14 DAY TRIAL // The development team at EA Sports is announcing a big set of changes that it plans to implement in the Ultimate Team mode for Madden NFL 15, which is set to be launched on August 26 in North America and three days later in Europe on the PlayStation 4 from Sony, the Xbox One from Microsoft and last-gen consoles.
The company states, "Madden Ultimate Team is the fastest growing game mode, and allows fans to collect some of the best NFL players from the past and present, upgrade their squad into an unstoppable force and then dominate any opposition they face."
As always, gamers can earn coins by playing a number of solo challenges in the single player or by launching online head-to-head matches in order to then use them to get access to packs that contain new players, better coaches, a range of playbooks, stadiums, and more elements associated with the sport.
An Auction House will be included in Madden NFL 15 in order to give all those who play Ultimate Team a way to get rid of excess content and pick up missing pieces that can enhance their line-up.
EA Sports has focused its attention for the new installment of the mode on ease of use, which means that it is easier than ever for gamers to sort, view and manage items they have earned, to promote players, add them to collections and also to extend contracts.
Because just one screen is used in Madden NFL 15, gamers will spend less time focusing on administrative tasks and they will be able to play more matches with their friends and rivals.
At the same time, the Ultimate Team mode includes a new way to quickly glance at the entire team setup to decide which players need to play in what position.
EA Sports has also announced that Team Style has replaced the Chemistry system and that gamers will be able to once again enjoy the Head to Head Season mode.
A new Objectives screen is also used to make it easier for newcomers to understand what Ultimate Team has to offer in Madden NFL 15.
The American football simulation is designed to use an all new Ignite engine on next-gen consoles, which will deliver smarter players and expand the range of options that gamers can access during matches.
EA Sports has also introduced a new set of War in the Trenches features that will expand the defensive elements of the game.
