Those two issues are what keeps me from playing Madden's version as well.
    I haven't seen anything mentioning teambuilder, so I would highly doubt that it would be integrated in this mode. Although it would be a nice alternative to the random uniform/mascot/stadium cards

        This feature holds zero appeal to me. I will never use it and likely never even look at it. I never bothered with it in Madden, either.

          Man, this sux monkey-ballz. Yet another feature that I will not spend 1 second using. I guess the only positive is that at least this feature is not forced upon me like JTS, Hit Stick, Aggression settings, etc.. are. The only good part about this feature is the ability to ignore it.

          Sure wish all efforts went into game play.

            It seems like a solid fit with the game. They already had the code from Madden, and own the licenses to use the players names.. so why not. I doubt this took too much away from the rest of the design of the game, but who knows.

            I do fear this will turn into a pokemon situation where kids feel they have to collect them all, charging up mommies credit card to do so. I do like the option to buy\sell\trade, and hopefully battle online for either a rare, or random card in the deck.

            I may check it out after I finish my RTG and dynasties. It could be the missing key for long term replay-ability. I know I play hardcore for a month or two, then forget about the game until about a month before next years game comes out.

              I'm sorry but this is the second time I've seen this compared to pokemon cards. Are we really to the point that kids have no idea about sports trading cards anymore? I can't be that old can I?

                I am 34 and almost went with Magic the gathering, but I figured I would cater to a younger crowd. I honestly never played pokemon at all. I did collect a ton of baseball, basketball, and football cards, but this game doesn't have the feel of that because there were years and hundreds of thousands to collect all of them. With only having ~2500 to collect it would be more like a pokemon\magic situation.

                  can someone please take the time to explain what this mode is and exactly how it works. because the way im looking at it i just dont see any appeal for it. yet i keep hearing how ppl enjoy the mode, so i must be missing something.

                  so i get the fact of collecting cards, ala topps and such, but after that i am lost as to what is going on with this mode. please break it down child style. also i never played pokemon or magic the gathering.

                    NCAA Football 14 Looks much more improved than 13. Being Number 3 in sales is not bad and it's Selling way better than the Basketball series ever did. NCAA Football series is the best made Football series in my opinion. The Ultimate Team will just improve and revamp what already is a great fun quality Football game. Plus fixing up the run game and blocking is what was needed and a practice where it helps you play the game also a good addition. Excited for this game. Good job so far EA.

                      You get a pack of cards. These include cards for players, stadiums, uniforms, mascots, and skills(?). The cards you get, will be the players on your team, you will play at the stadium for the card you have, wear the uniform that you have a card for and your mascot will be the one you have a card for. With this random combination of a team, you can play single games and challenges to earn credits that can be used to "purchase" more cards to build your team. There is also a season mode where you can pit your team against an online league of guys doing the same thing.

                        If this helps sales and keeps the NCAA series viable for the long-term, I am all for it, even if I rarely play it.

                          so its not just a simulation thing? you actually can play on the field with the players on your cards just like you would a normal game? so basically its just a fancy way of desrcibing a college football fantasy draft?

                          also what do you mean by "purchase"? is this in game money or actual money

                            Yeah, that pretty much sums it up

                            Purchasing with in-game credit but you will be able to buy more credits with real money, not that it will be required at all.
