Fifa 11 Ultimate Team Expense

So the new update is out for this game which keeps our interest going a little further but have you ever stopped and wondered how the people at the top of the leader-board actually got there,for instance when i first start building my team and the game is relatively new i can trade on the market and make maybe 500,000 coins in the first 4-6 weeks which is usually enough to buy me a half sensible team but then there is always a market crash and buying and selling players becomes an increasingly hard thing to do,and if I'm going to struggle then so will you.Well most of us when we cant make any more profit will buy a couple of packs which helps but i was looking at the leader-board the other day and wondering how the people at the top ended up with 300,000,000 valued squads and it is this simple they do not get rid of any players,and if you think about it the average pack contains 3-4 players and to have a club worth that money they must have close to 2000 players which means they must have gone through at least 500 packs!!! How much money did that cost,because most people believe it or not would rather spend real cash on packs then use their coins.

So as you can see from the quite shocking poll results above, 9 percent of the peoplle who voted have spent more than £500 on buying packs, This is nearly 35 people, that is a crazy amount of money, I myself have probably spent around £150 but over the course of the last three games, This just proves my packs are addictive theory!.

What pack do i buy that is the best value for money while giving me the best chance of getting a good player or two,well that's the million dollar question right there isn't it?From personal experience i would have to say that your best chance of getting a good player is from the player packs that come along every now and then,12 players with 3 rare.But they are priced at 280 Microsoft points or 25,000 coins which is a hell of a lot in my opinion.so on reflection the best value for money would be the premium gold packs at 7500 coins or 120 Microsoft points,I have had good players in both but considering you have to pay 3 times the amount of coins and points to obtain it there is not 3 times the chance of getting a good player,i would say only 1 and a half times the chance,so Premium pack all the way.

Yes packs are addictive and yes they are great fun opening and there is nothing quite like opening up a pack and finding a 85 or 96 rated player in there but it doesn't happen often enough for my liking,if you are going to spend real money on packs you are better off going to eBay and buying 100,000 coins for like £5 then you are spending £8.50 on 1000 points only to waste them on like 7 packs,yes you might get Xavi but if you brought the coins you could buy Xavi and Milito.So try and think and slow down before you reach for the controller and purchase more points.

With the new release probably not happening till November i have decided that i shall be saving up some money,just £10 a month or so until then so that when it is released i will have say £90-100 and i will blow the lot on packs and then after that I'm done,All the rest will have to come from trading no matter how bad the market gets.So what will you will be doing and have you gone the entire ultimate team series without spending a dime of your own money.
