Well in Madden you could either buy them (there were different amounts of "points" you could buy).

Or I think you could earn them through winning games. That's one of the main things I hate about this Ultimate Team stuff.

You spend money on these points to buy these players, then once the players contract is about to run out, you gotta buy contract extensions to prolong the life of the card. Then when he retires, you just lost the card you paid for with real money. It's a cash grab to me.

I just wish they'd make Be a GM mode ONLINE, I don't want to pay for cards just to take my custom team online...

Would be cool if everyone played fair and all, but the first time I cheesed/glitched by some kid who just bought every card and upgrade- I'll be done

Didn't even finish watching the video. No thanks. Only thing I care about is offline dynasty.

I didn't play Ultimate team in FIFA or Madden much but I think i'll play it a lot since I love hockey so much.,.

I just wish they didn't allow you to buy points.. it doesn't make it even. at all.

They cant put in a feature thats in Madden, FIFA and NBA Elite but they waste their time putting in this useless junk for free. With NHL2K down for the count there are a load of leagues with nowhere to go and willing to buy the points for an online dynasty.....EA, what in the world are you thinking?

Loved it in FIFA, and I think it'll be even better in NHL.

Okay...a couple questions about Ultimate Team. It says there are monthly seasons. Ok, cool.

Are the seasons a set length? For example, does every team in the 'league' play a set amount of games or what?

Then...are the stats from around the league trackable. Is it possible to see which player is leading the league in goals, etc???

If there is a set amount of games and an organized schedule + viewable league stats, this might be pretty damn cool actually. Also, can there be duplicate players in one league? Can two teams have Sydney Crosby, for example?

Any answers to these quesions would rock. Thanks.

Let me get this straight...

This is what Sean Ramjagsihgn (sp?) siad was the "most addictive mode he's every played."? Really? Come on now.
