EA has posted an overview blog on Madden Ultimate Team for Madden NFL 17. Alternate uniforms (including rarely seen CFM relocation uniforms) and trade block are making their return with H2H Unlimited Events replacing H2H Seasons.

H2H Unlimited Events has replaced H2H Seasons in Madden Ultimate Team. This will be the place to go when you want to play against another human opponent with anyone in your lineup with no restrictions. Playing in H2H Unlimited Events does put you in MUT’s Event structure but does not cost a ticket to play. The Event structure for H2H Unlimited Events does vary from Draft Champions Ranked and Salary Cap Ranked as you will have the opportunity to earn 10 wins before reaching 2 losses.
H2H Unlimited Events also comes with a new leaderboard that takes a more competitive rank approach instead of how many coins you have earned in the mode. Additionally, the leaderboard displays what tier (Rookie 1st String, Pro 2nd String, etc.) you are in based on your performance. Lastly, by utilizing our Event structure we get vastly improved matchmaking.
Online play for me is no good being in Australia. Something that I don't understand with Madden, the lag to Australia is terrible, yet games like Call of Duty have no issues. Must be an EA thing.
