IDEAS for Ultimate Team

[gladewolf]

Here is a collection of ALL ideas for UT. The Good, Bad and Ugly.

TEAM MANAGEMENT

• Gold players who are made to sit on the bench for too many matches should affect team chemistry negatively.
• Players who are from the same club in real life should improve team chemistry.
• Limit Overall Rating for entire team, increased with cards perhaps.
  • Cards for increasing team from 1 star to 2 star, etc.
  • Perhaps stadiums cold be connected to teams, no way Drogba is going to play for a team in Crappy Park Lane.
  • Or else limit gold players on one team, perhaps each team shoud have a certain amount of bronze, silver and gold players.

PLAYER CARDS

• Reduce the amount of players in the game considered world class, or above a certain rating, or at least make them more rare.
• Platinum cards for Legends: Pele, Maradona, etc. Once again platinum cards can't be modified.
• Contract Packs:
  • Packs only containing contracts, maybe these can be more expensice than other packs, say 10000 coins, and contain all types of contracts, bronze-gold.
• The option to send players straight to the collection/trade pile when opening new packs.

PLAYER MODIFICATION

• Increase players stats only up to a certain point, no more 99s.
• Perhaps there should be a platinum card that once the player reaches this level he cannot be changed, or affected by gameplay cards (see more on platinum players below).
• It should be harder to improve players over certain rating.
• Option to change a player from gold to platinum with a card:
  • Team receives a chemistry boost when playing with a platinum player.
  • His morale & fitness never drop below 70.
  • He receives a x3 multiplier to any contract cards.
  • BUT he cannot be changed in any way once he goes platinum. That means preferred formation, or attributes.
  • He'll be like the club's living legend, sort of like Raul, Giggs and Totti.
  • These cards would be rare / expensive of course.
• Introduce Advanced Player Training Cards: Preferred Position:
  • Example: Changing Yakubu from ST to CF, of course all attributes remain unaffected, only boosts players morale and team chemistry.

MANAGERS

• A greater variety of managers.
• Get rid of nationality as a chemistry boost for managers and use regions & language instead:
  • Britain, Scandinavia, Mediterranean, Central Europe, Asia, etc.
  • A few french-speaking Africans play in Arsenal because Wenger is French and speaks French.
  • A lot of Brazilians play in Portugal because the language is not a problem.
  • A lot of Argentinians play in Spain for the same reason.
• Introduce Advanced Manager Tactics: Multiple Formations:
  • Even Sir Alex Ferguson changes his formations, often in the same match.

GAMEPLAY CARDS

• Get rid of them. Or:
• Gameplay cards should affect both teams when it comes down to things like morale, reduce morale, etc, that way you'll only use it as a gamble.
  • Example: Use a reduce acceleration card on Ronaldo will also reduce acceleration on one of your own players.
• Gameplay cards disabled for online matches, as an option perhaps.
• There should be "nullify cards" where you can take away any bad affects on your own players. That way those who want to play without the gameplay cards can just load up on nullify cards.
• There should be cards that don't really affect the opponents players but might wind up your opponents in real life, like certain chants (“Que Sera Sera”, “You’ll Never Walk Alone”).
  • Or: Cards that might give you a boost in real life, again certain chants or play being stopped for a streaker/squirrel.

CLUB CARDS

• Once you unlock a stadium you should have the choice of playing in that stadium although without the morale boost of your own stadium.
• Thirds Kits, both as cards and as an option for your team.
• Badges can be applied to players to boost team chemistry:
  • Players playing under the same badge as the team play well together.

TOURNAMENTS & MATCHES

• Completing tournaments should give you a coins bonus, like they do in real life:
  • How many millions do clubs get for winning the champions league?
• Or: Gold Pack for winning Tournament.
• Team Rating Filter:
  • Find similarly rated teams when playing online.
  • Friendly Match Ups (playing against friends).
• Being able to stake players or coins in match ups.
• Being awarded a player/card at the end of the match instead of coins.

TRADING

• Better search criteria for finding shirts, badges, etc.
• A 'Buy It Now' store where you can put cards into the buy it now queue (only for specific types of cards) that does not go against your trade pile.
  • I'm thinking specifically for coaches, where you would be able to buy them just to use for training and then put them back into the store without wasting a trade slot on them.

• Allow trading from easportsworld.com

THE COLLECTION

• You should be able to browse bio's in the collection.

OTHER

• Promotional times. Like, every gold pack bought during this time will guarantee an 82 or better gold player or every bronze pack bought during this time will have a silver contract.

control overall rating in team line up ( like in fantasy league that you have equal point to spend for picking player.

ex. sum of 11 player rating for starting lineup should not above 900. so you can't have all 99 rating run around the pitch

Playing against friends would be fun.

[naveenmarikar123]

We need contracts.

[St.Nickelstew]

I think a *lot* of people happier if EA reduced the number of Gameplay cards in packs, and correspondingly increased the number of Contract cards in packs. Relatively simple to implement, I would guess.

If there is a second edition of UT, the devs have already said that "play-a-friend" very high on the list of what they want to add.

So basically we just want a manager game

with an open world market

with fifa gameplay...


i also think they should cap the amount of certain players

like 1000 ronaldo's etc

because again in 2-3months, there will be a ronaldo in every team

[Inspiration10]

• only gold cards in gold packets
• Be able to stake players before match
• Be able to choose coins at the end of a match or a random player(bronze,silver or gold, but you cant choose)

I would beg to differ on this topic. If I get Messi, Ronaldo, Torres, and a host of other players, they will be sold for coins. I would keep Ribery (for my French midfield) and possibly Ibra (who I could adapt my created ST to play with, but I have trained Bendtner up to 88 and he is doing quite well for me). I have a 100% Chemistry team and I am not going to mess that up just for Ronaldo.

[busstipatruljen]

An idea!:

A gambling option so u can play for coins against other players!

[AleXj | LFC]

How About Being Able to use Ultimate Team in Club Matches .. The Captains Team is the team used ?

[shortyalienx2]

Stop the training of players to 99 overall rating! It ruins the game. If Balotelli is 78 I want to play/trade him at 78, I don't want to see people listing an 84 rated Balotelli in a sale, he's not the same player!

[gladewolf]

^updated^

[StrakAttack]

don't include all the other leagues but include teams such as MLS all stars so you can have beckham, blanco, donovan, ching, etc.

also, I would like the option for a third kit, one that can be either home or away from any team.

[StrakAttack]

a 'buy it now' store where you can put cards into the buy it now queue (only for specific types of cards) that does not go against your trade pile. I'm thinking specifically for coaches, where you would be able to buy them just to use for training and then put them back into the store without wasting a trade slot on them.

promotional times. like, every gold pack bought during this time will guarantee an 82 or better gold player or every bronze pack bought during this time will have a silver contract.

[gladewolf]

The game puts too much emphasis on nationality in connection with the coach. How many great teams have a squad of players the same nationality as the coach?

• How many Scots play for Man Utd? (1 - Darren Fletcher)
• How many Portuguese play for Inter Milan? (1 - Luis Figo)
• How many Spaniards play for Barcelona? (Ok, quite a few but at most there are usually 4 or 5 in the best 11, not even most of the team)

[II_AdamsKi_Xx]

bump this up

[Jocanyas]

more managers and more players. Where are the 2ond spanish division ? its worse than german or french league ?
And no more 99players please

[mateovg]

An offline version kinda like manager mode?

[d0mbie]

rarity indicator, as half the time i dont know who's rare or not except for the truly obvious ones that is, this would be nice so i dont post decent players for to little coins.....again! lol

[madridboy86]

- create your own kit
- create your own stadium
- change players position
- create your own club's emblem & sponsor
- have more staff members (also staff have unlimited contract all depends how good your team is before you unlock this feature)
- limited number of packs your allowed to buy off the store e.g. 1 platnium after so many matches or after winning a number of tournament back-to-back
- export ultimate team for offline manager mode
- platnium players shouldn't be allow to be trade because they be like 1/500,000 chance you'll get them again

I'll add more when I think of some

um won't legends like Pelé want million just to be in the game

[CA551DY]

u should have a never ending contract in packs coz it takes the **** doing contracts all the time

[CA551DY]

the quit button should be removed

[Manic_Manc]

Legends shouldnt be in the game. Waste of time.

Platinum cards could work , but be limited to 1 per team.

They need to do something, so average players like raul hold there price and are not sold for less than 5k.....

Option to withdraw bids and offers.

Add a 6 player league qualifying option, then the knockouts for the hardest cup.

* player have POTENTIAL, which means a MAX to which they can be trained up to. Maybe increase that with INCREASE POTENTIAL cards, but keep it realistic.

* Player stats go up if they play well and down if they play bad (like the adidas LIVE league thing).

*Training cards wear off, so thy only boost stats for a few games (like an intense training session in real life to prepare for a hard match).

* Players should add chemistry over time. After they spend a few matches with the team, they get to know the squad, play better with them, etc

* After a set number of matches, players should have the option to "adopt" your teams formation as their preferred one.

* Custom formations, like in "vanilla" Fifa (like my awesome 3-2-2-1-2)

* Remove or nerf gameplay cards (like, limit even the gold cards to 30 minutes duration, max)

* Custom free kicks ( both UT and vanilla) - I wanna see player running over the ball, backheeling it to the right while another guy takes aim and hammers the moving ball past the wall in the bottom corner of the goal

*less chemistry boost from nationality

*some visual indicator in the trade search that shows which cards are already in your collection (I hate buying bronze and silver players to fill my pages only to find out I already have them, or "that section is full")

* an option to delete my created player - I hate that guy, and he takes up one spot on the reserves that I never get back

* for guys who do use the created player - have his name appear in the game, not another (Created)Player1

*A proper league, with divisional advancement, playoffs etc

* Certain cups with home and away legs
