Did you Know? - Operation Sports Forums

FIFA, or EA FC, has garnered a huge loyal fan base throughout the years. While many purchase the game solely for the offline component, most of the player base consists of FUT players who play the game religiously. However, with FUT containing so many meticulous aspects, keeping up with it has become a full-time job.

From the extremely volatile market to the daily launched SBCs, there’s so much you need to keep track of; otherwise, you’ll become uncompetitive. This can make the game feel like a grind, rather than a playful experience. If you’re in the same boat, and your fingers are tired of scrolling through Twitter, Reddit, and FUTbin just to keep up, I’ve built something for you.

Say hello to FUTCast from Operation Sports, your one-stop shop for all things Ultimate Team. This is something that I really wished existed, so when no one else was creating it, I decided to do it myself. FUTCast is an all-in-one Ultimate resource built for the busy sports gamer. It’s something that makes sure you don’t have a million tabs open just to find the cheapest solution to the POTM SBC.

Instead, in less time than a division rivals match, it aims to deliver all the necessary information that a FUT player needs, right to their inbox. The goal is simple: I want to make EA FC Ultimate Team enjoyable again, just like it used to be. So, every Monday/Wednesday/Friday, expect a top-to-bottom recap of what’s happening in FUT, which will keep you competitive without burning your neurons.

The Newsletter will cover all bases, and here’s what you can expect to see in each issue:
- Market trends & price shifts — quick breakdowns of rising/falling cards and why.
- Promo and pack updates — what’s live, what’s coming, what’s worth your coins.
- SBC solutions & Evolutions — efficient completions, best upgrades, value advice.
- Buy/Sell/Hold calls — actionable weekly investment tips.
Now, you might be thinking, Why should you listen to me? Well, you don’t have to. But trust me, if someone handed me the sauce to unlock my Ultimate Team potential back when I was grinding FIFA 14, I would’ve happily accepted it, because I was spending 12+ hours on that game.

The entire point of FUTCast is to do all the digging for you, so you can spend your precious time playing the game instead of wasting it on gathering information. At Operation Sports, we’ve been doing this for a long time, and our entire community is built around that trust. The best part about it is that all of this will be curated by a die-hard FC player himself, and I don’t intend to let you down at all.

If you’re like me, and you’ve been searching long for something that fulfills all your FUT needs, it’s finally here. Check out the first Wednesday FUTCast issue now to get a taste of what’s to come; I covered everything related to the TOTW 5 drop, ratings reload team 2 leaks, and how the market is gonna change.

I hope you’re going to join me on this journey!

You can finish a 9 inning game in about 30 minutes by choosing FAST PLAY in the PRESENTATION menu.

Did you know players use pink bats on Mother's Day during Franchise/Season/RttS?

I do that all the time. I always pit the Mets against the Yankees.

The Binghamton Mets? Looks like the New York Mets are tough to beat so you face their AA team instead.

This is a good one but I'd prefer it were this way:

Did You Know...?
MLB:The Show celebrates many of the MLB promotional days in your franchise. Jackie Robinson Day where all players wear #42 in his honor, Mother's Day where players wear pink-colored accessories to promote Breast Cancer awareness and many more.

Did you know that in RTTS you dont have to run bases at all, or can only run them when you are the leadoff runner?

Did you know you can access your bullpen and any other managerial related options by pressing up on the d-pad?

Did you know you can influence the type of swing you put on a ball by flicking the right stick left, right, up or down pre-pitch in timing or zone hitting?

You don't need to hold down R2, it's been that way for zone and timing hitting since I've started playing MLB 2006.

Originally posted by Mabster

I guess we'll have to disagree then. I've also played the game since '06 and there's been lots of control changes since then.

I guess I find it odd then that when you move just the right stick, you get no feedback, but when you hold down R2 and do it you get a rumble confirmation. Even more odd that the in game controls says to hold R2.

Russell from SCEA, can you please say which is true? I have heard it both ways, and also that it NOW has no effect at all. What is correct?

I've always just flicked the stick without holding down on R2 (which is for guess pitch and location) and always got feedback on it. Up to try to lift a fly ball, down to hit it on the ground, left to pull as a RH hitter, right to go the other way.

Oh well, no biggie if I'm wrong.

I admit, MIKEY93's post about Mother's Day led to mine about Jackie Robinson Day. I figure our job is to plant the seeds, Russell and the rest of The Show crew can grow it properly to fit their project.

Did you know if you simulate all other games for the day, when you play your franchise's game you will receive in-game updates from around the league?

Re: Did you Know?

Did you know:

The control button scheme for pickoffs is based on the chosen pitching camera:

Pitching from the catcher cam it is L2 + circle for a pickoff to first, L2 + triangle to second and L2 + square to third.

Pitching from the pitcher or outfield camera it is L2 + Square for a pickoff to first, L2 + X to second and L2 + Circle to third

Re: Did you Know?

(When Batting) DYK that you can trigger warm-up swing animations by pressing up/forward with R3 when the at-bat resets (you have to press "up" at the very beginning of each pitch cycle).

Does anyone know how to trigger the shake-off animation when pitching?

Certainly! All the franchise special dates should be listed.

This actually makes me think it should happen before that actual date or listed in the calendar somehow.

Good back and forth!

Re: Did you Know?

- Did you know that you can mix the classic bunting and analog hitting interfaces?

This saved me from inadvertent bunt attempts when I get fooled by a pitch but still wants to foul it off. This kind of obscure niceties are always good to be pointed out...

- Did you know that the roller coaster behind the J.M. Field is the fastest in North America?

I bet everyone riding that thing puke afterwards.

Did you know that a player on a cold streak at the MLB level will have it cancelled if you send him to the minors?
