Any console converts in here? Considering buying on the PC for the first time. Should I make the switch? What are the pros/cons?

I made the switch last year, since it had the same new engine as console for once. I found it much better in terms of opponents, as you didn't get people rage quitting all the time, especially in the higher divisions.

I didn't have any probs with prices but it's too early to say this year, as the price bands have been changed but I'm guessing it shouldn't be too bad.

Guy will it work with paypal and u need mexican address when buying through mexican VPN?

I can't remember how I paid last time but there was no need for a Mexican address.

What version did you all go for and where did you buy from?

Managed to find standard version (key only) for £29.99 and the 15 pack version for £33.99 (same place).

Anyone found better?

Where's that from? Pretty sure buying from Origin via VPN is under £30.

I haven't bought it yet as I was planning to buy on PS4 this year due to more players but haven't got a PS4 yet.

Cheapest place to get the game on pc? CDkeys with the 15 free packs for 33.99 is tempting...

Have bought this and previous years using a VPN/or Hola Chrome extension from the Mexico Origin store, standard edition for 40 dollars which is about 25 pounds?

Anyway I have a question, using a VPN does anyone know the earliest possible time we can play this in the UK/Ireland? I've heard South Korea maybe unlocks tomorrow afternoon our time but I cannot confirm it anywhere!

Sorry for the double post but also buying from Origin will give you the chance to preload the game, the key sites like CDKeys probably won't give you keys until the European release date!

Awesome, any thing you need to do other than have a vpn on the mexican origin website? What about addresses and the such? can you do it step by step ie 1) 2) 3) etc
Thanks

Similar to this:

Get VPN (Hola Unblocker for Chrome)
Goto the Origin website
Click/Use Hola and choose Mexico
Click "reservalo ya" on the product page
Click "ir a caja"
When you are on the page where it asks you to login to your account, turn Hola/VPN off.
Login to the account. You can change your language at the bottom if you like.
Enter details.
Purchase.

Did not need to use a Mexico address, I used my normal PayPal account.

Make sure to uninstall Hola afterwards as some people don't trust it!

Yeah, CDKeys was where I saw it.

I've since used VPN to find the Origin Mexico store and I'm seriously tempted to buy the super deluxe for £38.

chroniclard · 20 Sep 2015 at 15:55

Had Fifa 15(two copies) and Fifa 16 so far from origin mexico using Hola VPN, no issues so far.

theaterix · 20 Sep 2015 at 16:01

Well for some reason the payment will not go through. Everytime its just saying i need to add a card to my paypal even though there is sufficient funds on the account as i transferred it over. Rang paypal and they said its Origin stopping it for some reason, how long do you keep the VPN on for before turning it off?

Irish_Hawk · 20 Sep 2015 at 16:11

As I said, turn it off when you have added the game to your cart and just before you login to your account.

I had problems with the payment until I turned off the VPN at the right time.

I've tried every way i can think of and its not working at all :/ keeps saying i need to add a card

Irish_Hawk · 20 Sep 2015 at 16:28

Do you actually have a credit card linked to your PayPal account? Maybe you need to have one, Origin may not allow purchases just by your PayPal balance, maybe it still purchases on your credit card through PayPal. If you know what I mean

Also maybe if you haven't already, add and save your credit card details/PayPal account to Origin before doing the Hola stuff.

No i do not, i transferred the money over to mine from my dads paypal, i am 16 and i dont really need one just yet. My dad is a bit weird about buying from the 'Mexican' Origin though, hence why he wont let me use his :/

booyaka · 20 Sep 2015 at 16:34

£38 for super deluxe from Mexico - lots of chat that it might be possible to activate on 22nd via similar means as US/Canada get it then. Will see what happens.

booyaka · 20 Sep 2015 at 16:36

get the origin names up here for those that have bought it please!

Maybe that is the reason so. To be honest I would agree with your Dad! I wouldn't take the risk with someone else's card!

Yeah it will be possible, has been in previous years anyway. In fact I have heard maybe sometime on the 21st depending on when it unlocks in South Korea!

Origin name is Irish_Hawk I think, never really bother with online though, Career Mode all the way!
