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.

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.

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

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.#Fixfcmobiletoty

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

In FIFA, the idea of putting together a “dream team” was something that excited me. I could put players from different eras on the same team and watch the magic happen. That's what someone who loves soccer wants. With FC, that became more and more difficult.
TOTY has always been the most anticipated event, and look what they did: we have no control over the players we receive. And I know that most players like me never get a 117 card; we always end up with an average team.

Tokens UP and Gems only available at DR levels would only make sense if there were no hacks or handicaps. Otherwise, it's detrimental to the user.

EA killed FIFA. That's sad.

You said what you need. I have a collection of forwards, but I don't have any defenders or a good goalkeeper. What should I do? How can I get a good goalkeeper?

UTOTY costs whooping 4500 gems whereas TOTY ICONS cost 3000 gems. So that add to 2 UTOTY for every 3 TOTY. It is okay that it has POOL A as UTOTY, but when are any of us packing a pool a. I mean I am getting only 111s, 112s and 113s.
Why is Raphinha costing so much? A guy with bad luck will have to open 200 drafts, with no possible guarantee at 100% 115s. Improve the exchange requirements.

The TOTY event feels exciting overall, especially the player designs and boosts, but the rewards could be more balanced for free players. Curious to see how future updates improve it. By the way, while grinding events like this, I usually keep music playing in the background with spotify premium gratis — makes the long sessions way more enjoyable.

Where’s 30drafts pack? I saw in spoiler video. UTYDraft is very expensive, even you refresh x2.
Bring shard’s system back. #FixFCMobile
