FIFA 15 Ultimate Team

[Dragonfly]

I opened up silver & gold packs (both premium) this morning. I got Jordi Alba in the silver pack, unbelievably, and Ibarbo in the gold pack. Alba is going for about 30k and I reckon I could get 15k for Ibarbo. I'm due a shit run of packs.

I'm on the web app now and I can see I can bid, but haven't tried selling, since I've reached my maximum.

You can bid? I can't even remove sold items out of my trade pile.

Yeah, the only issue is I can only use it on Chrome, while at work. Firefox is fine at home.

Nowt to do with Browser. It's FUT.

Maybe it's only an issue with Xbox users?

I believe you're right. When I went to look at some players over on futhead it had the lowest price on the PSN and nothing for the xbox, just a message saying that the xbox market is down.

Do you know when you're selecting formations in the Squad screen, are the formations present? Because I tried to find that formation we tend to use for clubs (4-2-3-1 with 2 CDM, LAM, RAM and CAM.. for those not in the know), but I couldn't find it?

 

[Ali]

Ugh, I haven't played that many FUT games so far, but it appears that the majority of players just abuse pace. Particularly straight from kick off. Gets annoying when they do it every.. single... fucking... time. I was ok with defending them in Fifa 14, but in this game I tend to panic a bit more because of the goals I've conceded because of the opposing player hitting a looping shot over the keeper.
Fifa can be a fun game at times, but it's just ruined by cunts. If EA could stop fucking about and fix these things that can be exploited, I might be able to start enjoying matches again.

EA need to stop releasing broken games. But they won't.

Part of me thinks they want to keep these exploits in. Cunts won't play the game if they had to actually.... you know.... be good at the game in order to win.

Nah, that's where scripting comes in.

The fact that they automatically delete topics created on any suggestion of scripting existing in the game, speaks volumes.

The amount of goals conceded straight after the other player scores is unreal.

This looks like a glitch. If you can get past the cluster of strikers/CAMs and all you have in front of you is AI you can usually just run past them or play a through ball for an easy finish.

I think it's just a basic balancing act. PES has been terrible for this in the past.

You should've seen the goal I conceded yesterday straight after I scored. This is how the game went:

0-1
0-2 (keeper palmed it out to his striker)
1-2 (around 75th min)
2-2
3-2 (around 89th min)
3-3 (straight after my goal, he ran forward from KO, I tackled him with one defender, the ball bounced back to the striker, then off my other defender back into the strikers feet, then he scored)
4-3 (1st half ET)
4-4 (not long after, ref gives a soft FK, he plays it short, turns my defender and scored. Tried it once before but he failed, seems like it could be another mini exploit)
5-4

None of my goals involved soft free kicks or lucky deflections. :no:

 

[Ziss]

1-0 up in the 89th minute, ref gives a penalty. Was a no-challenge; our AI defender had his hand on their player's back as he went for a ball the GK was getting all day long. 1-1, then in injury time a ball over the top, AI defender runs forward 3 yards as it's dropping to him, guy goes through unchallenged and scores. Scripting at its finest.

How do you guys get free packs? Just started fut. Gone for a team of mostly bronze English players sourced from my initial pack and a few cheap signings. Got good chemistry but avg player rating is probably 60.

Won my first online season but only got about 5k coins now.

You get free packs if you pre-ordered the game or was using the web app for the first couple of weeks. Also, they're not really "free" packs, but you can win packs by winning leagues (offline) and cups (offline & online).

EDIT: I had about 180k coins at one stage. Bought a bunch of players and packs, and sold some players. I'm now on about 60k. That's after getting and selling 2 Benzemas in packs, at a combined sale of about 120k. I'm going to try to slow down with the pack buying.

 

[Dragonfly]

I might start opening Silver packs more often. I got Alba a couple of weeks ago, who I sold for about 30k; and now I got Zuniga, who's going for about 25k. At 3.75k per pack, that's a fantastic return.

 

[Dragonfly]

My pack luck has been shit of late. I've now started exclusively opening silver premium packs, with more success. Just now, I got 3.5k worth of coins (1k and 2.5k) and LA Galaxy's home kit, which is going for about 1.5k, as well as other items that I can sell for at least 150 coins, each. I got Kurt Zouma yesterday, who I sold for 4.9k; and Chermiti a few days ago, who goes for about 9.5k. Those are good returns for 3.75k packs. Of course, you have less chances of getting 10k+ players.

I've noticed more bugs, especially with the offline seasons. I'm in D1 and won a couple of the D1 leagues, but have to keep re-working my squad. You'll be told that you need a squad from a particular league to play the season, but when you try to play a match, it tells you that you need players from a different league. I had to play Serie A with La Liga players and now I have to play Bundesliga with Premiership players.

What a broken game!

I've given up on this mode, it's like playing PES back in the day when they had the high speed mode. I presume it's done with the sliders where everything is turned up. Seasons plays much better and clubs has been quite interesting over the last few sessions with fewer players.
