Is MUT pay2win?

[Louisville15]

What happens when you either complete all challengers, or get stuck on a hard challenge and burn through all of your contracts? At that point are you forced to pay real money if you want to keep playing and earning new things? Sorry if I'm missing something, this is my first year with MUT and I'm getting a P2W vibe.

Yeah, it's pay to win. It's annoying, and once again I got suckered in because Career Mode is broken. Spent $50 bucks and got really nothing. An average team like around an 80, no expensive cards, just a waste of money. I think I will give all of my stuff to my son, I just wish it would be quick or easy and I would.

Not necessarily. It just depends on your patience. You can use in game coins to get contract points, I believe. You can do the skills trainers outside of Ultimate Team to get some packs to replenish your roster.

I've never paid money for MUT outside of the .99 Gold Starter pack. It will take me longer to get to a 90 Overall team than someone paying money, but by the time I get there, my skills in game will be better than the guy who paid for his team.

I enjoy the challenge of building my team over time. My 9 year old son is progressing his team and has not spent a dime on it either. So it can be done without pay2win.

Currently my team is 73 rank after just a few days, my son has his team at 69 or 70. We can be competitive enough to continue winning some coins to upgrade.

No last year I had a 94 or team with no money spent.

It just takes patience and doing lots of solos you can buy contracts and players with coins

This year I'm already a 77 or with no money spent

You can avoid spending real $ if you avoid trying to complete collections. Just build up a team and have fun, once you get sucked into the collections, forgeddabout it you'll be out a grand before the year is up. Trust me.

You don't need to buy packs to win. It certainly goes an advantage, but you're perfectly able to craft an excellent team without paying a penny. It'll take longer, sure, but I think that extra development time is what makes it so satisfying once you have your ultimate team.

I only bought a few packs with 10 dollars I had left in my PSN wallet, got nothing out of it. I've got my roster up to 77 through buying players off the auction and grinding solo challenges mainly.

Nope

None of the UT's are

If you dont buy packs you just have to be smarter with your coins which is fun to me so I dont care about others buying packs with real money
