Is Ultimate Team designed more as a monetization system than a football game?
I want to discuss the structure behind Ultimate Team rather than simply complain about gameplay. When you analyze the system logically, several layers appear that explain how the mode works. First, the economic structure. Ultimate Team is built around pack sales. Packs contain random rewards, and the best cards have extremely low probabilities. At the same time, the competitive environment pushes players to obtain stronger cards. Because of this, improving a team often becomes connected to opening packs or spending coins. Second, the power progression. Every few weeks the game releases new promos, special cards and upgrades. These cards are usually stronger than previous ones. Because of this power creep, cards that were strong a month ago quickly become outdated. Players therefore feel constant pressure to upgrade their squads. Third, the psychological design. The pack system uses random rewards, strong visual animations and limited-time events. This creates a reinforcement loop where players feel excitement when opening packs and urgency during promos. Time-limited content also creates fear of missing out. Fourth, the gameplay layer. Gameplay often rewards specific attributes such as pace or certain playstyles. Because of this, certain cards become part of the “meta”. These cards are usually the rarest or most expensive ones. When these layers are combined, Ultimate Team becomes more than just a football mode. It becomes a loop where players constantly chase better cards. So the real question is not simply whether the game is fair or unfair. The real question is whether the structure of the mode is designed primarily to encourage continuous engagement and spending. What do you think?
Up 4-0 and all of a sudden 4 goals scored by the opponent to win!
It can't be anything except scripted when going up by 4 goals only ensures the other team will score 4 goals in response. How can this happen every single game? How can I go up by 3 or 4 goals to zero. Only to have the team that could not do anything all of a sudden run my team in the last 20 minutes to score 5 goals in response. My passing goes to less than 50% and my defenders start creating a diagonal line allowing the striker to not be off sides every time they throw a through pass and they win the game. How does this happen in 4 games in a row? Then I win a game where the same exact thing happens in my favor. I get murdered in the first half down 4 goals. Now all of a sudden i can easily get by their defense and I go on to score 5 goals to win the game. Then the same thing happens again in their favor for a couple games. How is this not scripted? This can not happen in this great of a number and not be scripted. Sorry staff I can't not say this anymore. The game is scripting defenses to sabotage their own teams when you are winning by too much.
Help recovering my account
Hi guys, Recently my account got hacked into and used as a middle man to illegally transfer coins to other accounts - 3.7 million coins to be exact, which lead to my account being put on hold first, then banned. I reported the issue to EA via contact and by speaking to someone, which was about a week ago. Since then, I have had no contact, I get told to not talk via EA chat as it would apparently delay me even further, and to be honest I just wanted to speak to anyone that has been in this kind of situation before because frankly I’m scared I lose that account which I’ve spent plenty of money on. Just wondering if I’m overthinking or if it is genuine incompetence from the team that reviews this as the situation is as simple as it looks. Thanks for readingLost every game since the latest update.
This has happened in the last three updates. As soon as the game updates I lost 10 out of 12 games. I usually get close to half the games won or lost. But after updates like clockwork I lose 8 out of 10 games. Its obvious that since the update everyone got a lot better.
beta testers in march
To begin with, there will be no chance of selling fc27 while there will be huge titles released at the same period. We’re almost through March, and the game level is still in beta. There have been false promises and misleading advertising since day one. I left this game before the Team of the Year TOTY promo because it was disappointing, as expected. Every time I try to play a single game, the gameplay feels worse, even when it comes to issues that no one was initially upset about. Somehow, they find a way to ruin it. There’s a glitch that they couldn’t fix for a long time, which has disrupted the game balance. It seems the developers don’t understand the difference between challenging players and torturing them. All the mechanics are broken because the foundation of this game is flawed. I don't think the developers will be able to fix it in this time frame, and at this point, FC 26 feels dead. i doubt that the team responsible for this game will be up for the challange , and it’s likely that FC 27 will be dead on arrival. On release day, I will set a reminder to donate $100 to someone in need instead of purchasing your next title. Additionally, there will be major titles released around the same time, so there’s no chance of selling FC 27 .rate fc26
hello everyone , i just want to to know your rating for the game based on the following : menus, sbc , store : /10 realistic:/10 gameplay mechanics: /10 promos and content :/10 market :/10 connection:/10 enjoyment :/10 difficulty :/10 glitches /10 scripts :/10 anyother thing i forgot about you can add as well and do you still play it ? will you buy the next title ?Division 3 and still averaging 10+ goals a game!!!
I thought maybe as i reached higher divisions the game play would get better and defense would actually improve. Wrong! Still averaging well over 10+ goals a game. It is 9-2, 7-5, 4-8,8-7,6-3,2-9 and that is in order. Not one game in the last 6 games under 10+ goals between the two of us. Where are these scores normal in the world besides this stupid game.
