Yes, playing on All-Madden earns you more coins than playing on Rookie.

Quarter length does not matter.

Josh, is there anyway to know if someone paid for their coins or played there way to a better team the fair way?

What started out as a promising new addictive feature has been ruined by the availability to purchase packs.

While I certainly understand why you can purchase cards (almost all card collecting games are like this), I agree with you. How awesome it would it be if you got your points/cards only by playing the game?

I agree with the person above that there should at least be some small incentive (like a badge or label) to earning your points. I don't see this happening though since EA wants you to buy them.

This is a really cool concept though.

Since it's free, I'll give it a shot.

That's a good question, I would like to know that too.

By the way, I am a fair way card receiver, therefore my team sucks. But, I am available for online games.

I just noticed in the friends leaderboards that there is a category for "coins earned from games". At least that is something.

I still would like to see more to differentiate players who earn their coins versus those who buy them.

I'd play you DEFT but, I have the 360 version.

It is soo funny to play people who try to use their cheeseball tactics while controlling low 60s-rated quarterbacks. That 20-yard drop back and WR screen isn't gonna work dude!

I know right. I kind of like it for that reason alone.

I am playing my franchise right now but plan on looking into this for sure tomorrow. I don't play online for a few reasons. One I really suck anyway so I am not fun to play against, but with this mode I would be willing to play with people from here looking for others that aren't buying packs. I am on 360 for all sports games (PS3 for baseball though) and my tag is the same as my name here. So if you aren't worried about playing a crappy player even if he has good players let me know.

I think this game mode is tailored for online play. It isn't fun to get killed by the CPU when you have an all bronze team. If you can find some good people then it is pretty good.

Keep in mind too that if you are just into the collecting, you don't even have to play Ultimate Team against other people. You can just play against whatever AI team you want.

I managed to beat the Steelers and Rams so far with my all bronze team on All Madden.

Stephen McGee as my QB, Colt Brennan as a back up QB.

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

As a FIFA ultimate team nut, I feel a little aggrieved as many of the worries I had coming into the Madden version were realised.

For a start, the new identity you are supposed to forge out of your team becomes non-existent with the proscriptive choices of kits. You can't seem to mix and match pants and tops, and each kit MUST have its real life logo too. I'm guessing this is an NFL thing and not EA being short sighted, but the fact whatever you call your team doesn't even show up on a chunk of the stat overlays (I get Redskins) takes you out of it too. It feels like X NFL team but weird, instead of your very own team.

The complete lack of tournaments makes it almost redundant as a mode too. You can only play exhibition games, and if the key is to get to the top of the leaderboard, then you know some 14 year old stat boosters are going to beat you to it.

As for building the best team, EA have seemingly sacrificed the game it could be to make some extra money through microtransactions (which FIFA did to nearly the same degree). However, when last time you had only 11-16 players to keep in contract as opposed to 50+ this time, and the points earning is much slower, and teams are already sporting Packers Favres and lots of gold players...you get the impression that you have to pay for at least one platinum pack (only a minimum of 15 games to earn one, of course, all the while not spending a single token on keeping any of your players playing for you) to remain competitive.

If it offered more as a mode, it might be worth devoting time to it. But it feels so empty and so obviously bent towards buying a few packs to survive let alone compete, it's a bit of a damp squib.
