'fraid not, I tend to sell on if they don't fit right into any of my teams

Ive bought a few packs but not that many, though most of my best players I have got in them, Reina, Ramos, Lucio and Cambiasso but I just wheel and deal like mad, I trade on almost everything I get in packs and some players Ive picked up for far less than what they usually go for in the market, I think because I started UT on the very first day before the values had all been set I got a ton of ace players for my first team that had no chemistry so when it came to selling them to get the chem up I could charge way more like I bought Dzeko on day 1 for about 10k and sold him a week or so after for enough to buy Higuain and Rossi the NUFC team was actually dirt cheap, Ba the only one who cost more than 1500 coins off the top of my head and the same with the spanish 11 they were really cheap, I only buy when Im getting a bargain so once I see a target I mess with the search parameters and make sure i get the cheapest one possible, some people dont check prices before they put player on for trade oh and I pulled a black border guy who was actually shit but he went for tons

is that why you've mysteriously turned green?

My Spanish team is now overall my highest rated, I hadn't realised that you could use the same card in multiple teams so Navas, Ramos and Reina are now in my spanish 11 and first 11

er, dont use X at all hammer whatever standing tackle is

I liked thor, its in the category of Capt America for me that it makes no apologies for being a bit daft it just gets on with it also, natalie portman

I don't use A at all, it doesn't help really Slide when the ball is there to be won I never used to slide on the old fifas but its more important on this one if someones getting away hammer X and pull them back also on custom tactics I always use High Pressure or Possession play

mate of mine just mentioned that it seems you get better packs when you buy with coins rather than MSP, probably not actually true but Ive tried it out and hes been right so far when I look at what ive opened

Aye for some reason there're 3 FM12 threads, check the other two

because its published by Microsoft Game Studios, basically the opposite reason that Uncharted isnt on the 360

you realise "below manchester" assuming manchester is included in that equates to 16 of the 20 top flight teams in england and that none of the 4 above (us, sunderland, blackburn and bolton) haven't been a top PL side for a good number of years, Bolton have actually got a current england starter in their team too as it happens.

Definitely, match fees are irrelevent now, they'll care more about playing for England, because that means getting their faces in the papers, and more exposure meaning more sponsors etc etc, but still the one thing that annoys me is people saying people don't care about England, then when Rooney does something rash (he's done it a few times for England) people complain that he's not level-headed enough, surely he's just showing passion. Like when he slagged the England fans off, shit thing to do after playing so wank on the pitch, but at least he cared and was clearly frustrated, it's the wankers like Barry and Lennon that couldn't give two shits nomatter what that need fucking off out the England team rooney wasn't "showing passion" he was being petulant because he'd fucked his touch up and lost the ball, passion is going mental when you score because you've scored for your country and giving matches your all for 90mins (something england players sorely lack) because you are proud of playing for your country, not kicking an opposing player once the balls gone

you can use MS points to buy packs or coins (top pack is 7.5k coins or 120 MSp) but its optional

no, you earn money from playing

I think Clee might be right, I vaguely remember something a bit back about the FA actually making the players donate the match fees

Really enjoying UT this time round, have hardly touched any other game modes actually. I've got three teams so far, my best team, a NUFC team and a Spanish team some of the Toon players are a nightmare to get hold of, rare silver players that cost a bomb on the trade, our best players were all cheap and easy to pick up but the subs bench is costing a forutne to fill

just been booted from UT for the third time today and now "servers are unavailable" EA are shit!

ah theyve changed the "quick vote" now earlier it just showed that the majority disagreed with him

Pleased to say I was in that room for the announcement the BioWare session was actually really good Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk

Non-disclosure agreement means I can't give details Played it at Eurogamer though and its definitely good!

Congrats Kev, what will you be doing?

Leazes, people give you flak, not because of your shepherd support or anti ashley agenda or because you were/are right/wrong its because over time this has become the sum total of your contribution to this board and everyone is sick of it, not just the people you see as being on the other side to you all other posters who are somewhere in the middle are tired of it too you have GOT to accept that some people aren't going to agree with you because it was said a while back, you obviously love the club and you know your shit but you post about nigh on nothing else despite having this enormous backlog of knowledge and passion for Newcastle United and when (on the rarer and rarer occasion) you're not banging on the same old drum you are a good contributor to the board

number 1, obvious really in your 6 months in game how high in the league can you take NUFC by the first of Jan?

My lovely beta invite has come through, signed an NDA though so sorry, just wanted to gloat
