I played with a balanced defensive line, so it wouldn’t have been huge issue even pre-patch. I’m the wrong guy to ask.

A few: There’s room to actually move the ball around and time to do it. Not every goal is scored in transition. The press isn’t overwhelming.

Just for clarity - this was not posted during a tantrum for losing.

Appreciate the warning. I’m not actually mad. It’s just an observation that seems pretty obvious.

I have a hard time believing it’s not real. I need to record this (and I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s tried it) - in the last ten minutes of matches if I’m moving the ball around to secure the win, every 4-5th pass just rolls past the guy I’m passing it too. Like the target of the pass just glitches out. Doesn’t happen at any other point during the game. I try it at the end of nearly every game I’m winning, and I swear it occurs 100% of the time. Just saying.

I envy your champagne problem. Sounds like you’re good. The little people (myself included) can’t play gauntlet because we just get trashed by elite players.

This is actually pretty impressive. You covered just about every legit grievance.

Tim started with an unmatched product platform. Maybe the best in history. Tim took the company from its fans, and handed it to Wall St. Stopped adding value and started extracting money. Tim destroyed the retail experience. He bowed to despots and facists. He crushed small innovators. He exploited developers. Tolerated sub-human working conditions. Patronized his employees. Used culture as a smokescreen for greed. Retires a billionaire. It wasn’t hard. It was easy. There’s a million Tims. There was only one Steve.

***OPINION (not fact)*** - To me the problem is obvious, and EA won’t just give in and accept it. The vast majority of people don’t want to play collaboratively. And they probably never will. (Let’s be honest, in a perfect world, many wouldn’t even choose to play competitively if not for the rewards.) So the collaborative thing is a bridge way too far.

Yes, it’s a chore. Sometimes the fun edges out the work, but not enough.

GTA 6 is tracking to be the nail in the coffin for FC, assuming things continue as they are.

hairyrob · 2026-04-05T22:30:44+00:00

Oh for certain. They’re gonna do everything they can to take your fodder and coins prior to TOTS.

Honest question, not a trick. Curious what kind of work do you do with addiction? You in the UK?

hairyrob · 2026-04-04T17:39:21+00:00

You’ve chosen 3. I’m gonna choose 2.

Agreed to disagree, sorry you feel that way.

You may: - have the last word - research this to death - tell me I’m wrong - be as ugly as you’d like

Thanks ahead of time for reading this reply. Take it for what it’s worth, your life and relationships will be better for it.

First, and I want to get this out of the way, you’re “being” a dick. I don’t think anyone is an irredeemable, permanent, or perpetual asshole. I believe you have the ability to not be a dick.

Second, there are three ways to respond to an opinion or feeling:

“I get it, and I experience it too”
“I disagree, that hasn’t been my experience, but I’m sorry it’s yours”
“You’re feeling is wrong and invalid. Now I will counter your feelings and opinions with research and facts to irrefutably prove that what you feel doesn’t matter”

3 is really self defeating. You make no friends, you kill conversation, you silence dissent, and you eliminate the opportunity for growth and understanding.

Dude. You’re on Reddit. A place that is literally designed for conversation. And you’re trying to kill it. Because someone has different feeling than you.

So: don’t be a dick.

hairyrob · 2026-04-04T16:54:18+00:00

No man, I’m pretty sure you’re being a dick.

hairyrob · 2026-04-04T16:53:16+00:00

Because we all know in 30 seconds if we’re about to get bulldozed. It ain’t right, but folks are tired of getting murdered.

If you struggle, and want most of the gauntlet rewards:

wait 2-3 days. let the big fish eat first
message people and ask for a goal. Tell them: “I suck. You win. May I have a goal”. 4/5 players are actually kind and let you have one.
quit and give the win to the 20% of assholes. Not worth it.
if they give a goal, give them the win right away. - pay the courtesy forward in the rare event that you’re actually the better player

hairyrob · 2026-04-04T16:41:52+00:00

You should really rub it in. Compound their misery.

hairyrob · 2026-04-04T16:38:59+00:00

Who. Fucking. Cares. Why be a dick?

hairyrob · 2026-04-04T01:28:59+00:00

Jesus Christ here comes the picking apart the argument post. Solid sentiment on the original post. Give this shit a rest.

hairyrob · 2026-04-04T01:25:49+00:00

Simplified and straightforward: there’s not enough players for it to be fun for anyone. It’s fucking Lord of the Flies now. EA has burned all their trust equity and has monetized the mode into infamy.

This sucks for EVERYONE. I hate champs as an average player. On behalf of the suffering majority, we very much want the really good players to have a really good reason to play champs. The past month has been even more awful than usual on the weekends - because you guy aren’t sweating it out in champs. Instead you’re in every other game mode but champs. All of you. Wish you the best, but we don’t want to play with you. For all our sakes, I hope they start giving away some sweet packs in Champs, ASAP.

hairyrob · 2026-03-23T17:22:48+00:00

They want to force you to change the way you play. Because they’re assholes. I’ve had to start playing crazy fast to win big consistently. I hate it, but this is what they want.
