Re: This game is way too much work.

Hey there @nilsdemesm965 

How you manage your time is up to you. 

But I agree that at times (a lot of the time recently) it feels like there are too many carrots for the donkey to chase.


In recent weeks I have played Live Friendlies and Squad Battles and Champs then I stopped playing Champs to play more Friendlies and all the time I was missing out on Rivals.

I stopped doing the repeatable sbc crafting upgrade grind months ago, good drop rates of something decent never happened since probably Fifa 18 to 20.  So many times when I'm spending time doing sbc's I'm just feeling like I should be playing matches instead to get better rewards and lose less brain cells out of boredom..

I think I can cope with this level of content, in fact I want to, but it does mean that I have to choose what not to do as well as what to do, which is actually better than getting everything done when there isn't much content but yes this does leave a bitter feeling in the mind.

To be fair at this stage of the game content involving objectives should be on a vibrant festival level of things to do. Lot's of options, lot's of different possible outcomes. Basically get lost and find something new rather than follow the exact same path that everyone else might be doing.

I wish, when you see your played game time hours displayed you could get a breakdown of the hours played in Champs/Rivals/Battles/Friendlies and then also the time in sbc's and then menu screens - I reckon that I (and most players these days) have way more hours in menus than in matches compared to 10 years ago; that is the kill joy for me, too much administrative duties.

So yeah, it's about managing your time because everyone who has played FC24 is going to want to play everything in FC25 and expectations for FC25 such as multiple Evo's might happen whilst having to play Friendlies for XP alongside other game modes - I didn't even mention Draft or Moments, honestly these need improving and if they do then what can you groan about, too much game?

    They really need to tone down the sbcs trading and rewards. A little bit of those are ok but it makes people forget about playing the actual game.

    It’s to much of a grind. If you are not doing sbcs trading and playing for rewards 24/7 you fall behind. Then again the next weeks promo will replace all that you grinded anyway. 

    Don’t get me wrong they were all fun in small quantities but it’s all just a means to try to play the game. You spend more time doing that then playing. 

    Limit sbcs to a few a week. This will also stop people who ban themselves by doing them to fast. Bring back bid tokens so you limit how much and often people can trade. Make rewards much less. This will stop all the golden goals quitting raging ect. 

    All that will give people more time to enjoy playing the actual game without worrying about doing all the menu grinding.

    The problem is the game is too unrewarding.

    I play 32+ squad battles, enough rivals to get upgraded rewards, champs qualifiers, champs finals and live friendly stuff.

    The highest rated card you get are from tots picks because everything else is max 86 rated, all that time and you get a few 86's and a lifetime supply of 84 and under, now that isn't bad enough, no, then you recycle all the junk into sbc and 5 hours later you have no 86's, very few 84 and under and nothing to show for all that time apart from some junk tots cards.

    Even the guaranteed packs leave you with nothing usable 90% of the time.

    Its not the amount of packs etc the game gives, its the contents are rubbish 99% of the time.

    This game gives a giant middle finger to your time.

    yes off the pitch is more work than ever and much less back in return is best summary of it all. I mean take the jumbo rare and ultimate pack they were creme de la creme yet now literally are worthless.
