Official FUT Thread

[VTPack919]

Well, as you guys may or may not know I am a huge fan of Ultimate Team on Fifa (can't stand it in any other EA game for some reason). I just wanted to make this thread so that we could keep an open dialogue going for FUT 14.

I also wanted to let you guys know about www.futhead.com, if you didn't already know. It is a great website that breaks down every player in FUT, including their stats that you can only find in game. They have a great tool on there for team building if you would like to put something up on the drawing board before splashing some coins around.

I made this Greek team on that website today. They look like a fun squad to use.

Also the new team of the week is pretty great. They have players like Alaba, Aguero, and the card I can't wait to grab Leighton Baines.

Re: Official FUT Thread

Agree whole-heartedly on the EA Ultimate Team games being sub par to FIFA. They just know what they are doing. If Madden had a guy come over from FIFA to just help on some stuff they would have a great game every year instead of some re-hashed meidocre game. My internet at home is currently out since we were "borrowing" it from neighbors. Think they got wise and changed the password. I may be without it for sometime since we are in the process of getting a new place.

Sounds good to me. Hopefully you can snag that Aguero. He would be a monster.

I built a pretty solid English team in 13, but now I have to decide who I want to roll with in 14. Anyone have any good formation choices? That's usually how I start out, by picking a formation and then filling in the blanks.

Re: Official FUT Thread

Hey everyone, I'm relatively new to FUT. Just looking for tips. I don't want to spend real money to buy packs, I'd rather grind it out. How I've built my team so far is to have sections of my squad be from the same country/club and rotate those groupings so they are constantly fit. Is this a good method? What should I strive for?
Also what's the best way to get coins? I prefer offline to online but I'm open for suggestions.

Thanks

Re: Official FUT Thread

Been playing around. Started my regular rotation of teams; United States/MLS, Premier League "All-Stars" (lower end stars since I can't afford the big timers), Bundesliga 2, Bundesliga, Polish, nPower League 1, nPower League 2, and so I have something to play with now, the starter team until I win a few tournaments and build up a solid team, or drop a few bucks on some packs and hopefully sell off a few of the guys I won't use.

Really focused on getting the USMNT, or my version of it, and my Premier League teams built up. I'll build a silver and bronze team to complete some tournaments.

Haven't even touched a CM yet, which is what I'm really excited about, but I'll stick with FUT since it's a lot of fun.

You're on the right track for building. Typically, your team should all share the same team, nationality, and at minimum, league, to take advantage of the bonuses. So your approach is to have as many green arrows around. Make sure your positions are spot on. That will save you a lot of hassle.

Regarding coins, the best way is to play online because you get way more coins than offline - even if you lose. Just don't quit or forfeit. You can still play offline, but online is the way to go to earn coins fast.

The other thing to make money though is to constantly search for deals on the transfer market and buy them and resell them at a higher price. If you can buy some of the consumables for low and resell them higher, you will make easy money fast.

I'm on PS3 guys and so far, I'm building gold Prem and Bundesliga teams. My prem team is average, while thanks to some nice packs, I got some nice pieces for my Bundesliga team. I also bought Gotze tonight and will have him playing as a striker to take advantage of his pace. I still have 7,650 points plus the 2 packs a week from season ticket and preorder.

I'm playing 4-2-3-1 with no wingers and built a German focused team. It helped that I got guys like Alaba from packs and filled in the blanks through the AH

Re: Official FUT Thread

I hate VTPack and everything this thread stands for.

That being said... This mode is pretty fun. I feel kinda dirty because I traded a bunch of unused game keys (thanks, plenty of old humble bundles) to a friend who gave some FIFA coins or whatever the stuff people buy is called.

I will say that it is in no way easier. If any of you are on PC and play this mode you should add me - also if you are looking for any certain cards. I have a ton of cards (still missing a bunch of big names) but don't have an issue giving some of them away to cool people here that will actually use them and not try to just take me for a profit.

Edit: Forgot to put my name in. On PC it's ubernoobNTH .

Lost a close one right now. Sadly. He went up 1-0 on a mistake by me (the cursor auto changed and I accidentally dragged my CB out of position leaving the middle of the box open). I responded at the 80' mark and he got in a quick cross goal (CB whiffed) at the 82' mark. Suarez strayed BARELY offside that took away the sure equalizer from me. Heartbreaking. Was a very good match though.

I'm now 3-1-2 in Division 10, with 10 points. 2 more for the "title" boost (Yay coins) with 4 games remaining.

Spoilered for size.
