Madden NFL 22 Mobile Arena/Uncommon/Rare item Changes
- Uncommon/Rare players only (not Epics) are going to be getting a bump when you Rank the player up, which you do by obtaining multiple versions of that player (not to be confused with leveling up). This is to help you bridge the gap in OVR. We are going to start getting a bunch of Uncommons/Rares coming with the Field Pass, so it will be much more feasible to Rank those guys up. This is retroactive (all current players will get bumped once changes pushed).
- Arena Changes:
-
Added validators to Team OVR matchmaking to hopefully solve the extreme mis-matches.
-
Updating matchmaking to have explicit factors around OVR and not just a weighting score.
-
Removal of the loss penalty for matches before hitting HOF (less than 475 Arena points).
-
Difficulty going from All-Pro before HOF and All-Madden in HOF to Pro before HOF and All-Pro difficulty in HOF (only for Arena I).
-
Restricting higher OVRs from getting into all tournaments. This is going to require a client update and further dev. work to push out, though.
-
-
Other Arena Changes on the Table:
-
Lineup locks where someone with a higher OVR cannot have any players over a certain OVR when trying to enter a "lower" Arena.
-
Take some leaderboard rewards and adding them to milestone rewards.

Edit: just ranked up another player and the new bump worked, when will this go retroactive for players already ranked up before the switch? I also tried leveling up Gronk but that did not work to get the new rank up bonus...
EA is currently investigating why the Rank 2+ Uncommon and Rare player cards were not retroactively bumped.
Still waiting on them to fix this.
