Everyone who comes to FIFA 23 with the goal of playing against live players needs to remember that the main value is represented by game coins and football players.
These are randomly obtained from game sets.
With coins, everything is simple - FIFA 23 provides a lot of tools and modes for obtaining them, which we will talk about in this guide.
With sets, everything is a little more complicated due to several gradations of quality and different costs, as well as difficulties in obtaining game packs, but we will analyze them as part of the current guide.
Game sets
Sets are game cards of random football players that can be bought for FIFA coins, or obtained for various activities.
There are several types of sets in total, which are divided by their value, reward and cost to purchase and open.
Bronze sets are a great way to create your first playable squad. Considering that initially you get not standard players of the selected team, but random performers, it is better to strengthen the game squad gradually.
Bronze sets are the cheapest in terms of the number of FIFA coins needed to exchange.
When you get a strong enough and played lineup for your level, then move on to silver, and then to gold players.
Of course, you need to strive for special sets - they allow you to get the best players of our time, which cannot be obtained in any other way, except perhaps through the transfer window from other gamers, but the price will be appropriate, since you need to take into account rarity and uniqueness.
Game modes and their value for beginners
Squad Battles
The first and in fact the most optimal introductory mode. You use your game team to play against lineups assembled by other gamers, but under the guidance of artificial intelligence.
You can adjust your opponent's difficulty level and play against them to train and test your squad while earning victory points that will be calculated at the end of the week and converted into in-game rewards and FIFA 23 coins.
Moments
A special mode in FIFA 23, during which you need to strictly follow the game task in the form of approach and implementation of the proposed game situation.
You must have the right selection of players and very accurate fulfillment of all conditions in order to complete the moment with three stars out of three possible and receive the maximum reward in the end.
Draft arena
The mode during which you collect your composition based on the cards that are offered to you for each specific position.
Your task is to choose performers and play matches against AI, or live players. You will receive a reward when you get 4 wins in this mode.
Division Rivals
Division Rivals is a separate mode that is also a separate qualifier for the weekend tournament.
A balanced format where you play against players who are matched exclusively by your divisional placement and matches are played in a standard format of 90 minutes of playing time, no extra time or penalty shootouts with a potential draw.
Based on the results of the week, you will receive final points depending on wins, losses and draws.
If you manage to score 1250 points, you will qualify for the playoffs.
FUT Champions Playoffs
This is a qualification and a chance to get into the weekend league where you can earn player packs and FIFA coins.
You will play 10 games against random opponents without being tied to divisions.
There can be no draws - each match will be played with overtime and a penalty shoot-out if required to determine the winner.
For each win, you will receive 4 points, for a loss 1. Your task is to get at least 4 wins to get the right to calibrate to the weekend league.
Weekend League
The finale of all your efforts and the final stage of all calibrations and games in the division.
You will have 20 games and a segment of tasks that you will progress through if you win. Each next stage will be much more difficult to pass than the previous ones, but it is here that large sets with good players and a large supply of FIFA 23 coins are mined.
Transfer window
If you have a good budget in the form of FIFA 23 coins, you can always try to buy a ready-made football player, rather than trying to get one from kits.
Of course, the more valuable the player and the higher the skill level, the more other gamers will ask for the right to own this performer.
The same principle works in the opposite direction - if you got a player who is valuable in the gaming community, but does not carry much significance in your team, then you can put it up for sale, having previously monitored potential prices from other players, so as not to sell the player too cheap and not overprice, not being able to realize the performer for too long.
Football matches
Of course, you should not forget about the basics and meaning of playing FIFA Ultimate Team - these are simple matches.
Firstly, such fights bring the experience of personal meetings against live players and the development of their own tactics and general confidence in their actions, which definitely affect the result and promotion in the divisions.
Also, each full-time match will bring you and FIFA coins, depending on the outcome of the match. For a win there will be the highest reward, for a draw the average between win and loss and for a loss you will still receive consolation coins
Please note that the division system is designed to select the best opponents for an interesting level of play.
If you can't cope with your current opponents and often suffer defeats, then you will be transferred to a weaker division very soon, until you update the line-up and gain experience in playing better and more consistently, and as soon as the first series of victories appear, you will start progressing in divisions quite quickly.
FIFA 23 has a pretty good matchmaking system and you won't often face opponents who are here by accident or have not been calibrated, but have a squad and experience far superior to this division.
