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!
Ishii (1-1, 3.00) gave another great performance as he pitched 7 solid innings while giving up only 1 run, but the bullpen, as they have been doing lately, let the game slip away. Paul Shuey (0-1, 4.26) gave up a two out, two run double to the always dangerous Barry Bonds that proved to be the game winner. Shuey’s pitch was a 2-2 fastball with first base open. “I thought I could sneak a fastball up and away on Barry, but his hands are so quick that he was able to shoot it in the gap. I suppose I could have wasted a pitch, but I wanted to announce my presence with authority,” Shuey said after the loss. When Bonds heard of Shuey’s quote, he just laughed, “Announce his what?” 
Kerry Wood (1-2, 3.90) pitched 7 inning, 4 runs, 6 hits and 5 K’s. All of the runs he gave up were in the first 3 inning in which 3 of the runs were scored on home runs. “I just didn’t hit my spots the first few innings,” Wood said after the game. “I gave a couple meat balls up to Snow and Benard and they hammered 
both pitches over the wall. However, I don’t feel I pitched that bad of a game to get the loss. I think 4 runs is a very reasonable amount of runs to give up and still be in the ball game. Our hitting is so horrendous, that our pitchers almost have to pitch a shutout every game!” Wood is not far from the truth. All nine of the Dodgers hits were singles and the only RBI of the game came from Darryl Ward pinch hitting for Wood in the bottom of the 7th. The Dodgers 2-6 hitters (Thurston, Green, Jordan, LoDuca and McGriff) went a combined 0-20.
