They absolutely must reset it. I'm in a better position than most atm, but if they don't start is again, the economy and integrity of the game is ruined from the word go. It's a shame that those who've traded fairly will lose out, but they'll lose more in the long run if the game is completely fucked. At the moment, I've got around 6k, seven or eight non-rare PL golds to sell and my first 11 in place. 1st team was- Al Habsi, Santon, Vertonghen, Luiz, Johnson, Arteta, Fellaini, Britton, Assaidi, Balotelli and Sturridge. Won't matter though if everyone has got Ronaldo. They must reset it, no other option really.

A few people have posted pictures of conversations they're having with customer service. Saying 48hrs til it's back up, and the hacking stories are rumours that aren't true.

Not sure if I believe the hacks are rumours though..

The hacks ARE true. There's a well known forum that it was publicised on. It wasn't some difficult hack, any kid in their bedroom could do it. I can't believe EA hadn't patched it already, not checking on the server if the request is valid is fucking stupid.

I hope they reset it. I couldn't be arsed trading as it was a constant battle to get on, but I had Falcao in a pack who I hoped to sell for up to 100k when the game was out. He won't be worth anything if the market is flooded though.

The hack does seem to have happened. Loads of people posted legit looking screenshots of all the 85+ players they got for 200 coins. EA are in a very delicate situation right now. There's nothing they can do that doesn't upset a lot of people. A reset is the fairest thing, and even that's rather unsatisfactory. The in-game economy is totally fucked. Millions of coins that shouldn't be out there are, and there's hundreds of Ronaldo's and Messi's out there that will distort the economy further. They can only reset, but they'll probably do something highly buffoon-like. Ban some and allow the game to be ruined from the get go. A lot who spend actual money in the game are already threatening a boycott. If EA realise they could lose a lot of money, they'll probably kowtow to the masses.

A reset is rumoured. It's players like you who a reset is unfair on, but if they don't reset, you're Xavi will probably be worthless as the market is currently flooded with him.

Are you too old to of played with footy stickers/pokemon cards/yu-gi-oh cards? If not its like that really.

A card game were you buy packs or buy players of people and play with the team you acquire by doing so.

It's really fun to be honest once you get into it.

I have pre-ordered the ultimate edition.  If they do not reset I am cancelling my pre-order.

What's the point of paying extra for the gold packs, when all the player will be utterly worthless when I open them? Also, why would anyone spend MS points or PSN points on worthless packs?  This is why I think EA will reset as it will cost them financially.

Anyone that has a season ticket should demand a refund for the same reason.

You can get it in store too, or you could last year. But I would wait, if they don't sort this shit out then the gold packs will be worthless, you won't be able to sell the players.

I'm probably cancelling my ultimate edition and ordering the standard one as there will be no benefit.

They will sort out this mess mate, EA make mega money on UT all year long so they will focus all their attention on sorting this out.

Actually last year i got the normal one for Ł25, then managed to get the ultimate edition code for Ł3 online. Not sure if they will be available again this year though.

Back into the web app.

I'm on PS3 atm, and the market doesn't look too bad. There are no Messi or Ronaldo's up so maybe they've fixed the issue?

Fuck it selling everyone I got bar Sahin, Brazilian bronze rare dude and Donnelly from Swansea.

Not sure whether to buy a gold pack in the hope I strike a bit of luck or go and luck for a few bargains, hmm, temptation with packs is so big when it just comes out.

I've sold/traded up to 5k, which is just enough to get a gold pack now. Trying to fight the temptation though, as there are some bargains (to keep or trade) to be had.

Yeah I'm in all my players are there so I'm happy :)

If you're looking for players to make a profit on, silvers are always good for that. Strikers/wingers with high pace and 4* skills usually cost a fair bit once the game starts up. Same with the really quick bronzes that are from English/Spanish/French leagues.

That's a great tool to have a look at players and see their in game stats/what skills and weak foot level they have.

Basically showing the good silver players you should be looking at, these will be going for a lot more than they are at the moment when it comes out I'd say. Got a few on my watch list at the moment.A

No problem! Would rather a few of us on RAWK try to get in on UT early instead of those nobs on the EA Forum getting a monopoly on the market before its even out! A few silvers already are basically owned by the same guy and with that he can manipulate the price of them, bit annoying I suppose but just on of them things.
