In an interview with Gamespot.com, Josh Looman introduces “Madden Ultimate Team” and talks about some of the features it will have. Here is a summary of it:
“Madden Ultimate Team” will be a brand new premium downloadable content that will be absolutely free to play. You earn coins by playing games then you can buy packs or bid on cards in an eBay like style. It’s a full feature in Madden such as Franchise and Superstar mode. You will first name your team then go through a tutorial. You will be given a starter pack with basic players. You play to earn coins to buy better players and get a better team. This will also include players where they were best known at, such as Brett Favre at Green Bay and Randy Moss at Minnesota but very hard to find in packs. There are also stadium, playbook, uniform cards, and injury cards to help you heal your players. There is also other features such as length of contract, chemistry, and many new features. This feature will be released around the holidays this year.
Here is a video on the new feature:
I at first thought that this would be another attempt to make money, but when I realized it’s free, I know that this is actually for our enjoyment. I like what EA is doing with this, adding a new feature to the game. I can already think of ways we can do tournaments here at Maddenholics.com with Madden Ultimate Team. Should be a fun feature.
“You may not take off immediately with your QB on a pass play out of shotgun. You must wait one second or take a step backwards then go forward. Stepping to the side does not count.”
This play is taken from the Madden Federation and will now be enforced in our league. If you have any comments and/or questions, please say so now.
The end of season 1 is approaching and many of you are left wondering if you’re going to make the playoffs. We can’t obviously require you to complete all your games in order to make the playoffs since that’s of course not going to happen. We have decided that we will approach the playoffs by admitting the most active players in the league. This will help thank the players that have worked their butts off trying to compete their league games. If someone finished 4-12, it would be better than a 9-0 record with the method that we’re using. Right now, if the playoffs were to start as of today. The TMFL-PS3 AFC playoffs would look like this:
If you check the standings at the leaguedaddy page for the PS3 league, you will see that the Steelers have horrible records (no offense). They will make the playoffs because of their efforts in the league. If you have any suggestions or comments, please say so.
The TMFL uses default rosters. There are many complaints that this isn’t really fair for the Detroit Lions owner. We have to do our best to keep it fair. We will be drafting teams for Season 2 and every season after that. The people with high draft picks will be the most active as well. The worst out of the most active will choose first obviously, then going to those who are better and active. Inactive people will get to choose afterwards. It’s another way to thank the active members in our league. If I had to do the list for the draft right now, the first 5 picks would be:
Once again, you can see that the active people get a high draft pick. The Denver Broncos, despite being top seed at the moment, will have a high draft pick due to their activity in the league. If you have any suggestions or comments, please say so.

I throughout my many attempts to create a special place for Madden players have always lacked the ability to keep my feet on the ground. I always want to start out with the biggest ideas without even perfecting or even getting started the small ideas that I have. One of my bad decisions was starting with two Madden leagues (one for Xbox 360 and PS3) but luckily we might be able to make the two leagues work thanks to your help. I have decided to start out with a blog that will keep you guys interested. Once the request is there, we will transition to a radio show, but that time is not now. Hope you guys understand what I’m trying to do. Thank you.
