WTF. I just wanna play football.Just sounds like the modernised version of the primary school Panini stickers you'd trade with your school mates. EA tryna make the extra P..
Of course lolLike Risky said they just took the idea from UEFA CL 07This is how clubs should of been in the first place tbh bar the stickers.The idea is actually sick but paying for it is robbery. From you can customize your own stadiums and training grounds and stuff.

nah not worth it imo might aswell just stick with the game when i read this: FIFA 09 Ultimate Team Enables Gamers To Create And Collect Their Dream Team To Compete Onlinei kinda thought it would be like the thing people do already in unranked games where they've got a team of like ronaldo, torres, kaka, robinho, gerrard, fabregas etc as their team but more in depth and as a proper game mode, asin everyone having their teams built up of stars.
