Mine was pretty similar. Game was close all the way, I lead. 14-7 most of the 4th quarter. He scores and goes for two, wins 15-14. I was pretty pissed
But then again he had quite a few better players than me, so I wasn't sweating it. Hell, two of my DBS and both my DEs are still in the 60s. The packs you get are very stingy with those positions. They need to quit giving me Qbs bc I already have about 10 to choose from


I was also curious, I'm about to run out of CPU challenges to beat. I went through the weekly challenges, beat the bowls, and am almost done with the different conference games. I see some kind of Matt Leinary one, but it's locked ad I don't know how to unlock it.

My entire back 7 (LBs and DBs) are all sub 70 except for Steltz (70) and Joe Haden (75?).

My highest rated so far are Colt McCoy at 89 and James Lauranitis at 93. Next highest after him is 84, 81,80, 74, then everyone else in the 60s

My DL is all 70s. I got Vick Ballard at 86, Bo Jackson at 85, and Aaron Rodgers at 80, everyone else is below that.

Am I the only one having trouble starting a dynasty because Ultimate Team is so addicting?

I'm in a couple online dynasties and I have a feeling this will be my "single player" fix. I played almost all yesterday tryin to get as many coins/unlock packs as possible.

Oauron, have you been playing against people or those CPUchalleneges? I've been getting anywhere from 500-2000 coins beating those conference teams/bowl games.

Also don't forget if you get gold in the Nike Training section for each drill, you get cards that way too. I got Kapernick, AJ Hawk, Lamichael James and Peyton Manning all through that

I played some of the challenges, but they're pretty frustrating. Oklahoma drill most notably. There's one or two that I make a slight mistake on.

The offensive Okie drill isn't bad, but the defensive one drives me nuts. I still haven't beaten it. I can shed the linemans block no problem, but when I try to with the LBr, there's always at least one try where the center demolishes both the dlineman and me. So I've just conclude its impossible
The defensive audible one is pretty insane too. Best I've done is 6/8. I think it's asking entirely too much to get 8/8 on that.

My only complaint about ultimate team is the quarter length in head to head games. Everyone changes tempo to conservative and tries to run the clock the entire game

Change the difficulty to freshman at the main menu and the Nike drills will be freshman difficulty too and you still get the cards

Thanks man

When I'm playing CPU games, I do the conservative thing to try and hurry an roll through a few games to bank coins. But the one user I played did this and it was a pain in the arse. He didn't even set his temp to conservative, he just sat at the line and waited for the clock to go down every time. Hence the reason I'm staying away from user games for this until I'm a little more stacked a o-line, d-line, and defensive backfield. I'm really weak there right now.


Do you even get coins/cards from user games?

Yeah about a 1000+ coins a game. If you win you championship you get a pack.

I just pulled a 91 overall Claiborne card!

Damn. I haven't gotten a single LSU one yet. Would love to have PP7, Claiborne, and Mathieu. But I wonder if they even have Tyrann in there.
It's funny seeing all the different players, I got picked off by Usama Young and saw Lance Moore when playing one of those lesser conference games.


What championship? I thought it was just single user games

The user games are set up like a season. If you win 5 games you make the playoffs. Then if you win the championship in the playoffs you get a pack. Then it goes to the next level/season.

Honey Badger is in the game, I searched for him in auctions. Someone wanted like 70,000 coins for him

Fuuuugggg.
Oh alright, well I guess when I run out of challenges to play I'll move on to those. Hopefully I can beef up enough to still challenge those guys who jus bought their entire team.

I imagine that once the game settles down a bit and people get more cards, those artificially high asking prices will plummet.

Is there a way to avoid getting outbid and not knowing it inside a minute? I thought I just won an auction to find out I didn't. I'm pretty sure it said "Done" and my name as the highest bid too.

This is BS. It just happened again. It said the auction was over and I was the highest bidder to back out to put him on my depth chart to mind a message saying I was outbid.

This
Got my team up to an 85 ovr but still can't keep up with the people who buy their fricking teams. Thats so annoying. Brilliant by EA, but it pisses everyone else off.

Played a bit more last night. Got some more Golds and finally have a good OL + a stud LB.

About to hit the game limit though.

I watched a YouTube video of a guy opening 70 packs in a roll. It's ridiculous. Then you go to play a level 1 game and your opponent has a 90 overall team from the start.

I just don't get how people find satisfaction in buying all the cards then in one day then you have nothing to build towards.
