    Anyone hear about this? It will be a free add-on download in early January.

    You will get a certain amount of cash and with that money you buy a pack of cards. The first pack of cards will have a complete lineup, a stadium, and home and away jerseys (which don't match).

    You then take that team and play games and you get money for certain accomplishments during the game. The money can be used to buy more cards and there are bronze, silver, gold, and platinum packs. The better packs are more expensive but give you a better chance of getting a better player.

    If you get doubles, you can put a card up for auction and there will be an online auction where people can bid their accumulated dollars for your card. You get the money to apply to more packs after you sell your unneeded cards.

    i know the early ps2 maddens had this. its funny how ea thinks if a feature has been taken out of a game for a few years that it is good practice to call it new when they bring it back.

    I remember you could collect cards in like Madden 2004 or something, but I don't remember getting anything out of it.

    This is new. Which Madden has ever had this feature? They're calling it new because it is.

    i know for a fact that madden 2001 had the exact style feature. you earned credits for certain things throughout each game, like completing passes to 5 different receivers and what not. you used the credits to buy packs of cards, some of them were players some of them were teams and some of them were just cheats. you could use the cards to make the player on the card get a ratings boost, or you would make the team on the card get a ratings boost.

    this card thing may be a bit different but it is certainly not new.

    you collected cards of players throughout the league and bronze silver gold. they resulted in minor ratings boosts, but the medal rank would determine the length of the boost

    bronze would be 1 play silver would be 1 quarter etc etc

    something to that effect.

    not much else to say lol.

    Yeah, in Madden 07 which is what I've unfortunately been playing they had that medal system. But I'm pretty sure it was only for players and cheats (there was no unlockable bronze medal 1969 Jet team or anything) Basically the medal determined the boost or effect of that cheat, so for instance if you have a Revis card, if its Bronze the boost is for 1 quarter (as Coach K said), if its silver its a half, if its a gold its the whole game. The same thing applied to the cheat cards you could unlock
