The ability to set multiple lineups for your MUT squad highlights the list of changes. Players will now be able to save up to five different lineups.<br /><br />Another change coming in this week's title update is described as "more nuanced roster management," and is also geared towards Ultimate Team. Instead of breaking down roster management by offense, defense and special teams in MUT, the update sorts teams by more specific positions, such as offensive line and defensive secondary. Each roster segment will show your team's starters as well as eligible players on your bench. The Madden team is also adding a boosts screen in this update, which will display every ratings boost equipped to your team.<br /><br />Among the other features being added to MUT are quick collections and the ability to play two minute quarters in the mode. Quick collections reward players that are among the first to finish a card collection in Madden Ultimate Team with special bonuses.<br /><br />"What we're really striving for is aiming these title updates not just at bug fixes, but adding brand-new content so people feel like they're constantly getting a new game experience," an EA rep told Joystiq. Past title updates added server-side <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/09/15/madden-13-gets-server-side-fantasy-drafts/">fantasy drafts</a> and <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/10/03/next-madden-13-update-lands-october-16-adds-career-mode-feature/">player editing</a> in career mode. We've also been told that another announcement is due later this week.
