Absolutely nonsense

If you keep making the most popular players unattainable, users will eventually just leave. People don't play this game because they love the gameplay; they are here for the players. Users should be able to build squads of their favorite players or create club-themed teams, but right now, that is impossible. I’m playing and I can't even build a decent Manchester United squad. Best is locked behind a box (there isn't even a cheaper alternative with, say, just a silver Trickster and no Finesse). Cantona is 122, Van der Sar is p2w, Ferdinand is p2w. All the cool players are pay-to-win. If you think about it, it's just wild. You are actively shooting yourselves in the foot. Just make the gameplay fun with cool players, and people will play it naturally. As it is now, people see ads featuring Jude Bellingham, they log in, and they realize all of his cards are incredibly hard to get—122, 121, and 120 OVR. There is a 119 OVR version, but it has a completely useless playstyle. This is literally false advertising, lol.

  • Agree 100%. It’s nothing but perpetual “own goals” from EA.  They’ve managed to pair insatiable greed with breath-taking incompetence and make a game based on the most popular sport in the world highly unattractive. Quite a feat.

    ' I can't even build a decent Manchester United squad'.

    This might be the proof we've been looking for that the game is absolutely bang-on realistic to real life ;)
