Has anyone given this mode a shot? I'm loving it. It's a blast once you can unlock some cards and get your team the way you want it. I've won two cups so far with the squad below. Since then I have opened a few more good cards in packs such as David Villa, Mata and Hummels.
You get to play the world cup format and the only cards you can pull from packs are rostered players on the national teams. So very few that suck.
That's kind of neat. Though, my Ultimate Team is all USA players so I'm basically playing UT with the US (albeit a shitty version as I don't have guys like Besler, Chandler, or Fabian Johnson )
I've actually only pulled three US players from packs: Mix Diskerude, Kyle Beckerman and Brad Guzman.
I opened this up last night. I've gotten really bad at FIFA I found out. I can't even score on the CPU. I really need to find a formation that works for me. Every one I've found so far has my entire team running in a straight line down the field like a freaking track team. Kind of annoying, so I definitely have some tweaking to do. Got a solid US core with Timmy Howard and Clint Dempsey, but I'm not a huge fan of the rest of the squad yet. Luka Modric was a solid addition via post match pack. Eto'o is my top striker, but it would be nice if he had the speed that he used to. He hasn't really made much of an impact for me yet.
Never messed with FUT, but I'd think Giroud would be a good value guy. Secretly really good in Fifa. Who is that DM? Lars Bender?
Yeah Bender is in because he's better at moving around against more athletic teams. I have Javi Martinez on the bench because I was tired of Hazard handing him his own ass every attack.
Played a couple more games last night and finally was able to buy a pack. Unfortunately the only players worth a damn were centerbacks, where I'm already pretty set.
I wish you could quick sell the extras for coins. Would make it easier. For those wondering, if you win the cup you get 6000 coins + 3 packs. However, those packs do not include the free gold pack in regular FUT.
Once World Cup is over I assume this add on will disappear? What happens to all coins you earn ? Do they transfer to regular UT?
Your coin bank for WCFUT and FUT are the same. So when you buy packs in either mode it comes from the same bank, same goes for earning coins. I don't believe this add on will disappear after the WC ends. The WC cards in regular FUT may cease to be released in packs, though.
