As you all know, if your loosing and you quit a game, the other player gets a win, but I’ve just found out and tested that if you quit the game in the first half they don’t get the win as long as it’s 0-0. So if the other player is using skills etc and you think your going to lose, just make sure to quit the game in the first half at 0-0

just realized I dont think ive ever done SBCs besides the ones that were mandated. i dont even play the game now but when I did I didn’t see the point of spending time playing to get players that only increase performance by 10% or so. if you arent good at the game you arent good, no players will fix this

This is my first year of FUT’s and I first loved it for the evolutions. I loved being able to evo my favourite past and present players to make them usable, tinkering with the chains and seeing all the possibilities.

But lately with the new evo’s and the season pass that usually provides the evo users a reason to get the pass, it’s evident they are heavily toning down the power curve of the evo’s to make you want to buy packs with money. 88 rating evo’s when there’s 4 play style players in packs makes you feel real bad when you can’t even compete against the pay to win players.

Funnily enough, the only times I bought a store pack were for the evolution packs, or the FUT birthday packs (with coins I made from playing) because it was fun customising the players. It’s kinda crazy how delusional EA are.

I need some help here, rebuilding my team but I wanna know what formations people find fun to use. I usually use narrower formations but I've heard people say that wingers are pretty important this year.

I'll be the first to admit I am not that good at this game. In the past 2 years I would get decent rewards from squad battles and rivals. I have only ever qualified for Champs once and I lost every game, but that's fine. This year though they've made squad battles sweaty with terrible rewards and they've made Rivals rewards terrible (especially if you're in division 7 like me).

But there are still decent rewards in live events which seem like they could be fun. So why do I almost exclusively get matched up with players with 10+ year old accounts with champions flair on multiple cards? I haven't been eligible to play champions this whole year. This isn't too complain that life should be so much easier for me, but rather why is my only purpose in this mode to be cannon fodder for players that are all more talented than me? Shouldn't they get an actual challenge?

Have I missed something? Where the hell are the evos??? Apart from the early x20 evo, we are forced to do silver superstar evolutions, which is the most boring crap imaginable. Stop telling us what to do EA, this is some utter utter garbage and I was indeed a fool for paying in advance for premium. On first glance, this is the worse season so far by some distance, am I wrong? Hopefully I am.

I’ll load into fc and ultimate team then a max of 5 minutes later the whole game will crash and the EA app will open. This has been going on since I downloaded last weekend and the only thing that has worked to fix this is uninstalling the reinstalling. Anybody had a similar issue and found a solution?

Why does EA make the game mode requirements so dumb especially this late in the game cycle.

Spirit of Africa only takes 2 African players that can be on your bench…. What is the point?

All of our clubs are stock full of players! Let’s see people use new players for once

Hey,

I have now around a million to spend, and thought about mariona toty, because what ive heard, she i amazing.

Or should i save for vitinha toty?

At least let me get a goal.. please and thank you.

So I played a lot for the first 6 months of the game. I have now built two squads that I am fully content with. One with my favorite team PaP and one with nice evos and players I’ve packed that I like. I can’t really upgrade anymore other than the odd EVO every now and then. And as soon as I felt that - I stopped playing, haven’t played more than a couple of game since then and have no desire to play anymore.

For me this is a sign of the addictive nature of the game, always play for more and more and more. I managed to not get sucked in in the debates and complaints, just been trying to play a game of the sport I like with the players I like. And now I’ve managed to break loose from the will to always play more, do every objective, fomo etc, and I don’t think I will buy another FIFA which is the end of an era for me.

Feels pretty good tbh, I think this game has turned into a real addiction and isn’t what it was 15 years ago when all that mattered was beating your mates in kick off.

Will also be leaving this sub to get rid of all the negativity, cuz damn! Fifa player of 25 years - signing out!

I get so annoyed when every player is 80+ all stats. I genuinely enjoy the game so much less now that Gullit Gang is not even special. There are too many promos, too much power creep and it's freaking ridiculous. I was thinking of a different approach that would still allow EA to be money hungry, but not ruin their game.

FC should keep the bi-weekly promo cycle, but stop making every promo raise the power ceiling.

Right now, the market gets flooded way too fast with high-rated cards, and everything loses value almost immediately. Cards are worthless at each release of the new promot. The ONLY cards that hold value are "famous" or "meta" cards. And the best part, you're literally paying for the name and PS combo; because there are 10 other cards with similar stats.

Trading used to be a big draw for many players; but now if you're not day trading its worthless.  People drop off far too early in the game cycle now for so many different reasons.

I think a more strategic move is:

• Standard bi-weekly promos = new theme, new players, better chemistry, playstyle changes, position changes, squad variety, etc. The more "creative" promos.  2nd team release in Week 2.
• Premium Promos = the only promos that actually raise the stat power ceiling.

Things like Black Friday, for example, should stay focused on being a market event rather than another power creep event.

Keep the Premium Promos separated enough that trading, card value, and utility actually make it fun to pack cards again. When 90% of the promo are with 20k or less there's an issue. . .its diluted, the player pool is too saturated with boosted stats.

I genuinely think this would be better for both player retention/enjoyment and EA’s wallets.  Two things that are better for the overall game as it benefits the company and players.

The standard promos would still sell packs because people still care about:

• good links/chem boosts
• good playstyles
• useful/meta and different player selection
• Players actually retain value for more than a week.

But now the actual Premium Promos mean something, because they are not happening every two weeks.

Total random hip shot idea for a schedule:

• Mid September — Launch / Standard Promos
• Early October — Premium Promo #1
• Late October / Mid November — Standard Promos
• Late November — Black Friday Market Event - Not a new ceiling jump
• Mid/Late December — Premium Promo #2 (FUTmas)
• Mid January — Premium Promo #3 (TOTY - unfortunately these two are close together. Maybe push this to later)
• February — Standard Promos
• Mid March — Premium Promo #4
• April — Standard Promos
• Late May / Early June — Premium Promo #5
• Late July — Premium Promo #6
• August — Best Of / Endgame / Catch-up content

Since this constant need to pump out content, I see myself not playing beyond December anymore. Instead of diluting the market, be more creative with the content releases. Make there actually be a reason to save packs. Make packing cards actually mean something again.

Food for thought. I posted this on the EA forums, but there's literally no discussion there - so curious of people's thoughts here as well.
