Fifa 12: Ultimate team

Urbanned said:
Contract cards are pretty obvious. Each player card has a limited number of games that they can play. When this runs out you need to 'extend their contract' - simply apply a contract card to them.

As players play matches, they lose fitness (obviously). After a while, this will man you start as match with a player who's knackered. Fitness cards increase their fitness level.

F***, my first full on go with Ultimate Team and I didn't realise that's what the contracts were for :annoyed::lol: Good job I've only played one match with my team so far!

:lol: I remember when I first started UT. Had my bronze starter team, and spent ages complaining about why they were so slow and unresponsive (didn't know what chemistry was), then loads got injured and I didn't know how to heal them and then they all ran out of contracts... I just gave up and started fresh with a new team!

Where do you input the code?

Not done mine yet, but after quick read of it last night I think you go to the FIFA Store in-game, redeem code and then enter your code.

Yeah I only happened by chance to notice it when entering my FIFA Online Access code. I think it's on the back of the FIFA Interactive World Cup flyer that's in the case.

Cheers mate.
 
Use the "coupon code" in my fifa 12 online > fifa 12 store

The card actually says to use "redeem code" but I was trying that for a while without success. It went through when I used coupon code. First 3 pack installment will be tomorrow, first of the month
 
This is ridiculous. So I can't access FUT through my PS3, so I'm looking on the EA forums and they say to make a squad on the web app, which will then somehow enable you to access it. However, I can't make a squad on the web app because it has another error that means I can't save my squad! Grrrrr
 
Battered a guy just now but only won 5-2. First game online and on UT. It's quite funny to witness the awful defending of people who were obviously reliant on the pressure button

Yep. Hilarious to watch people lunge and then just turn past them so casually.

Just got Arshavin and Walker who's 76 but like 5k in a gold pack. Sweet!
 
Sorry WR wrong thread, the thought of playing you scares me anyway.
 
:lol: Not sure if that was sarcastic or not, but pretty sure you beat me 4-0 or something in the Caf fifa11 league
 
Just had my first Ultimate Team game, won 9-0 with Crespo getting a second half hatrick.

I like this Argie side i've built.

The other guy's side was made of mainly silver guys and had shite chemistry, and i got a pen and a couple of hilariously lucky goals from corners.
 
WR, do you play on assisted when you play Ultimate Team?

I want to play but I just don't want to get smashed by someone online, especially as I can't really defend.
 
I think it's assisted, yeah.

Also, is anyone actually on the web app? It's saying that its reached the maximum number of users available at any one time... frustrating.
 
Just played somebody on this who had the entire Real Madrid team, what the feck is the point of that?

I play with assisted passing, semi crossing, semi shooting, manual through ball and manual lobbed ball. Best combination for me online unless my opponent is full manual.

The 3 people I've played online are dire defenders. As long as you don't rush your CB's then you'll have no trouble playing.
 
I've managed to make a Argentina team built around Pastore rather than Messi....obviously minus the super big guns, but I have Riquelme and Zanetti backing him up in the midfield with Milito up top, rest of its just 300(ish) coin players, oh and Zabaleta.

The auction thing is kind of stupid, people put players on there for 150....that can quick sell for 300-350, so if you get around that, you can just easily get yourself a bit of cash quick.

Just need to figure out the rest of it, and well the game itself as I lost like 9-0 on my first go, though ive gotten a few wins in a row now.
 
Playing a match, am winning, get disconnected from EA's shitty servers (still signed into PSN), connect back up to them and I've been given a loss.

Hopeless company, they really are just an absolute joke. It's truly just unfathomable how completely and utterly incompetent and stubborn they are. The point blank refusal to even acknowledge their fecking stone age servers for about 4 years now has just gone beyond the point of me being angry. Hopeless.
 
You're not the only one Solius, getting disconnected on FUT seems to be a VERY common problem lately. The EA forums (while unbearable at the best of times) is full of people with the same issue.

There's nothing I can really suggest to help. I've not yet been disconnected so maybe just hope for some of my luck?

Actually, don't do that. My lucks shit.
 
Online problems on the most popular servers in the world? Yeah, let's not go overboard. Madden, NHL and Fifa all got released recently, EA just taking a huge hit right now on their servers, this stuff is bound to happen, still the best overall servers there is for lag free games.

Did kind of ruin my bidding before, but not too much, still got a team together, but I haven't bothered playing since I got my chemistry up to 78 due to the disconnection issues so went on the head to head season instead.

Thing is, they don't even acknowledge that it's their problem. I've read one interview ahead of the FIFA 12 release where a developer said "Well, if people are getting disconnected it's not our problem because when the match is made they move onto a peer-to-peer connection and off our dedicated servers" (paraphrasing). That's total bullshit, because if that were the case, why would you get disconnected from a game when your internet is intact (ie you're still logged onto the PSN) when you lose connection to the EA servers. It's a joke really, and they're doing their best to try and make it look like it's not their fault.
 
Won my first online tourney on FUT. The bronze only challenge. Get in, played a strong 100% chem english eleven in the final and had to defend a lot in the first half but took control and with some silky finishing from my crack brazilian outfit I strolled to 4-1 win.

Got a bojan a tim howard and a lucio in my free gold packs too.
 
It's also not even as much the being disconnected, it's being given a loss when I was winning.
 
My Argie team.

4-3-3

Andujar
Zabaleta
Heinze
Gonzalo
Ansaldi
Gago
Lucho
Pastore
Perotti
Milito
Delgado

Subs
Forlin
Datolo
Riquelme
Salvio
Zanetti

i got 89 chemistry due to pastore being on 4-2-3-1 formation, all the subs have odd formations too, so ill try and fix that.

is there also an extra chemistry boost just for playing in the same league? as lucho and pastore have a bright green connection whereas gago and lucho is just a dark green?
 
I have one question for Ultimate Team? Can I do about my stuff offline because I'll be away from home for a month and am wondering if I can play UT offline.
 
Frustrating that the UT I assembled from the early launch can't be used on PC at all. Had to start all over again.

The highlights of my free gold packs were Leighton Baines and Matt Jarvis. Dead chuffed....
 
I am a UT noob and would like to know how can I get a few players back that I accidentally 'sent to club'.

Also do I get points for playing single matches on UT?
 
I can't even start Ultimate Team on my PS3. Anyone has any idea why? I keep getting the error message that I can't start and will now exit UT.

To get those players, click on a crap player in your squad, or a space in your reserves and click swap with player in my club.

Yeah you do. How many points depends on goals scored, goals conceded, win or loss, possession, fouls, etc.
