📩 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.

- Good April Foll packs.

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:

If these problems are not fixed, and the game is not meaningfully improved, and player and community feedback continues to be ignored, FC Mobile risks losing player trust, which could ultimately lead to a rapid decline and long-term damage to the game.

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.

  • Well saidEvil_Larry26​. Couldn’t agree more.

    The talk in the league I manage echoes that of the larger community you describe. Folks are very dissatisfied with (a) the lack of certainty baked into the draft system, and (b) the far poorer rewards (as compared to the previous system). People are angry/frustrated, but increasingly they appear resigned to the idea that the game just might not be worth it anymore. And these aren’t casual players. These are folks who grind every single day who don’t see a future in which they can remain competitive. I mean, when you work out the math (which I’ve done) it’s an absolutely ludicrous amount of money you’d have to spend on FC Points in order to obtain the certainty of winning a top player in the position where your squad needs improvement. We’re talking >$50 for one card and it’s a crapshoot which one you’ll get! How many of us have the kind of money to spend, and spend, and spend some more in order to land 4, 5, or 6 top cards when only one (or maybe two) actually improve our squads?

    If EA wants our $$$ then it needs to offer value, and simply minting more player cards and making them more and more rare/expensive is NOT the way to do it. IMPROVE gameplay (e.g., game mechanics) and ALL player cards become more valuable because the game is FUN to play. I, for one, would gladly pay a flat fee of $50-$100/yr if FCM performed consistently like a true football simulator. However, I won’t spend ANYTHING on a slot machine that offers increasingly poor odds (which is what the draft system offers compared to the shard system) when I can’t consistently enjoy USING the cards I win (and when new bugs crop up every week).

    I don’t know how this all ends, but I fear it will all end badly if EA continues to pursue the path it’s on — wherein it offers less and less, but demands more ($$$). TOTY has seriously damaged its relationship with the FCM community and the rumors are already spreading in my league that the next event is not going to bring back the shard system.  As I alluded to above, this is already causing some members (myself included) to begin contemplating a reluctant retirement. Within the next month, if EA opts to ignore the type of feedback Evil_Larry26​ (and many others) has provided, or is simply too slow to respond, we could very well see a death spiral of users quitting the game. Maybe EA has already decided that a “purge” of F2Pers is an acceptable loss if it allows them to extract more revenue from “whales,” but it’s hard to see how the game thrives without the passion (not to mention the sheer numbers) of “grinders.”
