Matt Franciscovich, Madden NFL 18 Ultimate League (MUL)
The real NFL season might be over but the Madden NFL 18 Ultimate League (MUL) is just starting to heat up. We’re in the midst of the inaugural season (yep, it’s the first ever!), which includes 16 of the absolute best Madden NFL competitors on the planet, split up into two conferences; the Legend Conference and the Elite Conference with competitors going head-to-head every week throughout the 13-week tournament. The league kicked off at Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis and the tournament culminates with the playoffs and finals in Dallas at the NFL Draft in April. And this isn’t just for bragging rights, either. There’s a prize pool of $500,000 with the Madden NFL 18 Ultimate League champion taking home $100k. You can check out a full breakdown of the prize pool distribution here.
