Why only 12 games for Squad Battles?
WHY? There has to be a $$$ making reason for EA. All I can think of is it gets more people to play online and EA gets a slice of PS online subscriptions? Otherwise it's BS. There are many people...

@Born2BWild007 You are correct, others do not seem to see the logic in what you're saying but I do.
Obviously if the number of games was increased again then less of the people who didn't play before this decrease wouldn't play now, then it would be easier to get the higher ranks for SB players and would result in an increase in rewards for those who favour the mode.
@ricm0nkey I think people see the logic. It’s just that’s an argument to keep it 12. Just because nobody wants to play 40 games you get better rewards.
That’s literally why people wouldn’t play it before and why more play it now.

So screw the casuals, the rich get richer.
I think EA's underlying idea is that this will force the casual SB player to the store, under the misguided idea that they need better players to get higher ranks.
If the majority of casuals are driven away from this game then EA would lose a lot of revenue.
Also by this reckoning they have completely screwed up Rivals by drastically increasing the amount of games required there.
- @ricm0nkey I mean if they wanted to screw casual they would make it 40 games because casuals don’t have time to play it. But last year you was forced into the store as people didn’t want to play 40 games.
No casual has time for 40 wl 40 squad battles 40 rush 40 friendlies and 40 rivals. That’s 200 games a week.
If anything they should make all modes 12 to help casuals. That’s still 60 games a week. They might even need to lower it to help casuals even more. Maybe 6 squad battle games a week.@RadioShaqs Our definition of a casual is different, hence the different viewpoints.
I understand most people would view a casual as someone who spends less time on a game, to me a casual (myself included) is someone who spends a lot of time on the game but does not want to be involved in the ultra sweaty and toxic game scape that is online FC against others.
That is why Squad battles only was my thing and i'm quite sure was for a lot of other people.
40 games a week was fine for those who only played SB's and avoided online play due to anxiety, health conditions and various other factors. This has now been taken away from those people.
Oh and the old argument of "go play career mode" is a very bad take, i bring this up as it was said to me in the past.
Guess we'll have to just agree to disagree.
Anyway I'm off to go look at the Rush team 2 players that I won't get in any of my packs, have a good day.
