Online Seasons Comes to Hockey Ultimate Team in NHL 14

EA Sports today announced that the Online Seasons mode is now coming to Hockey Ultimate Team in NHL 14.

Major innovations to Hockey Ultimate Team in NHL 14 include:

Online Seasons: The promotion and relegation system developed by EA Sports FIFA is now part of the Hockey Ultimate Team experience. Win games and advance to the next division to face tougher competition, but fall short and be bumped down in the ranks. Teams will be able to track their progress across multiple seasons, always shooting for a move up the standings.

Auction Assistant: One player can change everything and even the best GMs in the NHL need a little advice from time-to-time on how to get that player. The new Auction Assistant feature will display key information such as average price range, rarity rating and availability of a particular item in the auction house.

EA Puck Rewards Everywhere: You can now earn EA Pucks, the in-game currency for Hockey Ultimate Team, by completing games in other game modes like Play Now or Online Versus mode. Similar to games played in Hockey Ultimate Mode, you will earn pucks based on your performance at the end of a match. You can then redeem those pucks and use them in Hockey Ultimate Team.

NHL 14 will be available on September 10th for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
