Choose a team other than Bolton. *rimshot*

More seriously, I'd play around with a few teams in a few different leagues at first, until you find the set-up that works for you. Or you could jump in at the deep end and try to get Vauxhall Motors into the Champions League.

I'm going to play as Bolton at first as I know the team, but I will probably make different saves rather quickly.
 
Quick question:

If you start a career mode with a team that contains your virtual pro, then get some acheivements outside career mode, does he improve on the career mode? Or does it not count?

Apologies for that question being really badly worded, I didn't know how to put it <laugh>

Yes. Any changes to your pro affect him in all game modes.

I'll admit to spending a bit of my own cash on ultimate team, but I think it's really sad how far some people go -

Look at the bids for just over a million coins on UT

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FIFA-12-U...eo_Games_JS&hash=item27c25f252c#ht_500wt_1413

122 quid ffs.

I've 2000 MS points worth, which is 17 quid, and I feel like a loser, but these guys... seriously.

****ing hell, how sad is that. I've spent a few MSP on packs, but paying 100 odd quid for 1M coins just takes the enjoyment and sense of fulfillment you get from earning your own coins and getting lucky in packs/winning auctions. You can basically just buy any players you want.

Some people take Ultimate Team FAR too seriously.
 
Oh yeh, forgot I spend £5.50 on 100k once.

No one was bidding on it and I couldn't resist the temptation.

The good side to it is that I've not bought anyone with the money, I've just bought a load of contracts and healed about 5 ****ing injuries I had, plus restored my squads fitness.

I might sell the coins on ebay for a profit, or I might keep it just in case another toon players makes TOTW.

I kind of felt bad because I wasn't earning the stuff I bought through packs, but I look at my record and I've played over 270 games and won like 170.

My match winnings add up to around 160k. I've actually worked hard on this game, and won so many games as the underdog team.

I've spent so much of my match earnings on packs. I've got lucky with a few, and they've really built my whole team. But most have been utter ****e.
 
What does price lock mean? And how do you do it?

Trying to buy up as many of a player as possible, then dictate the market price for them by buying out anyone lower than your price and listing a bunch of the card all at the same minimum/buy now price.

Note to self: Refresh if it's been nearly 5 minutes since you loaded the tab.
 
Here's my ultimate team -

I would definitely recommend IF Ji Sung Park as a LW. He's ****ing class. Only cost me 13k.

He's probably not expensive because his pace isn't that high. It's only around 81, but he has all the other great qualities.

He's probably cheap because most people are **** and need pace to win games so they ignore the rest of his qualities, simply because he isn't too fast. Sad really how many people need to abuse pace on the game. They should learn to play.

surely your chemistry would rise if you swapped Tiot with Cabaye? Then you'd have Tiote linked with another Ivorian, and Cabaye linked with another Frenchman.
