Strangling casual players
Hey there, So this is my first post ever here on the forums, and I am most likely going to set myself up for a "skill issue"-comment, if any comment at all. Although, I gotta say that several of t...
The issue with only having 12 squad battle matches (that give rewards) though, is that you have next to no room for mistakes, if you want to reach the better rewards. This means that most casual players need to pull out their best teams, instead of having the room to test out different styles, or use the squad battles to complete various objectives.
@thelaebyCasual players don’t have time to play 40 wl 40 squad battles 40 rivals and do sbcs and trade all day. Being able to play only 12 matches gives casuals time to compete.
Forgot 40 friendlies too. At least after the 12 you can keep playing if you have time. You no longer have to play 40. It’s nice ea finally made a change for casuals.
@RadioShaqs I think you're missing my point, with the lack of opportunity to complete objectives and it being a stressfest etc.
But at least we can agree in regards to 15 rivals wins being too much (that's if you win every game), compared to the 7 wins last year! 😞
I agree with the squad battles not having enough games. The prior amount was probably too much. I could always make elite 1 in the past if I played all of the games and would make elite 2 playing about 3/4 the games. This year I have finished in Elite 3 each time because of losing just one game I tried to play at legendary level. Also the problem is that with one of my recent refreshes I did not get any easy games. I had two games with 85 rated squads, one with an 87, and one with an 88. That makes it very difficult. I think it would be much better to have 20 games available, that is still more than half of what it was previously. Also EA should make the game refreshes more even for everyone. Of the four games, the first random squad should be a bronze/silver level, the second random squad should be a silver/ low gold level, the third random squad should be a mid gold around 80 to 84, and the final random game 86/87 or higher. This would make it so everyone is playing similar level games.
