Why No Double XP or Coins for UT EA??

[Boiler569]

Except for one unannounced 'beta test' like a month and a half ago (?) there hasn't been any sort of Double XP or Double Coins type of special event for UT. Why?

I play a few free-to-play games (such as World of Warships; yes I'm a nerd I love it) --- and they all had x2 x3 or even x5 Special Events this past weekend. And those games are 110% based off of Pay To Win type models!

Where in theory this game has that as an 'auxiliary' source of income --- I don't know the numbers but I'm sure microtransactions make up less than 20% of Total Revenue for this game (??)

Regardless....I think EA missed the boat on this....in a way the Live Event Competitions make up for it since those were really fun and provided prizes, but i just think they should have tried running a few of these specials, or even 25% discounts in the store, etc, might have kept a few players around for a bit longer.

I am glad they're doing the 5-hour free trial; good idea; but once you GET new players you have to try and KEEP them or get them more invested

(and no I'm honestly not being that selfish about this hahaha sure I want the bonus, but this is just a general opinion and mostly from an objective point of view lol)

TBF I don't know of any UT mode that gives as much freebies and the chance to earn extra coins/packs as much as this game already offers.

We have daily rewards
Daily challenges
Live and fantasy events pretty much weekly

You don't get that anywhere else.

Some people are just never happy

Any new players to UT will be unpleasantly greeted by a bunch of low life CAF deleting POS losers who only care about farming coins. Yes, I just said that.

Yes I'm aware of that.

Doesn't change the point I was making.

you make a couple good points....

....but I don't think they don't totally outweigh the points I made, either

So I win





I see no reason why EA didn't run SOME sort of small special (even 10% off; or +10% coins; etc) for the LONG holiday weekend (and yes I know not all customers are from USA but I'd expect about 2/3rds are)

Especially w/ UFC 200 coming up

ehhh oh well, as I noted, they did do some cool things with LEC, and as you note, they do have Daily Objectives and Video Ads (for some people), so it aint like they didn't try at all

[DarceChoke]

Re: Why No Double XP or Coins for UT EA??

Forgot about the Ads too. Just loaded up the game and was greeted by one

Seriously though, they're most likely gonna throw us offers and free stuff from time to time. With what we already get daily for nothing, I'm more than happy with that. Like I said, it's 10 times what something like Fifa UT gives you.


The thread title would have you believe we've never gotten anything.

Re: Why No Double XP or Coins for UT EA??

yes they give away a few coins here and there with adds and your 500 daily coins but half the time adds dont work and dailys dont register and all the other stuf combined is not more that a few K in coins and these are nice and helpfull but game modes like this need to treat all holidays like promos

and if they can put in special packs for some random fighters b-day they have time to do something special for a holiday hell even madden is still doing things for its people and its new game comes out in a few weeks

Re: Why No Double XP or Coins for UT EA??

Dailies is 3k coins, for a match you get around 450 tops. Ads don't play in every region so you'll miss out on 1k, and Live events depend on how well you perform. Not that much when you try to get a 72k card. I had to buy UFC points to lock that card in because there's no way I'll get that much in 10 hours. Dailies are harder to get too because everyone is deleting, yes that includes me. Pretty hard to get wins when everyone Div4 and up has 97 standup with max height and reach

In Fifa it takes 20 mins roughly with replays/subs/stalling/general BS to play a match and earn 450 coins, providing the game doesnt go to extra time. You're potentially talking 1500 coins per hour of game time and then a rubbish pack sets you back 7500 coins!

You mention the 10 hour grind to 72k .. well imagine the grind to a 700k Ronaldo Card when your options are Fifa points and playing matches... thats a different grind all together. Yes Fifa, has a transfer market where you can earn coins through trading, but it's really only a small number of hardcore players that ever really make the most out of it (especially now with price ranges) and most people end up losing money due to tax, or breaking even overall.

You dont get daily incentives, free daily coins or potential ads either.

As far as UFC... 450 coins tops for a fight is just straight up lies. You can earn upto a thousand for a decision or atleast 600 for a dominant performance. If you played for an hour you'd easily make 5 times the amount of coins than any other UT mode I've played.

If you cant get enough Live events points to even get a Ronda pack from doing the play rewards, then I don't know what to tell you.

I'm mid way through div 4 with 3 of my fighters rated between 79-82. Not finding it so difficult and certainly not running into 97's all day.

To summarise...

This isn't aimed at anyone in particular and I appreciate I'm coming off as some EA fan boy, but seriously, if you've played any other UT mode, you must appreciate how easy it is to gain coins compared to others. There is cheesing, exploiting and unbalanced matching in every game, but people here talk like it's exclusive to this game. Everyone loves to moan and pick at everything. nothing is ever said about the positives. Have you really been playing this game for 18 weeks and hating every minute of it? Because no one ever talks about the good.


Seriously, UFC isn't so bad.

how come you didn't include the seasons bonus which can get you like 15k?

And defo get banned. They aint playing this year.

You get 15k if you win the Div 1 title. Not many people ever do that.
Mid range division is 4-5 depending where you are. Dont forget you get Div rank points in UFC 2 mind.

Either way, are you really gonna argue Fifa UT is 'cheaper' to play. No chance.
