EA is trolling us

EA is making a mockery of us and our time.

At one point I reported a bug in Squad Battles while I was trying to complete some objectives: after you win the match, you get kicked out of Ultimate Team and the game counts as a 3–0 loss. I figured out on my own that it happens on lower difficulties and when you win by a big margin. Of course, nobody from EA was able to help me back then, and they didn’t compensate me in any way for the time I lost on those matches.

Anyway, I told myself it wasn’t worth stressing over it—that’s just how they treat their customers and there’s nothing I can do. About a month passed.

Today I check the objectives and see one called “Full Throttle.” It has two sub-objectives: basically, you need to score 20 goals with a player who has at least 90 PACE, and get 20 assists on at least Beginner difficulty, in the same match.

I go into the game, everything fine—I didn’t even think about that bug from a month ago. I finish the match 31–0… and it kicks me out of Ultimate Team.

Amazing! 😐
