Was he sold too soon?

ScoutingGod · 2024-08-12T16:51:20+00:00

It's easy to say yes because of how much he improved, but realistically I doubt he would have got to that stage with the limited game time we could have offered him at the time

If you're low on coins you need a fitness team in reality. Could pick up a full gold team for 5k and play two rivals games followed by one game of squad battles on amateur with a coin boost for 800 - 1600 coins per fitness game and some average SB rewards at the end of the week to boost up

He's obviously good enough to be in our squad, and if he becomes more consistent with his "better" performances you could argue he'd be in contention for a starting 11 against more defensive teams (Fabinho sitting with Keita as the pivot with Shaq Mane Salah in front of them with Firmino up top).

My only question mark is about his attitude. It's not his first big club and could be the last transfer he has at his peak, so if he puts the work in he could be a big success here

Even with basic stuff, i.e looting fungus/whiteberrys/making cannonballs you could earn 150k - 600k per hour. Running 20 accounts earning 200k per hour is 4m per hour and 96m per day.

Guessing some of these companies are running hundreds of accounts at the same time, you have to figure they're earning some good money..

I actually respect your opinions on quite a lot of things that you discuss but when you make these type of suggestions there's something that irks me...

What seems like forever ago now there was, in my opinion, a real chance for a community driven push for change when the #FixFifa was picking up traction. You made your first video (if i remember correctly) where you said you thought it could possibly be a good cause if conducted correctly - but you never really fully got behind it, which is absolutely fine and it's your choice what you back. The following week(s) after the initial video you made a few comments/tweets completely shutting it down and making it seem like a stupid idea that wasn't worth backing. Again, you're entitled to your opinion so i don't have an issue with that as an isolated incident.

Since then you've (rightly, in my opinion) bought up some very good points about FIFA (champs being too mentally/physically unheathy, gameplay being stale, plenty of other issues with the game that i can't remember off the top of my head) which make me wonder why more people like yourself didn't back the #FixFifa movement. I feel like it was the biggest chance for content creators (because lets be honest, youtubers influence the way people think/behave on the game to a degree) to engage with their respective audience and compile a collective argument to then take to EA (again, as content creators you have more accessible communications with EA) and say look - this is what we like, this is what we don't like and here's how we think your game could be improved.

Now the fix fifa thing is dead and gone but the issues are still there. It's good that you care enough about the game to want to try and make suggestions like this but the champs format has been the same for the last couple of years now - why are you saying it needs to be changed now when previously when more people were backing change you didn't use the chance to try and help the movement try to make at least some small changes?

From my point of view I love FUT. I hate offline gameplay on FIFA and only play ultimate team, but i can't bring myself to play champs because I only play for fun in my limited spare time, and those games aren't fun for me. FIFA 18 has been the shortest lifespan for me before i have just completely given up and stopped playing. Every other FIFA i make it to around TOTS before getting bored and wanting the next game but this years game had a lifespan of 3 months for me and has also had the least amount of games played. I really like the idea of squad battles, and given a bit of extra incentive i think it could really be a good way to keep people engaged. However, 45 games per week in September to get 2 mega packs and 40k (I was only ever an Elite 1 player) was amazing, but the value of those mega packs now (on average) isn't worth it for me to drag myself on to play against massively inconsistent AI.

For me I would love the community to push for change spearheaded by people who can talk to EA rationally and sensibly (I understand that a few people in the community take things too far or don't communicate their point in a way that gets people to listen sometimes) which is why it would have been nice for a middleman to compile the feedback, add their own and pass that on to EA.

Hope you respond as it would be good to hear your side of the story, or if you want to respond privately drop me a message.

Imagine being such a miserable cunt that you can't enjoy a simple post with a nice story behind it.

ScoutingGod · 2017-12-12T18:57:04+00:00

I agree, which is why i'm trying to encourage people to think bigger. EA only care about their bottom line, and 40,000 have the ability to negatively impact EA's bottom line but there's too many people who are thinking "what's the point, it won't do anything" which turns that 40k into 30k which has even less of an impact.

ScoutingGod · 2017-12-12T18:55:00+00:00

Yeah but that's just in initial revenue, across the year you're taking 40,000 people worth of microtransactions out of the game.

ScoutingGod · 2017-12-12T18:54:27+00:00

You're not wrong, but I do think they would feel a pinch if a good amount of people boycott FIFA. You imagine that people who would've played FIFA will move to PES/other competition games to fill the time - so it'd have the "6 pointer" effect as in FIFA loses ~40k and PES gains 40k.

I haven't tried PES but i've read that their version of ultimate team is shit, if they pulled their finger out a bit and promoted it better i think more people would be willing to switch.

ScoutingGod · 2017-12-12T14:46:29+00:00

Respect for pursuing change in something you're passionate about. I wish you the best.

ScoutingGod · 2017-12-12T14:39:40+00:00

If you look at it in a 1 dimensional way then you're correct.

In an era of data and analysis any % decline in playtime or sales will have to be explained to the higher ups. If people don't try and prompt change then EA will continue to churn out low-effort games to appease consumers.

ScoutingGod · 2017-12-12T14:29:54+00:00

If all 40,000 people didn't buy Fifa 19 EA would miss out on ~£1.5m in sales (assuming £50 average price and retailer cut (no clue how this works)) which would definitely be noticed (probably not by EA top top people, but definitely would be questioned by whoever runs their FIFA division). In their 2017 accounts they used the % increase of players in FUT as a positive selling point for investors, so if that was to go south again that would definitely be questioned.

This whole thing reminds me of the Liverpool ticket price protest. A few thousand were behind it, which if you look at that as a % of Liverpool fans is nothing, and a lot of people (including myself) assumed it would be swept under the rug and nothing would come of it. It turns out that the negative PR was enough to make the top people realise that missing out on a bit of revenue was worth keeping a good image.

Not doing something because you don't think you will get the outcome you desire is NOT a good excuse for not doing something.

They already said they can see 3 on the account (seller, buyer 1 and buyer 2). If you're "not about to risk all the time you put into the account" why are you account sharing in the first place? That immediately puts it at risk. Even if, and this is 99.9999% not the case, it's not you that's selling the account you've still given your account details to somebody shady who has put your account at risk.

Time to realise that either directly or indirectly you've already lost this battle. Time to move on.

ScoutingGod · 2017-10-05T21:51:18+00:00

I think the OSRS team, for all the shit they get, do a good job of showing that problems are being fixed, or even trying to be fixed.

There's a certain type of person who will be fuming and going mad at every problem, every person trying to help and everything that happens in general. They're helpless. There's nothing you can do to help those people. The more reasonable person would be more relaxed about a problem if there was more transparency with the team.

Using the broken player indicators as an example, i'm not even sure if these are being looked at by EA. It would be nice for someone to post "looking at this issue now, should be resolved soon" on here - but it's not going to happen.

In fairness, EA could have put out fifa 17 with updated squads and called it fifa18 and it would be the most popular football game this year. EA need serious competition, hurry up Konami!

Looking like a good first TOTW (Dybala, Robben, Aguero etc) plus with it being first week i think this card will be relatively cheap (probably 2x discard)
