Is anyone seriously going to pre order eafc27

It's a simple question , after this latest farcical attempt at creating a football game that was sold on the premise of being the people's game and being listened to, which was a flat out lie abandoned after a week when the pre order sales were in, they are now peddling the new edition is anyone going to fall for it?

I usually cave in and just buy the latest edition but not this time noway, the lies , the utter contempt with which the treat their customers, the constant greed of desperately trying to provide just the bare minimum, the glitches, the truly astonishingly bad servers, the delay, the terrible pack weight, the same players in every single promo through the year, the same players picked over and over again year in year out for SBCs and objectives, I was surprised it took so long for the yearly anderson tallisca SBC to arrive but like clockwork it's here now, this truly is an astonishingly bad game that by rights should be free to play, the amount of micro transactions is absurd , the amount of packs in the store is absurd.

I'm quite interested to know if people are actually going to listen to eas same speal again and fall for it.

    I’m probably coming at this from a different angle because I don’t play Ultimate Team. I have bought every EA football game since FIFA International Soccer in 1993 and spend my time in Career Mode and local co-op with my husband.

    FC 26 is the first game that made us stop playing altogether. It wasn’t because we wanted an easier game - it was because the core offline gameplay stopped feeling fair. Professional became too easy, but World Class often felt as though the AI had advantages rather than simply playing better football. Lower-league teams could suddenly play like prime Barcelona, tactics didn’t always seem to translate onto the pitch, and there were immersion-breaking Career Mode bugs.

    So, long story short: this will be the first EA football game since 1993 that I won’t pre-order. I’ll let others buy it, review it and decide whether the offline gameplay has actually enjoyable before I consider it.
