It’s the absolute worst to be promised rewards by a developer, just to have them not show up. Recently, players have reported that the S1 XP Boost and Alumni players are missing from Madden NFL 25. Here are ways you can fix this issue.
How to fix S1 XP Boost missing in Madden 25
While there is no guaranteed fix to get the S1 XP Boost in Madden 25, players have had some success by continuously restarting the game until it appears. This confirmation comes from a community manager on the EA Answers website, who mentions logging in and out can help more rewards to appear. He also says “Give it some time and keep checking.”
In other words, if logging in and out doesn’t work for you, then the next step is to sit back and wait. This is a huge frustration, but honestly, not a surprise since EA is known to have issues with their games at launch. Spend your time elsewhere such as mastering the RPO or selecting the best pre-order MUT players.

If the Ultimate Alumni players aren’t appearing for you in Madden 25, there is one possible way to fix it. You may be able to force the game to give you the Ultimate Alumni players by returning to College Football 25 and completing all Ultimate Alumni challenges. Doing so seems to force Madden 25 to register that you have earned the Ultimate Alumni player rewards, making them appear.
In the comment section of the YouTube video by GmiasWorld, players have reported that this method worked for them. Keep in mind, though, that some players have stated the opposite. It seems like a 50/50 chance, so it’s definitely worth a try.
As of right now, these are the only known fixes for S1 XP Boost and Alumni players missing in Madden 25. If none of these methods have worked for you, your last resort is to wait until EA gets it together and fixes the issue. Recently the official MaddenNFLDirect account on X posted that the rewards are having a very slow rollout. You can check out the post below.
That’s all there is to know about this unfortunate issue in Madden 25. As you wait for the rewards to appear in your Ultimate Team, check out our guide on the best difficulty settings and sliders. Adjusting sliders can create a more realistic and fun experience.
