Ultimate Team

Re: Ultimate Team

I won my first head to head online game, and received a whopping 143 coins... it will take me years to get a decent team if thats the rate that coins are awarded, do other modes reward them in larger quantities?

Yes, regular ranked / unranked games yield the hundred and something coins while if you play MUT games vs. human or CPU you can get 1000 plus per game.

Re: Ultimate Team

143 coins? Something must be bugged. I played my second game of MUT, this time against the computer using custom sliders and it was counted as an all-pro game. My team is a 71 OVR right now, so I played against an evenly match KC Chiefs. I used custom sliders and the game was counted as All-Pro. I used 15min quarters and lost 24-20. I earned a little over 600 coins.

It was a lot of fun, but very frustrating at the same time. My starting HB is only a 66 OVr with like 65 carry. He fumbled twice and dropped two key third down passes without getting hit. I was using coach mode [auto passing] and three times Matt Lienart [whom I bought to improve my team for around 3,500 coins] launched the ball deep to D. Hayward-Bay who dropped two and didn't try for the third. All of those passes could have been scores. It felt realistic as two evenly matched "bad" teams played a game that came down to the wire.

However, as others have said, I don't get the impression that you earn enough coins to really build an "ultimate team." I mean, sure I have some contract extensions laying around to resign Matt Leinart [gold tier QB] and a few other "key" players, but after that I don't know how things are going to work out, or what the "optimal" method is for improving your team.

I am guessing you are "supposed" to try and only use contract extensions on your "star players" and use the coins you earn to buy bronze and silver packs at first to gain more contract extension cards and players to fill out your roster as contracts expire, and sell cards for coins in the auction house. then, as you accumulate coins, you can bid on additional stars or buy platinum/ultimate packs to try and add more "stars" to your team. In the end, if I play my cards right [pun intended] I should be able to grow my team over time along with accumulating coins. I will be playing the computer from now on though for sure. I could care less if I win or lose against the computer, as long as it remains fun.

Re: Ultimate Team

Has this one happened to anybody else here?

I played MUT H2H on 3 separate occasions, went 2-1. But at the end of all the games, the screen just kind of went black. You could still hear everything, it just totally froze. I don't think they were quitting, because it happened on the game I lost, and the guy even messaged me "gg".

But other than that, I'm addicted to this mode.

Re: Ultimate Team

Three questions:

1. What happens when a guys contract expires? Can you keep him with a contract of 0 and decide to give him a new contract later or if his contract hits 0 is the card not usable anymore?

2. When renewing a guy's contract... say he has a game left on his contract and you give him a 6 game deal... do the games add up to 7 or just 6 overall?

3. What is the highest rated player card you have on your team? I'm wondering if the real star player cards are even out there. I wasted coins on the top tier pack and got no one over 90. No big name players.

1. No clue, I have four games to go before my whole team expires and I dont have enough $$$ for contract cards.

2. I did try this and it adds on to what is left so if he has one game left and he gets six more it will say he has seven left.

3. I am thinking EA is controlling the release of the cards, with the exception of the Doritos cards I havnt seen a real "star card" either nor do I believe I have seen any rookie cards.

1. You can keep him in your deck and decide to renew him later

2. /\ /\

3. James Butler, an 80 safety. Also Zach Miller, TE with an 83 rating, as well as J. Hardwig, a C rated 81.


I've completed 3 sets, and almost have a couple more. But as far as player cards go, quality ones are definitely few and far between. Most effective and economical way to maintain a team for me is to almost do a complete reverse of your depth chart. Use up the contract games and earn coins with your scrubs, while replenishing them with cheap packs and the occasional platinum to upgrade your team. Fill out your easy collections for a nice coin boost, and after you're done with that, auction off your doubles. I bought a gold pack and pulled a stadium card that I sold for 2500 and a uniform card that I sold for 2000. Almost paid for the whole pack.

Re: Ultimate Team

Just pulled these from an Ultimate pack. Cost: 21,000 coins.

CB Richard Marshall, Panthers, 82 OVR
C Justin Hartwig, Steelers, 81 OVR (Got doubles now, gonna use 1 up and collect it)
QB Vince Young, Titans, 79 OVR
RG Roberto Garza, Bears, 79 OVR
WR Kevin Walter, Texans 78 OVR
RE Jarvis Green, Broncos 78 OVR
LOLB Bryan Thomas, Jets 77 OVR
DT Colin Cole, Seahawks 76 OVR
Dolphins Away Uni (Gone through a couple of these now)
Panthers Stadium (Got tons of these already)
Pats D Playbook
Gold Contract Extension


I would probably have to call that the best pack I've ever had, sadly enough.

Re: Ultimate Team

Rookie cards will be out in in week 1

Re: Ultimate Team

I am playing another MUT game. I am using custom sliders which you can find in the sliders sub-forum [my thread.] I won an auction for Run DMC [Darren McFadden] last night to help improve my rushing attack. 15min quarters.

At the end of the 1st quarter of play the score was tied 0-0. 27 offensive plays.

At the end of the half, the score was 13-7 MUT over the Raiders. 58 offensive plays.

At the end of 3, the score was 16-14 MUT over the Raiders. 87 offensive plays.

The final was 26-14 MUT over the Raiders. 117 total offensive plays.

Stats so far

Passing
M. Leinart 21/34 333 yards 2TD 2INT
J. Campbell 17/25 202 yards 2TD 1INT

Rushing
[MUT]
D.McFadden 29 carries for 95 yards
G. Robinson 2 carries for -1 yard

[OAK]
D. McFadden 12 carries for 42 yards
M. Bush 7 carries for 22 yards
J. Campbell 2 carries for 6 yards
C. Schilens 1 carry for 0 yards

Campbell was sacked 5 times, three of which were him being brought down as he tried to scramble.

OAK was 5/12 on 3rd down while MUT was 7/16.

OAK had a ToP of 25:18 while MUT had the ball for 34:42

I ended up earning 808 coins for this game. Upgrading my QB from C. Batch to Matt Leinart and my HB from some 66OVR guy to Run DMC has made a world of difference in how my team plays. Well worth biding those players in the auction house thus far.

Re: Ultimate Team

Nothing wrong with that, I am a bit concerned with some of the prices, Im going to buy a plat pack when I get on in a little bit and see what happens :/

Re: Ultimate Team

Just did another code and got a 99 Drew Brees, 97 Sean Payton and another gold Injury

Re: Ultimate Team

Is there a way just to give someone your cards? I stupidly decided to try and play MUT. Online is unplayable for me (I live in Australia) and I don't want to have the trouble of working around with contracts and selling players that might not even get a bid. Managed to sell Koppen from the New England Patriots, but I don't think anyone else I have will be able to sell (except Kampman).

Any answers on this?

You can do the doritos code three times and the target code once.

Any answers on this?

My assumption is you cannot


Jut bought my plat pack and besides a better kicker nothing WOW about it except the price I paid for that pack.
