I stopped buying NHL because of how stale it got. Their Ultimate team mode feels like a predatory cash grab.
MLB The Show on the other hand - can't wait for the early access this weekend. I'm a HUGE fan of their ultimate team mode - you earn cards by playing it and have a stacked team without ever spending a dollar.
The biggest example I found is when a guy in the MLB hits a major career milestone, they release a program where you can play the game, complete certain objectives, and you get that card. In NHLHUT, they give you the opportunity to get a chance at the card by buying packs.
