Ultimate Team 13

Finical

Deary me. More then likely most of us won't get our free packs for today then although some people did (unfair slightly). Don't know why they sort of bigged the release date up and then just can't handle the amount of users for such a big company.

Every year its the same, they never provision enough servers for the launch. The initial launch traffic only stays high for about 3 weeks and they don't want to spend more money on infrastructure then they have too. The frustrating thing is with so many viable enterprise cloud based providers out there, they have no excuse for not simply renting the additional servers for the launch period.

Glad you said that. EA are trying to claim they found out a few problems earlier and is taking longer than expected to sort them. Why do they do that. :mad:

Bit different this year.

What actually happened was that some moderator on the EA forums sent a link to somebody for early access to the web app. He then posted it on a thread so we had thousands of people with access several hours before everyone else.

They took it down at about 7pm and are probably discussing whether to wipe it or leave everyone's squads the way they are. Something tells me this isn't a technical problem.

They better not wipe the squads that would piss me off so much.

gotthebug

Not too bad got Joe Cole cabaye and Raul albiol

Finical

Diego Milito best I got. Funnily enough I got him last year in one of the gift packs too!

niallith

giroud,borini,zhirkov,szczesny the picks of my lot

Khedira/Valbuena my best 2.

Got a 74 silver RM with 84 pace though, should get good money for him?

Mikeyt086

Ugh, just got my chance to go on now. Got 3 player packs as my returning gift, only Nigel De Jong and Carlos Vela of note.

Let the bronze player clear out begin.

Joyce88

A rare Hoilett with 91 pace could do well.

Kirby

Opened my three packs.

Mostly rubbish. I got Pedo though who is pretty good.

Pretty gutted at getting 250 coins in my daily gift. Other people are getting 1k and 5k which gives them a huge headstart in the trading. Can't trade jack with 250 coins.

Pudsy33

I got a mini player pack as my gift, loada sh1t!

How Soon Is Now

Got Vincent Kompany and Matthew Etherington few other average players. Then a big loada sliver and bronze.

Axwell

Professional Griefer

****ty starter pack, as expectecd. Got a like 4 free bonze cards as yesterdays gift, and just got 500 coins there.

Someone with a trading profit as 110,759 and people have match coins already?

J. Marston

Gerrard, Krul, Osman and Canales are the pick of the bunch when it comes to what I got in the packs.

Nuri Sahin

Jaysus, seems I'm the only here who got shafted!

Isco is the pick of my gold players. Got some speed demon silver player, 92 pace.... sounds good you'd think, but he's from Burkina Faso and plays in the feckin' Polish league.

Well, thats you set up for the first week. He's worth about 20k realistically. 86 shooting and passing. People will want him.

Axwell

He was worth 20k in FIFA 12 when the arse had fallen out of the market about 2 months ago coming up to FIFA 13, hes easily worth way more than that in the early stages of FIFA 13.

J. Marston

Excellent. 500,000 it is then. Any takers?

Axwell

Good luck with that

Actually, prices within the first week are often lower than what they are a month down the line. History of the last three games have proven this. The bottom line is, not many people have much coinage this early so if you put a player up for 100k, they don't sell. Some people wait a few weeks to sell because of this.

Alot are impatient though and want to build their teams immediately and have to accept lower because thats all people have. There were some stellar bargains in the first few days of fifa 12 last year. The same will be true this time.

Also, Gerrards low pace and dribbling prevent him from being among the top echelon of players. Personally, I wouldn't sell him. I'd use him but if you want to sell him you wont get far north of 20k.

The Floyd p

Got a mini gold pack as my bonus, got 1000 coins and a Thiago Neves.

My best players were

Ruffier
Forlan
Wellington Nem (91 pace gold from Liga do Brasil)
And....

Prob not. The web app has switched to 13 so I wouldn't bet on being able to reverse it with 12. Might have to do some password reset online with your email.

I did as bad as anyone.

Van Buyten 78(Pace 29)
Lulic 80(Lazio)

The rest aren't even worth mentioning tbh.

Washington Irving

Best I got was 76 overall Saviola and 77 Milan Baros, both in 5-2-1-2, crock of shit
