indeed, if he's 17 and doesn't know he's spending money, the kid must be mentally disabled.
For those who are wondering , I spend 3000$ over the time span of 3 years, that's 1000$ a year. I know it's a lot of money, but it's only 75$ monthly if you look at it from my perspective and I play this thing pretty much all the time.
I don't have the superior teams though but certainly very good ones. IF you want the best of the best, well that's probably the amount of money you will have to spend ( 7000$), especially this year since the prices in packs are less than the years before.
A word of advice, don't put your credit card in any xbox.
I never understood paying for virtual items. It is a scam. Especially on a full priced game. Those Ultimate Team cards could easily be in the game for free. I blame mobile gaming for corrupting the industry with all this micro-transaction bullshit. I refuse to pay for that shit. I avoid modes like FUT completely. Such a waste of money.

well, Battlefront and its $50 season pass ain't looking so bad now
It doesn't work that way, If a pay money in the game I have access to better players. You can also grind and trade like crazy but my hands can't take that kind of abuse anymore nor do I like trading, so I spent money.
Better players give you a better chance at winning and winning gives you more in game credits, which in turn can get you better players again but it's not only about winning
Certain players have a certain playstyle and since a lot of these players are virtually loaded into the game with 3d cameras , it really feels like you're controlling that player, or at least it comes close. So if you're a fan of a certain player it's really nice if you can play with them. I especially like playing with legends, which are exclusive to xbox, but they're also very expensive. Pele for instance has a street value of 500-1500$ (depends on the market) and that's only one player, he is the most expensive one though.
You can also use those playstyles in your formation, do you use a target man, or you want to play the short passing game, or you just want to dribble the whole defence.
So it's a combination of skill, the players you have and the way you setup your team. The latest fifa did close the gap more between the different sorts of players, in fifa 14, if you had an 400$ team, winning was pretty easy against someone with a 25$ team. Now the skill of the one that's controlling the players has become more important. and 25$ teams can easily beat 400$ teams, if the one with the cheaper team has the better skill.
I don't like that though, this year I spend a lot less but i suppose ea wants as much people as possible to play ultimate team , or they want people like me to spend more, the very best players still feel overpowered but then you have spend way too much cash, where you have to spend more to get about the same effect as in the previous fifas. So either it will have backfired or they got more people spending while levelling the playing field but that's not the reason why people started playing ultimate team.
So I won't be buying fifa next year, because it works both ways, even if you work hard by grinding and trading, the payoff is small because the quality of the players is less important. Fifa 15 was already a step down, I thought they would fix it with 16 but it's even worse. I really hope ea's greed won't pay off, they surely won't get my money anymore.
