Day 7.....FUT Packs & A Silver Lining.

Evening Guys!

First off apologies on missing a couple of days, crazy stuff with work, decorating the house and a whole other load of boring stuff that needed to be done, can't say it wont happen again but i promise i will always be back.

So back to business.

To kick off i wanted to talk about FUT Gold packs, now being the big idiot that i am i do come across a bit of spare money from time to time and being the bigger idiot that i am i sometimes splash out on buying gold packs in FUT, now i have spent alot of money on packs but i always seem to get the worst of the worst of players, just absolute crap, constantly getting players between 75-82 worth at best 2k, so how are EA working this one?

The short answer I'm afraid is.....i don't have a clue, i really don't, theories get thrown about but there is no patten as such, people have said go and buy between 2am and 5am to beat the peak times but there's no way I'm ever up at that time, what i want from the community this time is to rack your brain and think back to FIFA 12 FUT, now i was never the best trader but I'm sure there is a few of you that are, so is it alot harder to trade this year than last?

My theory on this resorts again back to the coins, EA have addressed what they thought was an issue last year when people traded to make coins up, if they make the coins up to buy a great team it means.......You don't buy FIFA points.

The market has been overloaded with in no uncertain terms shite and the players that make up the most profit when sold are rare but that doesn't stop EA from plastering where ever they can "you could get a team of the week player!" or "team of the year player!" now there worth alot so are very rare which is understandable but surely when you open enough packs you have to be in with a very good shot to get a decent player.

I cant tell you the amount of packs I've bought (if i work that out i will have a break down and cry) but its alot and i mean alot and the players I've had that have been memorable is as follows:-

Sergio Ramos - He went for 125k
Wesley Schneider - He went for about 10k
and a couple of team of the week players, one silver (went for 3k, i was fuming as discarded would go for 6k i think but i think there was server issues)
and gold went for 12k.

And that's it! now i see on youtube very very popular channels and they open packs and get.......yes that's right TOTY players, this is far fetched granted but hear me out.

If you have someone like KSI who has over 1 million subscribers and people watch his videos all day long it's technically promoting fifa 13, he has fun people see this and he is getting awesome players, so now people think "I'm going to give this ago!" how hard would it be for EA to have KSI's ip address and to make it so he gets more often than not great players.

That explained would you do the same in EA's shoes?

On a different note i wanted to bring your attention to something that was never going to be part of my blog but this guy got in touch with me to check out his youtube channel, i get a ton of these and i do my best to see what's happening and i was very surprised to find i laughed my ass off, this guy unlike alot of youtube channels to do with fifa is genuinely funny. I cant get enough of his channel and it's a decent trip going through his FUT journey with the running commentary, his name is DerekRantsGaming and his channel address is - http://www.youtube.com/user/DerekRantsGaming
