Impossible to get a 1500 shard player in after daybreak!!

Calm yourself mate with that guy, hes always ready to defend EAs gameplay everytime theres a complaint🤣

I am calm and I am not against him. Even I have seen him defending EA but he too has some good solutions at times. What I want to say is we want real maths a d statistics and EA to know that the bar they have set is really high. I was lucky enough to bag 111 Capdevila from the 3K gem pack but I needed 111 Ferdinand but couldn't get him and had to compromise with 110 Gvardiol with half the shards. Gvardiol is good with a high attack work rate as well but Ferdinand was obviously a better defender option for me. That's where I want things to be real and clear. This shard system isn't working especially after the 1st 2 weeks when you have already reached FIFA Champion, completed the star pass and event milestones. That leaves us F2P with nothing to aim at above 750-800 shards. That's a real big issue.

EA could have easily made both parts of the event use the same shards, or at least reset the Division Rivals season in week 4 so players could get 2–3 111 OVR players (or even 5+ with good pack luck). But they didn’t—because their only goal is to drain players’ wallets.

Gems are ridiculously hard to earn. Even if you’re FC Champion in all three Rivals modes and your league, you still need to grind dailies and other tasks just to scrape together enough for a single 3000-gem pack per day. By the end of the week, you’re left with nothing, so opening 2500-gem packs isn’t even an option. And the packs themselves are awful—most days it’s just 10 shards.

Rewards are just as pathetic. For example, the main chapter gives only a weekly 103–109 OVR player, not even a 111. You put in the effort, but get nothing in return — this makes no sense at all. EA doesn’t care about F2P players, only about money. Unless they suddenly grow a conscience or realize they’re not actually making more profit this way, expect the same endless P2W grind in future events.

My prediction came true in less than a day.
