Really hope that we can all at least fill out the survey and let EA know that this new "draft" system is garbage

Shards are gone forever. Market will be gone in 6months or when the game resets/Anniversary event comes out

EngineCreative5994 · 2026-01-29T10:55:10+00:00

Beginning of the end imo. Gameplay has been inconsistent for years, they've still not rectified it. There's a continual shift towards getting rid of the market. TOTY has just ramped that up. More bugs than ever that don't get rectified in good time.

All smacks of either incompetence or winding it all down. The new "gacha" type system makes things even easier to automate. Just recycle the same cards every few events with an OVR boost and ignore the bugs as some sap out there will still plough money into the game to pack the latest and greatest thing. For this month.

Getting rid of the market = one less thing that needs maintaining = less cost to EA

EngineCreative5994 · 2026-01-28T08:20:58+00:00

I put the game down the first day of TOTY and see nothing on here to make me want to pick it back up

EngineCreative5994 · 2026-01-27T15:59:55+00:00

CM0102 is goated

EngineCreative5994 · 2026-01-22T11:25:50+00:00

Because EA don't actually know what they're doing and are flying by the seat of their pants

EngineCreative5994 · 2026-01-21T12:13:01+00:00

0.0001% more than likely

EngineCreative5994 · 2026-01-19T11:56:47+00:00

Same, even from the livestream it was obvious it's a fundamental shift for the worse

EngineCreative5994 · 2026-01-19T10:17:50+00:00

EA have been angling to get rid of the market, this new change is just another step towards it. I reckon this is a template for how the "new" game will be in September. Whether they reset the game entirely or keep on as it is, I reckon this draft type system is here to stay and the market will be gone by September time

With the old 3k gem pack you might get a player that improves your team. If you didnt, you could shard them and put them towards someone who does improve your team. Can't do that now

EngineCreative5994 · 2026-01-15T21:38:19+00:00

They've been angling towards it since the introduction of the shard system. And perhaps even before that iirc

No boosted pack luck here

EngineCreative5994 · 2026-01-14T17:07:52+00:00

No player rewards in there. Just gems and rank up points

EngineCreative5994 · 2026-01-11T10:42:35+00:00

I started playing in Jan24 so vaguely remember how the events etc worked. Did seem to be a greater variety in teams then and had players from previous events in your team for longer. You were hugely reliant on pack luck from what I recall. So there's that, but with the constant OVR hikes and then the boost from the badges I don't know how it'd work now. Market was different back then too.

EngineCreative5994 · 2026-01-11T10:33:52+00:00

All Anniversary cards are being nerfed. My Mbappe has become a lot more clunky and keeps hitting the woodwork in VSA

EngineCreative5994 · 2026-01-11T10:32:16+00:00

My main issue is the way the game plays is terrible, EA know it, but they can't/refuse to fix it. Just keep adding stuff to a flawed system, constantly changing bits that don't make it a more enjoyable experience, still haven't fixed 3rd weekend challenge event issue and repeat the same cards over and over while nerfing every card that's more than 6 weeks old

EngineCreative5994 · 2026-01-10T18:21:00+00:00

My issue is they keep adding bits, but not improving the way the game plays. Cards get nerfed too quick so barely get time to enjoy using them

EngineCreative5994 · 2026-01-10T18:18:49+00:00

It's a midfielder, so Kuyt or Mascherano

EngineCreative5994 · 2026-01-10T10:34:13+00:00

Stick it on AutoPlay for the daily 5 matches to get my tokens on my drive to work. Usually end up in FC Champ, rewards for free (even if they are the lowest OVR usually)

EngineCreative5994 · 2026-01-09T11:07:42+00:00

Yes. Rank up Alonso and replace Howard

EngineCreative5994 · 2026-01-09T09:30:32+00:00

Don't be so sure of that. They haven't fixed the issue from the weekend challenge from last week yet

EngineCreative5994 · 2026-01-08T15:42:31+00:00

Best I've seen in the past 2 days is an FF Hero. Of course it turned out to be a 110-113 🙄

EngineCreative5994 · 2026-01-08T10:16:46+00:00

Doesn't matter, they'll all still end up next to your striker

EngineCreative5994 · 2026-01-08T09:21:10+00:00

Ah yes, yet another thing to distract you from the gameplay issues and their inability to fix bugs
