So it’s these future stars and making special cards for them that reflect what they will be if the reach their maximum potential. The EA cash lab must have really burnt the midnight oil to come up with that one. No clever new mode to incentivise play, no structured tournament with unique rewards. No. Just more boosted cards in packs to draw money from mugs.

How dare you talk that way about Jerec!  We're all worried about him since he disappeared from the forum recently, anything could've happened.  :(

 

Anyway,  @Ballzzie, how are you getting on with your new FUT team?

If using a sweeper was an effective approach then he would be worth about 1.5m but as a CB he looks like a huge risk. A bit like Messi in that on paper he should be the same value as Ronaldo but his physical attributes mean he just doesn't have the same impact in FIFA.

Holy shit. 

 

Those Youth Cards are absolutely outrageous, absolutely stacked. (Upamecano.:ph34r:)

 

They have essentially just produced a big pile of make believe cards. :seanr:

 

 

Yeah, because they have exhausted every possible way to lure people in using conventional methods so they are resorting to pure fantasy now!

I had Upamecano on Football Manager, he was insane!

Me too. Arthur as well. I had Lafont too, but he was rubbish.

 

They've gone way overboard with special cards though, I'm with Mardigan on that. I haven't spent any actual cash on Ultimate Team since 12 so there's not much I can do in terms of a boycott, but they might have talked themselves out of a sale of 20 with this bullshit.

Another thing... as if these little overpaid wankers need anything else to inflate their ego and sense of entitlement, they have more or less become some of the most powerful players in FIFA, without really having achieved anything whatsoever in their career yet. I suppose that’s another discussion entirely but I can’t get over how this recent ‘promotion’ has made me feel. Up until now I accepted FIFA is what it is and would enjoy the excellent team I had managed to put together but after this pish, it’s the first time I have genuinely considered not getting 20 later this year.

That's my team right now. I've jumped back in for the first time since before Christmas, and enjoyed the few games I've had. I started thinking about what to do at CAM when Rui Costas loan finishes - I could buy Eriksen with the money I had, or I could downgrade Handanovic to his base card which would let me buy De Bruyne - and it clicked again why I had dropped FUT in the first place. The game isn't set up to just let you have fun, it just causes stress and anxiety around how to constantly be upgrading your team.

 

At this point I thought fuck it, my team's fine as it is, I can throw Oscar and Renato back in if needs be - so I blew my load on an ultimate pack. As packs go, it was pretty good. 86 rated TOTW guy, Benatia and Vidal all in the same pack. Pretty lucky. However, looking at the prices of them, I'd barely scrape back half what I paid, because for some reason Trent Alexander Arnold is now the third best RB in the fucking game, and some no-mark you've never heard of has completely invalidated the special Mario Gotze card that they put in to reflect him at the high point of his career. I had a look at what that pack would cost if I'd paid real money for it - about £18. And yet there's a whole group of people that are so entrenched in the FUT ecosystem that they'll keep handing this over every time there's a new promotional event.

 

Fuck off EA, I'm done. I can't keep supporting them when they're fleecing people like this.

 

Edit: it won't upload my image for my current team. Doesn't matter, it's not really the point of my post.

THIS!!!

 

I agree with everything you have said KD but this is the big point for me at the moment. I went on a bit of a rant in the Ultimate Team thread someone started in Discussion earlier but this point stuck with me at the end.

 

I have Icon Larsson and FB Zlatan up front. I have effectively won at Ultimate Team with that front line and the rest of the team is good enough that any changes would at best be very small incremental improvements. But as you say, the entire system is built to encourage constant change, challenge you get more packs, the next one will have that gem you need or introduce fucking fantasy youngsters where most of them will be lucky to play a handful of games for the top teams. Yet they are all Icon level stats. FUCK OFF!

 

I’m at the same point as you mate in that I am no longer going to pick up packs even with coins. I will keep playing Rivals and WL and accept the rewards then use coins in the market and I appreciate that might be slightly hypocritical but it’s either that or play no football game at all because Pro Evo is a mess for very different reasons.
