What Parents Need to Know

About Upper Deck U

Parents need to know that registration is free, but the site also features an Insider Access paid subscription level that gives you the ability to purchase licensed team- and player-specific merchandise and other extras. You can also become an Insider by purchasing Upper Deck card products in stores and entering a code from the wrapper or by purchasing a digital pack bundle on the site. Digital packs range from $5.95 to $54.95 and include online sports cards and gold coins, which are used as one of the site's two forms of currency.

    I rate this title on for age 10 and give it 3.0

    Ehh, it's okay.

    When I first signed up, at first, I couldn't see my Avatar with all the people there. Anyways, Pros and Cons time. Pros: Great for baseball card collectors (Which I'm thinking of starting) Nice Mini-Games, and okay Graphics. Cons: The game's kinda slow (Especially on Mini-games) you can get lost easily, and the characters walk kinda funny. Overall, 3/5.
