What is the Green Currency in Madden 23?

The green currency that players are referring to in Madden NFL 23 Ultimate Team mode is Training Points (TP). Training Points are used specifically for upgrading your My Team players by boosting their attributes, unlocking special abilities, and more. Mastering Training Points is key to building a dominant MUT squad.

What Exactly are Training Points in MUT 23?

Training Points (TP) are a special currency in Madden Ultimate Team that lets you improve your player items beyond their base ratings. TP is used to boost players‘ OVR, unlock new tiers of abilities, change positions, and take other actions to mold them into game-changing superstars perfectly suited for your roster.

The TP balance is represented by a green icon in the upper right of the interface, distinguished from the similar blue Points and gold Coins indicators. Hence why some refer to TP as the “green currency” in Madden. But make no mistake – while Points buy cosmetic packs and Coins trade cards on the auction house, Training Points are the true driver behind building a truly dominant MUT team.

How to Earn Training Points in MUT 23

While Training Points can be purchased outright with Coins, savvy MUT players don’t need to spend their precious coin stack to earn TP. Here are the primary ways to organically earn TP:

Solo Challenges & Objectives

The most reliable way to stack up TP is completing solo challenges and objectives. Most of these award 70-150 TP per challenge, scaling up based on difficulty. With well over a thousand juicy challenges to sink your teeth into, that TP adds up fast:

• Regular Season Solo Challenges – 680+ solos award 70-150 TP each
• MUT Dedication Objectives – 200 TP per weekly batch
• New Special Event Challenges – Up to 250 TP on launch

Assuming average 100 TP per solo, completing a mere 20 challenges provides 2,000 TP. Mix in objectives, level-up rewards, and limited events, and a dedicated player can reasonably earn over 5,000 Training Points per week without spending Coins.

Quick Selling Unwanted Cards

Inevitably, some disappointing pack pulls are bound to clog your binder. While an 80 OVR card seems useless, it holds value converted into Training via Quick Sell:

A bundle of 10 unwanted 80 OVR cards nets a tidy 250 TP. Savvy MUT gamers recommend keeping any sub-85 OVR cards specifically to recycle into Training Points on-demand.

Packs & Leveling Rewards

Packs purchased with Coins or Points have TP odds as part of their potential rewards. For example, the GAGP pack guarantees either a 80+ OVR card for Quick Selling or 30-50 TP outright. As packs are always a gamble, solo rewards provide more reliable TP over the long run.

Leveling up your MUT profile also provides TP rewards at each milestone, from 150 TP every 5 levels to 1,100 TP at prestige levels. TP rewards from MUT leveling provide a useful passive boost as you play more games and challenges.

How Much are Training Points Worth in MUT 23?

Determining the real-world value of Training Points isn’t straightforward. As a fully organic, in-game currency, its value relativistic. This depends both on the services of coin-selling sites and opportunity cost of coins spent on TP versus players or other investments.

However, based on community data, a fair market value exists by calculating the TP quicksell value of high-value cards:

• Comparing an 86 OVR Core Elite costing around 18,000 coins with its 120 TP quicksell value implies 150 coins per 1 Training Point
• During deep sales crashes when values plunge, this ratio has exceeded 225-250 coins per 1 TP

Based on this analysis, I value my earned Training around 125-150 coins per TP. This provides enough margin to offset risk when speculating on investments like limited legends that can potentially quintuple in value.

In summary, organic Training should be valued around 100-175 coins per 1 TP depending on market conditions. Use this benchmark when evaluating pack odds or player upgrade costs in terms of TP.

How to Spend Training: Upgrades, Abilities & More

Building a stack of Training Points is only half the battle – you need to know how to spend it wisely too! Here are the two main options along with top players and upgrades I recommend targeting:

Upgrading Power Up Players

The most ubiquitous TP sink is upgrading Power Up players by boosting their OVR and unlocking special ability slots. But which players represent the best values?

Top Power Up Targets

Based on community opinons, these Power Up players provide the most impact per TP invested:

• QB: Lamar Jackson – 93 OVR only costs ~2,000 TP
• WR: Justin Jefferson – Route Technician ability is a must
• Edge: Micah Parsons – His 91 OVR under 2,000 TP is a steal
• CB: Sauce Gardner – Shutdown ability at 90 OVR boosts coverage greatly

I personally run a Chiefs TT roster, so Derrick Thomas and Patrick Mahomes are my top targets.

Ability Slots

These powerful skills that dramatically impact gameplay are also unlocked via Training investment into Ability Slots:

• Route Technician – Precise route running
• Pass Lead Elite – Perfect pass placement
• Edge Threat/Edge Threat Elite – Dominant pass rush
• Acrobat – Incredible user picks

Choose your favorites tailored to your roster, scheme, and playstyle preferences.

Rerolling Training Currency Sets

Feelin’ lucky, punk? A controversial yet popular Training Points sink are the Training Currency sets that provide chances at big pull from packs in exchange for some TP. Generally, I only recommend these upon new content drops when odds are juiced:

• 81+ Zero Chill Pack – 50 TP
• Phenoms Pack – 180 TP
• Legends Pack – 500 TP

I rerolled Phenoms when the likes of Justin Jefferson and Sauce Gardner dropped and managed to pull them spending less than 700 TP combined! But that was lucky – so set limits before jumping in.

Do‘s & Don‘ts: Maximizing Your Training ROI

With so many options and relative value determinations around spending your hard-earned Training, here are my proven do’s and don’ts when it comes investing TP:

DO…

• Spend TP upgrading players certain to retain long-term roster spots
• Save TP for promos rather than marginal upgrades
• Evaluate costs of upgrades against TP Quicksell values
• Track ROI on TP expenditures to improve future decisions

DON’T…

• Reroll packs without a clear exit strategy or TP limit
• Upgrade flavor-of-the-month cards likely soon replaced
• Overspend TP on temporary roster filler type players
• Thoughtlessly quicksell cards best sold for Coins on Auction House

Follow these guidelines and your precious TP will never be wasted – transforming into the devastating red-hot abilities, locked-down coverage, and pinpoint passes that dominate weekend league opponents into oblivion!

Why Training is the REAL Currency Behind Your MUT Squad

While we all enjoy ripping packs fueled by Points, Coins grease the wheels of trading for exciting new player items on the Auction House. But table-stakes entry barriers and unpredictable pull odds means both can be inefficient ways of directly improving your roster.

This is why savvy MUT veterans ultimately rely upon Training Points earned through patient grinding as the true driver in building their Ultimate Team. TP cuts out the middlemen – directly funneled into the players you want becoming overpowered weapons.

Here‘s a tangible example comparing two rosters – one built purely through Coins and Auction House buys versus TP focused on Power Ups:

This clearly showcases the immense strategic benefits of investing in your culture players long-term rather than chasing the latest hotness.

Training Points earned through steady challenges grinding, combined with selectively timed pack openings, provides the resources necessary to elevation difference-makers already on your team to game-wrecking levels. Ultimately outclassing purely coin-bought All-Madden difficulty opponents into oblivion through sheer ability spam!

So while luck pulling that rare LTD card might bring temporary joy, the real long-term success in MUT comes from the green lifeblood of Training Points.

Hopefully this guide has given you increased wisdom into maximizing your TP grinding, spending, and strategizing so that MUT domination awaits! Dismantle more solos, quicksell extra cards, and power those emeralds into the unstoppable abilities that strike fear into your next Weekend League victim!
