Well done EA you really saved the game

So EA have well and truly done it this time and should be incredibly proud of themselves. They've managed to scam the entire community again in June when there's only a few months remaining on the game cycle. They have introduced the token store which on the surface we all thought would be great, earn rewards for the game modes you actually want to play and be rewarded for the time and grind you put into the game. In reality we've been forced in this first week to play rivals (which lets be honest isn't exactly chill game play) squad battles and live events to make our 1000 token quota. I'm aware also that there was just a few hundred more tokens available across game modes and objectives so you didn't have to play absolutely everything (I'm looking at you 100 tokens for rush game mode where it's impossible this week to gain points as players don't bother to select players to earn rush bonus points) I'm also aware you can trade cards in for tokens which isn't worth it in my opinion and I'll get to that. The entire premise of token acquisition being that we can trade these in for the rewards we actually want and stop the casino monopoly they force feed us to keep our teams competitive. They released two good things in the store and both those evolutions have been removed because EA figured from the community engagement on YouTube etc that most people only really cared for the main event Evo. Thus they remove it because they don't want people just cashing in on this for two weeks of play then getting bored of the token grind and sacking the game off to watch actual football at the world cup. Those evolutions will get released again in the last week of this token season (id be surprised if beforehand) just to be like look everyone you get to spend your hard earned time on the thing you could have had three weeks ago. On top of all of this, the biggest scam of all is that now all these game modes we're being forced to play no longer give us any fodder via packs or picks so it herds people to the store to buy packs so they can complete the odd SBC player (there's been some great SBC content for players in PTG tbf). So because we're not earning any fodder we can't then realistically empty our clubs for exchanges and I for one am not giving EA another penny via store pack purchases. A load of people may chime in on this and be like you're probably a rubbish player and you'd be right I'm distinctly average, I'm in div 4 for rivals and I get 8 wins in champs . My skill level isn't the issue and until we all vote with our feet and sack this game off then nothing will ever change. They promised they would listen and they lied. Bruiser is still broken. Rewards have been nerfed. Top players are smurfing tokens in division 4 and 5. We deserve a better football game than this. We realistically should all be given our money back for this entry. It's certainly the last one I'll ever buy. Whether you agree with my ranty post or not, I found it cathartic to write. Maybe one day our frustrated voices won't fall on deaf ears.
