Pretty much. The value of cards are going up Thursday evenings after rewards, i think because people get nuff coins and build their teams for WL.
Plus the cycle of CL cards a couple of weeks ago saw this:

 

-Tuesday Champions League SBCs come out, cards first appear

-SBCs last two days, after that no more supply

-They rise through WL

-They drop on Sunday/Monday

-They rise up through the next week, then fly Thursday night (two weeks ago)

-They plummet Monday/Tuesday as everyone expects new CL SBCs 

-New CL SBCs appear.

 

Does that make sense?

 

I don't think they hit the same highest prices this Thursday, as there's more of them. But you can see why I think they rise up again.

Loads of people on Reddit moaning about how good players get themselves relegated to get better rewards in Rivals, and so a Division 5 players has to get thrashed by a Div 2 player when they just want a game of Fifa...

 

Except I can't see any evidence of this. Are there posts anywhere by Div 2 players claiming they do this? Have we seen screenshots of players in Div 2 one week, then in Div 5/6 the next?

Because it feel a little like people just not being good at the game to me.

Generally I have found there to be less issues overall than last year. I did get totally screwed in a match yesterday but bad player selections but it's less frequent and good tactics can help. I'm currently in 5 with around 1360 skill points. 

I do think you get too few points for a draw. I drew 3 in a row, really hard fought games and lost one and ended up in a negative for the session. Won the next two mind.

The top players were doing it because it was impossible to get a game in rivals, hence the patch to hide some details from the other player at the point of matchmaking.

 

But it’s still very easy to get destroyed by a very good player while being a very good player if they are just able to exploit your play style and tactics.

I had -11 points for a 4-4 draw last night...wtf?!!

Skill points at the end of the match are determined by your skill rating versus your opponents.

So -11 for a draw would mean he had a skill rating 22 points less than yours going into the game.

 

You can get a much higher bonus for winning a game if your opponent has a higher skill rating than you, and a much lower bonus of your opponent has a much lower rating than you.

Nah, I can't see it. 

 

I've not played a FIFA that has seemed fairer. If I lose, it's generally because I made a mistake. I played probably 12 games last night and lost 3 I think. Each because I did silly things like trying to pass it out of defence after tackling, or chipping the ball to the wing with a goal kick too close to the opposition, etc.

 

Each game I play, I feel like I can get a result, even if I come up against someone with a load of Icons, because I think...well, you're in division 5 as well, so you can't be that good, or you'd be in Div 4, or a higher rank! I think the matchmaking is fair in this mode.  If I see any fucking silvers, that's when I shit it...

Gonna be a long slow road to the black Friday price drops.

 

Sat on nearly 2.4m now and I'm itching to buy something. No idea what though. How much of an improvement are CL cards over standard gold? 

 

They just seem pointless to me. Single digit point increases in a load of attributes don't seem worth the huge cost ramp up. 

 

OTW's would be a better bet, surely, as the potential is always there for them to increase. Maybe?! @Pants McSkill
