    Re: NBA Live 15: Ultimate Team Thread

    Ultimate team twitter just confirmed it,

    Breakaway Packs are your best chance to score one of this weeks Legends Clyde Drexler and Lenny Wilkens before they're gone tomorrow. #LIVE


    Boo. This sucks. I just don't see how this is going to work. I bought 3 breakaway packs last night and every card, 5 golds per pack, every gold was a duplicate.

    With a limit of 30 on your sell pile, and with the sell pile being as glitchy as I have ever seen in an ultimate team mode, there is no reason to buy another pack.

    Because, if you get dupes and your sell list is full you have only one option, quick sell.

    When I search all gold cards and I go through what's out there I am only missing a few of the extremely pricey cards, the ones that don't come out of the packs frequently.

    Basically as you build your collection, and the 400 item limit is too small as well. Look at FIFA ultimate team, is there a limit? I have never hit it if there is, in 4 or 5 years of playing that ultimate team mode, but as you build, you will run into this duplicate card issue much sooner than later.

    And when you do, it kills any reason to buy a pack.

    So do the math. If they release 2 legends at a time, and only have them available for a week, and if I have almost all the golds that are coming out of these packs, why would I want to risk opening a pack when A) the odds are terrible for getting a legend, B) the odds are terrific for getting a dupe that I can only quicksell.

    Bottom line, a smart decision by EA would be to release more cards in general, to release more legends at once and to not stop making prior releases of legends sell out.

          Could someone explain to the me the "fancy" and green coach and arena cards? I just started this and I've never done an ultimate team before. I really like it and looking at the auction house is kind of addicting.

          Also, what's the point of the logos? I saw a guy on PS4 post R. Rubio for 799,000 with a buyout of 800,000...wtf~?

            Whoever did that is just fishing for suckers. Its uncool. They are hoping someone thinks he is ultra rare.

            Fifa ultimate team is riddled with that.

            Its completely "fair" to do that but its fritata.

              Logos are just for vintage looks for your team on the presentation screens, and it's kind of half-arsed if you ask me. I think it's really cool that they have tons of vintage team logos in the game, but without the option to use them on court is kinda of lame. They should of made a couple of generic arenas, or at least put classic floors in the game to place those logos on. Your able to match with vintage jerseys (good luck finding any though). The announcers will also say the names too ie; "The Kansas City Kings call thier second time out", or "The Milwaukee Hawks are up by six!". But there is a glitch that I caught last night.

              I have the Milwaukee Hawks (1950's) logo, and trying to get the red Milwaukee jerseys home and away (aheemm... anyone got them?) Anyhow, when I called a time out, I caught the announcer saying "Atlanta takes a timeout". So they miss linked a sound-byte.

                  Serious? Hopefully someone has Mitch or Timin suction because iI'm not wasting anymore more money on this mode just to get duplicates.

                  I know its only week 2 but morellegends need to be released!!!!!;;; also hope they don'twait as long as tthey did last year to receive team packs.


                  What ever happened to the free packs for 10,weeks BTW?

                    Yeah Nick, this mode is all jacked up. My sell list is wrecked.

                    I cant tell who is up for sale, how long or for how much because of the lut glitch, they dont move to the selling with no bids tab. The just look like an expired posting on the sell tab.

                    There is a dearth of silver or bronze cards.

                    I too have a ton of gold middle of the road cards, the cards that fly out of the gold packs. So nothing but dupes are gained when opening gold packs.

                    2 legends at a time is ridiculous.

                    And where are those gold lut packs? I think tuesday is the day we are supposed to get them.

                      I just posted a nate robinson at 1 day but he isnt in my selling list.

                      I also got a green brad stevens out of the pack you get for winning the new orleans tourney.

                      I posted him for sale at 1 day and he isnt in my selling list either.

                      Everything in my selling list cant be posted. Oh I can punch in a value and a time and post it, but it just says updating and the item remains in my waiting to be sold pile.

                      I can buy with no problem, just cant sell anything.
                      Could you elaborate more on the glitch?


                      Got $15 dollars free from psn n blew it on duplicates smh.

                      Anyways just going to stack coins for oippen and Lebron

                        Re: NBA Live 15: Ultimate Team Thread

                        Yeah the glitch. You post someone first time, works no problem, they might even go from the sell list to the selling with no bids list.

                        If nobody buys the card, when you go to repost it, it doesnt move out of your sell pile. Where did it go? Who knows?

                        Because it stays in the sell pile but is also listed.

                        Listed where? Who knows?

                        So lets say you posted a card at 1000 buy now and 6 hours.

                        You better remember that.

                        Because with the card still sitting in the sell pile you may be tempted to try to repost it. You know, if you have more than 2 cards to sell.

                        If you repost it and it was already out there Lut disconnects you.

                        I have so many dupes from buying packs, I have 23 cards for sale.

                        In a perfect world where things worked, all 23 would be in the selling with no bids tab.

                        But here is where it gets crazy.

                        Lets say I post carmelo, burke, bosh, thompson, irving, nash and dirk

                        When I go look at my selling with no bids list I see

                        Burke, bosh, nash and dirk.

                        Where are melo and irving? They are still in the sell list. With 12 other cards that have been up but are now in the sell pile.

                        To make it all even more confusing, when i go look at the selling with no bids tab it changes. Sometimes I see 5 of my cards for sale, soetimes i see 4 different cards up there.

                        It makes it very odd to post a rare klay thompson and then not be able to find him while he is for sale. Did he go away?

                        Luckily the cards always come back but still, this is making selling as complicated as this post is.

                          The buy list is still jacked up.

                          I went to the trusty pen and paper and just wrote down all my posted amounts and time.

                          Is this really next gen gaming?

                          Anyway, some nice scores, gerald green for 500, chandler parsons for 450, dj augustin for 350.

                          Cant wait to use that g green and his 95 dunk
