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...
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.
Conduct a survey of casual players, or just read through the posts on here and on social media - I'll wager my mortgage that the majority want to play more Squad Battles and less Rivals. For EA to ignore that...well, as a business strategy, it's condemning itself.
@Leelongy73If I was ea I would just look at the numbers in game.
It’s obvious what was happening. People played 40 games on beginner and would get higher than someone who played 12 but on say world class or ultimate.
Now everyone is playing 12 so people who play on ultimate are surpassing the people who played 12 on beginner.
Now that more people are playing because it’s only 12 it’s harder.
Again to me when you say causal 12 games helps casual. If you want 40 games to get ahead of people who can only play 12 that’s fine but it’s not for casual players.
Also the whole argument while I understand people are trying to argue for more games your actually make the point for less games.
You only got a higher rank because other people and I say casuals couldn’t play that many games.
You can make it 400. 800. 10,000 games if everyone played the same amount you would get the same rank. It only worked before because casuals couldn’t play 40 games. Casuals can now play all 12 games.
