unfortunately FIFA community deserves this, if we want something to change, people in the community should at least boycott the game at this point EA is just making fun of us, community should do this otherwise nothing gonna change.

I quit playing 4 months ago and whata peaceful life. FC24 is a scam, just quit it guys.

The Messi saga is what killed it for me, removing the SBC asap and just letting anyone keep him without even reinstating the player pick was the end for me.

People play fifa now to get packs and hopefully hit something nice untradeable. I started playing fifa in 2015 because the gameplay was fun and consistent, now playing a match feels like a chore so I can pack another bernardo silva or parejo when my rewards come in a couple days.

Yeah, I made a horrible mistake, I spent money on TOTY when i shouldn't have. I saved over 300 packs as well, not 1 TOTY. They have shifted the pack weight to intentionally screw players, fucked the market over and then EA give TOTY Messis to little Timmys who probs got the game at Christmas. I think I am actually done with this I have given the game the benefit of doubt every time but not anymore. Might as well come back for TOTS and Futties when the game gets fun IMO and stop after that. I ain't touching EAFC 25. TOTY has left a bad taste in my mouth.

Clubs doesn’t even work right now and EA haven’t mentioned it. Games haven’t counted for over a week it’s a disgrace

6:28 i strongly believe that another reason ea is pushing towards the untradeable pack thing is to avoid legal actions concerning the whole gambling topic. Pretty sure they do it to be able to argue "it cant be gambling, because it's untradeable and it can't be sold etc."

The fact that Madden and FIFA are both on sale this early at such a low price shows that EA are losing players

They didn’t just run TOTY they broke and ruined Ultimate Team.

I always said when untradables were introduced it would be the decline of this game! We need a multi year game, that you actually have to grind to get good cards and your hyped to even get a gold player. The first few weeks should be bronze and silver players.

Lmfao someone I've met streamed and opened 1200 packs (not all were his he opened friends packs onstream aswell) and packed 0 TOTYs Back in 2015 1200 packs would've got you 50 TOTY players😂

I miss seasons and tournaments so much. It’s so ridiculous that they’ve changed the format to this useless nonsense

7:10 EA’s ceo already looks like a devil

Another annoying thing is how they keep giving duplicate players. I’ve never seen this many duplicates in FUT

i packed Lewandowaki at the start of Fifa 17 and was over the moon bc for me being near f2p as a child i could buy like an entire team with it 😭

This was the last straw for me. Please do not spend money on EA and stop playing the game. It’s not worth it to support these scumbags.

I hope UFL is taking notes

'till this day, I'm still playing FIFA 23

@2:02 Haaland was toty so he wasnt the next most exspensive gold, it wouldve been 90 rated card as all 91 base golds were totys i believe

Bro forgot to mention that 98% of packs were get now are untradable 😭

Haaland was in TOTY and Vini was in honorable mentions so you couldn't even pack them for coins 😂

"Please make smart decisions with your money" and your time. Time can be money as well and these hours you are putting in is also important to EA. If the frustration is too much, just step away.

Where are the lawyers?! SURELY this year has given them more than enough ammunition to put together a pretty decent class action lawsuit

They removed legacy defending because of scripting. With jockey ball is bouncing or not taking the ball, even if you player have special perks.

Crazy to think we had 24 TOTY items, TOTYHM, and 2 icon teams in packs for a week but most of us didnt even get 1 card of those lmao. I luckily opened my picks on the day attackers got released and i managed to get TOTY Smith, and then i got Xavi the next day, but when the whole promo was in packs i got absolutely nothing.

I stopped playing right after toty this year because champs was a nightmare… not to mention half my passes didn’t go where I wanted them too

Premature epackulation helped me get toty icons while I collected fodder for SBCs. I'm so glad I spent most of my packs before the full release because I got only mentions after that through grinding.

Exact same situation with FC Mobile, i havent played consistently for 5 months now and switched to Efootball(PES) Its the greatest switch you could ever make

Seeing this actually make me hope that what China do to combat these gambling games happened internationally.

I did all the 83+ x10 & multi 84+ sbcs & still don't have a single bit of fodder over a 85, the pack weight atm is bloody awful

Love the content, keep up the great work bro!

no clue how this came up in my feed since i never play fifa but this is all wild to me. not even how bad it's gotten as you covered in the video, but the fact that it even exists at all is mind boggling.

Keep up the great work, do you stream on Twitch?

Last year, in FIFA Mobile, they released Ultimate Team Of The Season and for like 1 hour, there was a glitch in the 20 token pack which gave out UTOTS guaranteed and high amounts of coins. Most of the people with decent amounts of fifa points got like 20-30 UTOTS 113-115 cards guaranteed. These cards had rlly good stats too and people who got them got SO MUCH MORE OVR in just 20 mins.. and basically all the people who didnt get it was compensated by one, yes ONE 114 UTOTS card.

They should’ve put in 90 and 91 ovr dupe exchanges too. Stopping at 89 kinda showed their hand with the expectations that people won’t pull 90s to put into it because of the odds THEY created. You could argue that people shouldn’t be putting that high rated of a player into an exchange, but it’s better than trying your damn best to scrape together cards to start a squad for a big sbc to get rid of dupes.

Even EA CEO looks more like ai generated thing than a real human being

Keep killing it brotha!

KZfaqrs have to take alot of responsibility for the state of ea games. I cant help but blame people like auzio, bateson, nepenthez for getting a generation addicited to gambling whilst constantly promoting it. The day they demonitized for it is the day fifa will change.

This game is so weird. When I was matching an opponent in DR or Fut Champ, the matching session always got lapsed or the opponent simply leaving the match. It happens all the time. It takes at least a few attempts to just to match successfully. And then during the match, my pace +90 winger will always got outpaced by the opponent's fullback coming up from behind. It also seems to me his players had unlimited stamina as well, because he didn't even had to make substitution! What's more. When my winger was charging, it would suddenly slow down for unknown reason, not to mention that my players always seem to act very sluggishly while the opponents can run very fast. The most outrageous thing is when I was about to have a short corner, the opponent could even shield my teammates behind him, which should be impossible!

So true man, hate the direction this game has been going

Fifa 24 is honestly really fun if you don't play ultimate team

FIFA will never change and EA will never change. Because people keep buying it and keep playing it and keep spending money on it. I don’t feel bad for players anymore because they keep supporting it. Greedy companies will only “learn” when we don’t give them money and that will never happen so enjoy your shitty, broken $70 game every year

You are awesome! Thank you for calling EA out on their BS. I need to see more videos like this after I blew over $700 on TOTY packs. This video helps me come to grips with my pack addiction 😢

the 0.7% playerbase thing is so true i have an account where i had the 10hour trial on ea app that i played out and i havent got on that account since

While EA has been diving in the gutter with EAFC I feel like Konami improved Efootball a lot in that regard. I've been playing it for couple of months, and I already have a team decent enough to compete in top divisions while spending absolutely zero penny in the game. You can grind your way to the top here without spending anything and the gameplay is also not broken which I like.

I didn’t get into the game in time to do the Messi pick… I saw the sbc, went into it and started throwing players in, then it got removed as I tried to submit it… it’s almost like they have no QC team, or that their QC team doesn’t have a person with a basic understanding of stats and their player database to catch the fact that there is no player other than Messi from MLS

I was struggling with UT and decided to try Seasons again. WOW, what a change! The gameplay is so much more enjoyable.

Thank you for saying this. I just returned to fifa since not playing since fifa 17. The game was unplayable without buying fifa points/getting a couple of the crazy upgraded cards in my opinion. It used to be just common, rare, TOTW, TOTY, TOTS. Now there’s a million player rarities / so many ways to obtain OP upgraded players that in my experience with FUT 24 it’s unplayable without buying fifa points. I had to buy $50 worth just to pack TRADABLE players I could sell for coins & start getting the upgraded player cards. I dont know, I just don’t remember every single opponent having a full squad of upgraded cards.

So i started with fifa23 half way through the year and got really good players just by grinding and opening packs without paying a single dollar. Same thing on fc24, not a single dollar spent but the level of player you get are shit and feels more inclined to buy a pack to have a chance at getting players.

Back in Fifa 16, the ĥigh rated gold cards were actually useable, along with most of the faster, more agile players rated 75-80. If you were a half decent fifa player, you could build a 50k squad and actually win matches by being good at Fifa. The past few years it's been about grinding SBCs and spamming broken gameplay mechanics with Meta players. It started in Fifa 19 with timed finesse shots, now its trivela shots.

I packed TOTY Bright this year from a 2 rare player pack. I wasn't hyped because it made me realise I didn't have to buy all the expensive untradeable store packs...

No no no Only 1 group of people to blame and that would be KZfaqrs KZfaqrs whine no content- 1000 different card types KZfaqrs release “meta”tactics- People all play the same KZfaqrs sponsored by coin sellers- pumps the market KZfaqrs drive viewership- More people buy the game and spend money affirming to EA there’s no problem Unfortunately the current state of fifa KZfaqr is 70% to blame for the game we play today

Last Year in FIFA Mobile 23 there was a glitch where players were getting UTOTY Messi,Mbappe and many other high rated cars but thankfully FIFA made amends by giving 1 112 TOTY and 1 114 UTOTY but since EA have taken over it's never been about the players and more about them and their income.

I was a FTP since the game started and since November I started saving my packs and investing until TOTY to I point where I had 3000 packs. All I got was HM Olga Carmona who doesn’t even go into my team. Then when the Messi incident happened, I opened the player pick and didn’t get Messi, and thats when I quit

Finally did it, this was the push i needed to leave the game, have fully not played since this happened, honestly feels kinda good; hope the ones that still enjoy keep doing so, and the ones that dont, stop for their own sake, cause it has only gotten worse this year

what people dont realize is why ea gets more agressive withs untradable packs and packs with ridicoulous prices is what every company at the stock market does. They have lost tons of players but they still want to earn the same money or even grow. So what do they do? They try to milk the playerbase that is still there even harder so they can tell there shareholders how great the game is doing.

Lol the ederson clip IS mine 😂 i love my cameo

I'm a casual player but still surprised that I didn't pack at least 1 TOTY this year, which is a first. EA is absolutely taking the piss here.

I haven't spend any money one ea fc yet but when there was a team of the year promo I opened 50+packs and the best so far was toty nomination musiala I'm happy but I was thinking if I should load up some fifa points to open store packs to have a higher chance of packing it but I end up closing the game and didn't bought it

The worst thing is that most of the community even after all that is still handing out money to ea on a silver plate and some content creators keep exposing such behaviors on their platform so more kids get suck up to it, for me this was my second year of fifa and i cannot stand such treatment from a company to its player base and probably it will be my last year purchasing a football game from ea

I even think they've limited rivals wins to 7 that you spend more time in the menus (and look into the shop).

Simple answer... Just don't put money ever in the game. I never have and never will.

I quit the game after this madness. I am happier than ever now.

I made ALL of objectives and i not pack a single TOTY,even honorable mentions

Quit playing 2 years ago. Never benn so much happier

I’ve been playing fifa since fifa 15 and this fifa is probably the fifa I’m the best at and the fifa I have the most coins/ valuable team and yet it’s the game I have least enjoyed my teams worth 20 million some untradable some tradeable and yet I find myself only playing fut champs and then not opening the game until the next weekend league

The first line alone made me like this video. Dunking on EA's incompetence is a bonus ✅✅✅

fifa 16 was the last good fifa game, it was the peak on 17 but downhill from there

I have one huge problem with this video... How can you say Silver Stars was bad? It was literally something refreshing for once instead of having the same 5 player in the exact same promos every time. It was so fun to make an OP silver team and playing with players you woudlnt have touched otherwise.

Atleast efootball lets u keep your players. Not coming back until frostbite is replaced. Ive had Ronaldinho 2006, kaka 2006, eto'o, vieira, and figo for over 2+ years and still going i have no desire to buy them again fut + gameplay have ruined the game (been playing since fifa 94)

I disagree with the premise that having high rated gold cards worth 200k was good for the game. Back then, high rated golds were pretty much unattainable. Nowadays it’s much easier for people to get cards that they want to play with. I don’t see the logic behind your sentiment as to how it harms the game.

A 700k pack that contains nothing tradeable.....sums EA up very accurately.

Packed Ruben Dias TOTY on PC after when full TOTY team was came to packs.

In fc mobile we have exchanges that has less rated players

I have genuinely not packed a single mid-high tier promo cards this entire year. I haven’t participated in a single promo because I can’t pack anything. All my untradable are icons from the gamble picks and packs. I don’t have a single first owner promo card in the team and I have been playing since the beginning.

Mate you are awesome with these videos

I did that SBC and didn't get him, but I got x2 TOTY's, a TOTY Icon & 6 HM's even though I didn't save packs. I wonder if people with a lot of packs saved were penalised with even lower odds. My luck was good, but some people opened way more packs and got nothing.

Been playing fifa since 13. This is the first one where I genuinely got bored by November. The untradable packs have ruined the game. I will not be buying another fifa going forward

I agree with the idea entirely. Strangely, i have never got a TOTY until this year, and I got a VVD, Bright and Zola. I could not believe my luck

I just started ultimate team last week and in div 9 I’m playing against people with all icon. It’s just not the same

I got 2 low toty yet I feel devastated by Messi 86+ zzz

We still line up year after year to buy this crud expecting it to be fixed this time. Isn't that the definition of insanity?!

Worst part is how the fodder has been awful I've not been able to do an sbc

Actually saved up for packs this year (23) and didn't get shit but gold cr7 and regular Kane

As a person who plays the mobile version same thing happened in mobile version during tots last year were people were packing messi haaland and other utots and 1b coins by opening points claimed by playing matches against ai so i know people are feeling

In fifa 18 I spent all my Christmas money (£50) on some packs because I wanted a good player. The best player I got was some random 84. Fast forward to now, I bought one of the 4,000 fifa point packs (£30) during Toty and got icon xavi, hm Trent + a bunch of high rated fodder. This game is terrible but the store is still way better value now than it was back in the day.

FIFA went down hill when price ranges became a thing

I'm in a different timezone and never even goto do the Toty league player SBC because I was sleeping. I wake up, I see the drama on twitter. So FUCK EASports

Wish there was some thing we could do. Like all content creators combine and rally all of their subs to commit to not spending a penny on fc24 from now until it’s obsolete and to stage some mass sit out of weekend league. And for all players to drop from elite and nobody enter it for a month to show an empty league table. But it can’t / won’t happen sadly. All content creators refusing to SharePlay pack opening would be a start.

I think a lot of people including me called it a day with eafc after toty, good on them no ea fc 25 for me

The game was fun back then because a) gameplay wasn't just a means to an end for most people and b) the company didn't have to sell the game with good gameplay, because the people that bought it for opening packs and collecting cards/making a team spend 10x more money than those that play for the gameplay.

Things you explained made so much sense 👏 , only 1 thing can be said tho, this generation so different , people are so different , they will put hundreds of dollars into the game and they did and thats the main reason Ea have pushed the limits to the sky , becauze they know their community and how much revenue they increased since then and every day, every month every year they will keep doing exactly the same. Money grab will get worse and worse , you won't find casual players

9:00 LMAO

At least they should make us keep all the copy for the untradeable so we can use them when ever we want for the SBC

2:50 This is not a fair comparison.. First of all the pack weight is completely different and second it is way easier to make coins now compared to Fifa 16

Game is finished. People want constant content for some reason when before people would play some games and move on. ADHD kids want constant dopamine hits and the power creep is insane.

EA is losing money. Stop buying coins! Say no to microtransactions! Share guys

It's like casino pay out ratio.

This is the first fifa where I never spent real money on packs yet. I have 1mil coins and a 90 rated team. Only issue is it’s a waiting game to grind that, if you miss one weekend league you lost 100k for that weekend. And now you’re behind a lot of players

EA had 2 options to choose , 1 - Remove any Messi given 2 - Give everyone Messi toty. And they chose the dumbest and clueless way to screw %90 of the players. Congrats ea
