Three Reasons for Career Mode Players to Try Ultimate Team in FIFA 16

Re: Three Reasons for Career Mode Players to Try Ultimate Team in FIFA 16

I haven't seen the biggest reason NOT to play FUT yet (at least for me)...





You can't change game speed or sliders on offline FUT. So it is truly a different game if you get used to making some settings changes in your CM. Also I am highly skeptical that FUT is wired the same as Default Normal to begin with. Whoever just said it is two different teams working on the two modes lends some validity to that theory....





(Really frustrates me too, because I WANT to enjoy FUT and I even shelled out the extra $10 for the deluxe version to get weekly packs... I can't believe I fell for that!)

Weird that they don't let you change the half length in offline matches. I swear that was possible in some previous versions of FIFA. Maybe they think you'll play on beginner difficulty with 20 minute halves and earn too many precious coins by scoring 50 goals or something.

That's another I dislike about UT. You earn so few coins for each match, and a decent gold pack is 15k coins. Not that you're going to pull anything in those packs anyway...

Also, playing offline UT seasons, you start from the bottom difficulty. Which means playing tons of matches on professional and lower, and winning 8-0 over and over just to be promoted to divisions that give a decent reward. Same with offline UT cups. That is extremely boring.

Anyone with a differing viewpoint than mine is wrong and is an fut apologist!



Aside from fut draft, the mode has had minimal changes over the last 4 years. There are also two different teams that work on fut and career mode.


He says, before calling people who play it 10 year olds and those who support it apologists. You also don't have a very good understanding of the word apologist.



Good stuff here. Not a good point or particularly insightful, but still good.

Let us agree at least on one thing. We all have our own opinion. So you can dissect my comments all you want. Read whatever meaning you want to each sentence if that makes you sleep better. Especially assuming that am calling others 10 years old. Iwas only referring to myself and what am not. Also you can enlighten me what an apologist is.
Now to the FUT vs CM discussion, whether or not there are different teams working on both mode I still believe EA should spend more effort on CM mode. Again my opinion don't say am forcing this down your throat.

You can't increase the half lengths but you can increase the difficulty levels.

Also, is it true that FUT gamespeed for online matches is set to FAST? I read elsewhere that if you pause during a game you'll see it's set to fast. True?

I think you'll find little argument from anyone on this subject.

This is true, but there are a few ways to can get around this. First off, never buy packs unless you just enjoy the thrill of opening them. Like you said, you're almost guaranteed to be wasting your coins with packs, especially when 15k gets you an excellent player (or two) on the market. Hell, I've built entire squads with 100 chem for less than 10k.

Second, use the Catalogue to redeem coin boosts. Most players have a surplus of FCC to begin with, spending them on coin boosts nets you up to 1,000 extra per match. Not bad.

Third, play the complimentary FUT Draft they give you. I am not a huge fan of this mode but I did get Iniesta just for trying it out. Again, not bad.

There absolutely is a way to get great players from FUT without spending actual cash. It's the strict gameplay requirements (short halves, quick match speed) that are making this mode less and less appealing to me.
