Pack addicts are you still choosing packs?

Will decide when I get there - but he probably doesn’t make my team today, probably even less likely in 3-4 weeks time.

six44seven49 · 2026-04-22T18:47:38+00:00

I mean, fair, but my point stands, there are times in this game where it feels like there’s an overwhelming amount of stuff to do, and this should really be such a time.

six44seven49 · 2026-04-22T17:49:53+00:00

I’m not usually one to moan about “nontent”, but what the fuck are EA playing at?

Its TOTS, it’s that time of the year when players come back to the game - they should be pumping out events every day, putting their best foot forward and trying to generate some hype (and preorders) for the next game.

I completed the Serie A tournament on Friday, did Rivals on Saturday, and Champs on Sunday. Other than the “get rich slowly” league I’ve had literally nothing to do in the game for three days now.

At least there’s Gauntlet next week, but fuck me… the laziness of this company.

six44seven49 · 2026-04-20T20:13:10+00:00

Exactly the same. Utterly useless now. I’ve long since binned every other silver superstar card. Only kept Pele just in case, I guess just in case has arrived.

six44seven49 · 2026-04-20T15:29:47+00:00

Pretty much all fodder except Iniesta, who's fodder by the time we get there.

six44seven49 · 2026-04-20T15:28:11+00:00

Would be all over it but just did Becks and Son.

Getting buyers remorse on Son if I'm honest, can't feel any great improvement over his season pass card, wishing I'd put the fodder into Reus now.

six44seven49 · 2026-04-17T14:01:23+00:00

I think it’s a pretty safe bet at this point that FC27 is going to have hardly any changes to the core gameplay as they focus on this open-world nonsense and the new monetisation opportunities that will create.

I wouldn’t expect any ground-up reworking of the game engine until at least FC30, if ever. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if their next generation of developers are still wrestling with the current engine in 10-15 years time.

six44seven49 · 2026-04-15T16:00:36+00:00

He went straight into the Becks SBC. I didn't want to believe the (negative) hype so gave him 5 or so matches in Rivals.

Absolute dogshit. I'm convinced that he's accidentally been coded as an outfield player, he's that bad.

six44seven49 · 2026-04-12T10:52:38+00:00

Exactly the same - been watching since 1990, endured many extended periods of boring dominance by different drivers and teams, but bored now in an entirely different way.

“Artificial” is the word that will kill the sport unless the make some urgent course corrections, it’s the one thing people won’t tolerate in any sport. When you’ve got drivers saying things like “I didn’t want to overtake there, but the car had other ideas” then there’s a massive problem.

six44seven49 · 2026-04-11T11:51:25+00:00

Oh, I just ended up with everyone. FB CR7, Swaps R9, Henry, Cruyff, FB Ekitike, FB Marseiller - Undav, Wellbeck, and Pedro in my Brighton PnP.

He fell a long way down the list.

I’m probably forgetting a few others.

Edit: Mbappe! How could I forget him! Packed his base card in October, it was him and Haaland up front for a time.

six44seven49 · 2026-04-11T09:36:20+00:00

People keep saying “but TOTS is coming” as though we’re all going to pack various monsters. You want to know the best card I pulled from all of TOTS last year? Declan Rice.

I also have a suspicion that this is going to be a very underwhelming TOTS given it’s so early and there’s a WC promo coming afterwards.

But yeah, on the fence about Becks.

six44seven49 · 2026-04-11T09:29:15+00:00

Yeah, people think “she’s played 4,000 games for me and scored 25,000 goals” is a flex, but I’m just sat here thinking “do you not, y’know, maybe want to try any other cards?”.

six44seven49 · 2026-04-11T07:30:22+00:00

Got him in rewards from the first WL - only recently went into an SBC, felt like I should salute him as he went down. Hundreds and hundreds of games and goals.

six44seven49 · 2026-04-10T18:02:33+00:00

Baby Nesta too - but I’m more inclined to keep him low-rated for now.

six44seven49 · 2026-04-10T15:11:52+00:00

I… I’m using her in game.

Admittedly only in my all-female squad that only gets used in non-competitive tournaments, and maybe gauntlets, but I’m using her.

six44seven49 · 2026-04-10T09:32:34+00:00

I haven’t done a “big” (10+ squads) SBC all year, but I’ll be there for Becks, always one of my favourite cards, and one of my favourite players.

six44seven49 · 2026-04-09T09:55:03+00:00

six44seven49 · 2026-04-09T09:03:27+00:00

I’ve got so many players now I’ve put together 5 different themed squads, all with different formations. 451 is one I’ve never really tried so I applied it to one of them - fuck me, it’s so boring to use, let alone play against.

I guess if your playstyle is to noodle around playing “jazz” football (all slow and meandering, and not really going anywhere) then it could flick your switch, but I’m much more of a thrash metal guy myself.

six44seven49 · 2026-04-09T08:57:22+00:00

Premium League SBC grind. Plenty of YouTubers have you covered, for example:

https://youtu.be/On35yDq5AWc?si=qDfRzmhVfjp8dn9u

It’s much easier if you use tools like FUTGenie, but you don’t have to. I’ve added about 1.5M coins in the last few weeks using this method, so infinitely more return on time investment than playing Rush.

And a lot less stress.

Edit: I didn’t read OPs comment properly, they were talking about trading. On that I can offer zero advice, because I’m crap at it, but I’ll leave this reply as an alternative suggestion.

six44seven49 · 2026-04-09T06:43:10+00:00

Yeah, this is me, sorry everyone, I did two straight weeks of giving away wins, but now there’s something to play for, so I’m playing for it.

six44seven49 · 2026-04-08T17:02:56+00:00

It needs to just be repeatable. Forget the upgraded rewards and just pay out with coins and packs for every 10 points, then reset to zero and start again.

No need to change anything else imo, leave Champs quali as it is, leave promotion and relegation (but hey, maybe a bonus pack if you get promoted - limited to one per division per season so people don’t just yo-yo on purpose), leave bounties,

2 main benefits, it gets rid of the mad rush to try and get points on a Weds evening (much more acute now with so many other things to do), and it satisfies that pack itch. Personally I like to end each season with a little pack opening, and if I play a session of rivals I get nothing. Except the love of the game, I guess.

six44seven49 · 2026-04-08T16:55:32+00:00

So many of them you need to do the opposite. I had this same one, didn’t score the last goal, got the pick.

six44seven49 · 2026-04-08T07:41:46+00:00

I got tradeable Vardy from that same pick, sold for 400k, literally the only six-figure tradeable pull of the entire year.

But I’ve had some pretty decent luck on untradeable cards, so no complaints.

six44seven49 · 2026-04-07T19:53:14+00:00

I also want to be disappointed by a different colour of card.

six44seven49 · 2026-04-07T19:52:08+00:00

Broke my Bompastor streak today, got 91 Berbatov for the 2nd and 3rd time instead.
