Madden Ultimate Team Fact Sheet, Release Date and "How To" Video

Anyone having a problem getting cards? I've bought a few for the Auction House and they are not showing up in my deck. I bought the Chiefs - Defensive playbook, Coach, uniforms, and stadium. I've got all but the coach.

So you pretty much have to buy coins to compete online right now, huh? If you buys players they will eventually lose their contract and leave your team as well, right?

Yeah, but the players contracts that are bought with real money will run out the same way. They'll have to keep paying if they want to keep those players. The game will always be dominated by those who choose to throw money at it, but I don't see building your team up for free as a totally impossible task. I'm pulling in 200-300 coins a game playing on Pro with a team of total scrubs (and actually having some enjoyable games), and if you're any good unlike me you'll get much more playing on All-Pro or All-Madden.

For me, I think it'll serve as a pretty good time-waster while I wait for the off-season in my Madden Franchise. I'm just playing it for fun - I have no stake in the leaderboard race.

If you have in game money though you can buy gold and legendary contract extention cards to extend the ones you got. But then again 1 legendary contract extention card is auctioning off for between 1,500 and 3,000, yet 1 gold card pack costs 3,000 so it's more worth it to just buy a new gold card pack when you run out of players. But it is nice to extend a really sick legendary card for 12 games with the legendary contract extension.

I got lucky. I bought 1 legendary pack with real world money and got a peyton manning card that then sold in the auction for more than i paid for the pack of cards. Now my team is ridiculous and i still have money left over.

Amen. That didn't work, but I tweeted Ian about it.

Instead of quitting the game just return to dashboard (xbox 360) and it will not count. My very first game against the CPU was against the colts , I was getting killed so I returned to dashboard and changed the difficulty to Pro until I won a few games and improved my team.

I'm guessing on the PS3 you can just press the PS button and quit the game for the same result.

I'm surprised at all the moaning and groaning over starting teams and buyng card packs. My starting team like all others was horrible. I decided to take a look at the card packs and prices. 80 MS points for a Gold pack is not bad at all, what is that in cash $1.00? , hell I could buy 3 0r 4 Gold packs just by cashing in my empty beer cans after a weekend of partying.

Anyway I bought two Gold packs at 80 points each and decided to try out a platinum pack at 240 points. Once I set my depth chart with my new players my team went from an overall rating of a 62 to a 92. So it doesn't cost a fortune to get a killer team, also I bough those 3 packs and in each pack there was a contract extension card. So that helps.

As much as I have bitched about Madden 10, I actually really like this feature.

PS: Ty Law from the Platinum pack is a beast, 94 over all, wicked ball hawk, just got 3 picks in one game. Sure beats playing with the regular Chiefs roster lol. I'm frikkin 12-26 with them.
