Did one of the Battlefront games do that? Had a gun that was really good but hard to unlock unless you spent money on it? And like you say I think there was uproar.

It was a character I believe Darth Vader. In the end they had to spin back on it because there was petitions and everything.

EA have got away with it for too long and until this gambling loot box things blows up globally it's here to stay.

It wouldn't be "too" bad if the pack odds were much more detailed, I also fully believe the packs aren't random. Some accounts 100 percent have more luck and success. I mean I see top 100 pack openings a lot and rarely they get better rewards (reds) than gold 3 players it's beyond a joke in reality.

Also lightening round the last 2 days made EA around 20million pounds. You would expect to have the most pure and stable game of all time. Insane really.

Really fallen out of love with the game this weekend, I'm having a reasonable weekend, 14-5, but I'm just not enjoying it.

I know that there is an immense market crash coming in the lead up to TOTY and if I keep my current squad I'll lose millions - I'm thinking of cashing out until TOTY and just doing squad battles / objectives until then.

What do you think guys? Cash out now and have probably 20 mil by TOTY, or keep playing and potentially have 16-17 mil?

Glad it's not just me, it's begun to feel like a real chore lately.

I don't even know why I'm playing it tbh. I'm sat on 800k and don't even care about upgrading my team. I mainly played it for the good sbcs but this year has been terrible for them.

I have 28k coins (yes I know it's crap compared to how much you guys earn ha)

What would you suggest? Team I have below currently

Lloris.
Tismikas, Soyunchu, Sanchez , James.
Van de beek, ziyech, Fabinho.
Zaha, Richardson, raphina

You're probably best just sticking to 442 with little coins, quick wingers and decent cms. Fred and Fabinho would be good. Traore and Zaha as wingers. Richarlison is a good striker, get someone up top with him, Gabriel Jesus is good for the money or Jimenez.

Try and get get the fastest CBs you can, not sure on the price of EPL jobbies, Sanchez is usually a good buy.

I'm already cashed out. Not enjoying the game it's in a dyer state, my hope is the ps5 upgrade and patch will help some of it because gameplay is decent but there's way too many broken things going on right now.

I'll hopefully buy back at a reduced cost come TOTY

Andybtsn · 29 Nov 2020 at 17:04

I'm 11-3, played some good stuff. Will be happy to get to 14 though and play something fun though

Jony27 · 29 Nov 2020 at 17:59

Played all 30 and came out with G1. Varane and Campbell have been a revelation, wish I'd picked them up sooner.
2-3 losses came from me just losing concentration and trying too much. Goal for this year is the push to Elite 3.

SuperMan · 29 Nov 2020 at 18:11

Seems we are on the same level-ish jony. I'm on 17 wins with 6 games left.

One thing that has made a big difference is chipped passes and through balls. Double tap the button and the defenders act daft. Scored some goals from through balls that defender should have stopped. Do recommend trying it.

I'm getting some real Fifa 20 vibes from the game I must admit, but with more of a nerf coming to auto blocks maybe there is hope. Time will tell.

I decided to cash out as well - I could literally sit here and grind the game 3+ hours a day for the next 5 weeks and end up losing 3 mil even after rewards.

Andybtsn · 29 Nov 2020 at 20:09

14-8 in then. Kept playing players way better than me, even the last two I won they were better but clawed it out.

Soulja · 29 Nov 2020 at 20:35

Wes Morgan card doesn't look too bad.

GoogalyMoogaly · 29 Nov 2020 at 22:24

So, next weekend it's next-gen WL!
Who's gonna be on next-gen next weekend?

Also, another Icon pack SBC. Can anyone afford to do another one so soon (that isn't a content creator)?

Quinnaay · 30 Nov 2020 at 01:03

I pray this next gen FIFA transforms the game but I'd be willing to bet nothing changes.

That's my hope as well. I have just started playing COD which I'm finding far more fun at the moment.

Rids · 30 Nov 2020 at 16:54

I'm still waiting on a proper PS5 version of Warzone, I don't want to play backwards compatibility.

I'm thinking it will be a graphical bump but no gameplay changes

chroniclard · 30 Nov 2020 at 16:57

Its not a demanding game, doubt you will be seeing any changes at all. Certainly no gameplay changes.

May benefit latency/server over crowding from less people on next gen.

I do like watching streamers moan though.
Last night I was watching Mike Labelle.
He complained that the last patch removed the skill gap. Apparently he kept getting beaten by people that were worse than him.
Cuz there's no skill gap and it's all just AI blocks.

But that didn't stop people scoring against him. Maybe he isn't defending right for this patch? Sounds like he's not adapting.
Also there's the fact that that just before that just before that I watched Hashtag Tom get a 30-0. How'd he do that if there's no skill gap? surely the pros would suffer more than most from a lack of skill gap?
