Oh and I would totally put for a mini DC league thing.
muthead.com had an average sell price of $78k today on that Roby card, so I figured that'd be my ballpark. I'll probably just hang on to him though. I feel like I'd rather have a rare elite player that can actually help my team. Maybe my thinking is wrong about it though, because I do see a lot of Elite cards going for much less and obviously this card probably won't appreciate in value.
I haven't played ranked DC yet basically because of anxiety of playing PvP in this game. I can barely beat the CPU in All-Pro solos in MUT and I'm just starting to learn how to call my own plays instead of using the suggestions. Also I do enjoy the solo challenges.
I ended up selling Roby for $75k. I put it up for 68k with a buy-it-now price of $75 and it went almost instantly after I posted it. Average sale price on MUTHead was $71k at the time I posted it so I guess I made out OK, but since it literally went within 15 seconds of me posting it I feel like I should have started off with a higher buy-it-now price.
I figured after looking at what many of the older elite cards are going for now, A.) my Roby card would depreciate exponentially, and B.) I can get a lot of older elite cards for that $75k that will improve my team a lot more than one 90 OVR cornerback would. So after doing some solos tonight and selling that card, I'm sitting on around $100k.
I'll try to figure out how to post my team but I basically have mostly gold and silver players at everything but my offensive skill positions and my mike linebacker. Ideas on good elite values or where to invest just to give myself a team that is competitive?
Wow thanks, this is the most straightforward advice I've seen for working the market. A lot of the beginner tutorials on the MUT sites load in a lot of things taken for granted that I don't really get. Like how you tell the difference between 3-4 and 4-3 defensive personnel. No idea, which is why I'm hesitant to invest in my front 7. My only elite there is an 85 CJ Moseley at MLB.
So now I'm sitting on 100k and now I'm nervous about choosing the right guys. Mo money mo problems, I guess.
I think I'm about ready to try draft champions against a real person though. I've pretty well figured out some plays and formations I like on offense, and I'm pretty decent at getting by picking defenses in MUT (although it's made easier by the fact that I have really great man coverage corners).
Here's my binder. Can't figure out how to link my current lineup without just taking screenshots (kids are watching Octonauts ATM). But what I'm really starting to discover is that building up offensive skill positions is cheap but nailing down quality defensive players is relatively pricier.
Kickers are well expensive
Also why doesn't the game come with a reset challenge button for the solo challenges? that would save so much time
I was just thinking that. Especially the challenges that set you up on defense with a few seconds left and you have to stop them from scoring. Even on rookie, it can take a few tries to stop. I'm learning you sometimes just have to cheese it with an all out blitz or a punt block play.
I got my team up to an 83 overall last night with some very mild auction house snipes. Basically shoring up my defense with some 85-87ish linebackers and D-lineman on the cheap (5000 or less, mostly gotten 2k coins or so below market value according to MUTHead) and I nailed a 91 Amari Cooper for 12,500 which I thought was a steal. He catches everything and he's so fast that I have a hard time running play action fades to him because he's out of the back of the endzone. I'm still sitting around 100k coins so I am trying to figure out what to do next here. I'm thinking I'll keep working the auction house, maybe try to flip some cards, and keep grinding out challenges. 85 OVR seems within sight now.
Dat spin move...
So I was using an 87 Barry Sanders that I believe I got as a freebie from MUT Rewards (like the 87 Strahan we got today). I was plowing through a few solos this afternoon when I noticed he wasn't hitting the corners like usual or falling forward for yards, and when I looked in my lineup he was a 70 OVR. Do those promotional cards expire after you use them a certain amount of time? Same thing happened to me with a Jerry Rice elite that I think came from a Loyalty pack when I first started MUT. I hate to quicksell him but I can't auction or put him in a set.
On the bright side, I passed 85 OVR when I replaced Barry with an 88 Gurley, but it still won't let me choose my second style. Every time I go to my lineup it prompts me to pick a second style, but the second style still appears locked. I've been stocking up on GP players in anticipation so I'm hoping this is a glitch or the servers are lagging, but it has been about 45 minutes and it still won't let me pick.
My second style finally unlocked. Had to quit the game and come back.
I think I'm more addicted to the auction house than the game itself right now TBH. Making 2k here and 4k there flipping cards. Probably should open an etrade account.
That's really stupid that a connection loss is basically a coin toss, on Fifa is works it out- oh you're 3-0 up, yep win is yours.
I just finished a 3-2 record on DC today, one of my victories was a game back from 14-0 down after giving away an interception and then a fumble in the first 2 plays. The first a guy conceded after going down by just 2 scores just before half time.
Then my last win was in OT after conceding the field goal, I went in for TD, got the clip somewhere but haven't edited it yet.
It was against the computer on Pro but damn... 88 Gurley is a machine. 98 yards to the house: http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/DedicatedLi...
Edit - Wow. Just jumped on to file away some of my low golds and silver/bronze cards into badge packs. Ended up ripping three elite badges in four packs, including one that popped in a 2-badge pack. Easy money!
If you guys are in need of players, it looks like the AH is taking a bit of a dump today. At least around 25 percent off a lot of players.
Felt guilty about getting a win on draft champions earlier, game disconnected straight after kick off and it just gave me the game instead of null and voiding it. Very silly.
That said, every game I have played but one on draft champions has gone down to the wire, not sure if that is because of the 3 min 1/4s. I just came back from 17-3 down with 2.30 mins to go to win in overtime. Also love opening packs, reminds of my collecting stickers as a kid, shame there is no "got, got, got, need, need,got" going on.
Did you guys Coin Up? Woke up to $55k in sweet sweet coin this morning from betting on Ropie.
I'm laid up for the next two weeks after undergoing foot surgery so I will be digging more into DC.
Just won my first ranked game of DC on a last second field goal. Awesome feeling. Had a 84 yard TD run my mark Ingram on my first offensive play as well.
Congrats man. Do you user your D Linemen?
Kind of depends for me. I find that the CPU does a way better job of getting to the QB than I do controlling my D ends so I usually try to user my MLB. Problem there is, I can do relatively well covering the middle or picking up an RB coming out of the backfield but I get tricked by PA all the damn time, and if you shoot a gap you sort of get glued into a blocker and you lose the ability to get back into coverage.
If I'm getting thrown on deep a lot, I'll user my SS, Bethea, and try to provide some cover on deep posts. Works ok and I'm getting better on recognizing different plays. I just picked up styles Quin at FS so I might try to user him since he's a bit faster... But his Zone Coverage stat is pretty insane and I feel like the CPU would do better with him since I run a base cover 2 most of the time.
Journey 3 solo challenge series is up. 64 more solos and the reward is a 95 overall Vic beasley card.
