Madden 12 Ultimate Team

[Mt. Crushmore]

This is my favorite game mode in the new Madden. I am about a 75 overall. What do you guys think of it and what are your teams like?

[latenighthero]

My team is way better, like 85. This game mode is good, but nothing compared to the Hockey Ultimate Team version that they have in NHL 12. They need to improve this game mode to make it not get boring after a while.

[Mt. Crushmore]

Ya I have really been able to play like 3 times a week right now so I am not getting as many games in. Also I don't spend real money on this stuff. In my opinion it would just be a waste.

Yes, I imagine people do this quite often. I run into a 99 rated team every now and then.
I'm just super bummed that the "This one is easy" achievement is actually impossible for me. You have to make a NEW MUT. If you played it last year, you can't make a "new " one. Really hoping they fix this.

[RavensFTWCary.W]

I love this game mode, my team is 97 overall, i have 5 95 overall fantasy desean jacksons, 2 vernon davis's, 2 96 overall fantasy calvin johnson jr's, Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, 98 adrian peterson, marshal faulk, 3 james harrisons, 2 jon beasons, 1 patrick willis, 3 ed reeds, 2 namdis 1 revis, 1 charles woodson, 3 ngatas, 99 Brady, Rodgers, Marino, 95 vick
I didn't use any real money either, i just kept getting coins from games, buying packs, sending players to collections or trading them/auctioning them. I currently have 1.6mil coins lol, almost all the available packs done except the week 1-3 fantasy's (because you don't get the cards for them after a new fantasy pack comes out) Best reward would have to bee 99 rodgers or 99 walter payton, marshal faulk sucks, slow speed and he is 34 years old unlike payton and sanders who are 24. Sadly you can't get dan marino from completing collections, my friend really needed money so i bought him off of him for 100k chips and he used all those chips by the next day lol.
BTW I HATE THAT achievement too, so retarted, how dumb is ea/madden to make that achievement and not fix it. Also, I totally agree on those who waste real money, what a waste, takes all the fun out of it, when i first started i saw people with Jerry Rice (whom i still need to get) walter payton and sanders while their teams were around 60-70 overall.. sad, i dont think they completed the packs that fast, they would have been higher overall if they did

[Mt. Crushmore]

I have gotten my team up to an 88 right now. I have only completed the NFC Head Coaches collection but I was able to but 6 Gold Premium packs with those coins (I put lots in collections from those also). My team right now looks kind of like this:

Are you on xbox so I can try and trade for one of your QBs?

[RavensFTWCary.W]

Yea note how it says xbox 360 on the top lol. Im willing to trade dan marino for something good, id prefer to keep brady, but im not trading rodgers or vick.
@ravenstrike... yea ive gotten crap before too, well not my fault you (the complainers) aren't as lucky as me when it comes to getting cards. I build my team on speed for offense and ratings on defense. In madden its all about speed (thats y i use rodgers, jacksons, vick, and vernon davis well and walter payton).

[RavensFTWCary.W]

Finally got the 99 randy moss from completing the UCF collection, damn he is a beast!

Who do you want from my team for Marino?

[Bmaster176]

Love this mode, anyone got and willing to trade or sell doug legursky, brian leftwich, or jimmy clausen or revis:) Trying to complete some collections but short just them players. Gamertag is Bmaster176, msg me

[RavensFTWCary.W]

To tell you the truth, I am really looking for troy polomalu, as you can see my team basically has all the best players at their position, or possibly Antonio gates, id switch him with my second vernon or third jermichael. If you have any other legends i guess i could go for them too, but im not a big fan of them
I have an extra doug legursky too, so if you're willing up to give up one of those players above (troy or gates) that would be cool. I know he is a 70 and they are 99, but he is a b* to get, while some people have good luck with those others ( iwas stupid to auction one my gates's for 25k, should have kept him). If not, I need greg Camareilo (I spelled the last name wrong) he is part of the vikings core collection, he is a WR.
I have every collection done but the vikings core and Greg is the only player I need to finish.

[Mt. Crushmore]

If anyone needs a week 7 fantasy player let me know. I have many of them already.

[RavensFTWCary.W]

If you play on 360, I will gladly take a brandon flowers, or if youre set to sell him for 10k, I don't have much money left, and he is the only one i need to get 50 more thousand which would help out a lot.

[Mt. Crushmore]

Unfortunately that and Brees are the only ones I don't have. If I get him I will let you know.

[RavensFTWCary.W]

Awesome Thanks!

[Mt. Crushmore]

I just opened 3 straight packs and got 3 Haloti Ngatas! Lol. Let me know if you want one.

Also any get any week 8 fantasy cards yet? I have Cam Newton and Chris Houston. Just wandering what is out there and what will be the hard ones to get this week.

Ah, I was hoping someone on this forum took part in Ultimate Team. My team is 98 overall with 91 chemistry. Spent $6.98 on coins, and flipped them into just over $2,200,000. Unfortunately, I lost the majority of them in a successful search for an FF Patrick Willis and an FF Corey Webster. Here are the overalls of the majority of my players, according to the depth chart.

Offense:

QB - 99 Dan Marino (1993 Comeback), 99 FF Aaron Rodgers, 90 FF Cam Newton
HB - 99 Barry Sanders (1997 MVP), 99 FF Adrian Peterson, 99 Walter Payton (Reward)
FB - 94 Ovie Mughelli

TE - 99 Antonio Gates, 93 FF Jermichael Finley
LT- 97 Jake Long, 96 Joe Thomas (Reward)
LG - 98 Jake Long, 99 Carl Nicks (Reward)
C - 97 Nick Mangold
RG - 98 Jahari Evans
RT - 98 Jake Long, 93 Tyson Clabo
3DRB - 99 Marshall Faulk (Rookie)

Defense:

LE - 99 DeMarcus Ware, 94 FF Jason Babin
RE - 99 Haloti Ngata (Reward), 99 FF Terrell Suggs
DT - Kevin Williams 99 (Reward), 99 Haloti Ngata, 88 Ndamukong Suh (Reward)
LOLB - 97 DeMarcus Ware, 94 Clay Matthews
MLB - 99 FF Patrick Willis, 98 FF Ray Lewis, 95 FF Brian Urlacher
ROLB - 99 Lawrence Taylor (1986 MVP), 98 James Harrison
CB - 99 FF Darelle Revis, 12x 99 Darelle Revis
FS - 98 Ed Reed, 92 FF Charles Woodson
SS - 99 Troy Polamalu, 99 FF Antoine Winfield
K - 89 FF Sebastian Janikowski
P - 92 Donnie Jones

KR - 98 Walter Payton
PR - 98 Walter Payton

Practically set, as of right now. Just hope to acquire that ever-so-elusive Deion Sanders.

Thats better than mine I am a 97 right now with about 73 chemistry. Why do you keep 13CBs?

[RavensFTWCary.W]

Yea i was wondering the same, sell a few of those revises online on ebay or on the auction block.
Btw @Crushmore
Week 8 Offense: Steven Jackson (hard one), Anquon Boldin, brent celek, cam newton
Week 8 Defense: Patrick peterson (hard one), Chris houston, cliff avril, I don't remember the last one but its easy.
Reward for offense i would assume would have to be a 99 Lesean Mccoy
Reward for defense i would assume would have to be a 99 Demarcus ware

I'm not sure on the rewards, but those 2 players played the best this week.

The problem with selling Revis at the moment is the value drop. Once the FF Revis was made into a Reward card, most of the users immediately rushed in after FF Corey Webster, who apart from the FF Patrick Willis, has probably been the rarest of cards needed to complete a collection. Obviously it dropped the original Darrelle Revis down a bit, as he went from averaging around 80,000 - 100,000 coins on the auction to a mere 30,000 - 50,000. Since Webster will no longer be in circulation via the Gold and Gold Premium Packs, I'm to assume that he will become harder to attain, prompting a slight to moderate increase in the value of original Revis. Until then, I'm keeping most of them on the Trade Block, and waiting to see if someone offers me a card that exceeds his value.

I would, but I'm actually on PS3. Sorry. Webster was a tough one. I acquired the FF Ahmad Bradshaw, because a number of FF Webster owners were looking for him, which is how I got mine. Maybe that could work for you as well.

I would also suggest doing that with whatever FF card will be the rarest this week. Just some food for thought. You never know who's looking for what. I had somebody offer me the boosted Lawrence Taylor for my Oakland Jerry Rice. Needless to say, I jumped on it.

If it is McCoy, I doubt he'd be a 99. Arian Foster is rated higher in their Online depth chart, and his FF Reward card was a 98. That after he amassed over 110 rushing and 110 receiving yards with 3 combined TDs.

[RavensFTWCary.W]

Yea its prolly a 97 or 98 mccoy but mccoy had 200 all purpose yds and 2 td's so who knows
