I’m Josh Looman, the lead designer of Madden Ultimate Team. I wanted to thank all of you for the overwhelming response to Madden Ultimate Team and let you know about a special promotion we’re starting tomorrow morning (Friday, Feb. 5th). We’ll be releasing a new group of cards tomorrow morning as an insert set. That means that the cards will be available in gold and platinum packs only and they will be available for a limited time. These particular cards have not been available in the game at any point up to now and you won’t be able to buy them in Weekly Deals. You can only find them in packs. Once we remove them from the packs, you will not be able to find them again. We’ll be releasing more sets in the coming weeks, so keep an eye out for new cards in the future. This first batch is Set #1 and it features ten unique cards. The cards contain new images for every player, some of them from Sunday’s Pro Bowl. All of the cards are Legendary tier cards. Here’s a list of the cards that will be available in packs starting tomorrow morning… Set #1, Card #1 2010 Pro Bowl Josh Cribbs, Cleveland Browns Cribbs is one of the NFL’s most dynamic players. He is a Pro Bowl kick returner, a great runner out of the wildcat formation, a starting receiver and a former college QB. We set him up as a HB in this card because of his success in the Wildcat. Use him at multiple positions on your team to see where he fits best. This legendary card honors his 2010 Pro Bowl selection. Set #1, Card #2 2009 All-Pro Dallas Clark, Indianapolis Colts Clark is a wide receiver in a TE’s body and he’s one of the Colts most dangerous weapons. This legendary card honors his All-Pro 2009 season. Set #1, Card #3 2010 Pro Bowl Elvis Dumervil, Denver Broncos Dumervil is a beast of a rush linebacker. He led the NFL and set the Broncos single season record with 17 sacks. You can line him up at OLB or DE in Madden and receive an instant pass rush upgrade. This legendary card honors his 2010 Pro Bowl selection. Set #1, Card #4 2005 Super Bowl MVP Deion Branch Branch had a fantastic game in Super Bowl XXXIX, winning the MVP trophy after grabbing eleven receptions and beating the Eagles 24-21. This legendary card honors his MVP award. Set #1, Card #5 2009 All-Pro Jahri Evans, New Orleans Saints Evans is one of the best interior linemen in the NFL, tasked with the responsibility of keeping Drew Brees on his feet and keeping the running game going. This legendary card honors his All-Pro season in 2009. Set #1, Card #6 2010 Pro Bowl Brandon Marshall, Denver Broncos Marshall is one of the top 5 receivers in the NFL, as evidenced by his NFL record 21 receptions against the Colts in Week 14. This legendary card honors his Pro Bowl selection. Set #1, Card #7 2010 Pro Bowl Chris Johnson, Tennessee Titans Johnson is obviously one of the most electric players in the NFL this season, breaking the 2000 yard barrier. This legendary card honors his Pro Bowl selection. Set #1, Card #8 1994 Junior Seau, San Diego Chargers Seau is one of the best linebackers in NFL history and his 1994 season was a great one. He finished that year with 155 tackles, a career high. This legendary card honors his amazing season in 1994. Set #1, Card #9 2010 Pro Bowl Vincent Jackson, San Diego Chargers Jackson had a fantastic 2009 season, emerging as the clear #1 target for Phillip Rivers and he topped it all off with 7 catches for 122 yards in the Pro Bowl last Sunday. This legendary card honors his Pro Bowl selection. Set #1, Card # 10 2010 All-Pro Ryan Clady, Denver Broncos Clady has emerged as one of the best left tackles in the NFL. This legendary card honors his 2009 All-Pro season. Well, that’s the list of of cards. Remember, you can only get these cards in gold and platinum packs for a limited time starting Friday morning. I’ll be back next week with an update on when Set #2 will be released.
