    Madden Ultimate Team Hands-On Preview

    EA Sports is bringing Madden fans a free mode for Madden NFL 10, called Madden Ultimate Team. In this mode, you will be in charge of assembling your very own Ultimate Team to play against the AI or take it online and battle it out on the digital gridiron.

    When competing against other teams, you earn coins, based on how well you do in the game. With these coins, you can buy new cards and upgrade your team, via packs of cards, bidding in the auction block or getting a rare card in the weekly deal. You have a limit of 100 total cards and 55 player cards, going over that limit requires you to discard some of them.

    This looks pretty cool but it sounds like you can't choose what Playbooks you want to run with.

        Any confirmation on if this is played online versus other owners? Are there leaderboards or tournaments for this mode? I noticed you only played offline matches and I hadn't read anything regarding online play and this mode.

            Yes, you can play online versus other owners. I don't see anyone online via my XDK friends list, so I haven't tried, but I know it's in there.

            Leaderboards yes.

              Yee Haw! I'm pumped to get to work building my themed squads. First up... power run and 4-3 man D since i don't get to run these with the Steelers.

                Can you explain how playbooks are assigned? Are they team based, and certain teams playbooks are available through a card deck? If so, how long are they available?

                    Yes, playbooks come in card packs. They do not expire. I started with the Rams defensive playbook, but now run with the Jags, as I got them in a pack. They do not expire.

                    Offensively, I have a run balanced offense. Haven't received anything other than that. So, not sure if you can get team playbooks on the offensive side of the ball or not.

                            I haven't seen any on the auction block, but I can put them on there, so I'm sure there will be plenty to buy once people start playing.
