Talk:Ultimate Team

Madden?

Madden NFL also has an Ultimate Team mode. This article should cover that too. – PeeJay 11:21, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

• There's already a link to Madden in the hatnote. Last I heard, Madden removed Ultimate Team, and the Madden version was never of the cultural popularity of FIFA's. Kingsif (talk) 03:40, 16 February 2024 (UTC) - I stand corrected, Madden still has Ultimate Team, though it seems significantly different on more than just feature names (EA). Perhaps it's so different because Madden fans never really liked it. Either way, being so different as a game mode and culturally, as well as pertaining to a different game series, while Wikipedia may need better coverage of Madden's Ultimate Team, it doesn't belong here. Shares a name and coming from EA, but not much else. Kingsif (talk) 03:53, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

• ... that Ultimate Team is a video game mode most popular among young people, but is also regularly criticized as a form of gambling? Source: Percival, Joey D'Urso and Holly. "FIFA Ultimate Team 'loot boxes': gaming or gambling?".
  • Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/A Tale of Magic...
  • Comment: Could also have a hook comparing the football subject to the quote about "glamorous runway", and anyone is welcome to propose hooks.

Moved to mainspace by Kingsif (talk). Self-nominated at 00:09, 16 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Ultimate Team; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• New enough, moved from draft 2-15. Long enough.
• Hook is sourced in article, but needs one here. I went ahead and added it for you. Also, your sources throughout the article aren't consistent; I suggest that you go and format them correctly.
• Your hook is a little unclear, especially to us non-gamers, which is why I hesitate suggesting a new one. If you prefer ALT0, I'm fine with keeping it. ALT1: ... that the popular video game mode Ultimate Team has been criticized for its reliance on loot box packs, considered a controversial form of gambling?
• Proper QPQ.
• My only real problem with this article is the source formatting; once you take care of that, we should be good to go. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 18:53, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

• There is no requirement for sources in DYK noms, nor for consistency in reference formatting within articles nominated for DYK. Kingsif (talk) 00:37, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

• Needs someone to review alt1 as proposed by previous reviewer. Kingsif (talk) 00:38, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

• I didn't mean that there needed to be a source for the hook, but I added it to demonstrate how it's done. One of the requirements is the following: "...that each boldlinked article is well-sourced, neutral, BLP-compliant, and copyvio-free." It can be argued that inconsistent formatting of sources fails the well-sourced requirement. If there's disagreement about that interpretation, I'm okay with withdrawing the request for this DYK, although it's a good idea for the nominator to do it, anyway. I was making a suggestion for another possible hook; if the nominator likes it, yes another reviewer needs to approve it. If the nominator didn't like it, I'm willing to withdraw my suggestion and approve ALT0. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 17:08, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

ALT1 is short enough, cited, and interesting; would probably yeet 'popular' for concision, but I'll leave that to the prepbuilder. I see nowhere in WP:DYKCITE that requires anything other than clothed URLs, so let's roll.--Launchballer 10:21, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Yes, agreed. Good work. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 17:09, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
