Madden CFM League Player Upgrades
3 min readMay 15, 2021
It’s not uncommon to find Madden CFM League Commissioners giving out performance incentives to their league members via distributing attributes to the players on their teams. It’s a great way to engage with your league members and to keep the league competitive. This document list examples of attribute upgrades that existed and I feel should have existed in previously leagues I’ve attended.
Any rewarded upgrade can be split between multiple attributes if multiple attributes are listed. No attributed upgrade can be applied for any current attribute that already reached 95 or higher.
Note: Unless explicitly stated, the following attributes are not eligible for reward distribution: Speed, Acceleration, Change of Direction and Agility.
