andy do you have any thoughts on ea atm and on Nicks uprising, anyways loving sbsd as always. If this came across hateful i apologize

This is AJ3's 693rd squad builder showdown on this channel

Flair also improves volleys, also unlocks some new animations, pops up all the time when I’m going for leaping volleys with Cruyff

surprised these ones aren’t red 😉

Have you seen the auzio and nickrtfm vids?

Hi Andy! As a longtime fan of you and Nick, I'm curious to know your thoughts on Nick's recent statements. I saw in a previous reply on this video that you felt it was divisive and drew a line in the sand between EA-sponsored creators and those not affiliated. While I agree that his initial statement was not worded in the best way, I still feel that his intentions were right in what he was saying. I think it was worded harshly out of frustration with the lack of public criticism of EA from said EA partners. I understand it's not that black and white but it does seem that EA has something akin to a gag order on its partners. That doesn't seem fair to you all as creators because we all know you care about the game/gameplay equally as much but because you're seemingly not allowed to criticize them, it puts you at odds with those who do criticize them. Regarding two of your other points made in that comment to another user (1. Not buying FC points and 2. Uninstalling), I think you're missing the mark of what is frustrating that side of the community. 1. Not buying FIFA points is one thing, and it's something you've stood by for years. You only do it for content because it's your job, not because it's a practical use of money. I think almost all creators are of that opinion. However, the recent Champs rewards debacle highlights this issue for me. It's not so much about buying FC points as it is about the shift away from rewards related to gameplay or from SBC/Objectives to these inflated store packs which are outright predatory. Fair rewards/equal weight would make the game more rewarding as it bridges the gap between gameplay and menus. Yet it's clear that EA does not want these parts of the game to be fair for users as it instead drives them to store packs (highlighted by their massive earnings despite average users and copies sold being markedly down). Being ignorant of the manipulative nature of these packs and dismissing it with "just don't do it" is fairly disingenuous as it blames the victims rather than the root cause of this issue. 2. As for "just uninstall if you don't like it;" that is very blind to a very glaring issue. It's akin to "Oh you're critical of society yet you still participate in it, how interesting." Of course, nobody is forced to play this game but when there's a lack of competitors, it creates a pseudo-monopoly on football games. This point is unlikely to change until the market is saturated with competitors that force EA's hand to make improvements. Furthermore, we're critical of this game and hate the current state that it's in because we know it could be so much better if the community was led by a company that cared about them equally. This dynamic can be seen in countless other AAA titles where the company responsible carefully considers community feedback. The community loves football and wants it to be an enjoyable experience. This same passion is also what drives such negative energy from within, mainly due to the lack of implementation and community consideration when making changes to the game. So while you can be critical without playing the game, it's very difficult to form educated criticisms without experiencing it yourself or being told how to feel about it by a creator. As players, we feel there is no connection to EA. They are just some ambiguous, monolithic, multi-billion dollar corporation. But creators are distinct figureheads to whom the community can express themselves in hopes that the creator can use their platform to make positive changes for their viewers. This brings me back full circle to my initial point. While I think Nick's initial statement was divisive in wording, I think the message was to create solidarity between the creators and their viewers. Regardless of affiliation, creators should not be scared to make their thoughts public, especially if it's critical of EA. I don't think this means that creators who don't should be bombarded with hate by any means either. However, that same sentiment does not abstain creators from FAIR criticism if the community feels that a creator is not using their platform to advocate for them. I hope this reaches you with only the best of intentions and I look forward to possibly hearing your thoughts regarding this.

You could see That van Der sar pick from a mile away 😂

Love how the description still says Fifa 23 👀

keep up the good work man much love

Regardless of you position I’ll keep supporting the channel i myself stopped playing fc and stand strongly with nick but I still enjoy watching all my fav creators

Feels like you been gone ages! Missed you Andy xx

I haven't touched the game in months due to the state of it but I will always watch sbsd always the best series

This is my first SBSD since like 2022 😅I miss the days when I was obsessed with fifa and there was nothing better than watching an SBSD but that’s life I guess😢Love the content as always Andy!

Yes, I am back Andy 😉 Nice to see Bateson using me at RB

Love to se Baldini on squad builder showdown 🎉

Fair play to Cieran Slicker. Gone from playing football with FG to celebrating promotion with Ed Sheeran. Genuinely a proper sound geezer as well.

Ye my boy andy❤

eusebio is becoming the new TOTY lahm 😂😂

Bateson with an absolutely incredible kit, he’s never looked better

Andy is spot on about flair bc salah toty mentiones is crazy abot finisesa

Still waiting for an sbsd where they build teams as usual but the game is computer on computer and they just watch and react

@AJ3 where are the streams? I'm a bit bored without

andys lookin more and more like ted lasso day by day

i think the finesse thing is potential shot power

The most interesting thing is when he had concept mbappe on reserves

it was called niangolan's niinjas andy, been here since reev was a fifa youtuber :D love the content

It is so obvious that Andy did not know of Lala. He just saw his historical card on Fut bin and shouted has has been Silver for so long

It’s TOTS I wish you would do more than 1-2 SBSD a week! It’s my favourite FIFA series

this video was very good video well done aj3

At some point we are going to get the first player with 99 in every stat and/or the first 100 rated player in history on console

you made us wait alright !!!!!

Andy at centre back if you are ever using a team using Bundesliga players and three are Bayern, try putting viggosdottir She has long ball plus, anticipate plus and aerial plus, she’s provided the best long balls and revolutionised my whole team

Player who hits finesse shots best, no joke, TOTY KDB. Facts. He's unreal, any angle, any range, any foot. Try him.

The best trivelas I’ve used so far is tots Xavi Simons. He literally scores every one

I don’t know where else to stay this I quit playing for two weeks reinstalled and opened two gamble packs the weekly tots upgrade and the tots Bundesliga upgrade and got tots CR7 and tots wirtz

i got red zaire emery and david, was buzzing but my mate did get 9 win and get dembele loll

I've always thought the players who get discarded through being picked should be put back in the team at the end for the discard

I must have a dud because my red Sancho is pants at finesse shots despite having finesse+. He is very good anyway but his finesse is terrible

Future star zaire emery, toty xavi, toty essien, ice rodri or fut birthday de jong.

SBSD is the best series!! Wish Bateson would set up F8tal again.

i noticed hagi & dybala 90 potm hit finesse shots from distance the best , pine is third imo

Mo salah TOTYHM is so OP for finessing shots. Got him in a player pick and he is so good

@aj3 song at 5:10 please?

Santos has flair and her finesses are crazy too

Andy if someone guesses your formation you should let them do your custom tactics to

I got Zaire emery from 9 wins rewards after patch 🎉

Goat is back

Left Back tots moments estupinan is one from the prem andy

L Winno. Great to see you back

i just packed georgia stanway from tots upgrade sbc she 90 club and unreal shes only 600k

Forgot you were still on fifa until the drama lol.

You’re a top man Andy. Handled this like a proper scouser. A man of the people. Love from Manchester. ❤️

Who is the beste midfielder under 500k?

What about Estupinan?

Foden has the best finesse shots in the game!!!

my red picks have been worse got Wubben-Moy 3 times 😡

I'm so early my girlfriend just left me

Amazing vid🎉😊

Bateson fair play you skinny legend

Why Romain Del Castillo who was born in France and represented France at youth level shouldn't be French?

Bateson mega brained every single sbsd this year

Ooooo ea friends

Georgia stanway 90+ all stats and an absolute beast. Love me Jamaican Georgia

Everyone that says they are are boycotting EAFC but then watch videos of creators who spend thousands are part of the problem. Stop watching and they will stop spending. These two are what makes EAFC not care about the rest of us. Just leaving a comment and not watching with this baldy on.

Palmer's finesses clear both Palmer and Son, and I have all of them.

What is this all about EA what did they do can someone explain

Just two of the goats back in business

it will always be the knights of nainggolan‼️

lets be nice to everyone please

yea i got red rice and blue rice

The best finesse is tots di maria trust me

Haha as if the guest the week during all this drama was Bateson…

Can someone explain why yoi wouldn't try for all 20 wins in Fut Champs?

Missed you babycakes x

I only packed rice twice untradeable sadness

Hagi finishes better than Claudia but ill use both

Tobido-Sibide

TOTY Alexia, still the queen of the finesse,

May have absolutely zero interest in playing the game anymore, but will always watch SBSD. Even if it's Bateson🤢 as the guest.

i packed 97 belligam

Was watching the nick28t, nep and rtfm stream earlier, would love to see you hop on a stream with them

We need danny aarons back plz

You a real yapper

Stop sucking up to EA the game needs change and you know it do the right thing

posting this during current Fifa climate is brutal

W

Sbsd is only good when its not bateson thats on

Tots Di Maria

Bateson 🤓

Normal people’s measurements are stones and pounds…..

Aint alla that

LB Estupinan

😍😍

✊✊✊

Alright

Andy really thinks SBSD is the reason low rated cards are so rare on the market. How egocentric can you be? 😂

What a snooze fest 😴

Best player I've found for finesse shots is potm dybala, I've scored from some ridiculous angles with him and he has flair+ which adds to the theory :-)

Early

Fc24 is so dead. used to love squad builder showdown like 4 years ago
