EA Sports FC 24 - Ultimate Team

Haven't played Fifa in years but got an odd urge to try it again. How difficult is it to get legends or "icons" these days?

It's the lower tier ones I'd want. I know it's impossible to get Pele, Maradona, Zidane etc.

I'd get into it if the likes of Cantona, Bergkamp, Van Nistelrooy were attainable for reasonable prices.

Definitely skipping this year.

Nothing to do with women in the game but apart from that EA have actually made zero improvements to the game..same engine..same bullshit physics and to top it all off they pull the following

”anyone getting a special card will also have their normal cards in packs at the same time”

this is just to further reduce their support costs in having to resolve the many issues with this past year. Instead of maybe fixing the issue and improving quality they just pull that shite.

EA doesn’t deserve my money or support after both Battlefield 2042 and now this crap.

No welcome back packs this year, no real point of the webapp at the start anyways!

Setting the precedent for the year I see 😴

Anyone else having trouble with some objectives not registering? Get 12 chem in a squad & buy a contract didnt work for me.

echo most of this, its the time sink element that has finally done for me, and at the end what do you have, its a monumental waste of time and im not getting into it this year.

And the mistakes keep rolling!

The Foundation V group of SBC's reset itself earlier, thus resulting in players who had submitted cards to lose them.

EA have released an announcement to say that it's back live now and players will have their cards returned "in the coming days".

Two days in now and already two major mistakes.

They are a complete and utter joke.

Somehow I've managed to get Haaland, Van Dijk, Ederson & Tonali all untradeabel from Hybrid SBC. Could be a good year..

I always find the annual antipathy to getting the latest Fifa a bit strange. I only really ever play 2 games - fifa and football manager, both renew every year with a few slight changes to the latest version. Every year there is usually a lot of noise about how people won't be getting the new Fifa but you never really see the same talk around getting the next football manager.

No red picks is annoying but then again last year i had only 1 decent red pick (neymar) that was usable in champs.

The new evolutions mode looks promising - the idea that you could possibly take a few players that you could never use in online play and upgrade them through evolutions throughout the year is class.

Are female gks any good? I used to assume that the best gks were usually the taller ones so that would put me off using a female gk in ultimate team.

Yeah none of mine have been good. Females seem good up front have kerr and a packed benzene up front.

It usually is. Last year it took a good bit longer than previous years for them to shoot up to make great profit but it did eventually. As I've done the past few years I've bought several dozen Parejos all 3k-3.5k. He should shoot up into the mid teens eventually.

Also bought a stack of Casemiros for 15k-17k.

The shooting feels veeeery heavy to me so far. Can't seem to find the sweet spot yet.

4 minute per half squad battles are a godsend. And 8 less games. As a work from home degenerate I think I have done enough for Elite 1 this week, hopefully 😲

I play on pc too, my pc being a few years old too and do have a few issues, but not many. Gameplay improved for me when I turned off Vsync but still doesnt run as well as last years game. I do have some crashes out of the menu too.

Sell Saturday afternoon around 4pm I'd say.

If you haven't done Banini do her sbc. She's absolutely cracked. She's carried me upto Div 5 and is lashing in the goals. Playing her at the left CF in 4321 with hawk on her. She can also play at LW.

She's not fast but she has the the rapid trait as well. Think of her as the female version of Messi...

I’m using Llorente and Molina to chem her in. Same club but different leagues give her chem:
