Needs its own thread really.......

So been spending some time with it, really like the new UI, minimalistic yet I think I found everything I need, two questions:

1. Why no Tyldesley and Townsend? Don't get me wrong I really do like Tyler/Gray but expected that like last year we'd get all new commentary?

2. Offline tournaments, why am I forced to play them on stupid skill levels like amateur? Why can't I choose my own level eg World Class and actually enjoy a challenge?

Played about 6 games so far and have to say I think it is much better than the pervious version.

Once you work it out you can find things easy enough and the multiple squads thing is great too. I also like the new cups where you have to meet a certain criteria to play in them. e.g. min 8 players from one country etc.

I like the fact that you cant change the level, I think some folk would just do all the tournaments on a really crap level just to get coins.

Not bad for £3.99 anyway.

When a players contract ran out last year the player would simply vanish, is it know that he remains in your squad until you renew his contract?

Obviously they shouldn't let us lower the skill level from that of the tournament, but if we actually want to make it harder why on earth shouldn't we be allowed to do so? I don't even care if it earns me no extra coins but winning 5-0 on amateur is tedious to the extreme :(

It also seems really geared up now to make people buy packs with MS points, there's no collectors album to earn coins and there's no last second bidding to get really great deals on cards you can resell or whatever you choose, extending the bidding every time there's a bid in the last 10 seconds is an extremely pathetic idea IMO.

Ultimate team has sucked me back into FIFA, even tho I have a lot of issues with it and haven't played with months... they've made some significant improvements to it and I love the team building aspect so I gave in... but I have a question (had the same q last year)

What happens to your chemistry when you make a formation change/subs in game? It seems they go through a lot of effort to make sure u don't change ur formation in game (the only chance you get to change it at all is after the game starts) and of course the interface of the game is different so you can't see how any changes effect your chemistry.

So, do we know if it does anything at all? For example if I were to to a completely different formation, would it do anything? If I subbed players I wanted into other positions, would it matter? I would hope yes, but it seems like it's impossible to know...

That goes for every aspect of the fifa online experience. Proper football is not the key to winning, and 80% of the crowd puts winning way ahead of football. If there was an option to turn on superman boost as long as you accepted an electric shock from your controller everytime you scored.....You would see a lot of jumpy kids around

It's not limited to Fifa, it's the same in PES, hell it's the same in just about every multiplayer game, the vast majority want to win only and don't care how they do it, they will cheat, glitch or basically play as "cheap" as necessary to win, yes there are a percentage of good people out there who only play online for the experience and will try to "keep it real" if you'll excuse such a banal expression but they're a clear minority.

Oh and for those that haven't heard, EA have had to remove the facility of buying packs with MS points as people have discovered you can make it glitch and get the packs for free by quickly removing your wireless adaptor and putting it back in again, shame they don't remove this facility completely for both 360 and PS3 and never bring it back.

I got the Barca kit in a gold pack and thought it would be worth something but its worth sweet FA

What do you make money off? I need help because i need coins :LOL:

I started wrong though and didn't bother with the formation or chemistry and just kept saving for gold packs and that turned out to be a shambles. So now i have had a reshuffle and am playing a match, getting 500+ coins and then buying a gold player to fit my formation and its working alot better

Now i am looking to improve the players but with me only getting 400-600 a game the contracts are taking there toll meaning im not able to save much

Any help would be appreciated :)

had a quick look at this lasnight

enjoyed all the 5 online games i played, won them all

RuneEdge

That free gold pack glitch has messed things up for everyone cuz for that brief period, getting coins was as simple as glitching a free pack and then discarding the whole pack straight away for a minimum of 1000 coins (sometimes 2000, all depends on the value of the pack). So now after the glitch was "patched" up, theres too much money out there so cards have very inflated values. I saw Ronaldo go for well over 1 million coins. Messi and the new updated Rooney card go for almost as much as Ronaldo too.
I really hope EA reset everyone's squads and everyone starts from scratch. I guess the only problem with that would be all the packs that people legitimately paid for and how they'd be refunded. But something needs to be done cuz the people who got left out of the "glitch scandal" are really suffering.

I'm enjoying it as well

Playing with lesser players has got me playing Fifa properly again and i'm playing football how it should be with passing and movement galore and some of the build up to my goals has been the best i have ever done on the game

Its especially satisfying when your playing some nob who just tries to use through balls, skills and shot fakes all the time and you just murder them with your passing and snuff them out in defence

Also it seems as though there are alot of similar players on this who play the same way which may work against people but it definitely don't against me

Yeah, same answer for Bitter.

When you are at the squad screen use the right stick to flick through the stats like Moral/Fitness etc.

You might start the game with everyone on green, but take a look at half time and you will see the guys that are struggling.

I have not played too much, and only have a few quality players. Robbie Keane and McGeady in midfield, and an Aussie strike pairing of HArry Kewell and Scott Macdonald up front. My chemistry is crap though.

I think you need to spend a bit of time trading to make some coins.

So how often do you guys rest your players? I rest mine when they dip into the 80s but it seems like they're only playing 2-3 games at a time.

RuneEdge
16 March 10, 22:06
UT needs a few fixes before I start caring again and they're not even that hard to implement. For example, when cups have restrictions (eg. only silver cards, or max 3 players from one nation, etc), they should also limit the amount of assistance on controls. So the easy 1 star cups can have all assisted while the more rewarding cups should force you to play on manual.
Another suggestion is limit the amount of cards you can apply to a play. I've seen people give very average players loads of stat boosts to the point where they're like Lionel Messi. Almost makes it pointless collecting the more valuable cards.

I've got a fairly decent team (Henry, Kaka, Saviola, Joaquin, Robben, Hargreaves, Mascherano, Cannavaro, Lucio, thats a strong team, right?) but got my ass kicked by a guy on assisted controls who was using a bunch of nobodies with stat boosts.

You just have to have a good eye for a bargain. I just picked up Bosingwa 30 mins ago for about 1,500. I'll hopefully get about 7,000+ for him when I sell him.

What I personally do is decide on a player and then narrow your search down so that he's the only one that'll come up. Take Messi for example. For him I'd choose Argentina for nationality, forward for position and Barcelona for club. When you do the search, you'll be surprised how much the prices vary. You'll probably start off with the normal prices but then scroll a few pages across and hopefully you'll find something cheap.
It's almost weird how in one search I saw a player for a 10,000 buy it now price tag but in that same search I saw someone bid 25,000 for the same player somewhere else. I guess people just dont spend enough time to look and take the first thing they see.

18 March 10, 15:29
Real kits/badges sell for shit, if you looked you would see there's pages and pages of them so common sense says not to buy them as they have zero resale value, you need to spend a little time first looking at which kits/badges are less common, look for those that people are selling with silly buy nows, pick up some bargain ones for 150 then undercut whatever the lowest buy now is, set it to 12 hours and you're almost certain to sell for the buy now, doing this as I said I've earned 210,000 coins since UT came out :)

I didn't buy the Real stuff i got it in a pack and when i did check for how much they go for there we loads on there

100,000 coins can get you 20 Gold packs which is the equivalent in MS Points to 1600 MS points for 20 gold packs, 1600 MS points can cost anywhere from £15-£20

I'll sell 100,000 coins for £10 if anyone's interested :) Obviously 20 gold packs still doesn't guarantee the players you want, if you have the coins you can buy whoever you like ;)

The problem is, so far no one is willing to pay the £100 for a million coins. I've seen it go for a lot more in the past but I think fewer people are playing the game now (or maybe I need to be more patient, I dunno). I've had two people ask for a discount. One said he'll buy it for £80, the other wanted 2.5 million for £200. Both I can't accept cuz even at the asking price, I gotta pay tax to eBay as well.

In the email there's a link to the live chat thingy, chat to someone there and ask them to reinstate it, although I think the fact it's just a paperclip might not swing it, told you my postcards was the way to go ;) Maybe think of something cheap and cheerful to offer for sale + free coins?

Oh cool. Thanks. Did you send him a link to my listing? Cuz that's been taken down.
Could you tell me how you managed to keep your listing up though? I noticed a nearly all the listings for coins have been taken down a part from yours. How did you get it reinstated?

EDIT
just read your post.

Your listing was down so I sent him a link to this thread, figure he can reach you through here :)

I'm down to my last 100k now so if anyone else asks me for bulk amounts I'll send them your way :)

Just chat with the agent and tell them it's a genuine item you're selling that you are sending by post.

I think the fact that the listing is for a paperclip that costs £100 isnt gonna work in my favour. :LOL:

I might have to cut the coins down into 100k bundles, and charge £10 for them and some post cards.
I think selling postcards for £10 is more believable than a paperclip for £100.

wow havent been on this site for a long time (dont play pes anymore)but just found it again after googling :D

been trying to do the same as you guys since i dont play ultimate team anymore. i was the one including a stamp or a pen lol

ebay having none of it though and they have removed my listings about 6 times now and dont think im going to try any longer incase they ban me.

do you guys know any forums or sites that we could sellthe coins on?

If you ever figure something out, let me know too. I'm actually quite desperate to get some money back.
I saw some dude on the official forums that made over £1000 by buying players for cheap on ebay, selling the players in the game, and then selling the coins back on ebay.
I thought I'd do the same and it was all going to plan and I was on course to make about £1000 profit myself but then slowly the price of coins started to drop on ebay. They used to go for £25 for 100k but now go for about £10. I started to panic thinking I better start selling quick cuz it's reached a point now where I will just about break even thanks to the price drop. But now things have gone from bad to worse cuz I have all these coins but no way of selling them. So now I've lost well over £600 for nothing. I would have originally made (70 x £25) £1750 from the sales if everything had gone to plan.
The timing of it has been really unlucky for me. And I actually look at myself and laugh at times. I have a fulltime job so I wont be in any serious financial trouble cuz I usually get enough disposable income. But I'm not willing to accept that all those coins I have are gonna go to waste. They're clearly still worth something and I MUST SELL THEM lol.

i dont even know why we cant sell them on ebay to be honest.

luckily for me i didnt spend any real money in the first place but like you it is annoying me knowing i have something worth quite alot of money, also knowing people will buy but i have no where to sell lol.

i put a listing up yesterday for 20,000 coins and sold three lots for £4 each before they went down so the prices are still ok aslong as you sell the right ammount of coins.

i thought i found a forum the otherday (avforums) but cant sell them on there either :(

think i may just email some of the people that bought coins off of me in the past, only problem with that is ebay sending emails out all the time not to do deals with sellers who want to sell away from ebay. they make out they are protecting their members when in reality its because they lose alot of money (they take something like £2 for a £20 sale) if the deal is completed without them

I've sold 5 so far. Another 45 to go. :LOL:
If I sell another 25, I think I'm willing to call it a day cuz it wouldnt be too difficult to carry the debt of the remaining coins.

I have just about had enough of this, there are just far to many people out there cheating (duplicating players etc.) and now there is a new glitch whereby your opponent can come onto your team, they come on and start scoring own goals or getting players sent off, so you have to quit, it has happened 4 times to me over the last week:

http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/525531.page#5057657

Funny how EA sorted out the glitch where people were scamming free packs quickly, yet they have not done anything about this yet.

Its definately some dude biding on his own stuff. People have started doing that in the game too, where cuz it's the only player on the market, he makes high bids on his own cards with a second account to make people think that how much it's worth. And then he sells it for real later when enough people have bought into the hype.

You just get a friend to do it. Very easy to do.

The best way of proving this is to keep an eye on the seller. He'll soon have the same players up for sale again...
