Is it possible to create a FIFA 14 team. Buying pigs in a poke

Today I will try to explain the best way to start or rebuild your club at UT. In the future, examples will only be described of how to achieve at least some results without buying Fifa points or similar paid features in the simulator.

Let's start with the fact that at first the composition is bronze, inconsistent. From different clubs, countries and championships, here you will need the qualities of a manager, take a first look at the available resource and set yourself a task.

Let me give you an example:

We have a couple of players from Germany, we set the task of forming a Bundesliga. We buy “Golden” players, for starters no more than 300-400 coins

We’ve done everything and now we’ll start the online mode, when setting up the lineup, we first of all prioritize teamwork, even if Torres is in the lineup (figuratively speaking), it’s better to put the same Pissaro in if he’s suitable, it will be of more use. After several games, preferably in the championship, and periodic purchases, we will finally assemble a squad that is more or less combat-ready.

Further more, the advice is a little heavy, but effective. Let's start by practicing two compositions. As we know in Fifa, there are Fizuhi cards that restore stamina, but they cost money, and we don’t have a lot of them. What to do?

There is a squad, let’s say from the Premier League, we try not to dwell on this and buy, for example, inexpensive (at your discretion) players from La Liga. There are 23 spots on the team and we fill in 22 slots with players to start with. How it works?!

As a rule, players get tired after two or three games in a row, a player’s fatigue is determined if his condition is less than 90. What we do is play two La Liga games and change all the players to the Premier League, in fact, we create two teams. What does this give us? We spend figuratively 5000 more, but we save the entire game on Physio cards.

What’s more, the most common problem in the game is contracts (at first, that’s for sure). How can you get away from this and start saving?!

It seems that this is absurd - but the solution to the problem is the main one. Coaches, that is, I will explain to each Conte, Prandelli or Wengera. There is a column " Contracts 3%", Now, if you buy such trainers, you can reach a maximum of 50%. Then they give an increase to absolutely any card Contract. Let's remember the main thing, the coaches must be different, that is, two Pellegrini, even with different leagues, will not help. We collect everyone, both gold and bronze. At first, the idea will seem a little useless and crazy, because it’s still minus 10,000, at least. But when there are 28 contracts on the card, the player will receive almost 50 matches without worries, believe me, this will make you happy.

Even if you follow all these tips, you cannot avoid problems and the first 100% will begin in the 6th division, and in the cup even earlier. The lineups are equal, you play well, but you lose. It’s as if your players are afraid of them, get lost on the field and completely disappear on the virtual football pitch. What to do?!

There is one more small trick, Fifa tried to make their UT simulator very realistic, just like in life, and here a lot will depend on the staff. And it doesn’t matter who you play.

I’ll try to explain what I mean, maybe you’ve noticed that when you buy trainers in the search, they give you a few more options to choose from: Main. Coach, physiotherapist, goalkeeper coach, etc., etc.

So, each individual has “+15 to tactics” or “+10 to defense.” And by collecting all these trainers you get 50% of everything. They really add + to the actions of the players, no matter what players you have at your disposal. Anyone who comes gets a plus for protection. Let’s also remember the rule: duplicates will be of no use. We buy everything, gold, silver and bronze. Doctors and physiotherapists will also give their advantages. Perhaps this will be the most expensive pleasure in our training, the amount will be from 30,000 to 100,000 coins, it all depends on the time, the market and your ability to trade. Also, packages for tournaments can give you a long-awaited coach.

I would immediately advise you to buy the cheapest trainers for various items, for example:

Don’t take all the coaches Defense, but it will be 50%. But the difference is noticeable in other components.

We collected money and bought several trainers +20% for each opportunity. Believe me, you will immediately see the results in movement, speed, and passing.

This article may not seem necessary to you, since you have known this for a long time, but I will say right away that it is mainly intended for beginners in sports simulators or UT mode. And if something seems unclear, you can always write to me and ask a question.

And the most important thing:

Watch football - love football

In the meantime, subscribe to my channels.

On the eve of the FIFA World Cup, which starts in Brazil in June, it’s time to return to the game FIFA 14, or rather to its most interesting mode – Ultimate Team. We bring to your attention the FIFA 14 UT squad of players with the best ratio of skills and transfer value.

The Ultimate Team multiplayer mode has become an integral and perhaps the most popular component of the EA FIFA series games in recent years. It combines a football simulator, a manager and a collectible card game. Unlike the “Seasons” mode, where you can play online only for real-life clubs with fixed rosters, in FIFA UT you can create a unique team – your own world team!

You can manage your UT team using the web application easports.com/uk/fifa/football-club/ultimate-team. And in order to play a match or two with the assembled squad, you will have to launch FIFA 14 itself directly on PC or consoles.

You will start the season in FIFA UT with little-known, but really existing “bronze” and “silver” players, gradually earning in-game currency (or spending real money) to acquire much more famous and skilled “golden” players. In addition to player cards, which can be purchased in sealed sets or individually at auction, there are cards for coaches, contract extensions, fitness enhancements, injury treatments, and uniform, ball, and stadium appearance changes.

It would seem that it is much more profitable to buy specific football players at an auction, rather than settle for a pig in a poke by choosing a sealed set. But the set may contain a rare football player card, which can easily be exchanged at auction for half a team of simpler players. Thanks to this, the process of opening packs becomes damn intriguing and exciting.

It is recommended to assemble squads in FIFA UT according to the national league of the players. That is, football players playing in the same national team or football championship will interact better (especially in passing). All players on a team do not have to be from the same country or league. Links are formed only between positions on the field that are nearby (for example, goalkeeper and center backs, defender and midfielder on the same flank, attacking center and forwards). In FIFA UT, connections between positions are schematically indicated by multi-colored lines: green - good mutual understanding, orange - normal, red - bad.

The website www.futhead.com will help you choose the optimal players for each FIFA UT position. The flexible search system allows you to sort football players by total skill, price, nationality and league, as well as by specific characteristics (speed, kicking, dribbling, defensive play, heading).

Superstars like Messi, Ronaldo and Hazard in FIFA UT, as in reality, cost colossal amounts of money (even “gold” cards, not to mention the ultra-rare “black” and “blue”). Therefore, we decided to assemble a squad of players that are a little simpler (worth up to 2 thousand coins), but still well known to fans of European football. In addition, we tried to compare real football players with their virtual counterparts in FIFA UT and understand whether the EA developers managed to accurately convey their playing style.

Samir Handanovic (goalkeeper, Slovenia, Inter). If not for “Buffonische”, it would be the Slovenian who would be considered the best goalkeeper in Serie A. Samir is not yet thirty years old, which means that with subsequent versions of FIFA UT his skill will only grow. As an alternative to Handanovic, we can recommend the Belgian Thibaut Courtois from Atlético Madrid, who is at the same level 84 in FIFA UT.

Jerome Boateng (central defender, Germany, Bayern). A tall, but not at all slow, centerback is the main one in both Bayern and the German national team. And considering that in FIFA UT it is the Bundesliga team that is most often assembled after the Premier League and Serie A, we simply could not help but mention Boateng.

Andrea Barzagli (central defender, Italy, Juventus). The highly experienced centerback won the Scudetto for the third time in a row with the Old Lady. In reality, it is difficult to determine which of the Turin trio of centerbacks - Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini - is better, but in FIFA UT it is Andrea who looks more interesting.

Leighton Baines (left back, England, Everton). For the second year in a row, the English kid with a hairstyle a la The Beatles (not strange, since he is from Liverpool) demonstrates the highest level of play. Baines is quick, if not reactive, with an excellent pass and a killer free-kick.

Darijo Srna (right back, Croatia, Shakhtar). In the last few seasons, Fernandinho, Willian and Mkhitaryan were considered Shakhtar's best players. But as soon as they left the team, team captain Dario Srna, who had been playing for the Donetsk club for quite a few eleven years, returned to the fore. The Croatian can take a free kick no worse than Baines, who plays on the opposite flank. But in FIFA UT, Srna has a significant drawback: the UPL is represented by only one team, and therefore linking the Croatian with other players on the field is very problematic.

Moussa Sissoko (central midfielder, France, Newcastle). Perhaps Sissoko, with a total rating of 75, may seem like our strangest choice. But in FIFA UT this player is well balanced (shooting, passing, dribbling, defending) and has phenomenal speed for his position - 80. And with the departure of Cabaya, Sissoko became Newcastle's best center half.

Freddy Guarin (central midfielder, Colombia, Inter). In the winter, Guarin almost became Barzagli's teammate, but in the end he still remained on the same team with Handanovic. If our team's other center, Sissoko, is primarily a destroyer, then Guarin is a creative player. He can either pass a pass that cuts through the opponent’s defense or shoot at goal himself.

Keisuke Honda (central attacking midfielder, Japan, Milan). In reality, Honda sits in Milan's deep reserves, having lost competition to the more creative Taarabt. In FIFA UT, the Japanese has practically no equal in the DAC position: his speed and dribbling are excellent, and he shoots free kicks even a little better than Baines and Srna. Honda's headers are listed at 72, but in practice he hits 80+.

Lukas Podolski (left forward, Germany, Arsenal). With the 4-3-3 formation in FIFA UT, it is customary to use wingers with a speed of about 90 in order to be guaranteed to run away from defenders and cross into the penalty area. Podolski, with a speed of 81, has a different task - to unexpectedly move to the center and shoot at goal from any angle and distance. Fortunately, with a shot of 87, Poldi manages to score in this manner regularly.

Alexis Sanchez (right forward, Chile, Barcelona). This season, during Messi's injury, it was Alexis Sanchez, not the new signing Neymar, who became Barcelona's main striking force. In FIFA UT, the Chilean is a mirror image of Podolski: a little faster, but with a slightly less accurate and powerful shot.

Loïc Remy (centre forward, France, Newcastle). Remy is the second Frenchman, the second Newcastle player and the second player with a total score below 80 in our squad. But as in the case of Sissoko, the assessment here is clearly underestimated. The combination of 91 pace, 73 kicking and 81 heading makes the player on loan from QPR an almost ideal Triggerman, scoring nine out of ten. No matter how much we experimented with other players in this position (Mario Gomez, Roberto Soldado, Mario Mandzukic, Alexandre Pato, Rodrigo Palacio), no one played more effectively than Remy.

As the basis for the World Team in FIFA UT, we took the currently popular tactical formation 4-3-3, or rather its variation with two universal center-halves rather than defensive midfielders. The national league connections in our composition, to be honest, are not fully observed, but up to the third division of FIFA UT this is not critical. Still, before the 2014 World Cup, I wanted to create a world team (even if it was a “budget” version), and not a team of one country or league. The total cost of the eleven players we selected at the time of writing was 12,200 coins, which can be easily accumulated without financial investments.

About the game

FIFA 14 intends to bring innovation to the series with a number of technologies. For example, Pure Shot technology, which adjusts the intelligence of players, their movements and the angle of impact during an attack on goal, is designed to make goals "amazing". Well, the Real Ball Physics system determines the trajectory of the ball, and opens up access to a variety of physically correct types of shots. The players on the field have also become much more realistic. Each of them received several new techniques and improved movement dynamics. Finally, the domino effect whereby a goalkeeper jumping into a full penalty area would immediately cause players to fall to the ground has disappeared. Unnatural acceleration and braking, as well as many other defects caused by insufficient detail of what is happening, are a thing of the past. Among the innovations that first appeared in FIFA 14, we note the new relationship parameter present between team players. It can be described as a kind of “chemistry” that arises between players from countries with related cultures. Good mutual understanding on the field allows such players to carry out combinations on the field faster. But if the players belong to different nationalities, such an understanding, alas, will not arise between them. Also, a mod has appeared in the game that allows players to make independent decisions, regardless of and even contrary to preset parameters.

Team intelligence for both teams on the field has been improved, with players assessing opportunities and making better decisions, which will help both attack and defense. Protect The Ball, Sprint Dribble Turns and Variable Dribble Touches technologies give players new ball control capabilities, improving their technique, allowing them to block other players, turn in any direction at speed, and handle the ball.

This game will introduce a new way of gameplay in career mode, offering the Global Scouting Network feature, which will allow you to develop a network to search for football players, and search for talent all year round, assessing all the traits and advantages of new players. The Sports Football Club service, in turn, will turn FIFA 14 into a real football social network, helping you communicate and find opponents around the world.

Game innovations

Flawless Strike

The system of shots in the game has been changed, now players can change the width of their steps and choose the angle of approach to the ball in such a way as to deliver the most dangerous shot on goal. Players may throw unprepared shots from an awkward position.

Ball control

It's now possible to push defenders away from the ball by moving the ball away thanks to new intuitive mechanics.

Realistic ball physics

Now the trajectory of the ball in the game corresponds to the physics of the flight of a real ball, even more powerful and technical strikes have appeared. Football players can take strong shots from long distance and also spin the ball, just like in real football.

Precision Movements

The path along which football players move and interact has changed, the inertia and landing of the leg are calculated step by step in real time, previously this was done using a specific animation.

Teammate intelligence

Improved decision-making in the game will provide better player supervision and tracking of movements. Defenders will be able to calculate options for securing and tackling the ball. Attackers will have new techniques to deceive their opponents. They will create space in attack, make behind-the-back runs and control the tempo of the game.

Game modes

Career

One of the new features in Career Mode is the addition of a new global network that allows you to hire a scout to scout talent throughout the season from various clubs around the world.

Ultimate Team

Game patterns have been replaced by player teamwork styles, formation change cards (formations, schemes) and morality cards have been removed from the game. The auction has been renamed “Transfer Market”. Now it is possible to assign playing numbers to football players, select performers of all standards and appoint a captain. FUT Seasons will have ten divisions instead of five. 9 new schemes will appear in the mode.

Joint seasons

In this mode, any player can take part in 2v2 ranked online play, teaming up with a friend against two other players and working together to take their team to the first division. Additionally, Match Day has been added to Seasons and Co-Op Seasons, fully integrating online play with the reality of the world's best leagues.

Interesting moments

1 - EA Sports doesn't choose Players of the Year
As you know TOTY(Players of the Year) is a group of eleven players who receive significant boosts to their stats and are given special cards featuring them. However, not everyone knows how and on what basis they are selected. We would like to declare that EA Sports do not choose them based on their preferences, but on the basis of voting on "Golden Ball". The eleven players who receive those special blue cards are chosen by the association "FIFPro World XI“, which includes about 50,000 professional football players.

2 - Players who leave in the first five minutes of the match are penalized
In previous versions Ultimate Team there was a rule in which a player could leave a match without worsening the DNF rate and without spending contracts. The only thing that was necessary was to leave the match in the first five minutes. This was very useful in very high handicap games or between teams with similar players. However, some players used this feature if they were already losing in the first five minutes of the game. IN FUT 14 there is no such. If a player leaves the match, he is punished.

4 - Gameplay items purchased from the EASFC Catalog can be used in FUT14.

« EASFC catalog» is grouped by category. There is a special category for " Ultimate Team“, and there is also a “Gameplay” category with many items. These items can be purchased at the same time for your Ultimate Team. For example, you can buy classic kits by going to UT, you can watch them in your club.

5 – Two players from different divisions can play each other in “FUT14 – Seasons”
I bet you've wondered who I'm playing with in Seasons? With a player from your division or maybe from another? We answer. Yes, it may happen that a player from a higher/lower division will take to the field against you. Your priority opponent is always the one who has the least problems with ping, so that the game is comfortable for you. Then the system sorts what is found by team rating, and only then by the division closest in level to you.

6 - You cannot change the “Game Rating” (Work Rate) in Ultimate Team
This is another myth. Unlike what happens in other game modes, in Ultimate Team It is not possible to change game Work rates. Even through the game control menu. This is why it is so important to choose the right players.

7 — After playing on the New Generation console, you can continue playing on the previous console.
Everyone wants to know how to transfer their progress to Ultimate Team to a PS4 or XBox One console. However, few people know that it is possible, at any time, to return to the current generation console and play Ultimate Team with the same team. Just plug in and play. Every change made on one console can be seen on the other. Naturally, this can only be done between PS3 - PS4 and between Xbox 360 and XBox One.

8 - At any moment in the match, your wingers can change the flank of the game.
At any time, you can change your team's playing style by pressing the left (default settings) analogue of your gamepad. You can instruct players not only to change their flank, but also to force an artificial offside, or have your central defender join the attack.

9 - Porting from current generation platform to next generation is not perfect
Don't be alarmed. You won't lose your players or your coins by switching to a new console. Just check if you are using the same PSN ID or Gamertag on your new console.
There are some problems, that's a fact. First of all, you will lose all added players to Friends. You will have to carry out this procedure again. There are other nuances - the problem with the “Season Ticket”. Yes, you will still receive a gift set every week, but you will no longer have discounts on packs.
