FIFA 13 Ultimate Team is EA's fifth iteration of the extremely popular online game mode that has captured the attention (and time) of football/soccer gaming fans in an impressive way. Pay attention to the little tips below. I know, they're kind of sparse and common-sense, but you might learn something valuable!
- Check out my full review of the FUT Millionaire Autobuyer and buy the dang thing. Seriously, you won't regret it.
- Pay attention to UK times when trading. The UK is FIFA's largest market, and prices fluctuate by time.
- When trading, think: buy low, sell high.
- Understand that you need to spend money to make money.
- Don't settle for anything less than 100 chemistry.
- Long term price speculation could lead to your most valuable investments.
- Play a lot of games initially to build up your coins.
- You may need to play some offline games to help you get started.
- Bronze and silver players can be good and valuable, always check the market!
- Make sure that the player you're selling/discarding doesn't have 5-star-skills.
- To you veterans, the 59th minute method still works!
- As you make money, making more via trading becomes increasingly easier.
- Consumables can be hugely profitable things to trade.
- Take part in tournaments and whatnot to make the most of your playing time.
- If you're going to buy packs, do so during some kind of promotional period that features a discount or higher chance of receiving a rare card.
- Offer trades every once in a while, they may accept.
- Don't get too frustrated when you don't get something good in a pack, as FIFA Ultimate Team is a for-profit thing for EA. That's why packs aren't such sure things.
- Pay attention to contract and injury issues!
- A good manager is highly valuable to your team and its chemistry.
