Nope. We're not yet sad enough to start recording our matches...

[Yudster]

You are. Just because you haven't done it yet doesn't mean you aren't absolutely sad enough to.

[bmstinton93]

Fair point. I wouldn't know how anyway.

[R94N]

Nope. We're not yet sad enough to start recording our matches...

I was continuing the joke about being annihilated last night.

[Bonanzoid]

Any of you lot play Ultimate Team?

[bmstinton93]

I've played a few matches but not really got into it this year. I played it to death on Fifa 09 and Fifa 10.

[Bonanzoid]

Was just wondering cause I started it a few days ago, and it confused the living hell out of me. Finally getting to grips with it, got my chemistry up to 100 so I can't complain.

Do you ever manage to build up coins? I seem to always be spending mine, mainly on new contracts.

[bmstinton93]

Yes it is very very hard. It is possible though. It takes a long time. You need to basically just win the tournaments with the big bonuses and you should be fine. In the auction you can get Gold Contract cards which last about 8 games for about 200 - 300 coins if you're lucky.

[Bonanzoid]

I'm sure I've managed to pick up a good few 13 match contracts I think, for roughly 300. My team's all Italian, I just need an Italian manager who plays 4-3-3 and I'm more or less sorted.

I cheated on the last FIFA and bought packs with Microsoft points *blush*

That's actually quite impressive. I've never tried too hard with the chemistry. It is a fun game it can just be a bitch getting to a point where you don't have to constantly worry about coins and not having a shit team.

[Bonanzoid]

It took me far too long to realise they give you 2 free packs to get you started. That definitely helped once I discovered it, even if I did just quick sell a bunch of rubbish players for a few extra coins.

[Bonanzoid]

Not about the tournament, but I got in to division 1 on H2H seasons today. Chuffed!

[bmstinton93]

New Euro 2012 expansion released today weighing in at 1800MSP. Nice addition, for me so far it seems to be worth it although several teams appear to be unlicensed. For example there is an A. Rumsey in midfield for Wales which is a little worrying. But I think I heard somewhere that EA are looking into it.

[Bonanzoid]

I did that recently too. Given that it was £4.20 or so for enough points to buy 2 gold premium packs I figured I spent more money on less important shite so went for it. Got an in form Javi Martinez which sold for 26,000 so that kept me going for a bit. Never had any luck with packs since then but I have managed to build a solid Premiership eleven. I do love Ultimate Team, despite the fact online there are some VERY good players.

[chrysostom]

BUMP. We should try to get a mini league going.

[bmstinton93]

Definitely up for it now my exams are over

[flyingbadger]

I've had the damn thing since Christmas and hardly played a game.

[Bonanzoid]

I don't think I've played online with the new game. I might be rusty.

[chrysostom]

And so the excuses begin

[Bonanzoid]

Better to get them in early, rather than after having my botty spanked.

[bmstinton93]

Nobody could do as bad as me. I'm awful!

[G-Sizzle]

I think I'm friends on Xbox with a few of you here, if a league gets set up add me in it and ill play where possible.

[chrysostom]

BUMP.

Anyone fancy a few games/mini tournament on FIFA 13 tonight?

[bmstinton93]

I can't tonight but should be able to maybe Wednesday night.
