@DRUMMONDINHO7 this new system allows you to explore EAFC a lot easier. Whilst it's only 12 games (+ the 2 Featured), it's better rewards than previous years. The issue is lack of engagement because people had to play 20 more games. It just felt like a crappier WL with not that great rewards.

DR is the main game mode for Online play, whilst the elites get WL. If you run out of things to do, play the other modes -- or get off FUT and play Career!

But what exactly are you complaining about? Have you even seen the rewards for squad battles? They're decent. You can make well over "22k" now...

@DRUMMONDINHO7 I didn't say you only played Battles, just said this change allows you to play more game modes whether you already play them or not. You might continue with your education as you clearly don't know how to read.

For me, the change is welcomed, I like being able to get better rewards than last year with lesser games played. This will help me ensure I finish the other modes objectives, milestones, and give me more time to Evo players as well.

I don't see what there is to complain about.

And, yes... You can share your opinion as i can too. The forum is called "Answers." Not "Questions without answers." Lol

@Izzy_FUT_Dubs Right up until you lose games because the game crashes (which is happening semi-regularly to everyone) or you lose connection to the EA server for 0.0000000001 seconds and the game kicks you out.

While annoying before, it's even more annoying now as you have less games to play with.

But I guess you have your usual "well it's not the games fault it crashed" response since god forbid you criticise the game, you are the chap last year who said "it's not the games fault the player you spent a million coins on doesn't work properly, you should use a 800 player instead it's much more fun"

@sniperfox29 I'm sorry you're constantly having connection issues. I haven't crashed once. You had the same issue last year, yet here you are again this year.

@Izzy_FUT_DubsI notice you ignored the actual point of the post.

Games crash, that is a fact of life and yes this one does indeed crash
Connections get lost, especially with EA who kick you off their servers if you lose connection for more than 0.000000001 seconds and have no attempts to reconnect.

So don't you think for a tiny, tiny, tiny minute people might not be too happy if this happens on a mode where you have reduced the number of games available?

Or will you ignore this point again because you refuse to criticise anything they do?

And before you say anything, there is a very easily solution to this. If you are winning a game and it crashes, then you get to replay the game, if you are losing, then fair enough. In this scenario, rage quitters don't win, and peeople generally screwed over by EA's poor programming get what they deserve.

I'm also going to bet you haven't had the game store crash or the menu bugs like EVERYONE else in the world, because you have your special copy that is perfect

@sniperfox29 I don't deny people's game crashes, I know from hearing about how all year yours did. And, I also understand that it's not fair if you're winning and the game crashes that it should count as a game.

There are many issues with the game. For me, the game crashing is not one of them while in a match. I've had the game crash on me several times while in the menus and such but never after a game.

You're wrong to think I don't criticize EA about their game because I constantly do. We ask about the servers all the time and how they're probably outdated. Some of the other volunteers work in tech and they recognize this issue could be solved via a myriad of different ways but to no avail.

It's unfortunate and I've come to realize this game isn't meant for everyone in any part of the world. The truth is this game plays better in certain parts of the world and the rest of us not in those parts have to suffer, some (like you) more than others.

@Izzy_FUT_Dubs Again you ignore the point because you refuse to admit there is a valid reason some people may not like the games being reduced.

Since people didn't usually reach the cap in previous editions, you had enough "wiggle" room you could eat a loss due to terrible programming, now you do not

Don't you understand why people may be very cross at this, or because your magical game from happy land never crashes its "not your problem"

@Izzy_FUT_Dubs This might be the best i ever read in this forum, iam not really a Ea player, i dont buy their games myself.

But at the end of the life cycle of the game iam download it for free, iam working myself as a programmer and in it and find the game and company very intresting on many ways.

Iam playing 99.9 fps games, and i got one of the best connection there is to get for money, i got this thru the company i work, i also play on booth Pc ( mostly only dream to have ) also thru the company i working at but also a Ps5, the only game i cant play is Ea games, its a slow and sluggish gameplay for me, the menus are slow, the mechanic in game is bit working at all.

But every other game iam more or less an elite player in, so why cant i who got one of the best connection and gear cant play just this game.

The answear is ofcourse the servers, this aint no critic at all but its the same people who complain about the game as last year, i understand that you guys want to be able to play youre favorite game, i really do, but the servers are to bad/overfilled and you problaby live to far away from the servers and that have som major effects on youre gameplay, ofcourse there is a lot of people who can play it but mostly so people who live near this servers.

I would maybe react the same if it would be Fortn or C..od for example, the amount of help you can get from a forum is limited, i would suggest you guys test the diffrent steps in Ea manual and if that aint working its never gonna work, this guys who work here cant help you with that and nothing helps to complain or try to make them look bad.

The game is not for everybody and if you have issues in the past you most likely would have them in the future in just this game.

Thnx for a honest post.

@xXEliteWPlayerXx I pay over $140 a month for Internet, and this seems to be the only game that has input delay and or I get lag in.

It saddens me to know many have connection issues, some to the point of them constantly disconnecting and the game being unplayable! ;(

Unfortunately, I don't think everyone can get a good experience simply because of, like you said, they either live too far from the servers or the servers are too overfilled...

@sniperfox29 I didn't ignore the point. But, why don't you tell me your sweet spot. How many games would you like if not 12? 32 like last year, or how about we double them and do 64?

The truth is, even if you get more games, it's based on average user points. So it doesn't really matter how many games you play for and or win or lose because you'll still end up with less points than others who didn't lose any. It's not reach a static point goal. Even at 32 games, people couldn't reach Elite because of it! Lol

The argument is invalid anyways.

@Izzy_FUT_Dubs And if you have lots of games that you lose out on because of a crash, your average will be, get this, LOWER

And if what you said was true, why did I go from easily making Elite 1 or 2 last year to getting gold 1 this year? Oh right, LESS GAMES

You have proven, to all to see, you are indeed the EA shill we all knew you were.

Don't bother to contact me anymore, if I could block you I would because I don't want you sullying my screen anymore.

In fact, don't worry, I won't ever come back to this toxic pit of excuses anymore, I am done.

Goodbye, give my regards to oblivion

While disconnecting or crashing is a bummer I am not sure what that has to do with this thread. If you had to play more games in squad battles like last year it wouldn’t make any difference if you disconnect or have the game crash.

Every year there seems to be a complain about something added or something changed in the game. Now, my main mode is (was?) Squad
Battles. Do I like that now there are only 14 matches? No. Will I stop playing Squad Battles? No. Do I have any intention to explore any of the online modes within UT? No. Will EA get any more money from me? No. At the end we as players have the power even if that power is to move on from.the game.

just wondering if you’re having some games give 0 points earned. as I’ve had that on my past three games consecutively and also had it sporadically before that. I play on semi-pro or pro difficulty and have tried refreshing the game and console without any success. if you know of a way around it or a way it can be fixed I would love to know, cheers

@Izzy_FUT_DubsYou're attitude is way out of hand.
Hope they strip you of your "hero" for making such dumb answers "get of and play career mode".

Alot of us prefer the hefty grind of SB's as not all of us play Rivals or the extremly stressful (for me) Champions or as you call it "weekend leagye" even though it starts and end before that.

I lo ed grinding SB's as i enjoy the aspect of the "offline" mode in it and so does alot of my friends as well.
Yes it's good for you and people like you to grind 12 games then no more and yes we can play more games without recieving points but the points system is still like rivals/champs are for you, point...advance in ranks to get better rewards.
Someone mentioned that you can get over 22k but im garbage at the game and am to old to "get good" and just play career mode as i want icons, promos and such like any other EAFC player.

My point is that you gotta look for other peoples POV and just saying "get of UT and play Career mode" is kinda childish and toxic nonetheless to say.

I wish and hope that they increase the games.

Cya in another year 😂

PS: The end of your recent message tells us alot of what kind of a human online (you wouldn't be like this irl) type of person you are.
Be nice or don't say anything at all.

@Izzy_FUT_Dubs A lot of us don't get good enough connection to EA servers for Div Rivals, which requires very high speeds to avoid input lag or freeze lag, and now the AI is waaaaaay overtuned in Squad Battles, so the experience is sweatier and much less enjoyable, and harder to compete to earn decent rewards for players who have a hard time earning rewards elsewhere due to lack of connection speeds.

@Izzy_FUT_Dubs Players with better connection speeds can get better rewards by playing other modes, this was the only place people with worse connections could earn rewards and actually try to enjoy the game.

@Izzy_FUT_Dubs Well we should just stop making to improvements to something because YOU don't have problems with it?? Main character syndrome much? The world is a big place, and it doesn't revolve around you. And connection speeds are very often a result of EA servers/server placement, which isn't the fault of the player, but the company.

@Dao4Deuce You get better rewards this year though. You can still grind it past the 12 games.

It literally doesn’t make sense to get rewards more just because you can play 40 50 or 800 games a week.

Whoever earns more skill points should be rewarded more. If you play 40 games on beginner you shouldn’t get rewarded more than someone who plays 12 games on ultimate.

You should enjoy rivals now it’s based on wins and they doubled the game. If you are getting delay or lag it’s probably your connection not the servers.

RadioShaqs, sorry to say; you just cannot force everyone to enjoy rival/champion or other mode - same to EA. i also very disappointed with EA when reducing SB game with point to 12 only. plus everyone have their own enjoyment what they like to play in FC. if EA really meant what they mean, they just need to release the game to specific region only. for what i experienced with EA from when I start play games made by EA is they only want money and fame - that my opinion.
so for myself, i just play when i play the game coz complaining not worthy and i already give up complaining. also stop bring up how good EA is, very annoying thing and stop being racist here

RadioShaqs; yes, you are in my points of view and others who only playing SB. so don't make our mood go down anymore coz we just want to enjoy the game.
i don't know others but for me where having connection issue while playing online; i more to SB, career & manager mode. that why when the SB reduced to 12, I feel like my chance to get even better rewards is lost.. i am not elite or pro in this game, not a beginner either.
