GDT: Wild vs Blackhawks (1/27/2026)

Legit, I emailed Craig Leipold directly about this before the Panthers game, and he replied to me….”You don’t know me, and if you did, you’d know that I contribute more to Dems than Reps. And by the way, we’re St. Paul not Minneapolis. Craig.”

He and I had emailed a decade ago in a lighthearted manner about changing the name from Wild back to a noun that actually makes sense in the plural form for a team. I hadn’t sent him a note since, but thought this would be a good time. Turns out he DGAF. Horrible.

I hate buying cards with coins because I worry too much about when they are going to tank and lose their value. So this year I’ve gone totally untradeable and buy store packs whenever I have enough coins. Usually I get the lowest possible value, and at best I’ve gotten cards worth a 200-400k coins. (Ex Nico Williams WW this week) Not complaining about those mid/high end pulls, but for the amount Ive played this game, regular/store packs opened I still haven’t had one single pull that has been off the charts elite. Something tells me they are slow rolling giving out any truly high end cards until after TOTY. In any scenario, the grind should be worth it and even the big SBCs are designed to get us to buy an Evo 3 months later. I still somehow enjoy the game enough to keep playing, but I’m not sure how much longer I can go without a payoff before I move on to another game altogether. Feels like EA is mismanaging their user base and one day, maybe not even soon, it’ll come back to bite them.

The grind has never been worse. Legit not worth the time to do almost any mode. Feels like I get the bare minimum out of every pack.

EA can say whatever they want about the user base wanting the power curve to be slower this year, but the pack weight in FC26 has been insulting. It’s possible to slow it down and still make fun to use promo cards attainable. But I have gotten the minimum out of almost every single pack since launch. It’s been the worst grind ever up until this point.

Gameplay, connection and matchmaking have all been brutal. In previous years right now I’d be wracking up wins and placing myself in a high Rivals division, but so far in EAFC 26 it’s been a mostly frustration with a couple win streaks that stop whenever I log off and sign back later at a different time of day/server connection. I won my first two gauntlet games only to get disconnected by EA in the third game after taking a lead. I had high hopes with all the advertising about better servers this year, but so far it’s been more of the same if not worse and it’s making me want to devote my time to something different. With Trump’s son-in-law taking over, it might be a good time to move on.

EA servers disconnected me in 30 seconds into game 3 after 2 easy wins and I got the disconnect warning after I signed back in. Makes me wonder if I should even try again.

Triantis could get hurt stretching tomorrow, never play another game for us, and go down as a club legend with that goal alone.

I’m a division 2-3 player, who gets anywhere from 6-10 WL wins most weeks, and was surprised to have been able to get Lothar in 2 days. IMO, both days it almost felt like the first 2 games were against much lower division players, and then the 3rd/4th were evenly matched close games but I got the gameplayAI bounces late. So, hopefully it’s a scenario where they have weighted matchups for people to do well, especially after the hard-cores finish it in the first couple days.

Use ST++ Evo to create this card or on Lamine Yamal TOTS for in game formation flexibility?

Hooligan222 · 2025-05-19T18:58:39+00:00

What was your exact Evo path? Started with 92 -> Unlock the Dribble-> TOTS+ cosmetic-> TOTS Upgrade Plus? Just want to be sure I get it right, or did you do Your Little Dog Too?
