I just love how they brush it off as "unexpected high volumes of players." You make millions of dollars from this game, get more servers or better servers. You can absolutely afford it.

The high volume probably only lasts a couple of weeks.

Up to division 6 now. Won the league crown in every go around so far so things are progressing smoothly. I'm going to need a better team here soon as I can feel my left back beginning to get abused, but i've been able to keep him upright so far. He even has a few goals because he's my team's best penalty taker at 84 ovr.




This greek team is also a blast.

I got a few free legacy packs or something for playing previous versions of the game. "Surely they will all be garbage", I tell myself.

First pack - Neymar
Second pack - Van Persie

I was told I got at least one pack for playing 14, but they never showed up.

Yeah, the longer you hold on to players in UT generally the more the market becomes saturated because more people are buying packs and opening them and getting what they want. At some point in several months many of the players will be going for half what they are now..

If they do go up in the near future, it will be short term, and not by much. Most players generally crater in value after a couple weeks.

I wouldn't sell until they fix connectivity issues. The phone app and web app not allowing transfers means less exposure

They may have less exposure, but that certainly means there are less players on the market than would be the norm, which could drive the price up as well. I have noticed a lot of players and especially consumable on XB1/360 go up in price because of the down time of the web app. And of course all of this means that if he is on a playstation, it doesn't matter. They have full activity of the web app as far as I know.

I checked quick last night and Van Persie was only going for ~75,000. Isn't that really low? I could have sworn he went for a few hundred thousand in last years version. What should I expect to get for RVP and Neymar?

Van Persie going for 80k buyouts: http://futdb.net/Players/q/Robin_van_Persie/70002168
Neymar going for 320k buyouts: http://futdb.net/Players/q/Neymar/7002EC6D
I've noticed this year and from previous years, players always sell higher on Friday/Saturday/Sunday. So if you're sitting on a guy to sell, wait till the weekend obviously.

This as well. Unless it's an In-Form, the prices are going to be always dropping at this point.

I'm sure you all have noticed by now, but in case you haven't, shooting for the near post seems to give you a greater chance at a goal in FIFA 15. -
I've noticed another easy way to score goals is by going for those narrow shots just next to the goal.

Bony has went up twice as much as when I bought him as well.

You could say this about basically any non-hybrid gold team tbf, EA's ratings have always been dictated to a ridiculous extent by "well, does he play for a big club or Man Utd"

Getting used to the game a bit more now, still probably prefer last years effort though.


I've got a serie a squad based off the one posted earlier in the thread, and Fernando Torres is a pretty good option for a striker if you don't want to shell out for Tevez. He's been banging them in.

What do you think is better about 14? I can't think of anything.. there are still problems but the passing and sprinting radius on the joystick is so much better that alone is a huge improvement.

Really? I always avoided Torres on my BPL teams before because he wasn't great at anything compared to others and I already have Klose, Mario Gomez, Totti and Llorente (I want to get Palacio this evening as Tevez is still crazy expensive).

When you use one of the restore fitness cards, it will add that percentage to how much it restores. Same goes for managers with raising how many games contracts give when you use them on players or the physio's and how many games they reduce injuries when you use an injury recovery card on a player.

They just make consumables better.

Ok, I half assed UT basically every year before late in the games lifespan cause I was bored with the regular modes I played. One other question I have is about fitness overall, realistically how far down do you want to go on fitness before you give a player/team a card or rest them?


I figured anything below 90 fitness and I was going to hurt myself going up against an opponent at full rest. I normally rotate the depth players in and play with a second string team and then go back to my main one to keep full fitness anyway but I am wondering how far you really should push the fitness.

Yeah, it is usually best to have at least two teams and have the bench/reserves of one team be the starters of the other team. Then you can swap back and forth between them to make sure you are always playing with a rested squad.
