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:
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!
Edited and Updated, summary of bugs/issues posted in this thread. (12:58AM 3/3/10) -Player Arm Strength's are too over-powering, they should be toned down, everyone has a cannon arm. -You can still intentionally hit batter after batter and not get warned/ejected. -Player of the Game seems to be very hit & miss. Player are being awarded that had no bearing on the outcome of the game -Stealing is difficult still. You have to run on breaking balls only and take a 3 step lead in order to steal successfully. While stealing generally works fine; it will be difficult for casual gamers. Also the CPU does not seem to take much of a lead, but yet steals with ease. -When playing online, can we remove the max pitch sound effect so that the opponent batting can't hear every time you do a max pitch. Heck, remove the sound all together, it's not really needed. -There is sometimes an online issue when starting ranked matches where a user cannot start the game. This problem is in NBA2K10 as well. -We have no way of viewing a players potential when trading or during the draft for franchise mode. We absolutely need this if you plan on building a small market clubs. -Players still run through each other on the way to and inside the dugout at times. -Still to easy to pick someone off at 2nd. (or be picked off) Pick offs should be much more difficult for both the user and CPU. -The "walk rating" for most everyone is still "D-" in inside edge. I know this is cosmetic, but should be fixed none the less. -You cannot negotiate contract extension in franchise mode. When someone has 1 year left on a contract you should be able to talk extensions with them. -Signature styles get cut off. Signature style batter movement after a swing or a ball are cut short short by a flash across the screen. -There is no way to turn off the "Auto Save" feature in franchise mode. Or the auto save feature in general cannot be turned off. -Players are still reverting to a generic bald appearance during game on the field sometimes. For example is edit mode Boof Bonser of the Red Sox has a goatee and tan skin to match his real life pitcure. But on the field he is pale white bald with no goatee.
