Timed Finishes definitely seems like a niche tryhard thing which is probably good, you don't want to make it too easy to do I think honestly 90% of people are gonna be better served by turning it off entirely so you don't accidentally gently caress up any easy chances, and you probably almost never want to do it when you have a high % chance like a 1 on 1 or something I'm still gonna leave it on and just practice it tho because it seems fun and you can hit some cracker long shots with it Glad everyone else likes the demo too, I really think this one feels the best in a long time and I'm looking forward to playing it

RCarr posted:PRESS TRIANGLE TO HIDE Buy a popular player for his lowest BIN, mark it up like 4 clicks of whatever price they're at, like say buy for 1800 and list for 2100 or 2200, and just keep listing it every hour and someone will eventually buy it because they have paid $10000 for points and have 500k coins and they are just doing an SBC or some poo poo and don't care, or some other narrative as to why they are lazy and buying a 2200 coin player, but anyway it happens Once the game launches do this with more expensive players that are super popular when you have more coins For instance, last year I would buy Son for like 25k and re sell him for 29-30k several times per day

RCarr posted:Thank you! Yeah more or less, you kinda get a feel for it, although sometimes you will lose all your profits sometimes if you aren't aware of when the usual crashes happen, like around black friday and some other times like that There's also a trick of just listing your best player overnight for like a 20% profit every night, maybe it sells one time every couple weeks but it's barely any work and you'd be surprised how much extra you could get from time to time. If you have one 100k dude that's just a free 15k occasionally. Another good thing is to try and snipe players who are being price fixed, like go to futbin and look in the SBC solutions and look in the top one for an SBC with a good reward, say a mega pack or something. There's a good chance someone is price fixing a key player in that squad, so say buying all of a silver player and selling him for 3k. If you spam search on that player, or bid on all the cards that are like under 2k or something, you can win a lot because people will just pack those players and list them without checking the price. So you might get one for like 400 coins. The risk of these is if you do the bidding technique and it gets flooded and the price fix doesn't hold, maybe they all drop down to 400 coins again, so just be careful, but it has potential to make a bunch.

I got IF Werner from one of my SBC packs! Dunno whether to sell him now or wait a couple weeks to sell him before the first weekend league, or whatever I'll probably sell him now, I think I can make more by trading for a few days than holding onto him and just getting the 20-30k rise from him alone

Hooray One thing I don't get is like how people are even getting for example a million coins to buy a million coin player on PS4 You can't buy points so like, suppose you pack Ronaldo, how does someone have the coins to buy him? You can say well they packed someone really high themselves, but then okay, how did someone else have the coins to buy that player? etc

Tzen posted:Yeah I figured his price increase would only be since he's an 85 rated card, for SBC fodder and whatnot. I had a Hawk card and put it on him, bringing his stats to: To be honest I packed the 88 IF Robben as one of my monthlies in 17 and I always felt like he never really played as good as his stats indicated, I dunno. It always made me have to be really predictable to cut in with him, too. Everyone knows you can't do anything if they just make you keep going outside.

Seltzer posted:Here's my hot trading tip. Remember everything I say about trading is a suggestion and I take no responsibility if you lose your shirt doing what I do. That being said this one is pretty easy, I just wanted to be done with it myself before I shared it. Players who transfer to a club not in the game get their cards pulled from packs, when they do that very early on in the game cycle it makes their cards very rare and the price jumps even if they are trash. Well, Negredo transferred from besiktas to some UAE club and I won 45 of his card for 350 coins on open bid. He'll probably be pulled next week. Could hit 10k but even if he just hits 1-2k it's still an easy flip. I'll share my next scheme after I'm done doing it myself. Good luck. This is a cool idea. I'm on PS4 so I picked some up although they are up to like 500-600 now. What I don't get it is, even with 0 supply, where will the demand come from? I mean sure he's still rare but he'll be still a 78 overall crap card, is it just the combination of nation/league in case it pops up as useful in an SBC? Anyway since I'm PS4 feel free to PM me any hot trading schemes you are planning if you ever want free poker coaching or something!!

Yeah I'm gonna probably load up on squad fitness tonight and then a couple 20k players that are at 35-40k on xbox and then just build a team with like 20k or something like a bundesliga team or whatever I overestimated my coin total before I think I have right around 100k so I might just try to be patient this year and only spend like 25 percent of my coins and see if I can trade to a few million or something, shouldn't be hard on top of rewards

RCarr posted:Before my trial ran out yesterday I didn’t see any going for less than 600-700 (Xbox). Should I buy them at that price or no? That's a pretty close call tbh, if they're already that high. I think you could probably get them pretty regularly for that during WL last year, especially once people started getting reward packs that are just full of rare consumables (like the rare gold packs etc) That was on PS4 tho, maybe they got higher on xbox, seltzer would know

Tzen posted:drat nice squad. Yeah I just got disillusioned with him when I had the 88 one a couple years ago cause you can only really do one thing with him and it might work in real life since he can genuinely beat people off the dribble, but if it's a year where dribbling isn't good like 16 or 17 it's pretty hard to make him work He might be ok this year because players seem much more responsive. A slow but agile dribbler like Robben or Ribery (or maybe even Zlatan!!!) might be actually playable this year Actually maybe I shouldn't lump Zlatan in with "agile", though he does have 5 star skill moves I'm curious to see how the 4-3-2-1 works this year, I liked it in 17 although like sometimes I feel like you really need a lot of money because to make it work super well you need CMs that can shoot and kinda do everything and obviously they're *extremely Mr. Dink voice* VERY EXPENSIVE I had to go with Mario Gotze because as a goon I can't not use someone named Goatse Stefan Prodan fucked around with this message at 04:50 on Sep 25, 2018 |

Oh yeah I dunno if I'll get on mic but if anyone wants to see some gameplay I'll probably stream my first few games tonight, I'll probably play for an hour or two unless something comes up Also, I bought up a couple Fernandinhos at 20k because he was selling for 35k on Xbox so I figured that's a lot of profit margin if he goes up that much, and I had one listed at 30k just for shits, and someone bought him!!! I immediately bought another for 26.5k to try and re sell tomorrow so that was a cool little 2.5k profit for just listing him Stefan Prodan fucked around with this message at 04:51 on Sep 25, 2018 |

Weirdly my top scorer is Delaney who has like 10 goals in 12 games or something. I might make some minor upgrades with the money I'm getting from these initial coin boosts, like buy a couple 10k players like Coman or Tolisso and Thiago. I think running the 4-3-2-1 the CMs are definitely the most important part of the team since even in the final third I get a lot of offense from them coming up to shoot longshots or running through on a 1-2 so I'm gonna emphasize probably making them my best players. I played two squad battles, I won 1 on legendary and I lost the other one to 3 header goals and a penalty kick

Man, divisions is gonna be a crazy grind to actually get to the higher ones. I'm slowly gaining in division 5, and playing fairly decent people Some of the pro streamers I watch are like barely in division 3 Does anyone know if there are reddit posts or anything about which rewards might be the best to take for the weekly rewards? I kinda think the tradeable pack might be the overall highest reward but also highest variance? The untradeable reward is obviously the highest amount of like gross reward in terms of coin value but it's going to be mostly trash you can't convert to anything except through SBCs so I don't think that will be good to take. I think it's roughly something like, for the top division 5 reward, you get to pick 58k coins straight up, or a rare players and two jumbo premium gold which I think is worth something like 80k total, or a final choice of something like double those packs but untradeable. Actually looking at that, maybe just taking the 58k is the best because with the packs in the jumbo premium gold you're going to get a lot of consumables and junk I really like this model though, it actually makes it somewhat doable if you wanted to do a "packed players only" run because you could get a huge amount of untradeable players Stefan Prodan fucked around with this message at 16:24 on Sep 26, 2018 |

Swarmin Swedes posted:Packed Fabinho and Fred in an SBC pack, seeing as both might get a OTW card should I just wait to sell and see if the price rises (weekend league could push up prices too) or should I take the money now (roughly 60k for Fabinho and 25k for Fred) and reinvest? Probably yeah, you could just buy a bunch of 10k in form discards and sell them a week later for a few k more, and keep doing that to get exponential growth on your money. I would assume Fabinho and Fred are unlikely to gain 30-40% more and afaik I think you can usually get that from the discard in forms within a week or two

Probably late in the week because he's extinct longer, I would guess, like Monday or Tuesday? I dunno though I don't usually do TOTW buys like this very much Also, just a tip for everyone, if you are doing the in form investing, and you're just holding the cards in your club, don't! Put them at some fairly high markup like go ahead and list them at 15k if you bought them for 10, and maybe you'll get a lazy buyer that buys them while they're still like 12k or something! It's another freeroll, no harm in doing it unless you think they'll go up so fast that you'll miss out by selling them too low but that's unlikely.

RCarr posted:Is there no way to Ultimate Team matches against opponents with similar level teams? No you have to spend some coins but I mean honestly like if you activate the coin boosts you're getting 1500 coins per match you play, plus the SBC rewards are pretty generous, even just a 30k team is pretty easy to have in a day or two and that's like a decent team of 80-81 overalls.

Tzen posted:I love that there's a choice but I can't decide which one I will choose. I'm leaning more towards the untrableables, since there is more, and it's so early that if I pack some awesome player, I'll end up just using them for a while rather than selling them. As for all the trash, it'll go towards SBCs, since I haven't completed alot of them yet. I thought about it and I think i'd rather do the untradeables later when there's SBCs that I can immediately put them in, like the 86+/85+ overall SBCs and such. Since you get a ton of rare cards it seems like a shame to recycle them in the gold upgrade, but I can't really use them for anything right away. I might honestly just be boring and grab the 58k coins, between that and the 30k from squad battles this week if I get elite 1, that's 90k in the first week that I can start investing/trading with Oh, and I managed to hit Division 4 just in time for the new week to start in division rivials!! I was sweating it, I only was winning by 1 goal for most of the game and I was probably gonna stop playing for the night if I lost or didn't win, so it reminded me of like an important game in weekend league or something, was fun. I dunno what the top division 4 reward is, I'm guessing like 75k or something.

Oh yeah quick skill move notes, fake shot seems a bit buffed this year to me, I think it exits from the move and gathers momentum faster. I seem to be able to beat people with it more often than last year. The L1 fake shot is pretty good for a speed boost too if you kinda look someone off who likes to aggressively cover passes. Obviously also finesse shots with the timed shooting are really good if you get an opening. Also probably the best way to beat squad battles since the AI gives you so much space.

Dollas posted:Anyone else playing pro clubs noticing the AI being a little more batshit than 'normal'. Sometimes they insta ping the ball 15 times between 3 of them (whether there is an opposing player near them or not) and calmly work out of the back as if they are all 99 rated, and other times in the same situation they just decide to blast it out of bounds. The passing choices seem a lot more bizarre and way more rapid fire prone this year, there are several times per game where i'm giving the ball to them because they are open and i have 2 defenders on me and they intermediately give the ball back to me (without a request). AI in pro clubs is such trash and it's a shame In 17 it was really honestly decent and you could trust it not to just give the ball away for no reason. In fact it was nearly useless to press the AI because it would almost never give away the ball cheaply. Now you can just bum rush them and overwhelm them pretty easily, and there's STILL the bug where they give it back to you like you just said which is a straight carryover from 18. EA hates pro clubs
