WHY ONLY BOX İCONS HAVE PLAYSTİLL?

Subject: Deep Disappointment Regarding TOTS Icons Meta Balance and Rewards System

Dear EA Sports Team,

I am writing to express my deep frustration and disappointment regarding the current state of TOTS Icon cards following the recent UTOTS update in FC Mobile. As a dedicated player who has invested an immense amount of time, effort, and resources—completing exactly 70 Icon Drafts to reach the highest reward pool—I feel that the current game balance unfairly penalizes players who grind for legendary rewards.

With the introduction of the UTOTS update, regular UTOTS cards (such as Lionel Messi and others) received massive upgrades, including highly impactful "PlayStyle" features and advanced skill point systems. These mechanics have completely shifted the meta, making these players incredibly dominant on the pitch.

However, the high-OVR TOTS Icon cards (such as George Best and other football legends)—which require significantly more grind, strategy, and investment to obtain—either completely lack these crucial PlayStyle traits or have them deactivated.

The Core Problem: This creates a severe paradox where "Icon" cards, which are supposed to represent the pinnacle of football history and the ultimate rewards in the game, are rendered obsolete and ineffective against standard UTOTS cards.

This flaw in the current meta balance leads to several unfair outcomes:

Devalued Hard Work: The effort required to complete 70 drafts feels entirely wasted when the rewards cannot compete in the current meta.

Broken Progression: It actively discourages players from engaging with high-tier event grinds if the rewards are instantly outclassed by regular promo cards.

Loss of Immortality: Icons should remain special and competitive throughout the season, not pushed to the sidelines due to missing core mechanics.

My Request:

I kindly urge the development team to review this balance issue in the upcoming update. Please assign the appropriate PlayStyle features, traits, and advanced skill point advantages to TOTS Icons and standard Icons that they rightfully deserve. Football legends should feel legendary on the pitch.

I requested that this justified feedback be forwarded directly to the game design and live-operations development teams. Thank you for your time and for listening to the community.

Best regards,

    Playstyles has been launched with UTOTS, so obviously, this would be limited to UTOTS. Box players likely have been added, as it's not cheap to get them.
    My suggestion is to actually wait until the World Game event lands in full so you can see who will get what moving forward. Plenty of feedback has been forwarded.

    And again supporting Icon/Hero cards from the Boxes getting play styles and regular Icon/Hero cards released during the same TOTS/UTOTS event should not. And the reasoning is Box players are not cheap to get. We'll neither are the non Box Icons/Heroes. They cost vouchers/fc points/gems. And to get a 57K shard Icon/Hero player takes a lot of time (which is valuable to everyone) and assets. So to say a user who pays for a Box Icon/Hero should have their card awarded play styles and a user who acquired a Icon/Hero card  (released in the TOTS/UTOTS event) through effort, time and some monitary funds should not receive the same play styles is baseless and meritless.
