Beginners Guide to FIFA 14 Ultimate Team – Short Version

FUT 14 Beginners Guide

 

If you are new to FUT 14, you have probbaly a lot of questions. Start by reading this beginners guide to FIFA 14 Ultimate Team.

 
 

Players Items

Items in FIFA Ultimate Team include players, coaches, stadiums, jerseys, and type of ball. Consumable items will affect a player’s contract, fitness, position, training, or health.

A player item with a high overall rating will be rarer than a player item with a lower overall rating. The higher the rating, the better value offered in the Transfer Market.

Each Player Item contains a number of different attributes, including position, country of origin and Chemistry Style. Player Items also include attribute ratings such as Pace, Shooting and Heading. Keepers have attributes specific to their position including Handling, Positioning and Diving.

All Player Item attributes reflect normal playing ability when FIFA 14 launches. When players perform well in the real world of football, this will be reflected with In-Form items in FIFA 14Ultimate Team. These In-Forms are special Player items that have boosted attributes to reflect their recent form in the real world of football.

In-Form items are rare. The Black Player Items are issued for Team of the Week Players. These are available for a limited time, which makes them even rarer and allows them to fetch higher prices in the Transfer Market.

 
 

Chemistry

In FIFA Ultimate Team, building the best possible side requires strong Chemistry. It’s mainly about the relationships between players. Both players and teams perform at their best when their Chemistry is high, and you’ll see the results on the pitch in the form of stunning passes and epic goals.

Chemistry can be built in a number of ways. Putting players in their preferred positions and linking them with fellow players from the same Club or League will produce Chemistry. You can also build Chemistry by pairing players who have the same nationality or enlisting a manager with the same nationality as players on the roster.

Players who have been loyal to a club will obtain a Chemistry boost. Whereas a player signed via the Transfer Market will need to play ten matches before becoming loyal, all players obtained through Packs or who were initially on a squad will automatically have this boost applied.

    Hello Rodrigo.

    I was wondering. Do you play offline seasons in FUT?

    I really enjoyed the game until the latest patch. After the patch I went from div. 1 to div. 6.

    I reached div. 1 with a serie A team based on 4132. This was a really fun formation letting me build up via the midfield and not pacing all over, with the sprint button. The shielding was awesome giving me the time to set up nice passes and runs.

    Then came the patch and this playstyle was no longer possible. My players no longer made the correct runs, I could no longer shield properly, my players felt slower, 8/10 passes did not complete since my players either ran away, got blocked or simply just stood there causing interception.

    Reading other peoples hints and tips I decided to buy me a french team based on 433 with either Benzema or Remy in front. Needless to say the whole team was pace based and the only option when playing up field was to LB-Y the wingers hoping to catch the LB/RB off guard and outpace them. From there either cross or try and get in on goal. This playstyle is awfull and in the long run VERY boring. I found myself either winning 1-0, drawing 0-0 1-1 or losing because of awfull AI on my team.

    I get that EA’s idea is to contain i defense and wait for the right moment to tackle the opposing player and counter, build up etc. This is simply impossible 4/5 times because the AI is so overpowered and the AI on my own team plays like semi-pro difficulty or lower.

    I have now more or less given up UT divisions offline since it’s more or less impossible to win against the now extremely overpowered AI.

    It seems that the AI now can do all the things we were able to do pre-patch.

    I would play online but the playstyle there is sprint-sprint-sprint lob pass over and over and over.

    There are many other issues like rebounds 9/10 times return to AI, Very poor goalkeepers, 50-60 paced CB’s running down 90+ attackers, tiny players bossing huge stronger players rally easy, AI going on rampage in 45+ and 90+ and so on and so on.

    What are your thoughts regarding the latest patch and these issues, if any?

    There a several threads on EA forums regarding all this and it would sadly seem that nothing is changing for the better.

    Thank you.

      Hi. Thank you for your comment.

      I usually play online. I played offline just a few times.
      What you wrote makes sense. You are not the first one that has complained to me about this situation. As I usually don’t play offline, I can’t give you a solid opinion but you are probably right in everything you said.
      Maybe they will fix it in the future.

      Hi.
      I don’t buy packs. It is the worst thing you can do to your coins/money.
      I don’t have any device to try but I think that it is not possible to play with friends in standard version.

    Hey i get a problem with bundesliga. I enter the league but i cannot play. It seems like i cannot fulfill the second requirement, even though i already put a bundesliga player.

      Hi!
      Are you talking about Bundesliga Division 1 Single Player ? You need to fulfill these requirements:
      Min. number of players from Germany: 5 in the squad’s starting 11, Min. Number of players from Bundesliga: 2 in the squad’s starting 11

    Hi Rodrigo,

    Will more single player tournaments become available throught the rest of the year? I feel I have missed out on opportunities to load up on coins from tournaments due to buying the game so late. I don’t play any online mode as I don’t have a gold account.Is there a schedule which shows which tournaments will be coming out? I’d like to prepare my sqaud, especially if there are any that have tough requirements to play in.

    Also is it best to buy coins from a third party resource or play and earn them. I feel a little cheated that I can’t purchase massive amounnt of gold packs or even a single IF card. If buying them is the way to go which site is a good/secure one?

    Finally, is it wise to invest on the 7,500 or 15,000 gold packs or try and buy rare players, IF, etc. with the coinage?

    Thanks

      Hi.
      Yes, more single player tournaments should become available until FUT 15. But just a couple of them. There is no schedule about it. You can check here the list of past tournaments.
      It is best to buy ti a third party resources. You can try the MMOGA banner in the right side of this page.
      About packs, you should read this.
