Re: Why people dont play rivals !

You can play squad battles try to qualify for wl or if you just like rivals you can still play it for fun. Honestly to me there is to much to do already. At least they dropped down the 40 games from wl. 

Forgot you can also do objective too much to remember lol. To top it off don’t forget all the sbcs and content. It’s overwhelming. 

Agree 40 wl games was way too much and all was a bit crazy  a few years ago but then lockdown helped get through it. Now it just feels as dead as ever in terms of friendlies and objectives in general. rivals well said my bit on that but no dont say play sb, seriously! Yes play that purley for objectives and well bit of bonus xp. However main game mode should be rivals and its just dull as dishwater and never been a worst time for that/old online seasons. I mean how good would that mode be but no.

Random observations from the last few weeks: 

I've noticed that there's an increasing tendency that opponents use AI for defending and only play the game themselves when attacking. 

There is an unusually high number of very skilled opponents playing in divisions 5 and 4. 

The increased weekly rewards are welcome but surely Champs rewards should be increased accordingly - there's hardly anything ever worth getting if you're a player (as me and my son are) who typically get between 6 and 9 wins every weekend. 

Maybe get more player rewards for division rivals, but the one you get depends on which division you're in. For instance D10-D8 gets a 86 icon, D7-D5 gets a 88 icon, D4-1 gets a 90 icon and elite a +92 icon. Maybe that would make people want to get into higher divisions. But i doubt EA would do something like that, because god forbid you get good cards by playing.

Icons for free as div rivals rewards is impossible to imagine, EA want as to buy packs to get high quality players. I play div 7 to 5 (I progress during the season) and the rewards that I received for 7 victories are ridiciolous. From settembre i opened rivals packs week after week (did not miss one week of rewards) and in all of those packs - div rivals rewards i had got - NOTHING. Niente di niente. The only players worth sth I got from 5*84 pack, 10*83 and similar packs. Division rivals rewards are laughable. I play rivals for fun. And I know how it sounds - rivals and fun in one sentence. But i don’t give up, i change my team to 4321 - and it’s better. I play 57 depth not 71-72 and I manage to get to champs lately fairly easy (after 7 games - 4 wins) i just keep having faith that the gameplay and fun will return to this game. But if nothing changes i want play fc 25. SO EA it’s all in your hands.

We all say that this game is played by toxic people, so Let’s not be toxic. After i won 4 games i gave away 3 victories for free. I could exit sooner with 0-0 score but i decided to be kind so maybe some other players will join.
