ticket, while the annual release of the Fan Appreciation program dropped as well.
For those who don't know, the Golden Ticket program happens with each Madden NFL release. The players who are released are chosen by Madden community members. The only requirement is that players have to already be in MUT, so brand new player cards can't be created.
EA Sports MUT has already released the list of players who will now or later be a part of Golden Ticket.

What's Next?
With only two months remaining, this may be one of the last updates that MUT receives for Madden NFL 23. There's still a few more players who have to join the Golden Ticket Release, and there may be more packs the devs have in store. We'll likely get the next Golden Ticket release next week.
It seems that for Madden NFL 23, the only real updates now will be for Ultimate Team. The developers are likely more focused on the development and release of Madden NFL 24, which is set to drop in August. To keep up with Madden NFL and other sports video games, visit ClutchPoints Gaming.
