My preorder for Ultimate from EB games now due to arrive next week. After the regular release. So that was money well worth spending .

They didn't offer to change the method from home delivery to instore pickup like Mario 3D All Stars so was stuck with delayed delivery.

Spoke to them over phone (was 28th in line at one point - >45mins wait) and they offered a $10 gift card and shipping back which is an awfully garbage apology.

Think I may have finally reached the tipping point with them tbh.

Anyone have their Amazon preorder arrive yet?

Just when you think squad battles can't get anymore frustrating they have the AI come out this year dribbling around everyone and abusing the always OP drag back move in the box every time they go forward. Ratings don't even matter with the ai.

Other than that I'm enjoying it more than previous releases so far.

That is an absolute joke. Utterly ridiculous and you pay more with them than anywhere else.

Yep. Came about an hour ago. Putting it in now!

Packed Bale out of one of the advanced SBC's, selling him on for Immobile, Insigne and Gnabry. Kind of insane just how much Premier League players go for.

It's insane that an 83 overall goes for 100k and then an 88 Kane goes for 25k. Cheap to build a stacked side this year can get a bunch of 85-88 overalls for 8-30k.

What’s everyone’s go to formation?

What’s everyone’s go to formation?

4-2-3-1 wide. Can leave you vulnerable on the counter if you keep sending LDM and RDM for runs forward tho, which I tend to do a lot

4-4-1-1 / 4-3-3

Need to try out some new ones

If you're playing Squad Battles on Legendary or Ultimate abd struggling i recommend turning off competitor mode. That should hopefully stop the constant bs harlem globetrotter crap the AI pulls off.

Even with it off, I still find they are still doing a ridiculous number of dragbacks.

I was only told about today so i haven't had a chance to try it out yet but that doesn't sound promising. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't such an overpowering move.

Besides those already mentioned, Jakub Błaszczykowski, Sven Bender, Shinji Kagawa, Neven Subotic and Kevin Großkreutz from the Klopp era come to mind. Hopefully Götze gets added in now that he has signed for PSV.

Couple other's not mentioned yet Sokratis, Adnan Januzaj, Ivan Perisic, Ciro Immobile and Kevin Prince Boateng. There were guys like Antonio Rudiger, Kerem Demirbay and Marcel Halstenberg who didn't play a game but were part of the youth system there.

Very helpful, you’re all superstars.

Sterling! Silva!

Now it's pay $140 to get the one new kit a few days before the plebs

What even is a street date anyway? Get the stock in, sell it. Why is revenue cemented to one certain date?

Haha I am one of those old school plebs. I think employees at EB games, JB HIFI etc. used to to accidentally sell their stock a day or two early. When people showed receipts/took photos, it would spread and other stores would be forced to start selling. The same happened with AFL Evolution. Different calibre of game though...

Anyone else getting a troubles communicating with ea servers error message after a ggme is finished ? Just lost 3 SB matches after winning all 3 because of it. It's still connecting to the ea servers no problems and only boots me after the final whistle. The losses aren't going against my overall record either but it costs me points and counts as a game played in SB, very annoying.

Packed Ter Stegen in one of my starter packs with the EA Play edition and sold him for $50k and have built an ok Premier League squad. Haven't played a game yet but happy enough with this start.
