[Feedback] - Draft System Discussion

It's such a boring event. There's nothing to do but spend money only. There are no other activities to do besides divisions. No galleries, no packs, disappointed!!

EA is scamming us with 117card but after update content, They secretly lowed draft odd. For sure, because 3 guarantee I get only 116cards. A lot of money I pay for this game. Please don’t scam us with this.😡

Adjust the probability of getting a 117 card, or lower the draft price and reduce the guaranteed number of cards and Increase the player exchange token rate.

Please return the favor to players.🙏 #fixfcmobiletoty

I don’t like this even. It's such a boring event. There's nothing to do but spend money only. There’re no other activities to do besides divisions. No galleries, no packs, disappointed!

Hear, hear.

To be honest I really like the Draft System but it is just like a pack costing 3000 gems which is acceptable. Only if 26 phase 2 tokens really had any value with 108-112 ovr players contributing as well it would be good.

Since 26 phase 2 tokens are a replacement of shards they should have equivalent value as shards but they are now just useless. 

I hope there will be some change with values of item exchanges as the extremely decreased values have mostly contributed to players' rage

The very first thing: there is nothing to like; everything is disliked...! I'm not the only one. I've already decided to wait and see how this draft system works in FC Mobile. Unfortunately, if this is going to be the new F2P mechanic, it doesn't seem fair to me. It's a shame because I like the game, but I would never spend money on it. Draft is the biggest scam in FC Mobile history, sorry to say. 

1. Restore Store Packs.
2. Implement Fair Mechanism: - F2P player cant progress on luck-based draft system
3. Restore Division Rivals Rewards: Grinding is worthless without proper rewards.
4. Fix the League Store and bring back offer-D offers-C offers -B
5. Bring back the shard system.
Don't let them get away with this absurd update.

Another update, another post by our favourite bot. Here's my take:

What I like: EA actually reading our posts and replies and provide proper transparency for their action and response.

What I don't like: Lack of communication, lack of gameplay improvements, and cash cow events.

What I'd improve: EA's intelligence. (Even god can't save you atp)

Doubt EA will respond tho given how disconnected and disinterested they are. Maybe try buying a spine and a working brain with the money you try so hard to milk from players.

Система пазлов работала ,зачем убивать то что работает? Она была куда справедливее кто платил деньги получал больше игроков и быстрее , а в драфте все зависит от удачи  получается не футбол а казино где решает удача .

You hit the nail on the head! Shard system may not have been sexy, but it offered grinders a clear path to one or two meta players per event. In other words it provided a serious “carrot” to play everyday and to think we had at least a semblance of a chance (after toiling for a month!) of remaining relevant/competitive amid the P2Pers. This new system destroys that carrot and replaces it with a not too thinly veiled stick — spend or have ZERO certainty of obtaining meta players that can help out your squad. 

My league is almost entirely composed of F2Pers, and folks are really upset and dejected about this event and what it portends for the future of the game. And what flummoxes us most is how EA goes through this performative “listening” routine in here but then blindsides us with a change we weren’t asking for. It really highlights the need for a two-way conversation where someone from EA replies periodically to summarize what they are hearing and what they intend to do about community concerns and points of pain. Enough of this “give us your feedback” where it feels like we’re shouting into a void. If the concern for customer satisfaction is truly earnest then the communication needs to be significantly more robust and it needs to be two-way.

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it! There was nothing wrong with the shard system. Bring it back. Full stop.

I still have yet to hear EA offer a compelling explanation for why they instituted this change. What problem were you trying to fix, EA? Seriously, can we have an answer to that question? 

With the shard system most F2Pers (which is to say most users) had a reasonable certainty of grinding our way to obtaining at least one (sometimes two) meta cards per event. This new system introduces far more uncertainty and seems clearly engineered to compel more spending (in order to obtain the certainty of landing a top player). If someone can show me the math to demonstrate this conclusion is incorrect then please put it out there.

The fundamental problem with FCM is that EA is running it like a casino, and every time we see a change like this it means the odds just got worse for the “gamblers” and better for the “house.” So, to then ask us what we “like” and how we can “improve” it is like asking us to aid and abet the folks trying to pick our pockets!

If you want our money, EA, stop trying to manipulate us with “drafts” and “exchanges” that only serve to obfuscate the ever-poorer odds in this casino and IMPROVE GAMEPLAY! That’s how you create value for customers and EARN our $$$.

Player System/Choice: I think it was a good attempt at introducing draft system but I agree that it can't be the main one a player has to work for.  If I work hard and be lucky in a shard system atleast I can assure myself of 2 max ovr cards of my choice. Irrespective of your efforts it's a luck based affair in draft.

It was poorly communicated as well.. there could have been an event with both systems before replacing.

Packs:  people r hurt including me at not having the variety of packs as for years people planned according to that system. 

Player ovr: league tokens and star passes both used to give a maxovr-1 card but this time it's maxovr-2

26 phase 2 token is a great idea as they don't expire but the exchange is too low. I don't see many takers for that.
