Whos taking one for the team? https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/ea-sports-fc

Has anyone preorder this yet? I’m unsure enjoyed Fifa 23 but not sure if that was becasue I had Ffia 22 off. Mixed sexes in Ultimate team and ‘dynamic pack weight’ doesn’t fill me with confidence.

If anyone’s still interested ultimate team deep dive tomorrow. Updated opening post.

Jimbeam3678 · 9 Aug 2023 at 21:23

Did anyone watch the Ultimate team deep dive? Seems very much same old with a few subtle tweaks.

Hopefully not on my own

Sad times,these threads used to really active in years gone by

I’ve booked the week off work, regardless of this thread, I’m looking forward to it, and I will probably be moaning about it come December :cry:

Roll call of people who have preordered it?

The problem with Futbin is the site can run slow, Futwiz is far quicker but has its own problems. Isn’t it Dan whos on these forums that runs that site?

I'm going to be playing ultimate team this year (and only this year) I haven't played it for about 6 years so i'm out of the loop, I'm planning on buying a lot of packs when the game first comes out (Please don't tell me otherwise, i'm not addicted like most and will only be doing so on this version, i have self control) "moan moan whinge, i hate this game but i'm going to buy it anyway, moan moan whinge whinge" ive always enjoyed playing this game.

but when will be the best time to buy players? should i open my packs, sell most players, wait a month or so and then buy?

Depending on how much ‘loads’ is, buy Mbappe or other desirable players as early as possible then sell a week after general release is usually a solid strategy.

Yes agree - the desirable players usually go up a lot just before the first weekend league as people buy teams

And more importantly, have managed to generate coins via opening pack

@Rids @Quinnaay are you onboard this year?

19th September - Content Creator Access
20th September - Webapp Access
22nd September - Early Access / Ultimate Release

Content creator access :rolleyes:

I’m not overly fussed about the early Webapp access, but giving streamers early access just leaves a sour taste. Understand why EA do it, as it is essentially free advertising.

Jimbeam3678 · 17 Sep 2023 at 17:27

EA have the usual 79p offer on for EA play. Pays for itself if anyone is buying packs or wants a free 10 hour trial.

Jimbeam3678 · 23 Sep 2023 at 15:37

Haven’t had commentary on for years

Jimbeam3678 · 24 Sep 2023 at 20:09

@omnomnom paging as I believe you can’t see this thread for some reason.

Jimbeam3678 · 25 Sep 2023 at 22:21

Got to div 5 and let me tell you it’s not a nice place to be. I need to do my fut champs qualifiers, but I’m led to believe it requires 5/10 wins which normally isn’t an issue, however I suspect the level of opponent this week will be reduced to just high level players.

I’m in Div 6 and that's bad enough :cry:

I’m off this week and have been watching Fuji stream and he’s lost the plot several times!

Can someone also check my sanity for me but answering this question? R1 does that alter standard right stick dribbling? I think I am imagining that is does? RT and LT is the new control for precise dribbling correct?

Its just a rebadged/updated Fifa 23 isnt it?

Which was a rebadged Fifa 22

Jimbeam3678 · 27 Sep 2023 at 18:28

2 wins from Div 5 - 15 17 games and 15 straight losses. Brutal :mad:

What’s the team @Jimbeam3678 we will have to have a game at some point

I spent money to try and solve the problem :cry:

There are a couple of decent players in the team. I’m off work all week so drop me a message, more than happy to have a game or 3.

I did manage to win 4 games eventually. Hows that Hero left back you’ve got, any good?

The menus are **** (no other way to put it, sorry mods) but I think the playstyles are a really nice improvement. It basically makes using players will low pace viable, like Thiago Silva is slow as hell but anticipate+ playstyle means if you go near him he's coming away with the ball, game over. Then there's other ones giving pace boosts, great finesse shots, fast accurate passes etc. So your Toni Kross with 0 pace is no longer a complete waste of space because his passing is actually dangerous.

I think I am in the minority in actually liking the new menus. Slightly buggy but logical flow for me.

Jimbeam3678 · 28 Sep 2023 at 14:07

Famous last words, but think I have turned a corner with the defending. Tracking runs and keeping your controlling player goalside has made a big difference to me.
