Earlier today, EA Sports released Madden Ultimate Team for free to all Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 owners. This all new game mode finds you collecting virtual cards to create the "ultimate team."
Plenty of additional details on Madden Ultimate Team can be found at the official Madden page at EA Sports.
"Card collecting and fantasy football are huge parts of an NFL fan's lifestyle and we took the best of both worlds and combined it with Madden NFL 10," said Jeremy Strauser, Executive Producer for Madden NFL 10 and Madden Ultimate Team. "It's not just about building a team of players, as you have to also manage coaches, injuries, and team chemistry. It doesn’t matter if you’re a hardcore Madden NFL player, a fantasy football fan, or just an NFL fan - Madden Ultimate Team brings something for everyone."
Madden Ultimate Team allows fans to collect up to nine types of cards through, platinum, gold, silver and bronze virtual packs. The customization options are endless as you are responsible for selecting everything from the team playbook to the uniforms. Earn coins to buy new cards or card packs through your performance on the field, acquire new cards through the auction block, or purchase card packs through the in-game store. Collect cards with players from the same pro and college team to get an on-field chemistry boost. Collect rare, legendary player cards to put your team over the top, like the 1999 Vikings Randy Moss and the 1995 Packers Brett Favre player cards. You can even back up Brett with his 2009 Vikings player card. Build a dynasty through weekly online deals or find the final missing piece to your team's puzzle.
