Yeah it's a well known site - an essential!

Prices are higher on PS3 because of demand, more xbox players means more cards means lower prices.

not true, if theres more players, there is more supply, but there is also more demand.

therefore the supply and demand created by 1 player or 100 players is equal.

So why are the players on the PS3 version of Ultimate Team so expensive compared to 360?
Click to expand...

the 360 market has been artificially deflated due to people being able to get hold of packs for essentially next to nothing.

in a proper free market that wouldnt happen, their would be a price difference simply due to for instance their being a lot more wealthier people playing on one console than the other, therefore spending more money on packs, but the amount of influence they would have would would be spread across the board, making it next to nothing.

if microsoft fix the whole hacked account and accounts loaded with points problem, expect to see similar prices when a new generation comes out, but if they dont fix it, 360 will always be cheaper, due to people using these accounts to buy millions of packs.

you can buy hacked accounts on the 360, basically loaded with millions of microsoft points, people buy those, then they buy packs on ultimate team and then transfer the players/coins generated to their real account through an auction or trade.

this then means that the 360 market is being manipulated into lower prices due to supply and demand, in a perfect world, both systems would have a difference but it would be little in it either way.

these special hacked accounts have a "slang name for them", i think they mostly come from china or something. they have basically stole someones account who has their credit card linked to the account and they buy all the points and change the gamertag and password, etc so the original owner cant get it back or its too late by the time they do get it back. i dont know how it works, im on the ps3 and never looked into much tbh.

That explains it well imo.

But he doesn't know how many of those hacked accounts with virtually unlimited resources there are. It's easy to say oh there's loads of them, but without knowing it's impossible to say that it has any big part in the market.

Each of those accounts is worth 6000 MS points, at least, so it doesn't take too many to deflate the market I guess.

lol, theres literally thousands of them, i looked at one of the sellers and he's sold over 200 accounts, thats just 1 seller.

selling something worth £60+ for £10 is obviously going to affect the market hugely. as can be seen in the price difference in 360 and ps3 players.

obviously other things affect prices too, but i reckon this is the biggest factor in the pricing, simply due to how ridiculously cheap the accounts are being sold for.
 
if you were smart, you would buy a hacked account each day, buy packs, transfer coins to your own account, then sell coins on ebay for a profit.

how many packs does 6000 points buy and whats the average number of coins you get from a pack if you sold everything, contracts, badges, players, etc.

Do it the cheaper way, forget 4-1-2-1-2 with inflated prices and 15K formation cards, buy 4-3-1-2 and custom formation to drop the CM back and LCM and RCM out the side a bit, RM & LM in RCM & LCM will still be on adark green boot, so no hassle there.

does anyone know how many people play fifa ultimate team on the 360 vs ps3?

if you look at their forums

http://forum.ea.com/uk/categories/show/15.page

360 topics = 333916

vs

ps3 topics = 298001

this doesnt prove anything, but im guessing at its not a big a gap as people think it is.

Most of the PS3 topics are probably you posting how awesome you are.

Player wise though?

GK Lloris
RB
CB
CB
LB
RM Hazard

Fill in the gaps...I may have to lose Lloris :(
 
I just thought of a sweet Hybrid. 4-2-3-1.

ST: Milito
LCAM: Lavezzi
RCAM: Aguero
CF: Tevez
LCDM: Cambiasso
RCDM: Mascherano
LB: Maicon
LCB: Lucio
RCB: Pique
RB: Alves
GK: Diego Alves

Sweet I think!
 
Got to my second final in an online tourny. Breezed into the final than got torn apart 6-2.

I just can't do tricks. My thumbs don't work like that. :( I actually prefer to play the game the way its meant to be played and not doing spinning moves past players all the times.

41-2-27 is my record.

Doing better than I thought but I did cheat and buy coins.
