I finally got lucky with packs yesterday. I got a 99, two-star Antonio Gates basketball card as part of a Legendary pack. These go for anywhere from 60,000 to 120,000 on auction, but it is a very good gameplay card, so I'm debating what to do with it. I've also finally settled on a team name, the 'FightingSheldns' (bonus points if you get the reference). -TN05

It's been a bit since my last update, so quite a bit has changed with my team. I'm shuffling between Vince Lombardi, John Madden, Dick Vermeil, and Tom Flores at Head Coach, but that is the least of it: *I've reluctantly replaced my 99, two-star Kurt Warner with a 99, one-star Russel Wilson. Kurt is one of my favorite players of all-time, but this card fumbles way too much and tends to have weak deep accuracy. I now have three 99 overall QBs, with Kurt being the number-two and a 99, two star John Elway being third-string. *At WR I've kept Jerry Rice at number-one, but added a 95 overall Steve Smith (one of my favorite players) and a 90 Victor Cruz *I've beefed up my offensive line. I now have a 93 overall Jordan Gross (another personal favorite) at LT, 99 two-star Gene Upshaw at LG, and a 95 overall Josh Sitton at RG. *I'm starting a 94 Chris Long at LE; he's no Howie Long but he is a very, very good player in this game. I've also boosted DT with a 92 overall Ndamukong Suh. *I have a 92 James Harrison starting at LOLB and a 99, one-star Luke Kuechly (yet another favorite) at ROLB. I also have a 99, two-star Ronnie Lott at FS and a 99 overall Eric Weddle at SS. *I've increased at punter with a 92 overall Sam Koch, and I've put Percy Harvin (99) at backup KR and PR. So overall, a lot of changes. I still need to solidify my offensive line and get some better linebackers, but aside from that my team has a good shot against any team. -TN05

So in more Madden 13 UT fun today, I managed to win a Legends pack (as well as 8,000 coins), and who else did it contain but the G.O.A.T: Jerry freaking Rice. Considering I'd been looking to buy a Jerry Rice card, this is great - the card also contained a Anquan Boldin, Greg Olsen (one of my favorite Panthers), and 92 Jay Ratliff. Seriously, these packs are awesome. In addition to those, I bought some other cards off auction - Marshall Faulk (reviving the Greatest Show on Turf, perhaps?), 97 overall Eric Weddle, Josh Scobee, Thomas Morstead, and Mike Tolbert. All of this boosts my team overall up to a 93, quite a ways away from my pitiful 80 overall just a few days ago. My offense is looking to be a juggernaut, but I still need to improve my linebacking corp as well as offensive line. Additionally, my naming contest is still up and running - we've got The Springfield Mascots so far, and I'd be glad to take more. -TN05

Okay, so over the past few days I've managed to radically improve my team. Here is my current lineup, with bolded players being new additions: Offense: QB: Kurt Warner (96 overall), Steve Young (93 overall), Cam Newton (85 overall) HB: Adrian Peterson (85 overall), DeAngelo Williams (84 overall) FB: Stanley Havili (63 overall) WR: Randy Moss (84 overall), Lance Moore (82 overall) TE: Vernon Davis (95 overall), Jason Witten (93 overall) LT: Joe Staley (87 overall) LG: Justin Blalock (85 overall) C: Scott Wells (89 overall) RG: Brandon Moore (89 overall) RT: Bryan Bulaga (89 overall) Defense: LE: Calais Campbell (93 overall) RE: Osi Umenyiora (88 overall) DT: Tommy Kelly (86 overall), Terrance Knighton (84 overall) LOLB: James Anderson (87 overall) MLB: Sean Lee (88 overall) ROLB: David Hawthorne (88 overall) CB: Leon Hall (89 overall), Patrick Peterson (84 overall) FS: Pat Tillman (79 overall) SS: Ronnie Lott (96 overall) Special Teams: K: Graham Gano (72 overall) P: Donnie Jones (78 overall) KR: Patrick Peterson (99 overall), Brandon Banks (99 overall) PR: Patrick Peterson (99 overall), Brandon Banks (99 overall) Other: Head Coach: Vince Lombardi (99 overall) Jerseys: Carolina Panthers Overall rating: 89 As you can see, a lot of new additions. Vernon Davis was priced insanely low at about 1,500 coins, and Kurt Warner was an even more absurd 3,400 coins. I'm a big Kurt Warner fan, so I'm really glad I could get him, and Vernon Davis makes a great TE duo with Jason Witten. You may be wondering why the Adrian Peterson card is rated only an 85 - it is a 'Treat' card, much weaker than any other AP card. Regardless, he and D-Will make a good one-two punch at running back and I'm not too conerned there. My biggest holes are at FB and WR currently - I wanted to get Mike Tolbert at FB, but all fullbacks are priced insanely high. I'm not as concerned about WR, given I run a lot of two-TE sets. Also, I'm going to hold a little contest here. Right now my team name is "Panthers4Life", obviously a pretty lame name. So basically I invite any and all of you to suggest a name here - I'll take the suggestions and hold a poll here to determine a new team name. Update: I've managed to acquire both Lawrence Taylor and Dick "Night Train" Lane since this post. -TN05

So I've been getting into Ultimate Team lately, mainly due to Connected Career becoming impossible due to not being able to restructure contracts (seriously EA, what the heck were you thinking?). Anyway, I just completed the NFC South Solo Challenge, and my reward was Ronnie Lott (96 overall) - in case you don't know, one of the toughest players in NFL history and one of the best to boot. I've been working on my offense more than anything but with Ronnie Lott at SS I shifted a rookie version of (the late) Pat Tillman (79 overall) to FS, with a decent cornerback tandem of Leon Hall (89 overall) and Stanford Rout (84 overall). My biggest hole is at linebacker - I don't have a single guy with a rating of over 66. On the offensive side I have Steve Young and Cam Newton at QB, DeAngelo Williams at RB, and Jason Witten at TE - aside from that, it's a pretty meh group. Right now I'm at an 80 overall If anyone wants to play against my team just shoot me a message. -TN05
