Capped Legend Ch III “Last Crap” is a JOKE
When is EA going to cut it out with these ridiculously difficult matches that are little more than rigged rage bait? I have a 121 OVR squad and I’ve now attempted this match FIVE times and lost it every time! I’ve taken a lead in three of these matches (and drawn level in the other two), and EVERY time it seems the AI throttles down the speed and intelligence of my players (meaning the 10 guys I’m unable to control at any given moment) and scores on me at will. We’ve seen EA introduce some pretty ridiculous “world class” level matches in the recent past, but this one takes the cake. And for the reward to be a mere 1,000 gems is simply ludicrous!
The bottom line for me is this: A match where it feels like the difficulty arises solely from the speed, skill and aggression of the opponent is one thing (and the Last Cap match DEFINITELY features this!), but it’s quite another when it feels like my team’s attributes and performance are also being manipulated (which is definitely how this match plays — my players are more sluggish than normal and their movement is less intelligent across the board, especially in defense). That’s when the match begins to feel “rigged” and loses all fun. And when you throw in a pitiful reward (1k gems???) that is totally incommensurable with the level of challenge then the whole thing feels like an insult. That’s why I’m calling this match the “Last Crap” because it’s the Devs dumping on users. As if it wasn’t enough for EA to spend the last two months putting every decent card behind a massive paywall, they had to add to our misery by making it next to impossible to win a lousy 1k gems (which buys me precisely 1/3 of a lousy draft voucher!). Is there anything about this experience that users are supposed to actually be enjoying? This isn’t a rhetorical question: What aspect of the game do the Devs seriously think is fun for the average user right now when they’ve done nothing to fix the points of pain we’ve identified and then have the nerve to hand us the “Last Crap?”
