EA Just COOKED with the NEW FC 25 Update!

[@hughjanus7803]

Younger me would have loved this but unfortunately as someone who can only get on for an hour or so after work on occasions and the odd weekend i think there is no point me getting the game this year.

[@justwilky7368]

Similar. I don't get much time on a weekend so it was mainly rivals and squad battles for me. I wasn't buying until I saw the gameplay which EA have so far hidden away but will skip it as squad battles isn't worth it and 15 wins in rivals will be a full time job lol

[@umpalumpa-qw8ru]

@@justwilky7368 You need 15 wins. Let's say you're in the right division and win 50% of the games (you're gonna need less, but let's say 30). You got one week for that, thats ~4 games per day. 4 games take a bit over an hour. So no, it's not a full time job. It's an hour per day you gotta play to get the rewards.

EA should create a Europa League type competition for those who won’t qualify to Champs

[@EccentricMeat]

It's called Rivals. They boosted the rewards there as well. Or Squad Battles, where they dropped the games you need to play down from 32 to 14. Plenty of ways to play outside of champs.

Skill should be rewarded. But so should the time you spend. And a really good player can dip in and out, and have great rewards. Whilst an average player will have to grind for days, and still have nothing close to that. I feel time should be rewarded as well. Not just "well, if you are shit, and want good things - there is the store".

[@justwilky7368]

They have added frustration and fomo to drive people to the store. Just call it how it is. They know that is the casuals that spend the most money. Made it harder for them to qualify. Many will go to the shop. It's clever really.

[@EccentricMeat]

There has literally never been LESS reason to buy packs. Objectives, Evos, weekly upgrade SBCs, Rivals rewards now massively boosted, WL rewards massively boosted, Squad Battles only needing 14 games instead of 32. If you open packs in FC 25 you need help for your gambling addiction.

[@jariharjula8824]

Play rivals or sb games for not to sweat

[@pdxpashun]

It's good that EA are rewarding players more but my biggest concern with menus is the fact that the power curve has moved up way too fast in the last couple of years, and seeing the rewards that are available after just one week tells you that the problem is going to be getting even worse this year. People having teams filled with special cards after the first month is not how it should be. I'm tired of going into champs in November/December and seeing cards like POTM Mbappe and Eusebio in half of people's teams. Nowadays every reward is essentially a fodder pack that you put into a gamble sbc like an icon pick, or a big player sbc that you see everyone in champs have.

[@Sarqn]

Tbh it’s a duality. On one hand, I fully agree with you that it’s to much and especially those top tier cards. The magic of packing a good card is gone, after a month it’s already outdated. But on the other hand with fifa 24 I could play a full Dutch team that is competitive. At the end I didn’t play a lot but if i would I could have got a full team of 99 players. Except the goalie.

[@anthonytsigonias]

Qualify first, then we can talk about getting those high tier rewards. I dont think you understand how there will be no more casuals, no bad players, no gifted wins or anything like that in WL anymore. Just sweats, pros and mega rats. So those rewards will be limited really, as most people will not be getting higher than rank 5-6

[@sabretas]

BIG L, just EA thinking they will milk some money from the casuals trying to keep up with the power curve. Going from 40% to 60% wins to qualify is crazy when you half the games played as servers are always trash and one game crash/server dies = 20% gone..... also 15 wins for rivals = yikes

[@Uuuung]

The best players in the game will be very hard for the casual to obtain because of the price they will get, and EA know that = More players buying store packs. Hate it

[@jacobjones3441]

The SP for other game modes just funnels people in to ultimate team (if people didn't play it before) and then to the store. This is literally just to boost the store yet again Edit: thinking about the 15 wins for rivals, if a season is 6 weeks then 6x15=90 and brings us back to the 100 milestones season rewards. There's definitely something with the underlying numbers that fit EAs engagement targets. They frame it like they make changes for the 'community', it's definitely all to suit their agenda

Honestly it’s dissatisfying hearing the news about squad battles, I’ve never really been “competitive “ on this game and I always just liked to get home and play a few games to earn decent rewards. Hopefully as we progress thru the game they will upgrade or boost the rewards, last thing I wanna do when I get home from work is come home to play against people just exploiting game mechanics. Thats just my take, everyone plays this game differently like you mentioned…

So, Nate please do the following: transfer the tradable WL rewards into coins. I think rank 1 will give you 400k per week, which is close to 2 million in a month! Rank 2 rewards might add up to 800k coins a month. How can casuals compete here? Then 3/5 win to qualify. This will immediately kill the motivation for casuals. And prices for players will be inflated….not sure you understood the implications. Oh forgot, just get better….this is BS as getting better is not falling from the sky.

[@leegooding4155]

I posted a similar reply on another streamers site and it got removed, the basics are, no matter how you dress it up or serve it is, the vast majority of players are casual lower divison players, thats their market, they know top players in the elite division are always going to get wins and rewards. They need these players (who a lot of them stream) to drive the gap even bigger. Its very basic supply and demand, at first streamers will be posted 4 or more videos a day boosting of big wins and rewards, especially now as they can get matched with ANY player from any division. That drives the majority to get frustrated and turn to the store in the believe that a few better players will get them qualified for Futchamps, it won't, the cycle will start again. The people will fall for it in numbers unfortunately, pack weight will be poor and price per pack will go up. Just a thought, IF this was such great news why publish a week before the game is released, this would of been agreed way back and programmed into the game. Basic economics, it's not COOKED it's manipulation of their core market of consumers packaged up with a bow.

I don't think these changes sound good at all, to be honest. I would accept that rewards in Champs weren't good enough - but these changes just make it pretty much inaccessible for 90% of the player base (yes, really). Champs is going to feel like you're playing a DIV 1 rivals player, or better, every single game. Even 6 wins is going to be a slog - and by then it's not worth it. No thanks. I don't really understand the cross over with other modes - I have no desire to play player-career and absolutely no interest in clubs. Add to that - you now need double the number of wins in rivals, so that game mode feels a bit dead now as well. I get it - people like content creators who live on this game saying this is great - for people who have maybe 5-6 hours a week to play, this ain't that hype mate.

[@craigosborne9137]

I normally manage to qualify easily with 4 wins from 10 games. They had it at a 5 game win 3 2 years ago and changes to 10. It was easy enough to manage 2 wins but the 3rd from 5 games was very difficult. The game play seemed to change, the strikers were off target more often than not and the defenders were like running through treacle and the midfielders would make stupid passes with not enough pace. I fully understand reducing the number of games to save on time and make it more engaging for players but I feel it will be very hard to to qualify again. When it's been 4 wins from 10 there were no issues and during actual champs it was always 9 wins without fail then the same gameplay issues would occur. I will never protest to be an amazing player, maybe slightly above average at a push. The gameplay mechanics seem to be constantly dynamic and at times very difficult to manage.

Def waiting for Black Friday to see how this pans out. May take the whole year off. If it ends up being a banger it’s worth getting it for 15-20 bucks (fc24 was so cheap that time last year lol) and gaming sharing it with my buddy for half price. So many changes to gameplay, tactics, UT, there will be major issues at the start in my opinion.

[@gavinleonard6430]

Im worried for this Champs match making. Im currently a 14 to 18 win player depending on if im sweating or chilling. I currently most weeks can comforably get to around 8-0 before matchmaking gets really tough. Its worrying if your guna be facing that level of opposition from game 1 in Ea fc 25

[@m42796]

Whether this is good or bad really depends on how viable the other game modes are. If there's nothing rewarding but casual then this sucks. If there's lots of other stuff to do and this can be fenced off as the sweaty mode then I like this

[@Compulse100]

No I disagree these changes are over cooked, these changes might be good if you're a KZbinr that does this for a job but EA just killed the casual player my prediction is this game will expire quicker than milk

[@elcazando5614]

Yeah defo not for me. Looks like I won't be playing Champs again this year. As long as rewards are better elsewhere also then fine

[@notificare.]

Casual player here. Played first fifa online in july 2024. At the end of the cycle september first . I managed to get all 99 rated cards even the goalie. Why so much hype? You need so much to be first having a meta card?! Where is the fun just for playing the game? It s like the buddies comenting "first" on new video posts. Nobody cares about that.

[@fatal0720]

This is the best change we've had since fifa 17. theres actually a reason to grind and be good at the game. If the gameplay is good (or better than 24) we're up for one of the best fifas. Very hyped for friday.

[@alinemiliansas]

Everyone is talking about the pitch notes, I really thought you would talk about the impact on the market as well, now with the influx of coins and tradeable packs as rewards, both the demand and the supply of mid to higher level players will increase in a week or two which could mean that the lower/mid rated meta players should be a bit cheaper, especially 82 to 86s. Also now that the web app is on 19th, how the trading strategy would change?

[@Yhappp]

The time zone thing doesn’t work the game has been worldwide release for a couple years now, I believe once it’s 12am in California the whole world can play

You have just confirmed that EA have completely ruined the game for 95 percent of players. Its the last time i buy into this game. How many people who play this game can win four games out of ten never mind fifteen this a real spoiler. I wont be spending another penny on this game.

i am only going to play this becuse UFL last minute pushed the release to 5th December. so will try it out for 3 month and than move on to UFL

[@matoplays3484]

I feel like these changes will turn off casuals from playing or even buying the game. I don't mind pros and good players being rewarded but those rewards will leave casuals and also people who can't get them in the dirt.

[@Uuuung]

WL not worth playing if you not get 9 wins or more out of 15 games. From 8 wins to 2 the rewards is not worth it

[@Tizzzieee]

Can I still cancel my pre order?

[@Lef8257]

I think so im not sure btw don't blame you, glad I didn't buy the game after these changes

[@MrProGhosted]

If you’re not a content creator.. please help me to understand why you buy this game when there’s only gold cards? When we all have full meta teams on fc24. I paid £15 for fc24 in feb and played from then I will be doing the same again.

[@ededdeddyeddd5888]

I usually play one year and skip next for the reason u just said. I don’t feel starting from bottom 0 with gold Isak after I have team stacked with Mbappes Ronaldos and Messis

[@PeterRettrup]

I can’t believe it’s controversial to want better rewards for being (very) good at the game. 5-6 years ago it was so much more rewarding to finish higher in WL, and EA are now finally somewhat going back to that. With how EA has structured this game, you don’t even need to play WL to get a great team, so I think it’s fair that the most competitive mode (which it hasn’t been for the last few years) gives out better rewards for better players. Last year especially there was no incentive to improve, because the difference between the highest ranks in WL weren’t that big. Hopefully this gives more of an incentive for players (including me) to improve. I do agree that there should be a more casual mode (like seasons), because rivals will most likely still be a sweat fest as well. So hopefully Rush is also a good addition and friendlies might actually be less sweaty with the new system.

[@stefanvanderlinden9746]

I 100% agree top players should get great rewards, but 84x10s and 85x10s at the start of the game is just silly, 5-6 years ago an end game team sometimes still had gold cards in it, now people are gonna have full specials teams a few weeks in

In FC 24, I played futchamp twice because i struggled winning, the highest win was 8 matches , yet I packed all the best players but with FC25 and these changes, I think I will be relegated to squad battle and division rival, EA went overdrive with these changes.😅

All there doing is routing out the casual players which is nice of ea sports always screwing sme1

[@dinou9000]

Let me ask something about Rivals. You said draw is counted as 1 point and if you need 45 points for upgrades rewards it s not esential to make 15 wins you can also have some draws . So the draw game is not a waste of time or if you have 3 rage quits it a like a win. Not the bad . Right guys or I understand wrong ?

[@Ducks23]

No it’s a lot more of a time commitment. Draws are not as common as wins or losses in my history of playing. You get nothing for quitting. 3 draws is like 1 win so it takes 3x the time to get the same amount a points if you’re drawing a lot. I have a 70% win rate in my time playing fut. instead of playing 10-12 on avg to complete my week for 7 wins, it will take on avg 20 games to get 14 wins and I would need 3/6 draws in my non wins to complete a week.

[@Boomballatty]

I was really excited for this game to release... then I watched this video. As someone that HATES online gameplay, I'm regretting pre-ordering this game.

[@baskbwiz-ri6rw]

For friendly matches the whole having to play the entire game to get the loss will be bad for everyone. Because guess what, if I am down 3-0 in the first 5 minutes of the match I can't quit because it won't count as a loss. So we will both be there suffering for a whole match. No more rage quits in any game mode because it doesn't help the lesser skilled player. Get ready to play full matches on all modes in the game.

The game was always gonna get worse in terms of monetisation and it won’t stop until the money drops but it’ll be too late by then.
