Just put the game in. Seems the same as before. About to build my ultimate team. Any tips or noticeable differences?

9/23/2014 7:18:49 PM

Messi. Messi everywhere.

Fucking loans.

[Edited on September 23, 2014 at 7:27 PM. Reason : Division 10 and teams full of Messi, Bale and Ronaldo. Yay.]

9/23/2014 7:27:36 PM

Is there a way to play a season or career or whatever as a whole club as opposed to an individual player?

9/23/2014 7:50:13 PM

manager mode on career

9/23/2014 10:36:00 PM

^^^
at first and second glance, that's a terrible, terrible design-flaw.

9/23/2014 10:38:41 PM

Hows it a design flaw. Division has nothing to do with team rating.

9/23/2014 11:17:49 PM

if I can build a team consisting of all the best players in the world, and use that team at all levels of online competition (which is how I understand the feature to work) then that's a design flaw, for me.

'cuz then everybody just builds team containing all the best players, and, I dunno, I like it when you're limited to the available teams. if you can build your own team via loans, then the starting squads are kinda superfluous.

again, my view. (that this new feature fucking sucks.)

9/23/2014 11:28:43 PM

You are only ever matched against teams of similar rating. Also, its not easy to build a high rated team. If someone does so from the start its because they spent a lot of actual money buying fifa points. My team is 75 and the highesst rated team they let me face was 79. That has nothing to do with what division youre in. A shitty team with a few superstars will stilll have a fairly low rating though soaybe thats what youre talking about.

9/24/2014 6:35:03 AM

I got no pack luck this year :-(

I built a Bundesliga team with mostly 75-76 non-rare players. Got Farfan and Firmino to supplement for now. Use the 1000 coin modifier thing for each UT game if you can... Helps a lot early on.

Long shots seem to be ridiculously overpowered this year. Messi's were firing in goals from the center line against me

[Edited on September 24, 2014 at 7:26 AM. Reason : Loans are only for a set # of games and can't be repeated. ]

9/24/2014 7:25:30 AM

You could just not play in the FUT mode online.

9/24/2014 7:30:21 AM

this all seems really complicated. maybe i won't get this game after all.

9/24/2014 8:30:02 AM

Through six online games I have yet to play a team other than Real or FCB and have yet to be scored on by anyone but Ronaldo and Messi. Dumb.

9/24/2014 8:41:34 AM

It's not.. and Ultimate Team is just one game mode.

9/24/2014 8:41:42 AM

looks like they removed the loan feature already. either that or i just don't know where to find it.

9/24/2014 10:45:05 PM

League mode in Fifa 11 made my college experience. Haven't played a Fifa since

Can someone who has this tell me if the 2v2 is back?

[Edited on September 25, 2014 at 11:26 AM. Reason : and by 2v2, can any 4 friends play each other. ]

9/25/2014 11:22:36 AM

^they took that shit out?

Man playing video games with friends is the only good thing about video games. Fuck some online shit. Its no fun if you can't throw shit at the other people when they're taking free kicks

I'm Krallum and I approved this message.

9/25/2014 12:08:03 PM

Yes they removed it from Fifa 14 and made some stupid shit called Co-op seasons (2 friends vs 2 random ppl online).

My friends and I found a way around it if you change the matchmaking settings to match each other's settings and then select two equally rated teams. However, it took a REALLY LONG TIME to get that accomplished and sometimes it doesn't work. It's a huge pain in the ass and if Fifa 15 didn't add that back, I won't buy another version until they do. EA is so fucking stupid.

9/25/2014 12:18:55 PM

Yeah I don't remember the last EA game I thought was 'worth' $60 or whatever.

I'm Krallum and I approved this message.

9/25/2014 12:25:31 PM

Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare is an EA game and is great. $40.

9/25/2014 12:26:41 PM

must be nice to have 3 close friends with similar schedules who all play fifa. You are definitely rare to have that and that sounds awesome but they make the game to cater towards the average gamer who might have 1 close friend who plays fifa and has a similar schedule.

9/25/2014 12:51:14 PM

I don't think the average gamer fits the 1 friend category. The average gamer is 14 years old...

I have a group of friends that plays anything 4 player co-op but Fifa had this option in previous releases and removed it for this bullshit in Fifa 14.

regardless, there is absolutely no reason they can't do both modes



[Edited on September 25, 2014 at 12:59 PM. Reason : EA still sucks ass.]

they want you to spend $$$ playing online, so they don't allow you to play locally

they have a hateful, but very good reason

9/25/2014 2:18:16 PM

You can still play locally in Fifa 14. I'm talking about playing 2v2 over xbox live without going through matchmaking bullshit.

9/25/2014 4:37:55 PM

oic. carry on.

Played a guy that had every one of the best BPL players and won with my team full of Spanish 75 rates guys. How the hell can someone afford what was like a $5mm team already??

9/26/2014 9:13:39 AM

idk if everyone knows this or not, but if you're playing FUT, try and log in to the web app once a day. it gives you a free mini-pack just for logging in.

9/26/2014 11:05:17 AM

is anyone playing this on Next Gen consoles? or mostly PS3/360?

9/26/2014 11:20:48 AM

^^^
that doesn't sound possible unless you were playing some sort of friendly. In seasons or tournaments they always match you with similarly rated teams. I plaed half of last year with my rating in the 70s and never played a team 5 ratings better than mine.

unless you are exaggerating "best" because some very popular players like bernard and giroud are rated pretty low. A lot of the notable bpl players are rated in the upper 70s.

9/26/2014 2:32:50 PM

<---xbox one

9/26/2014 4:37:39 PM

I haven't played 15, but in 14 I feel pretty certain the matchmaking system was a combination of team rating and player skill level. I would sometimes get matched against someone with an insane team, but would quickly discover they were utter shit and likely just spent a bunch of money up front to buy good players.

9/27/2014 11:41:11 PM

If EA can successfully get rid of the coin sellers and bots, then maybe the commoner will have a chance at buying good players again.

I remember when Zlatan affordable

9/28/2014 8:54:53 AM

Honestly the Web app being down is great. With a bit of patience I'm finding great deals.

9/29/2014 9:46:59 AM

I haven't had any luck with packs this year. I'm actually really pissed off about it.

9/29/2014 10:29:20 AM

I got Sturridge, Nasri and Gary Cahill in packs last night, as well as Enner Valencia.

9/29/2014 2:14:17 PM

Do you do them in sequence or is that just one pack?

I got Cahill yesterday but i spent at least 20 dollars to do it.

9/29/2014 2:54:10 PM

cahill and nasri were in the same pack

the others were separate packs

9/29/2014 3:12:29 PM

the refs still suck shit

9/30/2014 7:26:14 PM

Anyone else having a problem with the game saying you "aren't in sync with the online game" and then cutting off when you're playing online? It's happening more and more to me.

9/30/2014 8:44:48 PM

^You might need to contact your isp about "opening ports".

I never had luck with packs this year or last year. I once got a blue sturridge and then sold him for 100k and spent that 100k on packs and didn't get any players as good as him again. i only made like 30k off the 100k in packs.

9/30/2014 10:43:37 PM

Damn. I have never gotten anything over gold in 2 years.

10/1/2014 8:32:23 AM

i got an international man of the match Torres in Fifa 12

http://www.futwiz.com/en/player/fernando-torres/9874/history/fifa12

[Edited on October 1, 2014 at 8:55 AM. Reason : that card was completely amazing, i sold him after 1 game for ~550k]

10/1/2014 8:54:52 AM

I got a gold Özil last night, not worth much(35K) but shored up my midfield.

10/2/2014 9:27:43 AM

I haven't played FIFA online in a while. Is online seasons the only way to play online vs people?

10/2/2014 6:19:09 PM

I just wanted to say the chemistry system is bullshit and really limits creativity when building teams unless you are building a national team or a team full of players from the same club. There should be a way to improve chemistrry through playing guys next to each other for multiple seasons.

10/2/2014 6:33:12 PM

If they play for ten games with you or you pack them the loyalty bonus helps.

Also if you can build any team with perfect chemistry between any two players (same team and nationality) hybrids become easier to have 100 chemistry.

10/2/2014 8:06:49 PM

so i think it kind of defeats the point of "ultimate team" to a certain degree if most of the players on your squad are already on a real team.

10/2/2014 9:37:41 PM

^yep, right now I have a 80 level tam with only 82 chemistry.

[Edited on October 2, 2014 at 10:13 PM. Reason : edit]

i cannot recommend Eduardo Vargas highly enough if you're using a BPL squad

14 goals, 3 assists in 9 games for me
