FIFA 11 Ultimate Team Producer Q&A

The fresh and new FIFA 11 Ultimate Team (FUT) Web app launched today. Luckily, we had a chance to talk with FUT producer Paul Hossack about the launching of the new Web app, as well as the changes to this popular mode that will be released on November 3.

Operation Sports: When you choose to play a friend in FUT this year, will those games count towards your ranking and earn you points for cards, or will they be unranked matches?

Paul Hossack: The team is really excited about finally delivering the Play-A-Friend feature. They will be unranked matches. Essentially, you can invite any of your friends for a head-to-head online match in FUT 11. When you are matching up, you can both pick which squad you will use, and you can see the name and rating of the squad they are picking so you can get an even matchup. In Play-A-Friend matches, your players do not use up any contracts, so you can play against your mates as much as you like. Also, no coins are awarded in Play-A-Friend matches to avoid exploits -- so these matches are truly "Friendlies" (sorry for the pun).
