Don't blame me for what you said. I have a PhD, I don't need you to teach me how to interpret speeches, I've been doing it for years.
The game is a card collection game. It hasn't been about soccer for a long time, and we all know it. If people want to build a team with specific players because they like their skills or because they have an affinity for them, they can build a team based on those criteria. What can't happen is what EA is doing: sabotaging free cards, forcing people to spend money on the game. Stop being cynical. The complaints are always the same.
The Beckham event is a disaster. And it doesn't hurt to admit it. It's not a good event. And there's nothing wrong with someone wanting Beckham, who has great skills, on their team.
Spend less time defending EA and more time trying to understand the problems. No one tolerates EA and its long events anymore, where you never know what's going to happen. Previous versions were better because we could take our time putting together a team. Something that EA ignores today. 😉
