Fifa Ultimate Team thread.

Div 2 is hard on PS4. Won Division 1 a few times playing FIFA 15 on 360 but not made it to the promised land on 16 yet. Tempted for the first time to pump some cash into this game so I can upgrade as every team I play is just insane and my basic Serie A side is struggling. However I refuse to give EA more money.

Have you used the coin boosts in the catalogue?

Yeah used them up to level 25, next boost is at 30 I think. The problem I had was getting to 15K coins and doing the draft which almost always left me at a loss. Trying to avoid that temptation and saving for players I need now but it's a long and arduous journey to afford the top dogs.

Hardly touched FUT 16 for months. Really kind of fed up and bored of it. All I really play now is Pro Clubs, everything else on the game is horrendously boring. Even then Pro Clubs hasn't been touched since Fifa 12 bar adding a couple new haircuts. Such a shame as it is by far their game mode with the most potential yet.

I take it this is the general FIFA thread?

Pretty sure it's the Fifa Ultimate Team thread.

Does anyone else play Be a Pro mode and online clubs?

I know when you play offline and build up stats they don't transfer to your online player, you have to build them up online. I hadn't played my offline career for probably 3 months until yesterday due to numerous shitheads playing online clubs with the intention of just fucking the game up. In my first game my player went from 88 to 96 overall with endless achievements unlocked. Should that happen?!

It shouldn't happen because you can't get a 96 overall. What position is your player?

At least you can't get a 96 with your online player.

 

[Stevencc]

CAM. It's my offline player who is 96. My online player is still on 88.

Are you talking about % accomplishment progress rather than actual overall?

A CAMs maximum overall rating is 91. Striker is 89. Etc.

Possibly it's just different offline though, I only play it online.

 

[Stevencc]

In that case offline is certainly different - the only way to get stats like that for your online player is to hack!

88-96 sounds like a big jump but as it seems quite different to the online version perhaps it's normal.

 

[Stevencc]

Why'd you sign for Man City!?

 

[epic73]

My first season was for Boca I think and the only offers I had were German teams then on the final day of the window City came in for me so I accepted in the hope I could move to another English team in the transfer window. No one's coming in for me though!

Does Aston Villa count as one?

 

[Jonny12]

Offline pro and Online pro are completely different.

Just tried Draft mode out again, haven't touched it since the beginning of the game.

What a fucking load of shite that gamemode is. Both times I went out in the first round to a 5 at the back Liga BBVA team with TOTY Messi, TOTY Ronaldo, IF Neymar, and many other Liga BBVA beasts. How is this meant to be fun? To get a squad to win you pretty much HAVE to pick BBVA players to even stand a chance against their quality.

Just lost a game 4-2 where I am also sure that my record breaker Cech was match fixing, he let almost every shot in and those which he didn't he palmed round the post even when he could have caught them. First goal was a Messi finesse shot that deflected of my RB who ducked under the shot and sent the keeper the wrong way. 2nd goal was a shot from Neymar across the goalkeeper which Cech should have saved. 3rd was a corner where Cech, instead of just catching the header from Pique, fell on the floor all dramatically and let it fly over him. Unbelievable. 4th goal was a shot from Messi from outside the box that must have took a deflection because it flew so slowly and poorly, but still Cech managed to miss it.

Meanwhile I am having to dribble through 5 or 6 players to get into the box to score with De Bruyne, and my second was a bloody overhead kick in off the bar.

So fucking frustrating, not fun whatsoever. I think this years Ultimate Team has to be the least fun I have ever had on an FUT, just awful... and this is coming from someone who has won Div 1 a couple times too! Can't imagine what some other people must be experiencing.

BPL TOTS is out, with a 95 Aguero, 94 Ozil and de Gea.
Aguero's stats:
Pace: 95
Shooting: 97
Physical: 84
Defending: 35
Passing: 91
Dribbling: 95
Got 100k saved up, hoping against hope to pack him for my team.

 

[epic73]

Just got two players who are in TOTS before realizing that it's not on iOS.

 

[epic73]

Wow. TOTS just came out on iOS after I spent the 100k I had saved. The iOS cards are officially out of hand. There's a 98 Aguero and 100 RATED VARDY

 

[epic73]

Last post, I promise.
A bunch of Leicester players have just gotten commemorative purple cards. Only good thing EA have ever done.

 

[Stringy]

There's a tournament on right now that allows you to win special player cards. I've got that tricky Ukrainian left winger guy whose name I can't spell and I'm trying to get that Dortmund striker whose name also I can't spell.

At the moment I'm building an all Dortmund team. I've got all the players, I'm going through the process of upgrading them to in-forms and looking for a top keeper to be my only other one. I think I might go for Fahrmann IF. He has similar stats to Neuer and is an inch taller.

As I have Bale and Kononplynka I might build a Spanish team. I really like Aduriz, he reminds me of Ritchie Barker.
