If you are in North America or Britain, yea there will be tons of players. Europe a bit less than if you had a PS3, anywhere else and well you're kind of hosed to begin with.

I imagine it'll have the most players of all the systems.

Tried the demo on the 360, after three games I finally scored a goal. Everything felt so weird and unusual even though it's more or less the exactly same game as last year.

Is the PC version the same as the console versions?

360 is where most Goons are at the moment, PS4 is where they will be in half a year.

So I just got from division ten to division one in h2h seasons without a single failed promotion, and 8 of them were division titles. If I can win Div1 on my first try I'm gonna pat myself on the back super loving hard.

Record is like 55 wins 12 draws 8 losses.



All this on 2013 obviously, but I gotta get in shape for 14.

Not working for me either. According to Rob Hodson on twitter they're aware and working on fixing it.

Thanks for the heads up. I got a couple free packs and my biggest pulls were Kolo Toure and Mexes. Not gonna complain.

e- Apparently Kolo is worth a decent amount, by I have no idea how to profit from the pre-release FUT market. I don't even know how some people have these many coins already.

Holy poo poo. You are on easy street. I think for the actually expensive players, it is better to wait for the game launch to sell them.

This was the best player I got, I think he might be worth a bit a few weeks in once people start making cheapo Brazilian teams, but the fact he's a gold hinders him a bit since guys like Willian and Neymar will be ahead of him in Gold teams.

Nice of them to start you off with a full squad so you can play right away...too bad you can't sell them :(

The first pack you get has every player on 45 contracts so people can use the squad without worrying about coins for contracts in the beginning which can be a pain. IDK why you can't sell them though, that is a bit weird. You probably will be able to once the game goes live. Anyways there are some definite bargains right now because no one has coins and they want them/people aren't valuing players properly at the moment. I quick sold two super poo poo Argentine league golds and picked up Heung Min Son for 400 which is a steal. 83 pace, good shooting, 5 star weakfoot (and leftfooted), Med/Low workrates (which is great in the Bundesliga where every ST is High/High). I was planning on using him in a hybrid and my first budget Bundesliga team. Might be the only trade I make before the game, but still there are some budget moves you can make if you pay attention.

Also a lot of player information has been false so far. Not necessarily ratings but certainly positions, Villa is at LW instead of ST (big bummer), Boateng is at CAM, Neymar is at striker etc. Regarding the RPL, since strength is a bigger factor this year I think Traore is gonna be even more of a beast this year. 94 strength and while his card number didn't change he got a +6 to heading.

I like how there is a bronze gold keeper in the MLS this year with 80 speed. 11 points higher than any other goalkeeper. He's probably absolute dogshit, but you would probably win every 1 on 1 which would be fun, especially if you were already making an mls bronze team.

e- Just quick bought him for 250. He is rare and a novelty. Even if I don't use him I'll definitely make those coins back.

You can search by name on the actual game itself, not sure why they left it out of the web app.

Did the web app ask for your console to link against like in previous years? I didnt notice it before so Im a bit curious if they did some backend unification of the transfer market or if its just wide open on the web app now but will go console specific later.
