No custom uniforms... shame.

What happens if you never buy new players after their contracts expire? Does the mode implode? lol

You will have contract cards in your packs. You will have to make tough decisions on who to keep and who to let go.

It's not so bad, I enjoy the rush of opening a new pack of cards reminds me of when I was a kid. I will not purchase them from the store though, I refuse to do it.

If I do win a game with my current team, I will celebrate like I just won the Super Bowl. My starting QB is J.T. O'Sullivan and my backup is Jamarcus Russell. My Defense is even worse.

I am going to save up for a silver pack, and see where that leads me.

Yeah I think if you make good decisions through auctions and selling cards, you could make your "ultimate team". I think I don't have a clear enough picture on this mode to make a complete judgment of it yet.

I'm not giving up on it just yet!

My starting QB is Johnny Flynn.



Right now I'm watching a simulation of what would happen if a CFL team played a NFL team.

The feature could've been awesome if they'd just put more effort into it.

Imagine if we had access to:

Quote:

full create-a-team (available in Madden 10) create-a-playbook (available in Madden 09 through Head Coach) challenge a friend (available in every multiplayer game released in the past 5 years) full roster management (available in Madden 10)

But without all that, this mode is just a complete waste of time.

I was lucky enough to get not one but two first overall NFL draft selections in my starter pack... David Carr and Jamarcus Russell. The moves I have done with my team so far using coins I have earned include purchasing a silver pack, the limited edition Jerome Harrison card, and a bronze pack. Pierre Garcon was in the silver pack and I sold him for coins since I prefer to run it or dump passes off to the TE or RB/FB. I have also been selling any extra stadiums, uniforms, or playbooks that I have acquired to replenish my coins. I've used Harrison in one game so far and seems like he is well worth the investment. The opposing defense has been having fits trying to stop him in the open field.

thanks.

I wish that they would have tied the stadium with the uniforms. Looks strange seeing a team with Raiders logos and Unis, playing in Buffalo.
