Good deal. I loved playing Ultimate Team last year, along with Big Moments. Those were my two favorite modes.

My first 3 gold packs I snagged before launch got me: Monta Ellis, Jeff Teague, Nate Robinson.

With the 10 free launch packs I got: Blake Griffin, Damien Lillard, Zach Randolph, Taj Gibson, Wesley Matthews, Gerald Green, Steve Nash, Olipido, Calderon, Augustin.

Gold packs seem heavily loaded with Guards in general.

Some sucker was only selling an 85 OVR Al Horford for 4000 coins so I snagged that last night. I think he's definitely in the top 5 in rated centers currently.

Bought a couple packs and pulled an 86 OVR Deron Williams, so the team is getting a little better.

I thought I had a Duncan for 1500 but someone hit me late on him. Was gonna drop 7k on a K Leonard but didn't pull the trigger. I have Heyward starting at small and he is killing it from outside.

The 'coin pack' item (for me at least) on a Fantasy Challenge reward was a 1,200 Staples Center (LAC) card. I assumed they were Quicksell Cards like in MUT, but they are cards that discard for more value.

One of this week's Community Challenges is a squad I submitted. I haven't gotten more than 1,200 for a Quick Sell item, so maybe defeating the TGT team will be the one to net major coins.

cdj
11-22-2014, 08:32 AM
So, either there was a bug or EA put the wrong reward pack up for the new Community Challenge. After completing it, my pack was a full of jerseys and contracts - no Coin Reward/Quicksell cards. :smh:

The jerseys weren't worth more than usual? I thought the coin reward cards were all coaches and jerseys, but with much higher re-sale.

The pack had three jersey cards and two contracts. The jerseys were standard (150 a pop) and not the reward cards. Reward cards have the green icon on the front. These did not have that.

Have you gotten anything good on any quick sell cards? I think the highest individual card I've landed has been 1,200 with most 800 or 900.

I think I had a 2000 coin Barclay's Center. Outside of that mostly 900's with a few 1200-1500 tossed in.

Ultimate Team just has been a disappointment this year. The packs are worth nothing, especially for the price you have to pay. Nothing is in the auction house because I don't think anyone is getting big cards or just aren't buying packs like myself.

I'm pretty much done buying packs also. My team is good enough that I know the odds are slim to none that I get a player I can use at this point. I watch the auction block like a hawk now.

Once in a while I'll see someone tweet sniping a good card in the Auction House, but you're right - packs are lame, at least until they (hopefully) launch a Legend or promo pack later in the year. Maybe those will be worth considering.

Not sure as EA didn't put out a blog/article with full info. Based on one screen I saw (not even sure who shared it; wasn't EA) I'm *guessing* you play 12 games and at the end earn a random 90 OVR or higher player. I think the challenge was called '12 Days of Christmas,' so that's why I am guessing it's 12 games. Hopefully the series stays up through early January given the PSN issues.

This despite being unable to defeat some of the lead-up squads even with a better line-up. :dunno:

I would have preferred a SG or SF, but this will work. I'll likely move Dirk to SF.

A little pricey, but these packs did seem to give out some good cards. I saw/heard quite a few people showing off new players as a result.

The card design was pretty cool. Maybe the best of the year for Live.

The theory of increased odds of getting a card in a pack when you already have it was proven when I bought a Fastbreak bundle. I got the elusive Stephen Curry card after buying one the week prior.

I was sitting on 250k waiting for maybe a 94 OVR Melo ASG card, but low and behold someone was selling Dr. J for 225k and he is better all-around than Melo and still 94 OVR. I didn't work him into the offense as much in the couple games I played last night, but he was pulling down some rebounds for a shorter guy.

Dave Bing and Isiah Thomas are this weekend's legends.

IMO they are dragging out legends too long.

Based on previous legends (http://www.thegamingtailgate.com/forums/content.php?780-Tracking-Legends-in-EA-Basketball), they still have the following to start placing in packs: Bird, Iverson, Magic, Ewing, Chamberlain, Karl Malone, Hakeem, Shaq, David Robinson, Rodman, Stockton, Walton, Worthy, among others.

At some point, it won't matter who is available - people will have quit playing LUT/Live 15 and aren't going to jump back in.
