  • Program Pulls: Judge cards can sometimes be pulled from various programs, including the Jackie Robinson Program and Mini Seasons packs (88+ OVR). Keep an eye on special promotions.
  • Captain Boosts: The Cover Athlete version doubles as a captain for the “Cover Athlete” theme team, giving you team-wide boosts.
