Anyone used 87 Okocha?

He would go well with my Futmas Musa

At the moment got mahrez rf and sub him straight off for POTM Mane.

He doesn't get good reviews, he looks like a great CAM on paper.

I'm the opposite, I'm planning to clean up the trophies and move on.

The latest EA patent that's been uncovered shows their true colours and I'm not willing to support a company that would rather spend money on developing ways to purposely frustrate their user base, causing them to open loot boxes/packs, rather than spend money improving the game.

EA have just joined Ubisoft and Activision on my list of developers/publishers I won't touch.

EA haven't suddenly jumped on the bandwagon, they created the monster when FUT first came out in 2009.

anyone used any of the IFs of Mahrez?

I did and was quite impressed just lacked the pace, willian who stat wise isn't much quicker seems loads quicker. Passing and crossing was good with mahrez but shooting could be somewhat off.

I used 86 at CAM, was pretty nice to use.

Great video, thanks.

I hope the bloke's right and EA eventually get wrecked but I wouldn't be surprised to see them either increase the price of loot boxes, if they become taxed, or remove the Ultimate Team modes altogether from their games.

Also, the number of studios they've destroyed over the last 15 years is shocking

I wish EA didn't have all the rights I'd quit Fifa immediately if another game came along with all the rights but it won't ever happen. It's a shame. I also think the rumours of fifa becoming a subscription game is highly likely. This would increase there revenue even further in my eyes.

We are to blame for all this after all, we're the fools spending money buying loot crates, packs you name it. It's only going to get worse and I don't mind spending if it's worth it, but this game is so broken which is why I've hardly spent at all onit.

Used my POTM Kane in the SBC for the new one, packed Boateng so made 100k profit and a better card. Result.

What do you mean with the game being broken though? If you take away the FUT element and people do have a choice if to play that element of it, what is fundamentally wrong? I have played every FIFA since PES 6, I think the majority have improved, they tend to listen to criticism of the game and adjust. I think EA are terrible company but in terms of creating a good football game, they manage it.

if they spent a bit of time sorting out the netcode and making a consistent gaming experience then it would be...

Stewy · 12 Jan 2018 at 14:02

haven't played this properly in weeks... anything exciting happening? TOTY must be soon?

It's on Monday, with majority of the vote going to Youtubers and the like.

But what do you want them to fix? All I hear about things being broken but no one elaborating.

The main thing i hear is the lag in WL, but if you played normal online modes, what would you fix there?

spluff · 12 Jan 2018 at 16:20

its not lag as such - its inconsistence gameplay - every game feels different which i think is due to net compensation or something else... this is prevalent in all modes online
