Madden Ultimate Team Coming Tomorrow! Absolutely Free!
In late 2009, Madden Ultimate Team was announced for Madden 10 as an add-on. The good news is that its finally ready and its absolutely free!
So what is Madden Ultimate Team? Basically its Madden 10 fused with Magic The Gathering. Yea that’s right the 1990s card game. Lucky for you, you won’t have to deal with physical cards. When you start Madden Ultimate Team you will receive a Starter Pack with random cards. Your starter deck includes everything from players and coaches to stadiums and uniforms.
More cards can be purchased in the form of Booster Packs using the virtual coins you receive from playing games with your team. You can even buy and sell cards from other players through the online auction system. EA hopes this brand new feature will breathe new life into the game and add more interest to playing Madden 10 online.
I honestly think this is a unique and interesting endeavor for a company such as EA, however I’m not too sure if the results will be what they are expecting. Turning Madden 10 into a card game doesn’t exactly target their core audience who would probably prefer to just play quick games with their buddies. On the other hand the hardcore audience could really appreciate something like this.
