FIFA 11's Ultimate Team Mode Gets Major Update
When your DLC is getting DLC, then you know you've made something the fans want. FIFA 11's Ultimate Team mode – the card-based fantasy footie mode – is getting an update, including some major improvements.
The February 17 update gives over 50 updates, according to EA, including the ability to challenge friends and compare yourself against friends via leaderboards. Friends can be challenged whether they are online or not (you can even leave messages for them after you've played their CPU-controlled team if they're not there), and the leaderboards include rankings for things like overall club value or trading activity.
EA says that the mode's other improvements include the ability to re-post expired auction items, turning off power passing assistance for online matches, and "general stability improvements."
FIFA 11 Ultimate Team is already free, but do these additions sound good enough to make you want to pick it up?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
