It's all about the money. Stop finding excuses and hide behind difrent devices and network capabilities. And you just made the kid stupid because he is 12 and he doesn't understand the business environment? 😠 I think you and most important EA never heard of business ethics. Not everything has to be 100% profit. And ok I understand we need to pay for the game, but how much? Wouldn't be fair to have to pay to play and not pay to win. The game seems more like an auction where who ever pays more wins the game. How about having to pay a monthly fee to be able to play the game and let the skills decide the outcome of the match. Now not even having a good team guarantees you the win which I think it a real problem for the p2w players and that's why the update.
David, what he is trying to say is that EA is adopting a business model that you will see in the gambling industry. They are trying to control every aspect of the game in order to boost profit. If you ever heard of the theories in which casinos are controlling the environment, like the lights, the user interface of the games in order to make players spend more time and loose more money, well this is what EA is doing. They are not interested in a fair game. All their resources go into card design, gameplay manipulation and sponsorship to the YouTube creators.
I think the new update will bring some improvements to the game, unless they find a way to mess things up, which eventually they will do. I think their plan is to make cards attribute and overall really matter. So the expensive cards will be able to score, defend and dribble better.
Yeah, I think the comparison between FC Mobile and a casino is 100% apt. I keep wanting the matchplay to be better (because I still think about EA products as “if it’s in the game, it’s in the game” sports games). But the business model is that of a slot machine. Give the user just enough of a dopamine hit to keep them committing their time and money (and not a drop more). The actual matchplay becomes secondary because it’s not the primary source of the dopamine (collecting the cards does that). Instead, matchplay is secondary. Like the bright lights and music, the matchplay adorns the FC Mobile “slot machine” and needs to be only enticing enough (which is to say, it doesn’t actually have to be good!) to make the user/“mark” want to keep playing.
It’s sad really because I’m old enough to remember when EA products set an industry standard and were all about the passion for the sport. But this era of in-app “micro-transactions” has clearly corrupted that model. I can see this clear as day in the way the game is organized and in the way EA behaves toward all of us, but I find myself STILL wanting it to be otherwise—wanting EA to care about making FC Mobile matchplay better, for example. Maybe that makes me a fool. It certainly makes me a glutton for punishment!
bwhaahahah,
A textbook holier than thou keyboard warrior.
You clearly didn’t comprehend what I said. You regurgitated parts of my post out of context, stuffed your own nonsense in between, and then argued with the version you made up, complete with your own bandwagon narrative. Somehow, you even managed to contradict yourself in the process. That’s pretty impressive, heh.
The irony is, while you’re not wrong about the casino-style stuff and the ethics around it, you’re still not debating or offering anything close to a balanced or unbiased or factual perspective.
I stated facts and context, with a notion that a typical 12yo should understand basic ethics but might not fully get how the corporate world really works or what kind of business model this game runs on unless you’re Einstein at 12. My bad. I’ll remember you had it all figured out at age of 5 next time you’re just yelling at clouds like Abe Simpson with zero constructive feedback and your own made-up narrative.
By the way, if you hate EA and the game so much, why not just uninstall it and be done with it? Healthier for everyone. Food for thought.
Anyway...
