I've been playing this game since the first ultimate team. Just like yourself. Honestly, I feel exactly the same as you. You've literally summed up everything that I feel about this game and how it's been going this year compared to others and the frustration that continues. Hopefully there's a game out there where we can get our fut fix that's currently in development, or on the horizon in the near future. When EA lost its rights to the FIFA name, I knew this game was going to do nothing but go downhill. Boy has it ever! **bleep**, Simon and the joy I used to get when there would be new things in packs or a new promo has gone from 100% like Christmas morning to not caring at all. I'll add one more comment to this and that's for a game that bans celebrations and preaches fair play by not tolerating toxic players, it's a lie. Everything is ultra competitive and the ultimate team mode. Winning and losing doesn't even affect me and in a positive or negative manner when there's literally no skill to win this game. Like it's always been said, if EA wants you to win you win. The AI has leveled the skill gap that even someone who's never played before has a shot at being someone who plays every weekend which makes this game a total piece of **bleep**. Just like the gentleman above, this might be my last comment on this game and probably the last time I've ever play it. From what I understand, next year's game doesn't sound any different than this year's just like it's been for year after year. I've beta tested 5 years in a row and every time I see potential in the game so I purchase it. Then then EA doesn't fix anything that it should and literally breaks the game right as soon as the first update comes out and continues to make it worse as the year goes on. I swear it's almost like they did this **bleep** on purpose and I don't understand why. EA had a game that is dominated the footy world year after year and continue to become more profitable at the same time. Instead of focusing on gameplay and **bleep** loot boxes and making money off of packs, they've lost touch with what they had at the beginning. A football game that not only took skill to play, was competitive, what was exciting enough that made you want to log on all the time. Ea you became greedy, So profits are up from the year before, good for you. Your numbers of players and people on the game are down and are continuing to dwindle. Other companies are going to give their shot at making games now, unfortunately, which means your days are slowly running out. Sure. FC may not ever die, but it'll never be the game that held a monopoly on this sport and gaming. That's super sad. Goodbye, FIFA Ultimate Team, from 19 back you were the Ultimate game that became FC the ultimate **bleep**. To think how much money I've spent since 2006 to now, I'm even more ashamed how much I've spent since 2019. So maybe I was part of the problem and the decline of this game if I continually giving EA money that it did not deserve. I'm sad and ashamed of that like a lot of you should be.😞😣😥😢
