I now have around 800 coins. Do i buy the bronze pack for 400 coins or the premium bronze pack for 750 coins? The premium will contain 3 rare items but what do these usually consist off?

Its my first time on ultimate btw

Quick question for those with the Ultimate version. Does the 24 pack thing come with a code you redeem ? or does it just pick that up from the disc ?

 

[ps3ud0]

it looks like it's just server error/network busy etc.

Keep trying and it should work.

Try switching off your router and modem first - sometimes helps. Ah thats meant for Belloni - quoted Booyakas reply

Do you have a team yet? Id avoid using your coins to open packs while youve got so little. Best to buy appropriate players (correct formation, nationality or league) to ensure youve got the highest chemistry possible.

Pack buying is best for consumables at the start especially contracts. Any card thats shiny is rare, generally the best players in the game are shiny aswell as the most valuable consumables, that isnt to say though there arent shiny cards that arent worth much at all. Its all pot luck!

It comes with a code you have to redeem.

 

[Ewaf]

Where do you get all those bonus EA catalogue point things that was with the Amazon preorder? No code or anything received.

I got some players but there stats are very very poor LOL. I was hoping that buying a bronze pack would sort me out with a few good players LOL

as above - i would stick with picking your players up for 150 or so in the formation you want. Packs are very very random and often don't help with players your are looking for.

Play a few games, pick a formation you like, and work from there.

I've redeemed the code but where do I download them in game?

 

[Baplad]

Bugger think Im off to pick up FIFA 13 but also a new PS3!

I could have sent you mine over, don't use it anymore!

Anyone doing clubs the year on the 360?

 

[ps3ud0]

Guys,

Shiny Gold contracts going for 300 BIN atm - if you dont have plenty via pack opening might be an idea to stock up though I doubt theyll go much higher for a while...

Opened about 15 premium packs last night and the only items of note are:

Dede
Hummels
Diego Lopez
Welbeck
Bianbiany (French RM with 96 pace)
Sigurosson

R. Di. Matteo x2 both in 4-1-2-1-2
A. Villas-Boas in 4-3-2-1
O. Solskjaer in 4-3-3

Nothing outstanding really :/

Bronze packs will contain bronze players, which by definition will be rather poor. Your best bet will be to play some games offline to build up your coins, then buy some cheap gold players in the correct formation/position. I was able to buy a completely gold Bundesliga team (well, 7 players as I already had 4) for less than 5000 coins, which you can earn easily enough in one night I think.

Bianbiany - is a beast.

I think you'll get them automatically one per week, every Saturday. I seem to recall it was along those lines anyway, you definitely don't get all 24 packs at once.

This is why I ended up using Borussia Dortmund in H2H Seasons to avoid Barcelona and Real Madrid.

I have started as Manchester United this time and have encountered Real Madrid and Barcelona and find it amusing to beat them at the moment, especially when I had 10 men in one match.
