Newcommer's feedback part 2
Hi EA_Vendcera EA_Darko I am adding additional feedback to my original feedback, that you can find here: Newcomer’s feedback: Why I paid for Premium Pass, and why I won’t pay anymore. | EA Forums - 13370663 Positive feedback: Evolutions. I wish I discovered them sooner. Really fun gimmick, that made the game interesting again. Pack luck: Last time I was ranting that pack luck was inexistent. Since then, I packed untradable TOTS Endrick and Tabitha Chawinga, so my initial statement needs correction. It is satisfying that my long hours of grinding have finally been rewarded. I understand you are using a RNG and that each opened pack/pick is an independent random event, but it would really helpful if you managed to provide, every now and then, a high-value card to every user that consistently plays the game. It doesn't matter if the cards are untradable. That shot of dopamine you get when seeing a high-value card, motivates you to keep playing and grind for rewards. Negative feedback: On the negative side, I want to bring to you attention the fact that some users abuse the cosmetics of their pitch and home ball, and make the games, when we play away, visually hard to perceive. Green lines on a green pitch and a black ball, so their opponents play with a visual handicap, this is something that needs to be addressed. Either you test and remove any cosmetics that hinder the game performance, or you let us chose the stadium and ball theme, even when we play away, in the same way we do with our equipment. Please take this feedback into consideration. Conclusion: All in all, I see the game in a more positive note than I did last time, when I was extremely critical. If things continue to go in this positive note, then, despite the flaws the game has, I consider it's still worth investing time and money in Ultimate Team.13Views0likes1CommentNot getting wins when the opponent quits
Please can something be done about players quitting the game when they're losing and the opponent does not get the win. I play online Seasons and almost every game the opponent quits when I am in a winning position. They either wait till 80+ minutes to quit or if they're losing by a big scoreline, they will quit the game immediately and I will not get the win nor will there be a record to show I played that opponent. Sometimes they will cheat by pausing the game, do something to quit and a message will show "you have lost connection to your opponent..." Sometimes the disconnection will be immediately after you score (almost instantly) and you will not get the win and there will be no record of that game. And finally, they also cheat by stop playing after you score. The game will restart from the centre circle and the opponent will not move at all, then after approximately a minute you will lose connection to your opponent and not get the win etc. The level of frustration this causes when people are doing it almost every game is immense and I will not play online Seasons anymore until this issue is fixed. I hope EA will do something about it.6.5KViews34likes52CommentsGot rewards for lvl up but sp showed I was the same lvl
Hey all, So on the day of the latest season in ultimate team I bought the premium pass I play the game frequently and got to level 3 at level 3 you receive 3,000 SP The strange thing that happened was that I received the rewards the 3,000 SP would’ve gotten me as it would take me to level 6 but it still showed me at level 3 in the season ladder I thought this was just some visual bug that would fix itself once I’ve restarted the game but after some time I realized SP I’ve earned from completing objectives were going towards leveling up from level 3 I play this game a lot so I now have 5,660 SP soon to reach level 6 but since the game didn’t give me the SP itself but only game me the rewards I should have 8,660 SP (lvl8 about to be lvl9) So does anyone have any suggestions on this situation12Views0likes0CommentsThe problem with displaying the progress of the season
Good morning. The game (fc26 xbox one x) freezes when I go to the rewards and season progress menu. The points scored during the season are not displayed on the main page. Updating and reinstalling the game did not help. Рlease, pay attention to the problem.The last straw
The last straw! I’ve complained countless times, and it feels like every time instead of things getting fixed, they just get worse. The game is garbage. I’ve been playing consistently for four months, over 30 matches a day, and I can’t say I’m any better than I was three months ago. Two days ago I was winning every match. Today in Rivals and WL I’m losing everything. No matter what I do in-game, whatever tactics I use, today I just can’t defend. My defense is set to stay back—they don’t. I add more defensive midfielders—they still don’t defend. My players keep bumping into each other and I concede stupid goals. From the few corners I get, I still end up conceding at least one goal per match. I kept telling myself maybe I don’t have the right players, I kept finding all kinds of excuses, but I’m losing to gold players or promo cards from 4–5 months ago with no playstyles, nothing. The game itself makes no sense. And in the end, whose fault is it? Most of us are aware that the game gets worse year after year, even though, ironically, it’s basically just a squad refresh with a few extra features—it’s been the same game for years. And yet we keep buying it, plus spending more money in-game, just to get frustrated. It’s a bigger addiction than smoking. Yesterday I played a game from 2005, and I can honestly say I actually felt good playing it—no frustration, it was relaxing. It’s part of a series that has a new game hopefully coming out this fall. Maybe people will finally break free from the addiction to this game. I also played RDR one day—again, I felt great—but I told myself I’d just log in to complete a few objectives. It was fine, so I started falling back into the trap of playing all day again. That’s it. I’m done getting angry over this game. I’m not putting another cent into their pockets. All their games in recent years should have been upgrades, not something we have to buy all over again—because there’s nothing new. Offline is pointless. Manager or player career mode is boring, repetitive, and meaningless, while online feels like a completely different game from one day to the next—and not in a good way. After everything this year, I can say it feels scripted and predetermined. Goodbye, and maybe I’ll see you again in five years if, by some miracle, EA releases a decent game. Take care everyone, and I hope you have the strength to stay away from this game.164Views4likes8CommentsNewcomer’s feedback: Why I paid for Premium Pass, and why I won’t pay anymore.
I started playing Ultimate Team this March, after years of only playing casual Seasons. I paid for Premium Pass in both Season 6 and 7, and it was good value for money. With a team consistently made with Season Pass players, I climbed division by division and made it to division 5, going now towards division 4. For this, I am thankful to the company. I think that time is more important than money, and if money helps me spend less time on grinding, then I chose to pay. For this reason, I also paid a long time for GTA+. But it’s the very comparison to GTA Online and GTA+, that convinced me to stop paying for future FC26 Premium Passes. And here is where I think the FC26 Premium Pass was worth it and then, not anymore. Why it was worth it: Exclusive content. Both games offer exclusive content to payers, and this is plus. The Premium Pass players are nice to have, especially when starting the game Both games offer in-game coins to payers. None offers much, but still this appreciated. Again, for a starting player, the coins FC26 Premium Pass offers are useful. Why it’s not worth it anymore: No discounts. This is such a simple marketing decision, I feel bad mentioning it. Why don’t you offer some minimal discounts to Premium payers? For instance, 10% percent to a given number of paid evolutions each Season? No bonuses and multipliers. GTA+ has very enticing bonuses, where GTA+ players receive often 4x rewards of certain activities, which makes the weekly grinding worth it and one of the best live service games I played. FC26 has very low and malfunction bonuses, for players in general, not only payers. “Score the last goal of the next rival match”. Ok, I do that, but my opponent rage quits at 4-0 and the game doesn’t record my goal. Great, no bonus then. No valuable rewards. GTA and GTA+ really gives each player the opportunity to expand their business as much as they work for it. Grinding leads to guaranteed payments and wealth. On the other hand, after grinding Ultimate Team for almost 2 months, I still play daily with a feeling of scarcity, whether of valuable players, coins or necessary fodder. I haven’t yet packed a player remotely close to 500k, despite countless hours of playing and submitting SBCs. On the market, my best sold player was 20k. And my club current coin balance is 530k coins. Not long after you start playing Ultimate Mode, you realize the best way to expand your club is not paying for Premium Pass to the very developers of the game, but to third-party developers. Why pay for Premium Pass, when I could direct the approximate same sum of money to a company that offers me a SBC solving tool or to a Patreon trading coach, that can help me make smart trading and fair coins? Both methods are legal and more certain to bring valuable players to your club, than paying for Premium Pass. And with the gains I eventually make with third-party tools, I can just pay the Premium Pass with in-game coins. Am I wrong? Worst Custom Support and zero interest in solving personal problems. I play several online games on a wired gigabit network, on PS5 and Nintendo Switch. All perform very well, including FC26 Seasons. But for whatever reason, Ultimate Mode suffers greatly: game bugs, weird mechanics, latency. But when I report that I just lost a rank in Seasons due to the game closing on me, these are some of the answers I got: “You have a glitchy network”, or “If we had a problem, it would’ve been reported by everyone” or “We will investigate and fix it, if more players report it”. My dear EA advisors, I play fluidly Seasons on the same game and same network, yet when I play Ultimate Mode it’s suddenly my glitchy network? These types of answers are truly insulting and the fact that I hear them repeatedly, tells me EA has no real interest in admitting and fixing general problems, let alone solving problems at individual level. Whenever I had an issue that led to content loss, Rockstar apologized and compensated me whichever way was necessary. I don’t expect compensations, but the fact that you really made a general corporate manifesto of telling people it’s their fault and not even trying to find a real solution to personal case, convinces me you are not the kind of company I would pay Premium Passes for. Final thoughts I don’t want to make it sound that I hold high other gaming developers, because I had my share of quarrellings with Rockstar and it’s never easy to get something out of them. And they are greedy, just like any big gaming company. But then again, I remember that this Sunday, when I get my Squad Battles Elite 3 rewards (hopefully), I will get to pick between my forever stalkers Xhaka, O’Shea and Godfrey; a perfect way to end a long week of grinding. And suddenly other games and companies sound a lot better.64Views0likes0CommentsAI Needs Fully Turning Down Now!!!

Hello everyone, I am just writing this to ask for you to please give us players another (and more) opportunity to get cards that were only obtainable through Live Events and SBCs for a limited time. As a Bayern Munich fan I have a team in UT that consists only out of Bayern players and heroes/icons, and my collection is mostly complete. However, there are a couple of cards that I have missed out on, as they were only available through Live Events/Objectives that I could not get because I was on holiday at the time and was not able to play the game (namely Gnabry Winter Wild Cards and Konrad Laimer UCL RTTF). So I wanted to ask if it might be possible for players to somehow to obtain these cards now, either through a SBC or a new Live Event (like a tournament/objectives in which you can earn these cards as rewards again, basically a re-release). This would be also nice to see for cards that were very difficult to obtain at the time as the highest rewards in very competitive live events, mostly because they were "meta" at the time (like Ibarbo Fantasy FC), but nowadays are outdated and would be nice for possible evolutions, just to try them out or for completionists. Also I would very much appreciate it if you released more "Rewind Player Pick"-SBCs, maybe at a lower price but with more selection (like a 85+ 2 out of 10 pick instead of a 87+ 1 out of 3 pick), so that we can get other cards that were available through SBCs that we didn't get at the time. I for example would still like to get the Goretzka flashback 85-rated card, but unfortunately I was unable to get it even though I did every single available rewind player pick SBC. So it would be great if there were more opportunities to get these kind of players and also sooner rather that later towards the end of the game, as the cards are likely only useful with Evos. Also I was wondering whether Icons that were only available as SBCs (like for example FUT Birthday Matthäus or Ronaldinho WW) could also be available in the regular Icon picks or the "Rewind Pick"-SBCs, because it would be nice to get another opportunity to get these cards. I understand that this is not possible for all the cards, especially the "meta" ones (like Icon Swaps R9), but I dont think it would be too much of an issue if we get another shot to obtain cards like Goretzka 85-rated flashback card or a 88-rated WW Gnabry card, as also cards that were available to get for only a VERY short period of time (like RTTF Laimer). Sincerely, leolol160444Views0likes3Comments
