Got my PS3 copy sitting on my desk next to me, roll on 3 hours time.

Trying to get onto the Ultimate Team web app at work but keeps swtiching between Servers Unavailable and then a message saying to access it I need to first play Ultimate Team on FIFA 12, which I've done since the beginning..... Annoyingly got my Origin ID for PC version on a different account to the PSN Origin version. Been playing the PC Ultimate Team version fine on the Web App but the PSN version isn't playing ball.

Hopefully it comes back online soon and lets me set up my PSN Ultimate Team...

Vied for a tag related to cocks, so here it is.
So do we have a league or anything for PC owners? Caved in.

EDIT:
Cindress (Yeah 2 ss) on Origin. Add, add, add. Just be sure to message me so I know who you are on GAF.

Q for 360 players:

How is 13 for balancing the connection in H2H matches? Does one team still get to play as slickly as an offline match, while the other has lobotomised zombies?

(still playing 11 so don't know if this was better in 12)

Thanks.

My Ingame Ultimate Team Fifa points balance is:
-842,150,451

just had a drop in game that was intense and end to end, i can really see the appeal of this mode, even when the quality is poor its still really tense

Are there daily Ultimate Team promo packs or something? I got like...2 gold Promo packs and 3 Bronze Promo packs today (all containing 4 cards).
 
Really hope EA make the speed of the game slower. It makes ping pong passing even worse.

This is what people over 18 want, however I can imagine most of FIFA's fanbase are younger than this and they're very happy with their blue hair afro midgets who can outpace Usain Bolt.

Ran into a few people using mummy's credit card to buy packs, having gold teams with each player and their preferred formation.

It's Ultimate team alright.
 
^^If you are going to spend some money to get some coins, now is the time to do it. Players are cheap!

Also, best UT kit is the Aston Villa away. It glows in the dark and I can't think of a team that it would clash against.

Refuse to spend real world money on micro transactions in any game, especially FIFA.
 
I have no problem throwing down $20 to open up a few packs. It's fun, and one TotW player and you're set.

Oh, and the best way to get better is to play a lot of games! Play against GAFfers, where it is more casual and you can learn a thing or two from each other. Otherwise, youtube some FIFA videos and watch those.
 
I think FUT encourages people to play bronze and silver level compositions with those tournament limitations. I might be wrong though, haven't played FUT too much.

Essentially, you shouldn't be going against a high level team with a low level team, or the matching is borked.

My manager tasks resetted. Can they be done every day new for a gold pack?
Edit: Apparently a bug. I did a few again, then all activated at once and it told me I got a new pack, but no pack awaited me.

In addition to this question:
Are there daily Ultimate Team promo packs or something? I got like...2 gold Promo packs and 3 Bronze Promo packs today (all containing 4 cards).

Is there any way to earn promo packs other than winning some in a tournament? Like using the web Ultimate team app daily or something.

Meh, Ultimate Team servers are a mess atm. I cant even play the Single player tournament. I actually already promoted in the Single player Ultimate Season, but it constantly switches its stats between me missing 1 or 2 games. If I play it again, the same still remains.

You get a small daily bonus for using the Web app. Things like some coins, mini bronze pack, etc.

I hate how they have taken player manager mode out its where I play 99% of the time

May not keep this long

WHAT! I'm in the same boat as you. That's a truly ridiculous and pointless decision. It was probably a check box on some development list (allow Virtual Pro in player base) -- I can't even fathom what they were thinking.

You were right by the way. The salute celebration gives me chills whenever I use it. We will need to play once you get an establish a team. can't wait.

I've already got a few teams done. . .

South Africans
A League
K-League
Saudi League

I find UT infinitely more fun using silver and bronze players, plus you can get crazy bargains for them most of the time.

What are you talking about? Manager career mode is in, isnt it? Checking in a few minutes, but pretty sure I saw it.

He's talking about player manager mode where you play as both manager managing the club and being a player at the same time playing for said club.

Just pick manager mode, I think you can select to control just one player before each match.

It's not the exact same experience but I think that's the best you'll get.

Manchester City in the game is crazy good. Team constantly makes runs and looks for spaces where as Manchester United, the team barely does any of that and my style of play is much slower and you can't use one touch football as much as possible.

Pisses me off since I'm a United fan. Haha

Use the 4-3-3 with the false 9, and 2 speedy wingers (Nani and Young).

This^ Seems they're moving away form the same quality as PES' master league though this year.

How do you acuumulate so many coins so fast man?

Also, we def need to play bronze v bronze. my ligue 2 team is pretty fun.

As a returning FUT member, you get 4 packs free, plus daily gifts, etc.

so take the money you get out of those packs and you buy high rated players REAL early, like when the FUT Web App releases and nobody has any coins. For example I had about 20,000 coins from selling everything I got in those packs plus daily gifts, I bought 2 David Silvas at 9K each, I sold them both for 45k the day the game came out in the US.

I took that 90k, bought 3 Kelvins (Porto 5* RW Silver) at about 30k each, sold them for about 70-80k each.

So 20,000 -> 240k roughly.

I then bought 4 IF Buttners (Man Utd Silver) for about 60k each. His now worth 100K plus.

:D
