You will need at least eight hours of practice to be as good as I am!

trophies are meant for the hardcore type gamers though. and for a lot of people, 250 eashl games is nothing. same with 8 hours in practice mode. obviously its hard for a casual gamer with kids and a job to sit around and unlock everything. for a teen or college student, its not so much to ask.

Hell, the eight hours of practices will probably take the Fata's 3 weeks, at most.

If the achievement system in WoW has taught me anything, it's that trying to get all of the achievements / trophies in a game is never going to be worth the time investment. I just see these types of things as gravy, and never as a major focal point of my gaming experience. The only trophies I ever earn are the ones I randomly stumble across by playing the game.

They do this with every 'new' feature. We had board play in 2003 or 2004, we had cards back then too, we had speed boost.

And the year they took out create-a-player, sure enough it was a 'new' feature the next year.

With no competition this is a guaranteed buy on launch day. Unfortunately the EA team knows this.

And it will freeze/corrupt your game files.

They sure seem dead-set against releasing gameplay vids hey? Those Hartford jerseys do look beautiful though.

I'm starting to come around on this online league thing. The more I hear from FIFA fans the more optimistic I become.

Ultimate team sucks. I wish they could have spent time working on something else, I don't even care what, just anything else really. I tried this mode in madden 10 and I really don't understand the appeal.

Sounds like just another way to suck money out of players through microtransactions for the 4000 digital cards they have.
