New Unis

Recently Fifa has been trying to go outside the box and enticing players to continue playing. One of the ways they have done this is by adding different rewards other than coins for completing various tasks. 

Originally they just had a jersey for winning the division 1 title. The jersey is pretty fresh. It's mostly black with some gold trim and "EA SPORTS" across the chest. I won these jerseys a few weeks ago and obviously had to make them one of my two kits. Before I had won it I was always a bit hesitant to play someone who was wearing this jersey. Because typically if you've won division 1 you're pretty good. So as I started wearing these I noticed people would leave the game more often because they knew I had won division 1 so obviously they would rather search for a new game without someone who won division 1.

More recently in honor of ultimate team's 7th year of existence they released a tournament with different prizes for each win. The first win was another jersey. Honestly I didn't even think this one was that sick but having it just gives you that status as a boss. I managed to win the tournament on my first try so I got the gold kit and then both my kits were ones you needed to earn which I thought was pretty cool. I tried to win the tournament again because you got better rewards each time you won but I just couldn't, I went into some kind of fifa drought where I just couldn't win a game.

I really like what Fifa is doing with rewards other than coins, it really does make people want to win these unique prizes that most people will not have. Unfortunately when I was using both these kits as my game kits, half of my games I connected to the player would quit after seeing I had one or both of these. So since I have changed to regular kits that you just buy with coins. 

I think it would be good if you were forced to use a light kit for home and a dark kit for away so that the opponent doesn't see your kit. And you also won't come up against a team with the same kit. This change definitely wouldn't come this year but it could be a possible change to next year if EA want's to continue making these cool rewards.

Im to da league

As you can probably imagine it's hard to play Fifa games all the time and not have it get bland. This has happened to me a bit so I researched for something else I could do that would maybe give me a more of a challenge. 

I found out about Major League Gaming. MLG is most known for games like Call of Duty and Halo but they do offer Fifa. The way it works is you can "Create a team" and its free so its very easy and then you can get matched up for games and the result will give you points to move up or down the ladder. At the end of the season, which is about 3 months, there is playoffs to see who the best player is.

I started a team and named it Bobito United. Immediately I could tell that it wasn't very popular because there were only two other teams searching for a game. I was looking forward to the competition and really trying to win. The set up for the ladder is unfair in a way because your team matters a lot. Since it is ultimate team you can create your own team to play with so even though one player might be better the other might win because they have a better team. I have played four games now and I think my team has been better most of the time.

As you can see I have won all four of my games and that was enough to get me all the way up into 5th place. I'm a big perfectionist so I'm gonna be pretty pissed if I eventually lose. 

I think what I'm gonna is finish his season and then go into the playoffs and try to win, but I don't think I will play this again after this season because its a lot of work just to play one game. And its really not that competitive clearly if all I had to do was win 4 games to move up to 5th place. So I guess after that I'll have to brain storm some other things to do.

Also my player career of Albus Dumbledore got deleted somehow so I had to restart it and now I'm at the same part I was at before so I'll make another pos about that once I play some more.
