You just would have to sweat a bit more to get the coins or benefits the Ultimate Edition players will get from the start.

However, If you are into hardcore gaming and you are the one to grind the Ultimate Team then you should go for the Ultimate edition as that will give you the early boost such as 4600 FC coins among others to get you started. In the end, it’s your own choice and about which edition suits you more.
