Ultimate Team

Store

The Store is where you use your hard-earned coins (or not if you purchase FIFA Points, which is where you use real money to purchase in game coins from EA) to buy packs. The options here are:

• Browse Packs
• FIFA Points
• Gold Packs
• A news item

Also find out about the Happy Hours.


The Gold Packs option is accessible via the Browse Packs option too. The FIFA Points option is accessible there too. FIFA Points are a way to buy FIFA Ultimate Team coins using real money (100 FIFA Points = 79 pence in British currency, with a 20% discount if you are a season ticket subscriber). This is for people who want to build a good team quickly. For cheapskates like me we prefer to build our teams slowly using in game coins and the transfer market which in my opinion represents better value than buying packs.



There are several packs available to buy in the Browse Packs section:

My packs

This is the place where any packs you have earned (by winning tournaments), got in packs (e.g. a free gold pack) or been gifted (via the FUT web app for example) can be accessed and opened.

Bronze packs

There are two bronze packs normally. These are the innovatively named Bronze Pack and the Premium Bronze Pack.





Silver Packs

Similarly there are two sets of Silver packs:





Gold Packs

This is where the best players can be picked up (if you are lucky).







FIFA Points

Here you can purchase FIFA points:

100 FIFA points	£0.79
250 FIFA points	£1.99
500 FIFA points	£3.99
750 FIFA points	£5.99
1,050 FIFA points	£7.99
1,600 FIFA points	£11.99
2,200 FIFA points	£15.99
4,600 FIFA points	£31.99
12,000 FIFA points	£79.99

As well as the above standard packs other packs become available during happy hours. These may appear in a new section called Promo Packs.

Happy Hours

• There is no set schedule for happy hours. They normally happen at times such as half-time of a big Champions League game, or the last hour or two of a MOTM card being available, or a TOTW changing over.
• To keep track of happy hours you should follow the official twitter feed @EASportsFIFA
• Happy hours are times when special packs of cards are available for purchase. These are the possible packs that are offered during happy hours:
  • Premium jumbo gold packs – costs 15,000 coins and contains 24 items, 7 of which are rare. This makes it a better deal than buying two normal premium gold packs for the same price as they would net you 24 items, but only 6 rare.
  • Gold premium player packs – costs 25,000 coins or 350 FIFA points and contains 12 players, at least 10 gold, of which 3 are rare. The value here is not good because you can open 3 gold premium packs for 22,500 and you’ll probably pick up the same amount of rare players, but also lots of consumable cards too.
  • Mega packs – costs 35,000 coins and contains 30 items, mostly gold, 18 rare items. To get 18 rare items via gold premium packs would take 6 packs at a cost of 45,000 so if you wanted the rare cards and didn’t care about the others as much you could go for these.
  • Jumbo rare player packs – costs 100,000 coins and contains 24 rare gold players. For 100,000 you could get 13 normal premium gold packs which would give you maybe 39 rare cards, of which maybe half would be players. So if it is rare players you are after (such as the in-forms) then this might be a good pack, although you don’t get all the consumables and other cards (and it works out as a 4,167 coins per card which is a lot if you don’t get an in-form).
  • Rare Player Packs – costs 50,000 coins and contains 12 gold players, all rare. Similar logic to the above so go for it if you want rare players, and don’t care about consumables.
  • Packs with a 2x chance – these give you double the chance of getting TOTW players.
  • Bronze Player Premium packs – costs 1,800 coins and contains 12 players, mostly bronze with 3 rare. These packs come out at the time of the Team of the Season Silver/Bronze team being announced (assuming that happens in FIFA 14), but also at times when there are a lot of bronzes in the TOTW. Not good value as you can probably pick up 3 rare bronze players by buying 2 normal bronze premium packs for 1,500 (750 per pack).
  • Silver Player Premium packs – 8,500 coins and contains 12 players, mostly silver with 3 rare. These packs come out at the time of the Team of the Season Silver/Bronze team being announced (assuming that happens in FIFA 14), but also at times when there are a lot of silver players in the TOTW. Not good value again, as you can probably get 3 rare players from buying 2 silver premium packs at 3,750 each (so 7,500 in total) instead.
