TIER LADDER

What each tier is worth

Every rung grants the same effects — this ladder changes how much, not what.

MECHANICS

The same at every tier. Madden 27 gives this ability one set of effects and changes how strongly they apply, rather than adding new ones at silver or gold. One of them carries a number, because the tier description says how much. Triggers and shutdowns are shown at every tier because the data does not say which tier gates them — not because the game treats them the same.

The number is the one Max Effort's own description gives at this tier — hover it to see all three rungs. Higher is not always better: where the number is a cost, the low rung is the strong one. Effects with no number are ones Madden 27 describes without ever saying how much.
