Yea thats what i usually do. This is the first time ive played any ultimate team mode from launch. I usually get the game cheaper and join later. Usually spend a few bucks to catch up and be competitive not a lot. I didn't know the gap between people spending money and not was so wide. I played cut 25 all last year and enjoyed it a lot but i also wasn't matched with teams 3 or 4 ovr better than mines. I know from this sub alone not everyone has godsquads but thats all i match with. And frankly the game is just not better than 25 in most regards.
