I agree with the gameplay but the pay to play thing is iffy. I think EA swing the game from time to time to benefit or balance certain players. I win the same amount of games whether I use my Toty players or icons vs when I use a Gold team. I’m currently 10 wins with this WL with a gold team and haven’t finished. The toty team I started my first few games with sucked. The three lettter acronym was through the roof trying to balance things and keep my opponent in the game.
what I’m saying it’s definitely pay to play but it’s just as unfair to someone with a good->very good team who is getting all the |)|)@
this is the first year I’ve spent a couple hundred bucks and it’s made zero difference. One game my high rated players are amazing the next they can’t even pass.
I will admit there are some players, Sawa, gullit, VVD, who are meta no matter what but the rest get nerfed occasionally due factors outside our control
What do we expect from a company whose employees were seeking icons to people for real money that they think we all forgot about
