Am i the only one?

Am i the only one who thinks that the icon swaps (although nice in theory) are a complete drag? I'm sitting here "playing", being bored out of my mind because there is nothing to play for other than score a specific type of goal. Stuff like this just completely misses the point of a GAME. No fun, feels like genuine work. I get that i can just not do them, but the rewards are very nice. There has to be a different, more fun way of inserting objectives than to make your community feel like they have to put a work shift in.

    Icon swaps has always been like this. It's a drag but the rewards are amazing. I agree, there could be a better way to complete objectives, but I think part of it is that it should be hard to do given how good the rewards are. I'm not sure what else they could set out for us. At least these objectives are achievable, just a grind. Some years you had to get a certain amount of wins in a single weekend league to get a swap token, those were the worst.

  • I'm the same I done the prem team one cos I already had the squad. But I don't think I'm going to bother with the others.

    That's the thing though. It's not hard, just annoying, time consuming and not well thought out. They could at least have made it in a way, that you have to try and win. At least that way there would be an incentive to play the game properly. I'd much rather grind a normal tournament until i win it all then to just play pointless game after pointless game.  Also by having people try scoring chip shots and crosses for example, you make it completely silly, since neither of them are actual ways to score in this game on a semi-regular basis. I get the argument about it being achievable but this can't be the way to do it. I know it always has been this way, but that's also why i never really bothered too much with it. This year, with R9 as a price, i want to complete it but yeah. I don't get what they get out of it when they're creating these game modes and tweaks that nobody actually enjoys but everybody just does for the end price, since nobody needs to spend actual money for it. That's also a thing. If it were at least doable through just playing the game a lot, that would be one thing, but no you have to make 6 different very specific squads and then play a live event just for that.
