The last couple of minutes of EA's weekly podcast always tell you when Happy Hour is, and who is in TOTW.

I'm a studmuffin, and my avatar reflects that. She obviously has good taste

Getting really pissed off now, at not being able to connect to UT on the console. Tried EA's workaround, which consists of putting your profile and game saves onto USB, but still won't connect.

I've reset my router and will try again later, but might just stick to Forza until they fix it. Nice one, EA

Edit: seems to be working now. For how long, I wonder...

Got my club value up to 45 million last night. I'm catching Dave up

Only another 40 mil to go for the achievement

OK studmuffin LOL

I boght most of them (900+ players) 300 coins, and am at least getting my money back, or 50-100 coins profit on each

Here is my Spurs team so far...



Saving up for IF Adebayor and IF Modric now.

Updated Spurs team. Saving up for IF Modric now...

A very impressive team there if I may say so myself.

I've not touched UT & I intend not too, either... In the past there was no point unless you are prepared to spend cash on the packs (correct me if I'm wrong).

Just bid 300 coins on normal gold players and resell for 350 BIN, and each time you get to 7500 coins, buy a Premium Gold pack. You don't need to spend any real money if you don't want to.

What has put me off is that Fifa 10 I paid for UT (800ms) & then almost every time I played a single player game I would get into the first half & then the game would jump back to the main menu, with my players contracts each losing a game, making it impossible to proceed.

Then FIFA 11 was free, but I found too many restrictions in Single Player tournaments to proceed & felt everything was pushing in the direction of having to spend money on packs. I gave up on UT & now I refuse to play it.

Just came across http://www.futhead.com/ which is a great database site, allowing you to identify the average prices for players.

Grab yourselves a bargain and start profiting

Major updates to FIFA 12/Ultimate Team/Web App are out today...

"We're happy to announce that we will soon be releasing an update for the FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) and EA SPORTS Football Club (EAS FC) areas of FIFA 12. It will become available on Xbox 360 globally and on PlayStation 3 in North America on 13th March, and on PlayStation 3 in Europe and the rest of the world on 14th March.

We will be introducing a range of great new features for both areas of the game, as well as fixing some bugs and addressing two very important issues affecting the FUT community: Protecting FUT accounts against phishers and scammers, and the end-of-game disconnects affecting some FUT users on PlayStation 3 and PC.

Additionally, the update to the game will coincide with an upgrade for the FUT Web App. This work will require that the Web App is taken offline during the deployment of the update. We expect that the Web App will be offline from 12th March at around 7am GMT until approximately the same time on 16th March.

Your Security Is Paramount
We are immensely proud of the huge, passionate community that has built up around FIFA Ultimate Team and we're committed to providing it with the value and support it deserves. The upgrades we are announcing today are just one part of a continual and expanding commitment to the service we provide our community, and right at the heart of a great community is the security of its members.

We're committed to doing everything we can in our game to help keep you safe from phishers and scammers, and our March game update is key part of that commitment:

It will now only be possible to send trade offers to people on your friends list.
On entering FUT on your console for the first time after the update, you will be required to provide a unique answer to a security question.
If anyone else attempts to enter your FUT account from a different console, they will be required to enter the answer to your security question.
While these measures will certainly make life much more difficult for those attempting to compromise others' accounts, it's still vitally important that you protect your information.

You should never reveal your security question and answer to anyone, especially on a website other than the "ea.com" domain. Never give out your username or password. Never share your login credentials (e.g.: email address and password) for any reason. EA representatives will never ask you for your password. Non-EA individuals and/or websites that ask for your login information in exchange for discounted goods (e.g.: free virtual items) or other game-related services should not be trusted.

Get more advice on protecting yourself here.

Ending the End-Of-Game Disconnects
For some time now, a number of FUT gamers on PlayStation 3 and PC have suffered disconnections at the end of games. This was a problem associated with certain types of router hardware that resulted in very small but very important bits of data being blocked at the conclusion of a game.

We will be deploying a fix for this problem as part of this update.

Since those who were affected most severely suffered a serious degradation of their game experience, we will also be compensating those people with a haul of FUT content significant enough to demonstrate just how thankful we are for sticking with us while we tackled the problem.

Console Security Question

The FUT Web App's existing security question now works in conjunction with FUT on your console. You can no longer create your question on FUT Web, it must be created from your console. Your old security question will continue to function until you change it from FUT Console.
When logging into FUT Web on a new computer or browser, or after 30 days, you will be asked to verify your answer.

The Bid button will be delayed for 2 seconds if you have been outbid. This ensures everyone has fair time to review the latest bid.
Holding down the increment and decrement button will raise/lower the price, making it quicker when clicking.

Usability and Art Improvements

You will notice a wide range of improvements to the design and usability of FUT Web, including better design elements, updated search filter options and a new filter for manager nationality. There are too many individual changes to list here, but you should certainly notice the difference."

Don't know whether you've sussed this out at all yet Ian, but I cocked up last night buying Robinho cards and bought one too many as I didn't realise my trade pile was full so was stuck with a duplicate and the xbox version forces you to quick sell doesn't it cos you can't go to other screens and move anything.

So, I dashboarded, left it til today and turned on the web version and fortunately my duplicate was waiting for me in the new items pile, so before i went to it i made sure there was a gap in my trade pile and then put it up for quick auction.

No being forced to lose money.

Just thought i'd mention it incase you'd never tried that.

Bloody stupid that it puts you in that position in the first place.

---

Even dashboarding and just going back into it on the xbox version works actually. Had to do this twice just this evening as bought head coach cards and it kept erroring when went to do a quick auction. Dashboarding made it put them in my trade pile when it wouldn't let me do it cos of the BS error.

Cool find, Emma. I'll bear that in mind next time I'm bulk buying Balotelli

I didn't actually realise as well that you can press LB and go into the trade pile and any expired auctions you have, you can move cards back into your club for the time being to make room for any duplicates you want to add to the trade pile/quick auction. Stupidly, it doesn't let you move sold items from there which would make more sense. That's why I didn't notice this before because no (A) Action button came up when looking at the sold items, so I just assumed you just couldn't do anything with the cards in there.

There are so many tweaks they could make to UT to make it more efficient and stop you from potentially losing money due to their lack of insight with silly issues like this.
