I agree, I don't find pack openings to be that entertaining either, I'd rather see gameplay. But they apparently make a lot of money from pack opening videos, so why wouldn't they do it? Plus it has to be just about the easiest content to make of anything on Twitch or Youtube. It takes no skill, no thought, you don't really even have to pay attention. Why would you do gameplay when you can do pack openings?Tbh most of the pack content is rubbish as well. Not enough just play games.
Yeah, the menu content people often do a lot of packs too though. For example TwoSync mostly do menu content for packs (a few SBC players). If there's no Icon packs SBCs or Guaranteed X pack SBCs they'll probably just do 81+ upgrade packs or player pick packs. Basically if they're not RTG, then most of the menu content people would be hit hard by no FP too.There are many different kids of streamers, each fills a certain niche
Gameplay - you've got guys like Boras, Kurt (if hes ever unbanned), Anders etc. All pretty **** at the menu side of things, but amazing on the sticks.
Packs - everybody dabbles to an extent, but you're looking at Bateson, Castro
Trading - Nick RTFM, guy runs an RTG and ends up with 80 million coins every year
Menu Content - Two sync, Nick 28T
RTG - Fuji, Nepenthenz
Everybody has their niche, if you want to watch gameplay there are good gameplay streamers out there to watch, I'd wholly recommend Boras for a chilled gameplay vibe.
For me, I tend to throw on a stream in the background while I'm playing my games. I don't think I sit and actively 'watch' a stream if you understand me.
Yeah, EA make too much money off it for it to go away, unless there's some legal ruling they can't loophole their way around. But if that happens I wonder if they'll still bother with FUT as a game mode.If you think P2W is going away I think you're in for a shock. Maybe, just maybe, they get rid of "packs" due to the randomness of the reward and the link to gambling. If they do they'll replace it with a straight up market where you either buy coins or tokens that allow you to directly purchase the player you want.
I was 5-9 at 11pm last night after an awful Friday - managed to pull it back to 14-10 by 1am and called it a night, thank god it’s a bank holiday
I know it’s been said before but gameplay responsiveness makes such a big difference
100%
I generally avoid Fridays as post 6pm the game feels sluggish and if your game revolves around other aspects then 5atb and spam triangle then you are in trouble.
I managed to get 14 wins with 4 games to spare. Didn't have the will to play the remaining games.
Deffo - I play quite possession based but my players couldn’t even pass on Friday, even when they weren’t under any pressure. Not saying it would have been great for my opponents either but they just seemed to get the luck of the draw
My aim was Silver 1 last night which to be honest I thought was in doubt, so quite happy to get the 9 wins for gold 3
Looks like Son is my player this year, packed his HL when I started at Christmas and just packed his TOTS card in the 81+ 7 player pack from the championship league SBC
He's supposed to be unreal, enjoy.
Which SBC is this? I was just on and didn't see it.
Oh jeez, forgot they existed.League SBCs.
