FIFA 11 Ultimate Team | Weekly Update

2011-05-04
The big news in the world of games has of course been the trouble with PSN. It has been offline for a while now and in the world of FUT that means that no games have been played by our PS3 users. On the bright side, they still have full access to FUT Web and the auction market. To help out a bit, we have been giving daily gifts to all PS3 users who log into the Web App and this will continue until PSN comes back. You can hear more about this in the podcast or read about it HERE.
Podcast
This week’s podcast is bursting with content as Romily Broad joins Christophe Labrune for a chat. They’ll talk about what’s going on in the world of football and the world of FUT, touching on the Team of the Year, Team of the Week, the last word on PSN and an update to FUT Web App security. The Happy Hour could be the best one yet as it may or may not involve the Team of the Year!
