It's such a shame this game has just become a pay to win to a certain extent. I just played a guy in div 2 with minimum 92 overall in each position. No rare cards all special. I could tell from how bad he played that he just paid for coins and rinsed it all on players. It's such a shame that EA don't come down hard on people who buy coins.
you do relies that you can have the best cards in game and it means nothing if you are just not good at the game . As long as you have an ok team , and you are a good level at playing then you will beat worse players with super cards in there team . Cards don't get you wins, you do .
Thing is, you all been conditioned to think cards make you a better player and that's how the ea money tree works to get you to buy packs , They do not . Your skill level as a player makes you win more and that's it .
From the start of this year i have got to div three and have stayed there , don't matter what cards I got . Its my skill level that dictates my division, same goes for weekend league .
Agree. Generally speaking, as a Div 4 to Div 1 player, when I see a line-up in Rivals, I'm more worried if the opponent has an 86-rated team than if they have a 90+ one.
you do realize that even if I have a team worth more than two millions, I lost 8 rivals in a row (the number may be higher because I lost the count) with almost every game I end up having twice the shot compared to my opponent, and trust me, my attackers are expensive and very good in game. And I am too, because the last game I lost, I shot in goal 33 times, when my opponent shot 9, ending up in a 4-2 for him. Now realize me this
Dont be distracted by the ratinga of players, for it is just a trick EA is playing for us to spend money and nothing else… Rating does nothing for you for instance you have a striker with 99 pace and a defender with 76 pace, 9/10 the defender will be faster. Dont pull your self in this fake game EA is playing.
best regards
In FIFA 23 I played FUT in the Elite division without in game purchases. Now on FC 25 I can’t get past div 2. Every other team I’m playing I see Ronaldo, Pele or other 92+ players. I like the challenge because I know people are paying. But is frustrating to lose when you know you are better at the game than your opponent but still lose.
Out of interest, what is the different between
Player A buys coins and buys players he wants
Player B buys FIFA points and eventually gets the players he wants
OR
Player C buys FIFA points, buys load and load and loads of packs and then uses the coins from that to buy players
it's a greater shame that the game crashes, srewing players out of their hard-earned rewards (which have a cash component).
And for that, EA will be in trouble.
Based on the in-game currency, EA is a financial institution, as that term is defined by Section 509(3)(A) of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley ("GLB") Act, 15 U.S.C. § 6809(3)(A), and is subject to the GLB Act.
But no one has gone that far, yet. Until now.
Remember when Belgium banned loot boxes as they have a cash component and therefore are gambling?
EA's response was to blame the Belgians for "stopping players from enjoying the game to its fullest"
because you can't enjoy the game without giving EA money
No.no no. Fake.news.
On ea 25 they've started using pay to win mechanism in the online seasons play. I've gone as far as I can with this game I got to div 3 and got stuck. Everyone had super teams and player's the game can suck my nuts **bleep** eas 25. To much tinkering with the mechanism to suit the "pro" player's. It's plays like a different game each update. Im gonna play sensible soccer on the amiga instead or super kick off on the game boy.
