[Feedback thread] TOTY event discussion—share your thoughts.

Not very rewarding to play. No clear objective or progression. What am I meant to do with the under 113 OVR players? Are gems literally the only way to have a chance of getting a player that I may not even want/need? 

Can't craft my team the way I want it, removed so much out of the game. League exchanges, no player packs. 

It's like a whole different game to what we've had before. 

It's the final nail in the coffin for me I'm afraid, I won't be playing the game any further.

The lack of gameplay improvements, the constant bugs etc and now this is enough. We can all see it's moving towards an untradeable system where you get what you get and that's it. 

Come on fix the game. It was such a hyped event at previous times . Now you guys have made it absolute garbage. F2p players are now looking dumb.

Bring back store packs. Make some clear objectives . Make 113 cards useful for something. If possible shards system.

Exchanges are total waste, 900 tokens . How are we even going to get 300 for one player only 5 tokens is very bad . 

But the new theme front screen is great credit to that.

Fix the daily picks and something for the F2p users to . The is game is now pay to play.

Make the changes or play the game yourself.

The worst event ever — no payment, no progress in the game.

Начал играть с прошлого ТОТИ и тоти 26 худшее событие что я видел за все время игры в фк мобайл ,событие без доната не играется ,система обмена ужасна в сравнении с пазлами ,случайные игроки которых не поставить в состав как например выпадет цап и что с ним делать если в твой схеме нет позиции цап,за пазлы ты сам решал кого брать ,а тут решает либо донат либо удача .Событие исключительно для тех кто вкладывает деньги в игру,  тем кто играет как я с абанементом приходится либо надеяться на удачу что выпадет нужный игрок либо отставать от донатеров в овр.В общем желания играть стало куда меньше после выхода тоти 26.Надеюсь разработчики прислушаются к мнению большинства игроков ( а их именно большинство это легко можно увидеть в соц сетях по теме фк мобайл) и вернут либо систему пазлов либо подобную систему для обмена .

I don't mind the format, some areas still need some tweaks like the token exchange.

Very disappointed.

How many drafts tokens will we likely need to get 20 unique Toty players to complete the attack chapter?

It has to be asked:  What problem was EA trying to fix by ditching the shard system??? I know of NO ONE who was asking for this change, and literally everyone in my league (and in the forums) is mad or, at best, annoyed with the sudden change — especially on such a highly anticipated event as TOTY.

It seems readily apparent that this new system is designed to try and coerce users into spending $$$ in order to obtain meta players. Whereas F2Pers could “grind” for a month under the previous shard system and have some degree of confidence that they could eventually win a top player (and not just a random one, but one that met a need in their squad), we are now confronted with a system that seems explicitly designed to confound “grinders” and compel spending in order to remain competitive. Perhaps this redesign meets a financial imperative for EA, but it doesn’t appear to meet any need/desire of the community and that’s why people are so rightfully pissed off.

EA has posted messages like this one before (e.g., after the start of the new season) where they request feedback, and users provide copious suggestions. But EA then provides ZERO acknowledgement or reply, much less any substantive improvements to the game. For example, we’ve repeatedly asked for improvements to game mechanics and matchmaking and we’ve received silence and inaction in response. So, when EA then comes out with this major overhaul of an event system that the vast majority of users were accustomed to and actually liked it’s not just jarring, it’s REALLY frustrating! We’ve told you exactly what you need to do to improve the game and create customer value and you’ve not only ignored us, but you’ve turned around and created a system that reduces value for F2Pers (which is to say the majority of users)! Honestly, did EA not imagine we’d feel insulted and disrespected by this move? Did you think we are so dumb that we would fail to see that this TOTY event gives F2Pers poorer rewards and, thereby, tries to coerce us into spending to remain competitive. The signature cards were the first sign we got that EA was quietly creating an FCM caste system of P2Pers on tops and F2Pers on the bottom, and this TOTY overhaul is the final confirmation. EA’s message couldn’t be clearer:  “Pay up or become a permanent second-class citizen of this gaming community.”

I’ve been posting in here for most of the last year and I’ve consistently said the same thing:  I’ve spent loads of money in years past on EA console titles because they delivered a really high-quality gaming experience. If EA wants my money for FCM then they need to provide similar value and that value doesn’t arise from pumping out an endless stream of player cards alone. I have to be able to use the players I win in matches that are consistently fair and fun. Currently, FCM matchplay is neither consistent nor particularly fun (because it is so infuriatingly inconsistent!). Users have told EA what needs to be fixed, and EA has instead chosen to “fix” a shard system that wasn’t “broken.” Go figure!

At this point the request for feedback seems highly performative coming from EA because they don’t seem to ever actually listen to and act on what the community is saying. Personally, I spend a lot of my time in here furious at how futile it seems to compose a thoughtful, substantive post. Everytime I write one there is a voice asking “Why are you even bothering? EA doesn’t actually care.” Well, I guess I love football enough that I keep hoping I’m wrong. I keep hoping against hope that the company that once claimed “if it’s in the game, it’s in the game” will rediscover its pride and actually do right by the sport we love. EA has given me no reason to harbor this irrational hope, just as they’ve given me no reason to spend my hard-earned $$$ on this game (turned glorified casino), but I keep daring them to prove me wrong.

No matter what players you bring and what system you implement in order to collect those players, as long as you don't improve the gameplay and don't make the matches fair, where the result is decided by the tactics used, the cards and actual skills it  equals with zero.

Improve the passing system

Take out AI from controlling the players

Assign player style to the cards, make them different. In a football match not only speed is important. 

At least make them act accordingly to their position and Def/att attributes.

Not to say that will be nice that if a DM has cm as a second position to be a little more offensive than one that doesn't, if a cm also plays as a RM to drift on the right side, if a st is also a cam to come deeper. This way using certain player on certain positions will affect the formation, creating a custom tactic.

One of the best striker (Haaland) is a joke in the game.

If Roy Keane is a DM with high defending and low attacking why does he gets into the box?

Make stats matter. Why did you add the compare tool into the game? To compare what? 

This are the changes/improvements we want. You gave us two Van dijk cards, one in the Christmas event and one in the Nation story. We will probably get another one in Toty. Are there no other defenders? Not to mention Nesta and Stam.

Thanks everyone for sharing your feedback on the TOTY event. We’re reading through your posts, and it’s being collected and reviewed so we can share it with the game teams.

If you have more to add, please keep it coming — we really appreciate you taking the time to post.

Please do something with the untradables. also there is now no tradable player items at all
