🔎TOTY26: Major Issues and Required Improvements. (Part 1: Draft system)
Hello EA FC Mobile Team, Evil Larry is here, The Team of the Year (TOTY) event is, unfortunately, a very disappointing experience, and I would like to explain why. ⚠️This letter focuses only on the Draft System in both TOTY26 Draft and Kick-Off Draft. 1) All draft player cards are untradable. Solution: Make all draft players tradable, or introduce a mixed system with a high chance of obtaining a tradable player. 2) Spending 3,000 gems for one draft is too expensive considering that most 108+ players have weak traits, stats, work rates, and occasionally poor weak foot. Solution: One draft should cost 1,500–2,250 gems max, with improved stats (e.g., passing for ST), position-appropriate workrates (high attack for forwards and CAM, CM, LM, RM and also RB and LB, high defense for defenders and CDMs), more traits (5+), and better weak foot stars. 3) While 10 drafts for a guaranteed untradable Pool B card is acceptable, Pool A is terrible—spending 30,000 gems or 2,000 FC points for 100 drafts to get a 116–117 OVR card is unreasonable. Additionally, Pool A and B have very few 115+ cards, lack positional diversity, and offer fewer high-ranking players compared to other events. Solution: Include tradable players as suggested earlier, increase the total number of cards, reduce the number of drafts needed for a Pool A card, raise the number of high OVR cards (115+), and ensure better diversity of positions. 4) I think the refresh system for Pool A and Pool B drafts is poorly designed, especially when players obtain non-guaranteed Pool A or B cards. Solution: No draft refresh until a guaranteed card is obtained. 5) The probability of obtaining a high OVR card is extremely low (e.g., 0.33% for a Pool A card in TOTY26 Draft and 0.25% in Welcome Draft). Additionally, the number of guaranteed coins in the draft is very low. Solution: Slightly increase the probability of obtaining high OVR cards and provide a medium to high number of guaranteed coins. 6) Long-time players cannot receive Kick-Off free rewards or free drafts. Why is this the case? Solution: Old users must always be allowed to claim the new Kick-Off rewards for free. 7) There are no high OVR goalkeepers available in the draft. Solution: Include high OVR goalkeepers in the draft. 8) There are very few sources to obtain drafts in the game (Not enough ways to get drafts). Solution: Increase the number of draft sources, and make drafts easier to obtain (rewards, gifts, and daily rewards...). “Draft System – Evil Larry Rating: 5/10 (Poor performance, needs major improvements, not a F2P event actually). What do you think? Is anything missing? Give your rating for the new Draft System! This feedback focuses on the Draft System only. Part 2 with more insights is coming soon—stay tuned!

National Champ challenge
I paid 1500 tokens for the field pass for the National Championship but the challenges are not tracking. My team has 8 CFB players in the lineup. I am not progressing over the last few days and holds true today. I NEVER hear from EA support nor see their replies. I PAID for these tokens. I want a refund or made right! PLEASE respond tech support!
Petite Alsace collaboration - Open for participation!
Happy New Year and welcome to another Sims 3 community collaboration hosted by Hidehi2 , Sandraelle and soocoolsim ! Introducing Petite Alsace inspired by picturesque Strasbourg, Colmar and Ribeauville with a dual French and German blend of charming, flower-laden villages and half-timbered homes. We anticipate the completed world will be a lovely addition to your game. Experienced creators (Intermediate+) are invited to join us in creating builds to add to the base world. If you love decorating but building isn’t your forte, let us know and we'll try to build a shell for you. Everyone can experience Petite Alsace taking shape by downloading the base world and installing builds as they become available. Please keep an eye on the "News and Updates" post for milestones and links to new creations as they become available. Constructive comments throughout this event are also welcome, so don't be shy. Without further ado, onto the details below and come join in the fun! LOT LISTINGS Map A: Colmar (Medieval, half-timbered houses with flower-filled balconies) Map B: Ribeauville (Pastel, half-timbered 15th - 18th century houses) Map C: Ribeauville Outskirts (Farming area) Map D: Strasbourg (City area, mix of old and new buildings) Map E: Avenue du Rhin (Wine region) Map F: Route de Alsace (Rural area) CLAIMING OVERVIEW Download the empty Petite Alsace base world created by the talented Hidehi2. Take a look at the available lots using the Map posts as reference (see links above). Indicate you're on board and sign up for your first claim by replying on this thread with your chosen map lot reference # (eg A8). I will update the lists with claims and add download / media links when builds are completed. Every two weeks (around the 1st and 15th of the month) a new claiming period starting with a 'Claiming Day' post will begin. During this period, if you join the collaboration or have a build in progress on Claiming Day, you can claim 1 lot. For ongoing participants, if all previously claimed builds are completed and (no cc) download link(s) submitted by Claiming Day, you may claim up to 2 lots. BUILDING GUIDELINES Please stay within the theme of each map area and overall Alsace inspiration. You have creative freedom otherwise. Inspiration links at the top of this post may be helpful. All / any EA Expansion Packs, Stuff Packs and official Store Items can be used. Free EA Store Items are OK for use. Note: Some are no longer available for download so use at your discretion. NO third-party Custom Content is allowed. Please Custard Check your exported file before uploading to double check. We highly recommend play-testing your build before uploading to ensure no routing concerns and users can enjoy as intended. Do test placement of your final build. This helps identify any potential issues (e.g. windows / floor tiles out of place). To do this... export your build, save your game, delete the existing build, then replace with the exported version from your library. Take a careful look around and fix as needed. It will be useful for players if the Petite Alsace lot address is included in your build description on the Exchange, albeit optional. Do take the time to put your best foot forward to make your build(s) shine inside and out. Just be cautious about using a ton of clutter since that can add to lag when playing. Each build will be showcased with credit in video walkthroughs on YouTube once the world is completed. Once your build is available on the Sims 3 Exchange, please post a reply on this thread including: name of build / map reference and/or address / download link / cover picture / custard screenshot confirming no 3rd party custom content included. Optional! Link to additional picture site / thread. SIMS / HOUSEHOLDS This collaboration focuses on builds since the final world save file will be unpopulated, however we are happy to link to Sims / Households created for Petite Alsace. Petite Alsace builders can submit Sims / Households for their completed claims as well as Townie use. All / any EA Expansion Packs, Stuff Packs and official Store Items can be used. Free EA Store Items are OK for use. Note: Some are no longer available for download so use at your discretion. NO third-party Custom Content is allowed. Please Custard Check your exported file before uploading to double check. Once your Sim / Household is available on the Exchange, please post a reply on this thread including: name / map reference or address (or identify as Townie) / download link / 1 cover picture / custard screenshot confirming no 3rd party custom content included.

I prematurely bought the upgrade tokens for season 5 Tim Tebow and Charles Woodson, and it gave me the regular tokens which can’t be used to take our captains from 94 overall to 95 overall. EA put the wrong upgrade token in the store and I bought them too early(day of new season), making it so I’m stuck with two 94 overall players who can’t make the lineup.
Remaking Sims as AI
I have never forgotten any of my Sims but today I have been messing around with Chat GPT and HeyGen and trying something out. For many years I thought 'what if my Sims looked more real and could speak English?' This is a work in progress but if it works out ok I plan to do more. AI is a bit of a learning curve for me and I am quite busy a lot of the time but this could be a good way to keep in touch with my Sims from the past I need to get used to this forum as well and no idea how to share videos yet (are we still allowed to do that) so there is a youtube link at the bottom of this thread https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoQdhmQzfMM
