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...
@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! 😞
Most people are not saying "they want 40 games in every mode". What people are saying, especially the casual players, is that they want more Squad Battles and less Rivals wins for rewards. For example, EA could've said 20 Squad Battles per week and 10 Rivals wins. But it went more extreme, with 12 Squad Battles, 15 Rivals wins. I'm not considering weekend league because EA has said that Champs is only for the best players, which will not include most casual players. Casual players, by nature, won't be trading all day long and doing every SBC available. EA just seems to have gone out of its way to alienate the majority of its customers, which is a very odd business strategy!

I agree. Im a causual player who loves the idea of building a football team with icons and current players and that is the draw of it for me but i dont want the stress or hassle of playing online as it really raises my anxiety levels and i just like to chill and play 5 or 6 squad battles a night and do a few SBC's and i dont care that i dont get a team as good as those who do rivals and champions as my team is for me and nobody else but i also know that if i want a better team its there if i want it. I think that 12 matches is a big loss to the casual player. For me UT was the best way to dive in and play casual matches without having to manage a team or do training as a player and just enjoy playing football. If it stays like this i think this will be my last version.
