Yeah true, still haven’t had an answer to this. Ultimate team doesn’t interest me. I just want to know more about the actual game modes and game play
Likewise. I suggest bragging about a gold Cantona legends card or something similar might attract the attention of the pencil necked geeks. Then you can hit them with your questions.

Maybe your questions aren't answered because the people who play FUT don't play the other game mode?

@golden_blunder There is a Volta mode. I think its something like Fifa street but I haven't heard too many talk about it so not sure what its like

Volta is a bit of a disappointment. Nothing like FIFA street. Skills are pointless and it's basically 5v5 on a small pitch and you just pass it around. No skills no fun. Career mode is still the same crap every year. Only fun thing they added into this game is the different match types in FUT.

Even the different match types which are supposed to be fun either aren’t played or people still act like cnuts. I played one yesterday and the guy rage quit because I scored one goal. What’s the point?

He'll have been getting the objectives for playing them. He won't have realised if you quit that it doesn't count though.

I agree. Should have a separate thread for FUT.

And yes there is the volta mode that includes 5-a-side and futsal.

I was doing the same. The previous time I tried the guy obviously had an elastic band on his controller because any time he got the ball they ran in a straight line out of play. The game is ruined by the community but not enough is done to stop it either.

It’s frustrating that you get punished for playing in high divisions on pro clubs. Playing in div 1 during the day takes hours to find a match. It’s the only game mode I play.

The market is crazy this year without icon SBCs. 89 IF Kroos is 33k on PS4, last year he would have been 100k.

It makes packs even less worthwhile, even in the unlikely event you pack an 88/89 they’re only 30k. There’s only 19 normal gold players worth more than 100,000.

Yep, it all feels a bit pointless. My pack luck is atrocious over the past three Fifa's so good luck me with packing anything that's going to get me anywhere.

I’ve completely knocked it on the head. Literally 0 point playing when the rewards so so worthless. Like its been said above high rated cards are worth nothing, so it’s impossible steadily building a great team because after a couple of weeks the price of the players you have bought absolutely plummet. The only way to get a meta team is to spend £2000-3000 or play the game relentlessly (ie every spare minute of down time you have) and get super lucky with the packs you get. I played loads for the first couple of months, getting the storyline player and playing WL and I don’t have alot to show for it at all. My mate on the other hand packed Makalele, Salah, Pogba, IF Dybala and a host of others I’m forgetting off rewards and free packs!! Its been very salty for me :lol:.

I’ve heard there is a new patch on the horizon, can anybody let me know if its fixed the criminally bad button delay/connection on rivals? As this was the reason i gave it up in the first place.

You could spend £1k now and struggle to get a million coins. Even spending that much, it's still really unlikely you'll pack anyone over 100k coins. The flip side it has made a good team way more accessible to 90% of the game. You can easily get a good team for really cheap now, it's just impossible to bridge the gap from the good players to the elite (Neymar, Messi etc) as you need to pack about 30 of the good cards to have the coins.

I pumped all my cash in the first 2 weeks, will be doing the same next year. Completely useless buying packs.

I think it’s strange EA aren’t trying to manipulate the market as surely this is massively affecting fifa point sales and we all know how greedy they are, there’s absolutely nothing to open packs for because players are so cheap. Surely EA know this.

As for the game itself it’s dead, there is nothing to play for at all. I’d love them to bring back bronze, silver and gold tournaments. Why they removed them in the first place I’ll never know. Just imagine how refreshing it would be to play against another silver team instead of lenglet, Militao, Lucas, Werner every game.

Haha I'm of no use to you. I sold van Dyke the other day for the same reason as you, I bought manolas for 14k and he does the exact same job if not better. Honestly I've no idea where to use your coins as I'm sat on 1.8 million as I refuse to pay big for any player, When you can buy a meta team for 100k that'll beat any multi million coin team what's the point in spending big.

Is there a 5 a side game on this version?

Thinking of getting it for Nintendo switch
Volta? Yes, it has 3v3, 4v4, and 5v5 matches in it. It has been super fun. For online mode, you can't chooose the match type, but for offline, there are tournaments specifially designed for 3v3, 4v4, and 5v5

Would you mind posting such a team?

Mine at the moment is worth like 400K, lost a lot of coins on it as it is with the price drop and I'm considering selling now cause it seems like it's value is only going to continue decreasing.

Packed Son from that Marquee Moments pack earlier - some type of 2 player pack :drool: tried him out - holy shit, he’s good. Looks like that Storyline Zaha is out of my team for the foreseeable. Poor guy never really got going! :lol:

7-3 so far on WL.

Trying a new team, but struggling a bit in midfield so have been changing in game from 5-2-1-2 to 4-3-1-2

Team is:
Gk: Ter Stegen
Cb: 85 Rio, Scream Pique, Lenglet
Rwb: Samedo
Lwb: Delanie (ligue 1 sbc)
Cm: 85 Pep, Matuidi
Cam: Dybala
St: Aguero, Scream Dzeko.

Usually replace Lenglet with Wijnaldum when changing formation.

Dzeko and Aguero both in double figuers and Dybala has picked up a couple.

Want to finally crack 20 this weekend.

Are you sure? Someone else said that it wasn’t in the Nintendo Switch version. Can you do local exhibition matches?

GK - handanovic
RB - Malcuit
CB - koulibaly
CB - manolas
LB - Roberto Carlos (my icon swap)
CM - naingollan
CM- barella otw ( I have him untradable)
CAM - insigne
ST - mertens
RW - politano (objective)
LW - D.Costa

433-4. It Works for me I've beaten 1million plus teams with that.

Oh sorry, I was mentioning about the PS4 version.
There are 3 modes:
1 VOLTA Story - the story mode
2 VOLTA League - Online MP league ( compared to Online Seasons in regular FIFA)
3 VOLTA Tournament - Local tournaments v/s PC

There are different types of pitches and/or courts in every game mode.

Finished off Icon Swaps earlier, I have all 24 tokens.. Now what?!

I’m torn. Really not sure who to go for. Was tempted by that Ballack initially; however, have been told he’s extremely clunky, so not sure. Would’ve freed me up to grab another one too, which would be nice.

Any suggestions?

Thank you! I was guessing you were referring to a Serie A team in terms of value, pretty good team that, went 6-0 at the start of Champs with my Prem team and then immediately lost 4 in a row, might sell up and just go ahead with this team as this base icon SBC has some high rated cards going for their max BIN :houllier:

After grinding for all 24 tokens I'd personally choose Drogba, feck man, that's some going...

Thanks man! I actually didn’t find it all that hard, with a few exceptions. Had to buy a few decent UCL cards to get over that final hurdle but other than that it wasn’t too bad.

As for your point about Drogba, I already have his base Icon! Although good shout as his 89 must be pretty delightful, given how good his 87 is.

Might get Keane/Nesta, seems to address the two areas I need players in. Like I said before, that Gerrard is probably very fecking good but not sure I can bring myself to get him. How petty I am!

I was gonna give this year a miss, but my son grassed up his mum slyly saying she was gonna get me the fifa with 24000 Fifa points for my bday in December.

I am going to sacrifice my son’s secret keeping skills and refuse tbh :lol: Ea wankers are only going to feck me over anyways.

15/20 done for that Trossard objective.

not doing too bad but feck me it’s hard to score with jay rodriguez I’m literally stuck on burnley.

That’s some going mate, well in. You’ll have him unlocked in no time at this rate.

Meanwhile, I still haven’t unlocked Politano.. :nervous:

Completed him now mate. I flew through them all apart from fecking burnley and Watford. They took 5 or 6 games. I went down a division too though not on purpose because of losing.

Got offered this for £30 lasT night so ended up getting it. Haven’t fired up FUT but thought I’d have a quick crack at career mode just to refresh my memory and wow! If only real transfer buisness was this easy. I’m not even finished the first transfer window but so far I bought. Havertz, Sancho, Tonali, Konaté, Upamemcampo and Mbappe in 1 window whilst managing to get rid of Mata, Lingard, Matic, Jones,Young, Bailly and Rojo.

Just got to figure out how I’m going to fit Mbappe and Martial in and who loses a place.

DeGea
Bissaka Konaté. Maguire. Shaw
Tonali. Pogba
Sancho. Havertz. Rashford
Martial

Rio is a beast tbh. Everything you want in a CB if you arent set there. Zanetti is an end game RB. With Rio you can still get Pep (who for me seems like just an SBC filler if any sbc ever needs an icon). Can also get Schmeichel with Rio if you arent set at keeper. Or you can go Giggs and Keane for 2 United icons. Drogba doesn't seem worth it and doesnt seem like the best striker icon from that group anyway (butragueno imo).

Got a premium pack from the season objective and I got inform McGinn. But of course it was untradeable. What a useless card :lol:

Who ever came up with the untradeable. Enjoy hell
