At this point if you’re playing fifa/fc you know what it is. Same with NBA 2k and madden to a lesser extent. They’re all slot machines with a pro sports coat of paint on top.
As someone who grew up putting hundreds of hours into franchise and career modes, it’s sad to see that even those have been ruined by the greed.

Enough people seem to pay for this stuff, otherwise it wouldn’t be still around
I never played FIFA or other sport games (except racing games if that counts), but isn’t this just pay-to-win like any f2p mobile game?

I hate EA as much as the next person, but this article is dog shit, and it’s baffling people read this. The author of the article makes it seem like it’s an outcry over this when all they reference in the article is one reddit users comment and two replies to that comment. Reddit of all places is this person’s source. This seems like a high-school journalism students assignment for the week.
Edit: literally just saw another ign article on /r/pcgaming where the whole article was just referencing a csgo reddit thread.

The best part (from EAs perspective) is that they dont have to pay for the FIFA rights anymore, so they pocket all those profits.

For an untradable pack that is shocking. I stopped playing FIFA years ago as it’s painful to watch your players start tripping over and your keeper let in pass backs when you haven’t bought any packs or players for a while.

Never played FUT, my last fifa was 2020 but frankly this mode is a gacha pay2win mode where your content does not port to the next FIFA iteration. This fut mode is what keeps EA alive and a crazy amount of people purchase lootboxes in fifa however
I think frankly outside fut everything is fun and there’s a ton to do, it’s less horrific than NBA 2K for sure. If you are into football (or ‘soccer’) it can really be fun you don’t need to touch FUT mode
I just never felt the need to purchase a yearly fifa (fc), maybe I’ll pick the FC 2025 on the switch 2 if it’s releasing next year now that the switch version is frostbite and kinda aligned

Sad what they’ve done to these games. MyCareer in 2K used to be one of my favorite gaming experiences, period. Now it is unplayable as is FIFA/FC

People who play ultimate team know what they’re getting into. This is what the mode is.

I don’t understand why people spend money on these packs. I’m an average player and I like FUT. Played about 10 hours since launch and currently have an 81 rated team just bought through the transfer market. It’s fine. Sure it doesn’t have all the flash cards but I am not wasting money on that.

It’s pretty fucking simple stop buying the game.

My biggest issue with this game so far is that it crashes every 5-10 minutes, making it pretty much impossible to play. Any tips are welcome!!

I mean, they keep buying it.

I’ve never spent a cent on Ultimate Team. Its kinda wild because the most of the cards you pay for get outdated within months. Like what is the point if at the end of the game’s lifespan everyone is getting cracked cards. It doesnt make sense.

And Ultimate Team is what’s wrong with EAFC/FIFA.

You only have a people who spend money on this to blame.
