The new FIFA 16 Ultimate Team season is almost here, and EA Sports has highlighted some of the changes coming to it. When the mobile and web companions open up, players will be able to take advantage of wider price ranges in the Transfer Market. On the official EA website, the publisher explained that it will try to keep the ranges as wide as possible in order to not only make it easier to buy and sell players, but also to ensure that the market stays fair. fifa coins A graph was released showing the differences between FIFA 16 and FIFA 15. We are also curious to see if any Liverpool players will get an upgrade, but given that they didn’t feature in weeks 1-3 – it looks unlikely at this stage.
We need a sense of agency as a player. The biggest talking point for any football fan is where their favourite player is heading next, and which stars are heading to their clubs. Both player and manager careers are uninspiring bores that do nothing to keep players returning to the single-player component of the game. The 2014 World Cup entry introduced some interesting new mechanics, like player training and rivals gunning for your position in the team, which added some desperately-needed innovation to the floundering mode, only for these to be completely ignored in the main entry a few months later.
In what appears to be a way to fix some of last year’s issues, Price Ranges will start much wider. “This will make it easier to buy and sell players on the Transfer Market,” says EA Sports. “Our aim this year is to keep Price Ranges as wide as possible throughout the season to offer a fair environment for trading and to protect the market against coin buying. Price ranges were added to FUT in the middle of the game last year to combat coin selling, they were met with very mixed reviews but EA stuck to their guns and believed that they were the way to make FIFA Ultimate Team fair again. However not to long after introducing the update things started to go wrong.
After bringing players prices down people stopped listing their players so they wouldn’t make a loss on them, this led to multiple big name players becoming extinct meaning not even the legitimate FUT fans could buy the players they wanted to. With literally little under a week to go until FIFA 16 Ultimate Team goes live, EA Sports have released some news on the new price ranges, the web and companion apps and FIFA Points. This is to make the experience of the end-user more safe, secure and fun for all involved. “The less coin farming and buying we see within FUT 16, the wider the Price Ranges will stay.”
EA Sports also says that in order to further combat coin farmers and coin buyers from ballsing up the system, console generations are being separated. You won’t be able to trade between Xbox 360 and Xbox One. When you first sign in, you’ll be asked what your console of choice is. The FUT transfer market will be back on both the companion and web apps starting from September 17th 2015.
All returning and verified gamers will be able to start building their own Ultimate Teams and opening free daily gifts in the form of packs each day and also trading with other users in the auction rooms. You will however have to start your journey on the web app before you can go mobile and use the companion apps. fifa 16 coins Keep your eyes peeled to EA’s Twitter page to see when the new FIFA 16 Winter Upgrades will be out for Friday February 26. We have a feeling it will be close to 6PM UK time for when the players are actually live in packs and on the transfer market with their upgraded stats.
