Fifa Ultimate Team 17

Starting to churn some of the useless bronzes through the upgrade SBCs. Have got eight two-players packs out of the Korean, Greek and Chillian leagues so far...

Third one nets me a Toulouse defender who is extinct on the market! I know he's untradable, but I needed two defenders from Toulouse to finish their SBC, so he basically just saved me the gut ends of 15k!

I have only ever enjoyed career mode on pc with a mod that tweaks it to the be more realistic. It's just too random as it is so I don't bother but they haven't been able tweak it this year because of the change over to the new game engine so I'll be staying clear.

Career mode is always a mess, I remember one year I was playing as Villareal and bought Lloris from Spurs, played them a few months later in Europe only to find out they'd been using Harry Kane in goal ever since I bought their keeper.

Yeh this is the kind of thing drives me nuts or the likes of Sunderland signing Suarez for 20 million.

On the pc in previous years there has been a great modding community that basically fixed career mode by tweaking transfer systems and training methods and player growth but also players values and wage budgets and youth academy's it was always really enjoyable when you get bored of ultimate team.

Might have a look at that for next FIFA. Given Sony released the Bluetooth adapter for the controller it makes it much easier.

Im Fully converted to using xbox controller now. After having nothing only PS since the PS one it only took about a month to get the hang of Ha.

Not a clue! Was looking at it there a few days ago...only €25 in GameStop in my town, not a bad price at all. I'm also wondering if you could use 2 controllers 1 adapter or if you'd have to get 2 separate adapters.

I dont really understand why they needed a dongle for ds4 as it connected to pc anyway they just needed the release a decent software driver for it. Eitherway you will still have an issue with the onscreen icons been for xbox I still haven't got my mind around them even with xbox controller.

Got Gold 3 again, 6 games left but not sure I even want to go for Gold 2, looks worse. played 2 games in a row against teams with Neymar, Messi and IF Ronaldo.

Errmmmm, if you've played two games then you've 'gone for it', no?

Thepoet85

Finished on 24 wins. One away from two 100k packs

Was trying for Gold 1 but I needed all wins from my remaining games, won the first and lost the second so didn't bother going on for Gold 2.

Instead I just got some bronze players and spent my remaining games trying to get as many red cards as possible

Also finished gold 3..the first time I've really gone all out with WL. 5 games left for me, cba playing them. Came up against an insane team with Messi, Neymar, Bale, TOTGS Lewa, IF Ramos, Neuer etc...beat him in the 120th min with a 30 yard free kick into the bottom corner. My last game for gold 3, Martial scored all 4 goals in a 4-1 win!

Does it not recognise you're using DS4 and change accordingly? Even when using the dongle?

The weekend of a journeyman FIFA UT player.....

So failing to qualify for the weekend league as usual I was consigned to playing Divisions.

Friday night started with a win leaving me needing one point in my final game to take the Div 4 title, needless to say I lost but still got promotion to Div 3 for the first time. Played 3 games, one point not looking good.

Saturday finished out Div 3. A few wins and a draw left me needing a win from my last game to avoid relegation...I drew and was relegated.

Sunday I played back in Div 4 again. First 4 games 2 wins and a draw so average. Then after a 5-1 loss I decided that since high pressure was beating me I would finally give in and try and see how to play it no mater how much I hate it. On to Youtube, found a video, changed all my tactics and instructions. Next 5 games drew 2 but lost 3, no wins. Last game needed a point to avoid successive relegations...5-0 thumping in so back to Div 5. High pressure, its not for me, just getting absolutely killed with counter attack goals, my controller is in dire danger.

Back to ultra d and trying to score beautiful goals like Arsenal.

6 wins, 5 draws and 11 losses F28 A46.

IF Erikesen my best player. in the 11 games he played with that terrible record he had 6 goals.

Rossi IRL

Jaysus Berty you sound like myself.

Getting wipped in Div 4 after an emphatic journey through Div 5.

Getting done on the counter by Musa and Batsuahi.

I then try park the bus to counter their counters but then they just score longshots with Batsuahi's weak foot from 25 yards.

5 losses on the trot in Div 4

seamie78

Hoping to step up to division 4 today need 3 points from 2 games but now I am scared

Have last week's rewards saved up for TOTY later. Also have about 130k which I'm not sure what to do with. My teams are getting a bit stale so I kind of want to buy a player or two but I also want to blow the lot on packs!

Ah, I forgot that's how they release them. Yeah, I won't be touching them tonight so. No-one wants to pack a defender.

Blue defender would be a far cry better then the **** I usually get Haha.

Good tip for preventing goals where the opponent runs from kick off, use the offside trap. It works perfectly.

Yeh usual fifa crap all Spanish league and the greatest keeper of them all that makes a handful of saves a year.

J. Marston

The forwards are in packs now. No chance of getting one but feck it, may as well open my stuff.

Edit: Got IF Milner which would be awesome if he was a CM and not a bloody LB.
