Fifa 19 Ultimate Team

Market has slowed right down since yesterday afternoon anyway. Guessing trials are expiring, and it will pick back up once the game launches.

ImANoob08 · 23-09-2018 11:57am

What are people opinions on the more expensive versions that come with packs etc.

Are they worth it?

Or would you be better buying fifa points and a few packs on launch?

What are the best packs to buy for bang for your buck?

I bought 30 packs last night...I got one boards player 84 rated out of the entire 30 packs (7.5k) which is just 3.3% chance.
I wouldn't waste your money on packs..its grand for starting off but do the divisions and squad battles to get packs etc. Much better off.

RossieMan · 23-09-2018 12:40pm

Packs are still ****e, always will be.

my people who have the time to play the market are the ones who'll have the incredible teams, same as every year.
Very hard to get any sort of team going early on. spam divisions and squad battles for this week, even though SB has the worst rewards and generally is a complete waste of time.

its good that the rewards from divisions look OP as hell. gives people something to play for.

Yeah that's something that looks like a really good change from last year. By hitting gold 2 in wl and squad battles and finishing somewhere in the middle of division rivals you could have around 100k per week plus packs and the wl red cards. It'll be beneficial for people like me who have no interest in trading.

Probably a stupid question but what are the blue champions league cards on futbin ? They have +1 to player rating but none of them are on the market and there's no sbc for them,

Promes is gone from the market. Someone is going to make a killing on him...!

Why is he gone?

maxwell smart · 23-09-2018 7:16pm

When general access opens up people are going to be all over buying him.
Depay, Varane, Sanchez (Spurs one) and Fred all gone too.

Someone is betting that EA will raise the top price for them (apart from Varane) above the 20k mark and make a killing

Ah yeah I thought he ment he was gone from packs. O have Fred and depay myself.

Bought myself a ton if Hunter cards too they will go for 5k each next week I was sniping them earlier for 2k.

RossieMan · 23-09-2018 7:31pm

They won't get to 5k this year. They've been seriously nerfed. Hawk looking the better buy this year tbh.

Drumpot · 23-09-2018 7:31pm

Haven’t played f18 in months. Sort of meh about this..

Couldn’t really get into the UT thing, always prefered Career mode but they have made feck all changes to it in a long time...

What’s the fun with UT?

Galway_2016 · 23-09-2018 7:45pm

Story lads. Swore I wasn't going to buy this year but after reading a few pages of this thread I think I'm gonna cave! How have you guys gotten access already though? I can only see releases for the 25th.

10 hours trial on Xbox and pc with ea access.

RossieMan · 23-09-2018 7:58pm

There's a way to get full access on Xbox too btw. Plenty of YouTube videos on how to do it. Don't think they've patched it yet.

Blazer · 23-09-2018 8:21pm

its fully out on pc I think.
Also got my CL player..only premier one I had was Wanayama so picked up.

Galway_2016 · 23-09-2018 8:28pm

Thanks lads! Just signed up for EA Access on my phone but subscription isn't showing up on console yet so gonna leave it until tomorrow before buying the game, hopefully it's showing up by then.

FUT is more for people who prefer the trading and all that stuff. It rewards people who sink serious time into trading cards and there is a stink of pay-to-win off it with the packs.

If you just want to play matches stick with Online Seasons. I used to play FUT but packed it in, it is not that fun for the more casual player. You are there trying to build a team by playing matches and you get match-made against some guy who has sunk a tonne of real cash into his team and ends up with a Ronaldo/Messi/Neymar/etc dream team, it's bollocks.

On the other hand, if you think you'd like the trading aspect of it then it's obviously very enjoyable given it's popularity.

Yeah. I've uninstalled and currently reinstalling so hopefully that'll work.

Cmacc4 · 23-09-2018 9:40pm

Where’s gonna be the cheapest place to pre order lads?? Just want the standard edition,packs in champions and ultimate are always trash

RossieMan · 23-09-2018 9:41pm

Packed myself a modric from an SBC pack, zaha in the same pack too. Nice 200k for an 8k outlay.

SuperValu sell it on release day for €50. Not sure if they’re still doing it again this year. Keep an eye on their Facebook, they usually announce it there with a store list.

Smyths for in store collection 54.99

Supervalu will be 49.99 again, but I heard a rumour it is just 3 copies per store and let's face it they are very likely already reserved

ImANoob08 · 23-09-2018 10:21pm

Totally forgot about smyths was gonna get it digital down but have just ordered my copy from smyths there €55 is pretty good value!

Luckily have a store near me!

All stores are open at midnight as well for release if anyone's arsed doing that.

duffman13 · 23-09-2018 10:26pm

On ps4 if you've a mate go halves and download it on two consoles from one psn, worked for me last year.

24-09-2018 12:00am

Have played about 15 games now across both UT and Seasons.

I agree with the lad on about the bicycle kicks now.

That needs to be patched.

I had a lad spam them in my last game(mainly Bale) in seasons and he could have scored FIVE bicycle kicks with the closest hitting the bar.
He nearly scored three from corners... Seems a bit farcical players taking corners out of the air.

In reality most would be air balls and especially a whipped corner

Can see this being a problem down the line.

RossieMan · 24-09-2018 6:06am

Suarez from SB rewards.

Almost outpacking you, jayo.

Sudden Valley · 24-09-2018 8:57am

Are their any tournaments for bronze and silver players this year- i missed the bronze and silver cups last year!

Lord TSC · 24-09-2018 9:51am

Anyone know wen the Division prizes are issued?

Scorpion Sting · 24-09-2018 9:52am

Morning folks. I have a question about Fifa 19. I pre-ordered the Ultimate edition through Gamestop a few months ago. Will I be able to go into the store tomorrow to pick up my copy or do I have to wait until Friday?

wonski · 24-09-2018 9:53am

Ultimate anf Champions can be collected tomorrow, or even just after midnight if they open.

Smyths opens at midnight tonight and on Thursday night.

So i havent played fifa since fifa 15 i think and downloaded the trial, well gone are the days when players started off with 55 - 65ovr bronze players with maybe a silver thrown in to, worked your way up from div.7 improving the team along the way, straight away i was met with an 85 -87 ovr team, only lost 3-1 and had more shots on target then my opponent had.

that went well by the wayside in the past few years..EA just got too greedy and so did us players. We were no longer content to just work our way up when we could just buy a few packs of gold players. As much as I hate EA we're as much to blame..

You are aware they will literally be just giving you a code on a receipt or piece of cardboard for the Ultimate Edition as it's download only right? So I suspect if you went in today any time they will hand it over.

RossieMan · 24-09-2018 11:48am

Kante. Pack luck is insane this year. Didn't pack anyone like this last year. Should have over 1 million coins just from doing the SBCs. Cost me around 50k.

You can download now and start playing after midnight. Just a little over 12 hours left to launch. Mine is downloading now

Correct yes, I downloaded it yesterday off PSN (the ultimate edition) and I can start playing from midnight tonight, it has a countdown time on the application tile.

Scorpion Sting · 24-09-2018 11:54am

Super, cheers guys.

Hogey007 · 24-09-2018 11:56am

I didn’t know any of that, is the champions edition the same? I have it preordered in GameStop. I thought I was getting a physical copy.

Champions Edition is physical copy don't worry. Only the Ultimate version is digital only, regardless of where you buy it

It might actually be the Champions Edition I pre-ordered now come to think of it.
