📩 Urgent Community Feedback & Request for Improvements, VERY IMPORTANT ⚠️

Dear EA SPORTS FC Mobile Team,

You better read this all and undertand, don't skip this post, I’m writing to you on behalf of a large portion of the FC Mobile player base, including content creators, competitive grinders, and everyday players, to highlight major issues currently affecting the game and to request urgent improvements that would restore trust, fairness, and enjoyment in the community.

🗣️ 1. Community Backlash on TOTY (Team of the Year) Event

The recent TOTY campaign has sparked a viral backlash across social media platforms and forums. Due to several serious concerns:

• The new Draft system no longer guarantees TOTY items — unlike before, where 3,000 gems would always reward an event player. Now it’s random and unfriendly to most players.

• High-end TOTY cards are extremely difficult or nearly impossible to obtain without heavy luck or too much spending.

• The league and store reward structure is unbalanced (no diversity of rewards and not a high jumber of packs in store), with significant gaps and fewer meaningful rewards.

• There is widespread frustration with the lack of tradable packs, removed gem packs, and a dead in-game market — all of which were core parts of earlier, more balanced events.

This resolted in a strong social movement and using hashtags like "FixFCMobileTOTY".

⚠️ 2. Impact on Player Experience

Many long-term players — including free-to-play (F2P) and pay-to-win (P2W) — feel the latest update has degraded the game’s core value and fairness. The removal of classic systems like the shard method and the shift toward a near-pure luck focus has made progression feel less rewarding and more exploitative.

We believe this reduces the time and energy players invest in the game, and threatens the longevity of the FC Mobile community.

📌 3. Creator & Influencer Concerns

Content creators — some reaching millions of followers — are also publicly calling for changes and solidarity among the community. Many have voiced their disappointment with the current mechanics and have requested stronger communication from your team.

🙏 4. Our Requests (What the Community Wants)

To address these concerns and rebuild player confidence, we respectfully propose the following:

-Return a fair system of guaranteed event items (like the old shard or gem pack system).

-Re-introduce valuable gem & store packs to support market health.

-Improve the balance and rewards of the Draft system so that effort and dedication are genuinely rewarded.

-Enhance communication and update transparency — let players know when changes are coming and why they’re happening.

-Consider re-evaluating league and token rewards so progression feels meaningful again.

🧠 Thoughts

We love FC Mobile and want to continue supporting and celebrating it. The core issue is not the passion of the players — it’s about preserving the integrity of the game’s economy and reward systems, and making every player feel respected and heard.

Thank you for taking the time to read this feedback. We hope you will consider these points and work with the community to bring FC Mobile back to the experience we all love.

Listen to community please, and try to make all improvements and solve all types of problems in the game as possible.

Below is a clear summary of the main problems and suggestions collected directly from FC Mobile players worldwide:

1️⃣ Leagues

- League rewards and tokens are very weak compared to the effort required.

- Activity points are too low, making leagues feel unrewarding and inactive.

- League participation no longer feels meaningful or motivating.

2️⃣ Exchanges

- Exchange rewards are unfair and unbalanced.

- Exchanging a 113-115 player card for a 5 phase token is unfair.

- Exchanges do not respect the time and grind players invest.

3️⃣ Extra-Time Section

- Very limited number of packs.

- Lack of meaningful free rewards.

- Extra-Time feels empty and underdeveloped.

4️⃣ Redeem Codes

- Too few redeem codes overall.

- Community expects more frequent and valuable codes, especially during big events like TOTY.

5️⃣ Star Pass

- Rewards quality is poor compared to previous seasons.

- Star Pass duration is too short.

- Progression feels rushed and not worth the effort.

6️⃣ Quests & Tasks

- Not enough daily or event quests.

- Kick-Off tasks are missing, which removes an important gameplay loop.

- Rewards are extremely low (for example: only 6 TOTY tokens in daily tasks).

- Quests do not feel exciting or rewarding.

7️⃣ Store

- Very limited gem packs.

- Lack of free packs.

- No diversity in pack options.

-Very few “A Nation’s Story” Japan tokens packs available.

-No option to exchange previous event tokens into current event tokens.

- Not Good April Fool packs.

- No sources of gems and coins.

8️⃣ Web Store

- Very few free packs.

- Overall lack of packs and offers compared to expectations.

- Web Store feels underutilized.

9️⃣ Daily Login Rewards

- Rewards are not helpful or impactful.

-Daily login should feel exciting, but currently feels useless some people say that the game better remove daily login rewards, because of useless rewards.

🔟 Draft System

-Very limited number of player cards available most importantly is Pool A players and unfair number of drafts to get a garenteed Poll A player.

- Extremely low chances of getting good players.

- Overall system feels unrewarding and based on bad luck.

- No free Kick-Off drafts for old players.

1️⃣1️⃣ Challenge Mode

- No diversity in challenges.

- Same repetitive content with no innovation or creativity.

1️⃣2️⃣ Events System

- TOTY26 event is widely considered one of the worst events ever released.

- UEFA Primetime event also lacks depth and good rewards.

- Event structure feels empty, repetitive, and unrewarding.

1️⃣3️⃣ Gameplay

- Gameplay feels unfair and inconsistent.

- No noticeable gameplay improvements.

- Missing immersion features such as:

More realistic crowds.

New and better celebrations.

New gameplay mechanics and features.

Overall gameplay feels outdated, and more...

- All gameplay improvements suggestions is in my most liked post.

🧠 Finally:

For EA SPORTS FC MOBILE users, is there something missing. or something you do not agree with? What do you think about it?

Sincerely,

- Evil Larry/Community Representative.

b7r4owv30dzg - it's not being fixated on the cost, it's stating a fact of the game reality that came with TOTY event. It hides behind a facelift of a simple mechanism of converting the gems into RNG-controlled Phase2Token, then to the card of choice (full with 116 and 117, or partial for the OVRs below. The cost of a guaranteed player of choice has been increased to a ridiculous level. As it stands, it's 5.4m gems with bad luck, period - unless you luck out with the 117 card, as some have, you are sent down the "buy more FP path".
The point is, whether you like it or not, the cost of getting the desirable card is the crux of the problems listed, and I am just pointing that out whilst everyone is fixated on drafts being the evil (it doesn't matter what it's called), the cost of obtaining the card of your choice is what people should be looking at.

Some others tried to point out the lack of certainty and choices. Those are still there to a certain extent, you just need to pay a lot more for them, and now it means hard cash, or you can play the slots, which goes back to the "cost or the desirable reward".
To make it fair, the game needs have much better cost-to-reward ratio and the reintroduction of grindable resources, outside of a few extra gems, if you can reach 40 stars. Shards/drafts/vouchers/tokens/thingies, it does not matter, the parameters of cost-to-reward ratio/matrix need serious overhauling. The pittance of 5 tokens (or nothing for 112 and below) is just poor form, driving outrageous costs.

IMO, EA have shown us the way the game is going. More and more stuff behind a pay wall, less and less rewards for actually playing the game. No gameplay updates that the whole community has been crying out for. More and more bugs and taking longer to fix them. Running it on an absolute shoestring to maximise the amount of capital earned from it and to hell with the end user.
I remember the whole "we're listening" propaganda for FC26, gone very quiet on that front in the past 3-4 months and that's one of EA's flagship titles, the players of that game are unsatisfied with the drop rates in packs, SBC costs and gameplay over there. So what hope is there for FC Mobile which will be much further down the list of priorities? Slim to none. And Slim just left town.
EA can't even be bothered to explain how the Champions League event is supposed to work. And that's been out for ages!

Hey guys!!
So what's to become of this game? I can't find any hope. The whole system sucks. It's like I am on a gambling platform. No grinding, just depending wholly on luck . Nothing to look forward to as best player cards aren't even possible for f2p 😭😭

Yeah, it’s bad. People posting disgusted farewells everyday now. And no reason for hope of change coming from EA. I’m a hair’s breadth away from quitting myself. Can’t describe how disheartened I am by the direction of the game at the moment. And I’m so infuriated by the contempt EA is showing toward the sport and all the users who love it. This has all the hallmarks of an abusive relationship — we keep hoping EA will “change” and they just treat us worse and worse. It’s all well and good that we have a thread like this, but it means nothing until/unless we see EA make material improvements to the game. The clock is ticking and the ship is taking on water (and I, for one, have no intention of going down with it).

Just about sums it up. I’m so used to going to click on the app and now I hesitate and come to the forums or x looking for solace and any indication EA are hearing what is said and are taking action to make the system (whatever system) for earning new players fairer and meaningful (i.e. having a player of choice and working towards it.
Unfortunately all I see is EA ramping up and throwing everything at the new system. Maldini, Gullit, Messi, Ronaldo,….. the players we would all want, trying to entice players to get those players. But the only way you can achieve that is to spend an obscene amount of money. Maybe some will buy into that but I suspect it will be the sole province of those with very deep pockets and only EA know how many if those there are. For the rest of us the chances of getting any of the best players are minimal.
And the UCL event…….. sorry EA but you are treating the community with utter contempt. There’s no explanation. You have players costs set at nearly 3 times the number of tokens you can earn and then compound it by putting the prices up, then don’t give rewards but worst of all (and apart from a short ‘we’re looking into it) complete radio silence. Complete disrespect for their customers.

then there is pack luck in the Portugal section. Again, no hope of a top-rated player.

so today there is news of all the new events to come, the great new players we won’t be earn……another month of no players to take our teams forwards.

thing is, yes the game can be brilliant and fun and thatr’s great, repeating tasks to progress is fine. Repeating tasks for useless cards….. pointless.
i’m wavering too. if your commercial imperative is such that you have to make more money to survive then say as much
But still make it fair to progress. If you were just pushing the envelope to see how far you can take it then, unless the whales are spending enough to make it worthwhile for you then make changes now, or you will lose your player base.
