A brand new Madden 19 Ultimate Team event is officially underway and it plays into the theme of the coldest season. That just so happens to be when NFL action heats up as teams are trying to claim their playoff spots. In conjunction with the new Madden 19 Zero Chill event, EA also unveiled a Pro-Bowl receiver and a feared Bears defender as part of the campaign. Here’s more information on the MUT promotion following last month’s Harvest Turkey Bowl.

Madden 19 Zero Chill brings in Ochocinco

The man synonymous with the number 85 in the NFL is former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver, Chad Johnson. He dubbed himself “Ochocinco” at one point and even had the nickname placed on the back of his jersey. He also scorched plenty of defenses during his on-field career. Johnson tallied 10,783 receiving yards and 67 touchdowns during his career, including career-long TDs of 70-plus yards several times.

EA’s Madden Twitter account unveiled a 95 overall Chad Johnson as part of the new “Zero Chill” promotion, as seen in the video below.

What is the Madden 19 Zero Chill Campaign?

The new event is part of the Madden Ultimate Team (MUT) feature within the football game. Gamers will be able to participate in special challenges, gain new items, or other content through this promotion. As of December 7, the new Zero Chill officially launched.
