FIFA 18

[Maxie]

Just been on for the first time in months. No longer on. What a load of shite

Every fucker has a superteam

Aye. I'm shit at fifa and even I have 8 tots players in me team.
But it doesn't help cos every other fucker has a team or TOTS and icons too
They've made it so easy in one final push to get everyone to rinse their squads and coins before World cup FUT.

They're basically killing their own baby

 

[hefty em]

Worth doing bundesliga for me. Only be using it for gullit SBC and guaranteed to get higher rated then the 88 one I've got.

Edit: got 95 hummels

It’s the end of the season and the WC mode is coming soon. They know what they are doing. They’ll still be raking it in with people chasing TOTS with FIFA points.

Yep, just basically rushed TOTS because of the WC. Rake in as much cash as they can...then start afresh at the end of May. They'll be making a shit load this year.

Not from me like. I didn't even pay for the game itself

Aye That's it

I've found it less sluggish today like.

Saw an interesting article on a tech site which was entitled "why there may not be a fifa19" which had EA CEO saying they're looking to move to a digital model rather than yearly releases. Probs subscription based as it's easier to dump code via big updates as we all have high speed connections.
Game changes, squad etc would all be done that way.

But I still think they'd have to release a 'new' title first to get it up and running.
Can you imagine if they just went that way now, but said once you move to it you go back to bronze FUT and have to start from scratch. Cos surely they couldn't just go that way with the current release cos every fucker who plays FUT has top notch teams nearly
For some you literally can't improve the teams

They'd just come up with a shitty slogan and a load of hype to reset it for the new season.

"Season reset coming soon! Brand new ratings! Slightly shinier cards! New modes! Get a free pack!! Get the new Bakayoko for 20 game loan....all in exchange for the players and coins you've built up over the last year!"

Got some fucker called Max in SBC. A LB.
Suppose he fits in with my bundesliga back 4.
I actually wanted a gk this time. Typical!!!
I keep getting left sided players ffs

For anyone who played in 2014, how does the WC Fut actually work?

I got max too. Decent player TBH .

No transfer market in WC mode. Have to buy packs with coins or FIFA points. Each pack you buy you get a duolicdup pack in normal FUT mode. Player ratings are lower than normal but they have a higher chance to get boosted if their team performers well .

Not sure how popular it will be this year. People might completely bin of usual FUT mode for it. My entire team is untradable now and have 400k sitting there for it.

Gerrin got DKT/Kevin Volland on first go (all with Bakayoko as my CB )

Not sure whether to risk him on Bundesliga SBC, I just know I'd end up with a keeper or Boateng

I'd love a bundesliga gk or boateng cos they'd fit right in with me German back 4
I'm not doing this SBC like. I don't have any tots left I wanna loose so I'll probs do tomorrow's rotw one (assuming it just needs IF like before) and use that in calcio a one.
Even efl2 tots are going for 80k at the minute

I didn't even know the last ROTW was IFs Didn't even look at it because the players were meh.

These TOTS players used to be a lot cheaper in previous years like, 70k now for the shittest one, no thanks.

Got Wendell in Bundesliga SBC. Meh 91 though so another one to include in a prime icon sbc.

 

[Deleted User 18963]

Wendal is a good one TBH.

I got Naldo. Use him as CDM. Animal with 99 long shots and 99 shot power.

 

[Gene Hunt]

ROTW SBC is worth doing purely for profit as you can sell player straight on. Get your team ready before 6 as the prices of 84s will Rocket.
Finally got the hang of trading a bit too late in the game. Made over 100k from Marquee Matchups selling investments. Team has now reached the point where it is difficult to improve, full of icons and TOTS players now, Gullit 93 the latest addition - shame I am terrible at the actual game!!
On the subject of being terrible at the game, how is it that I can play somebody with a standard gold team and their players can be first to every ball, chase my players down easily, and play fast passing football when my team of icons and TOTS with full chemistry can't play a simple pass to each other and are sluggish? I don't get the game sometimes, and don't get me started on low driven shots

Got my 84s all waiting to go, load of untradeables. Hopefully it's not 90/95 chemistry.

Aye, the deciding factor usually comes down to which one of you has the least sluggishness. Rarely has to do with who you've got in your team or how good you are. You can usually tell within the first ten seconds if you're going to win or not.

Best indicator I find is if I play a pass and it goes so slowly it barely reaches the recipient...I know already that I've lost ..(unless my opponent is shite).

Aye but I've already got TOTS Young at LB and he's pretty good.

Fancy getting Goretzka to go along with Matthaus and Gullit in midfield. He's getting good reviews. Only got 1.4m left though and I want Prime Maldini as well.

Basically I need more coins

Also want Prime Maradona.

Decisions, decisions.

I think you are spot on about gameplay. Spoils the whole game for me as it can be so frustrating at times.

If you want more cash you need to take a gamble. I have invested in a few 84s as they are guaranteed profit come 6pm when the SBC hits. Also buy some cheap 84 or above IFs. I picked up a French LWB Lienard for only 13k for example. Price will rise when people are looking to do the SBC which should require at least one IF. Never ceases to amaze me the amount of people who go into the SBC unprepared and are forced to pay a King's Ransom for the players they need which they could have bought for next to nothing!!

Aye, got Lienard last night for 12.5, fits well for chem and got enough 84s for me but trading wise I feel fatigued with it all now. Been doing it for eight months

I know what you mean. It can take over your life when you should be doing something more productive! Thing is I find the trading and SBCs more enjoyable than playing the actual game.

Aye same it's just got the point where I'm happy with my team..but seemingly now just want players for the sake of it.

Edit: Just bagged another 84 Lienard for 11k Easy money.

Are these IF 84s yoyre picking up to sell later for the SBC profit?
Just thought 11k was a bit steep for an 84

Yeah - the TOTW players. You need one in the SBC. Rating required will be 84 or above so cheap high rated ones will be more valuable after 6pm
