Took me NINE tries to finally win the FIRST prize. Twice the algorithm stole a 7-0 lead from me in the final minutes. And in the match where I finally pulled out a 8-0 win I again very nearly had it taken by insanely virtuosic attacks (e.g., players taking on three defenders and coming away with the ball).
Couple more major pet peeves after playing this match soooo many times:
— Your team fatigues rapidly while the RB team is relentless and NEVER tires. That’s patently unfair.
— In addition to Neuer playing like Superman (which I already mentioned), you’ve got guys (like Leao and Iniesta) who are not known as defenders playing really stiff defense — this is NOT AT ALL realistic.
So, yeah, I’m not a fan. EA has stacked the deck in this event and made what could be a challenging but fun match into an obviously rigged torture test of just how much misery us grinders are willing to stomach. At a time when many of us are already frustrated to tears with EA’s disinterest in fixing broken game mechanics, when they have turned a deaf ear toward easily addressable complaints about the Ultimate Challenge difficulty v payout, this event just creates another point of pain to fuel F2P user anger. Well done, EA. Well done. 👏
