Ultimate Madden

[Farzin]

Anyone download this yet? Pretty fun.

I dislike the contract thing with the player cards. If you got the player, you should keep him? I got Harrison from the special deals on the PS3 and he's racked up tons of yards online for me against defenses. (Jamaal Charles and Derrick Johnson will be released cards soon, which I thought was cool.)

I got a contract card and added it to Harrison, but he only has four games left, which is stupid.

Overall, pretty fun. Especially since players are forced to BUILD a team rather than go and select the Patriots, Saints, Colts, etc.

I inserted my Madden 10 disc, and an update alert popped up. After I let my PS3 do the update, I went on Madden's main screen and noticed "Ultimate Madden" was an option. I believe it is also on the 360.

1. I'll re-edit this and double check if I'm wrong, but you start off with 35 cards. That includes a head coach, jerseys and play books (all are separate.) Chances are, you will have wide receivers play defensive back and vice versa. I recently discovered an "injury card." If your player gets injured, he will stay injured for however long he will need to sit out for. You can get him back on the field by powering him up with the injury card. My guess is that puts the player back on the field immediately.

EDIT: I got a silver pack..pretty BS. I got a couple good players who have an overall around the 73s .. ten I got playbooks and jerseys. I wonder what you get for 9000 coins, or $3? I would be afraid to do that..


2. There are different types of packs, each go by ranking.

You can spend 500 on the bronze pack, 1500 on the silver pack, 3000 on the gold pack and 9000 on the platinum pack.

You can spend real money if you want to on those packs. 25 cents for bronze, 50 cents for silver, 99 cents for gold and 2.99 for platinum.

Also, your only allowed 100 cards total at once, I believe. You can have 53 while playing, the others are basically your "practice squad" except its a "47 man practice squad" .. if that makes sense.

Another good thing to share--I opened a total of two packs so far. I have three kicker cards. Two Lawrence Tynes and one Shaun Suisham. I believe each pack comes out with at least a kicker, so it would be in your best interest to discard the card and gain coins, unless someone is stupid enough to bid coins on a kicker, place them on an auction list.


This is Madden, fantasy football with NFL Europe type of players, card collecting and eBay all in one.

Haha. Let me know when you get two Lawrence Tynes haha.

Normally, I don't spend real money for online games much, other than xbox live. But this is quite cheap, so I would not mind spending a little bit on this. It's pretty fun and it makes you feel like your an NFL GM/coach. Kudos to EA on this one.

Lmao im making richardson into a shutdown corner. He had 3 picks in the first game.

Db coach in the making

Sounds like they are taking a cue from Zynga on their game styles.. So you have to pay for the game, then pay more if you want to be great faster.. Or cheat the system.. Create a fake online account and lose on purpose to yourself..

That would require at least two 360's or PS3's....

Man, part of me does not want to play this game, just so I can keep Harrison. I think the contract rule is pretty stupid. I know I've been complaining about this, but there are supposedly only 300 Harrison cards. Eventually, they'll all run out...

[ChiefsRoyalsMizzou]

lol im 2-0 but my team rating is like 65

Tom Brady is now available to unlock. I can guarantee one thing, once Derrick Johnson and Brian Cushing are available, tons of people will go after them.

To be honest, this is a pretty cool feature for the most part. Enjoyed playing this on my day off.

My friends have better things to do, probably work on their own games online..

But if someone is that desperate and want to create multiple accounts to cheat themselves through, well, its their call.

This deserves its own thread.
