Fix the gameplay

I’m in Canada. But I’ve had the same issues for years both here and in the UK. Their servers simply can’t handle it.

I’ve just played my last ever game. I’m both sad and relieved about it. Sad because this game should be really good, relieved because I’m not going to continue to participate and spend my time on something I care about more than the developers and community managers. This company does not care about you or your experience. This company is a pure money making machine designed to frustrate people of all ages into buying packs to improve their teams. If you’re a community mod reading this - just know that you’re complicit in it. 

I’m very fortunate that my brain doesn’t work in a way where it’s incentivised to gamble. But I feel bad for people that are wired that way through no fault of their own. I can’t imagine the misery this game must cause for people. It drains the life out of you. I was gone for two years and the issues are all the same. It’s a racket. For the people that work there that design it this way, they’re clearly just bad people. For the people who are against it internally and don’t speak up, you’re just as bad, if not worse, since you’ll have a conscience but you’re too scared to act on it.

The continued mistakes from TOTY Messi’s to people getting millions back for Sneijders and Toures. Every weekend being a sludge and sweat fest. The lack of power curve planning. The accounts on Twitter set up to incentivise people of all ages to open packs. The fact that the mods on here don’t even have the humanity within themselves to respond even if they don’t have an immediate answer. The gameplay, laser precision switches, the pass aiming that goes in different directions. The community who try and do well in Champs to improve their team - but do this by passing around the back and as such not actually taking enjoyment from the game and their team and defeating their own reason for playing. All of it. I’m done with all of it. I could be someone who spends money here and there on a pack or two, but I’m taking my money elsewhere. Life is short and I’m not spending my existence continuing in this designed cesspit.

I have to laugh

Spend 475,000 coins or £20 or whatever for the "icon pack"

And get a base Icon rated over 88

And how many base icons of over 88 are worth anything close to 475,000? 4 or 5

I guarantee the vast, vast, vast, vast majority of suckers who buy this will get a player who is worth about 50,000 max.

It is literally a rip off.

It's like the TOWT provisions. Get three TOWT players ranked 80-84 for 140,000. Or just buy them from the transfer market for less money.

The one for me is the showdown SBC’s. I struggle to understand how that is not a gamble. If you need a team to win for something on your team to get better which you may have bought for money, I struggle to understand how that is not gambling. It’s not like you’re randomly allocated a showdown SBC player. You have to contribute in game for it. And if you’ve bought packs for that, then you’re effectively putting money in a position where you’re hoping for an outcome. Maybe this post will get me banned if the mods ever get round to seeing it - but I’d rather call it out than be a mod and be complicit in this. Some life.

4th time i made iconpick+88, spended like 1000 000 players woth, and u get icons max 200000 or duplicate. This game "doesn't think"

taking the easy way, "let them play, they will buy the next edition anyway"

@BurnzeeThat's the thing

With the Icon 88 pack you know the odds are 100% you will get an 88 Icon. The problem is the vast, vast, vast, vast majority of said icons are not worth the money the pack costs, meaning you are gambling with the smallest possible chance of winning which EA forgets to tell you

And remember how EA criticised the Belgians for "robbing players the optimum way to play the game", they literally admitted giving them money was the best way to play the game
