Tom 14011 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I posted on twitter that I thought this game was utter shite - The reasons being that I kept getting dicked online & the opposition defence seemed impenetrable - however since downloading the latest update I can control matches and I'm comfortably competing and winning more than I lose. Now - apparently this could be down to a defensive cheat people had been doing that the update fixed, certainly feels like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney 0 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Really enjoying Ultimate team. Keeps youfucking busy with fitness problems/contracts expiring. Good craic though considering I can't defend with the new system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Is it feasable to do Ultimate Team without spending real money? I'm struggling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4720 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 yeh absolutely, chucking in MS points speed things up but you dont need to spend owt you get what? 5-600 points per match? once you have a few thousand just start on the coin making techniques that dont take much effort while you keep playing and you should build up fairly quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Every time I play a match some buggers contract is up & I struggle because I don't have ''chemistry'' Which is bent because it makes my players utterly gash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyff 0 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Just had a fucking huge bug. Played some laggy 4-4 game in head to head seasons and afterwards my games remaining went down from 5 to 0 and I got relegated. Had plenty of games to get out the relegation numbers. So fucking frustrating. Sometimes I can't help but get pissed off at the game - there are too many bugs that really let it down, and if you are going to change the defending then you need to get the AI of the players you aren't controlling spot on. Too many times I find my defenders in the oddest of positions and people can just run straight through me. Did have one comedy moment when Simpson tackled some guy and they both fell to the floor. For a good 5 minutes they were both trying to stand up but kept falling over each other until eventually his guy got up first and went through on goal. Luckily he missed or I would have been fucking livid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoog 0 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Okay, need some help guys, I've got the PS3 version and I'm really struggling with this new defending mularky as well as taking the ball past th other player's defenders (all on Ultimate Team), in general I'm not having much luck with getting used to the new control system. I tend to hold the R2 (sprint) button down most of the time just to keep up with opposing players then for trying to get the ball off them I've mainly been tapping the x button, sometimes adding in the R1 button to get a second defender to help - all that seems to do though is take cover away against a different opposing attacker who my opponent then tends to cross to. Other people that I've played seem to have no problem in taking the ball from me whenever I get anywhere near their box. Any advice please buds?

Barney 0 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Every time I play a match some buggers contract is up & I struggle because I don't have ''chemistry'' Which is bent because it makes my players utterly gash. The secret of my success*: Saw I had 3 English men in my original squad, do decided to try and build an all English team(so I'd have full chemistry). Once I'd played a couple of matches and had some coins, I bought some bronze packs. Giving me contracts and a couple of players. Then sold on some of the rubbish. After that I bought Wellbeck so I'd actually score some goals. Once I'd won matches I bought a couple of cheap players. Danny Murphy(gold) for about 200coins. I now have 12 gold level English players and 4 rubbish ones. You can buy 11 or 24 game contracts for about 150-250 points. Buy yourself a manager of the same nationality(I got 'Arry Redknapp for about 300). Try and get players/managers who play the same formation. My current team Wellbeck Andy Johnson Jarvis-o Hara-Murphy-Albrightson Warnock-Smalling-Woodgate-Kelly Harper With Saylor on the bench and a few shit ones. 100 for chemistry and 73 or so average rating. Once you've gotten to a decent enough starting 11, you can just concentrate on winning a few games, buying contracts/injury healing cards or fitness whenever you need. I suppose I'll just save coins up for a top gold pack and hopefully get lucky with it. Sell anything I don't need and maybe then start to improve on my starting 11. Hopefully the above helps/makes sense. Maybe Matt or Andrew can point out if I'm wrong/misguiding you. *mediocrity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyff 0 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Does anyone give penalties away far too easily? Even when my tackles are perfectly times and win the ball, there is still a penalty given. Really annoying bug. It is like 9/10 slide tackles in the box result in a penalty, no matter how perfect they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyff 0 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Oh great. Just scored in the 89th minute to go 2-1 up. Saw out the last few minutes and on full time the guy turned off his Xbox and as such the game decided that that whole 90 minutes never happened >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4720 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 thats ridiculous. been working on my German side in UT got the two big guns now in Lahm and Schweinsteiger as well as a pretty good side and Low as manager I dont even play many matches at them moment, its easy as hell to make coins quick though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney 0 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 1) i dont bother with the hard slog money making techniques, buying contracts/healing for cheap(when available) and selling higher? 2) too much effort to mess about with the 59th minute and all that crap use the quick ones can you elaborate on these 2? 3)making 30-50k for the regular excellent players is fairly easy do you retrain players positions or something to make them more valuable?

Andrew 4720 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 1) contracts, crack in bids of 150 credits or so on a lot of them takes a few mins, let the auctions run down and then sell on the ones you win for 200 BIN you only make 40 coins on each one but you can get through tons of them with very little effort since most of the work is done running to clock down so just play matches or do whatever you want while you wait 2) the 59th minute technique is supposedly how all the "pro" money makers do it, get to the 59th minute on the listings and wait for someone to list players for an hour at vastly lower than their market value, EA forums are rife with stories of ridiculous profits when people sell but it takes a loooong time to get there (its usually about 600 pages in) and then you get a few seconds to grab anyone good who comes up as loads of others are doing it, not worth the time sat not getting anything tbh 3) I meant making 30-50k to buy the regular good players, rather than the popular ones like Messi, Ronaldo, Rooney etc looks at lahm and schweinsteiger, easily two of the best in their positions but they arent Dani Alves or Xavi or whatever so they go for a fraction of the price of the "big names" and you still get brilliant players Schweinsteiger is the most expensive player I have bought as far as I remember at 30k, along with getting Lucio Reina and Ramos in my free packs who are all worth a fair bit but you can get really excellent players for relatively little, someone like Jesus Navas who is awesome on UT since he is incredibly fast and a good dribbler costs about 4k to get any better than him though youre looking at serious money there is an achievement for getting a team with an average rating of 85+ and starting/finishing a match with them which seems impossible at first but Im pretty much there now by just cramming all my best players into one team and forsaking teamwork, my actual proper teams are a German side a Belgian side and a NUFC team just discovered you can do this on the web app http://www.ea.com/uk/football/fifa-ultimate-team/show-off#kqOaAvvJbbMsS thats my "going for 85" side http://www.ea.com/uk/football/fifa-ultimate-team/show-off#gXx0u7zAbbMsT the Gormans http://www.ea.com/uk/football/fifa-ultimate-team/show-off#dImqxjSlbbMsU The Belgians Lukaku and Hazard are devastatingly good http://www.ea.com/uk/football/fifa-ultimate-team/show-off#binakmqdbbMsX and my toon team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney 0 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 This just leads to more questions(sorry!) Do your players improve? Do you buy formation change cards for any of your players(does it make a big difference)? How do you get the 'black' cards? You mentioned free packs-whats the craic there? Finally(for now, I think), how do you make all of your points-purely winning matches? Cheers man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4720 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 they dont over time, if you pick up Lucio and hes an 85 he will always be an 85 and have the same stats have done once or twice, it can help with chemistry if its needed but since I go for teams with a particular flavour I dont really need to they are the team of the week cards, improved versions of players "in form" in the real world Higuain for instance is an 85, his IF card is an 87 I think with bumped stats you get them in packs (if youre very lucky) or you can buy them on the market but they cost a fortune, Ba had an IF when he got his hat-trick his normal card was about 3-4k at the time but his IF was nearer 30k, quite wanted one for my toon team three free packs on the first of the month for 6 months, preorder bonus you make about 6-700 a (single player, slightly more online) match at best then if youre doing tournaments then you can get the credit prize for winning too but its a really slow way to build up credits which is why I go for the contracts thing, it takes 5 mintues to either crack in tons of bids or put the ones you win up for sale and then you can play matches or whatever while you wait for auctions to end or yours to sell, as long as you dont buy for anymore than 150 and sell at 200 its totally risk free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I've been doing the head to head season - Last night I played Real Madrid 7 times in a row & lost six. I bossed most of the game only for Kaka or someone to score from 35 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyff 0 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Having huge problems with defending. Fair enough for trying to make it more realistic, but the AI of the players you aren't controlling is just bullshit. Surely when someone goes to make a run through the middle the thing you do is mark them so they don't get acres of free space? No? Instead you're going to stand glued to the spot? It is an absolute piss take sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney 0 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Bought Crouch for my ultimate team. I rather playing with pacy players. Getting fed up of my 'English team' too. Very limited choice on quality players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
