Match Coins Guide for FIFA 15 Ultimate Team
Every year, EA makes a few changes to the game. The match coins you get every time you play is no exception. Even if you think you already know how it works, you should read our explanation. It will help you to make better decisions and improve the amount of coins you earn.
Match Coins Awarded (MCA) are the coins you get every time you play a Ultimate Team match.
They depend of how much time you played, how well have you played, the match category, the active EAS FC bonus and the competition performance:
MCA = (Skill Rewards x DNF Multiplier) + Completion Award + EAS FC Coin Boost + Competition Reward
As you can see in ‘summary’, to calculate the match coins awarded you need to know the Skill Rewards, the DNF Multiplier, the EAS FC Coins Boost, the Competition Reward and the Completion Award.
Skill Rewards

It is the sum of the bonuses by scored goals, shots on target, successful tackles, corners, clean sheets, pass accuracy, possession and man of the match and the sum of the penalties by against goals, fouls, cards and off sides according to the following table:

Coefficient that measures the number of unfinished matches (Did Not Finish), as well as the importance and difficulty of the different game modes and opponents.

The DNF Multiplier drops 0.25 x A per each incomplete match (A depends of the game mode).
The DNF Multiplier rises 0.02 x A per each complete match (A depends of the game mode).
It depends of the game mode:
0.63 On line Seasons

- 5 coins for each foul instead of 1 coins as it was in FUT 14;
50 coins limit for shots on target instead of 75 coins limit as it was in FUT 14;
DNF and Multiplier are shown in FUT 15 as a single coefficient;
several other changes on the DNF / Multiplier coefficient.
FUT 13 >> FUT 14
- 10 coins for each card instead of 5 coins as it was in FUT 13;
75 coins for clean sheet instead of 35 coins it was in FUT 13;
20 coins for each conceded goal instead of 15 coins it was in FUT 13;
15 coins for man of the match instead of 10 coins it was in FUT 13;
several changes on the multiplier coefficient.
Hello, I won FUT Season with Computer 1 division with legendary. They announced to me that i have 2 gold pack, but i didnt receive it. What is the problem? and how to get my 2 gold packs?
Check if they are not under ‘My Packs’ in your store. Otherwise, you will need to ask for help to EA Support.
Do you know when new price range updates will take place? I know it is usually on Tuesday but do you think it will happen again tomorrow
They may skip a week.
Hi Rodrigo what is the max amount of coins you could get in a match
Good question.
Let’s see:
MCA = 570 x 1,13 + 325 = 969 coins
You can get more coins with competition award and EAS FC Boost.
I noticed recently in the FUT birthday cup that I was getting much more match coins than the regular champions shield. I was getting around 800 instead of 500 coins. Is there an explanation for this?
Yes. the completion bonus is over 500 coins rather than 325 for special online cup matches. Rodrigo needs to fix this.
Hi Neel.
I have tested this weekend in several game modes and I got 325 coins for all of them.
What is your platform ? Anyone can check the completion bonus and say for which game mode it was, please ?
I can further confirm that on the weekly tournaments (add the “Bleu Blanc Rouge” as an example) you’re being given 550 coins, at least in online matches. My platform is PS3 but I have no doubt there are other platforms with this special reward.
Thank you very much, David.
Anyone with other platforms can check the completion reward, please ?
Hi!
In order to answer that question I need to see the screenshot of your match coins report. It can be many things.
Nice work Rodrigo. I actually think that EA have the number of coins you get from a game right ATM – and I think increasing the number of coins would only result in an increase in the prices of players as more coins get circulated around the market, thus making a coin less valuable. EA should maybe look at making players less rare on the market which would naturally decrease player price due to the influx of more of the same card.
The only thing that I would add would be a ‘reward system’ that would give you an additional prize for a stellar performance from your team or player, separate from the match award.
Thank you.
