How Ultimate Team Destroyed The FIFA Game Franchise

[@phatmemer69]

Correction - At 4:32 I accidently included the logo of (Futtrading) with 2 FIFA Coin selling websites. This is a mistake, they (Futtrading) actually teach people how to trade on the FIFA transfer market and do NOT sell coins. Appreciate Futtrading for reaching out to me to correct me.

[@dublumlum]

FIFA content creation no longer became about playing the actual game. It became about going through menus.

[@cathallynn2594]

What’s the scene like now I haven’t played the game since fifa 18 really. What’s changed? The thing was Fifa had the capacity to make to make the game so good but never fixed the flaws with the slow gameplay

[@Vert-.]

@@cathallynn2594 it’s horrible bro. I’m not amazing at fifa but I’m good enough for div 1 each year, yet each year it progressively gets harder imo. It’s so meta oriented now that it’s not fun to play, as soon as people get the early access and are able to buy fifa points it just becomes pay to win really. I put about £100 over a couple of months and had a decent ultimate team. Took a break for a few weeks to work but bc of the Promo’s every couple of weeks I came back to a now dated and pretty shit team that I had to actually spend money on to get. silly mechanics like the ‘rb’ dribbling and people using certain formations with custom tactics for the sole purpose of making the game as frustrating for the other player, not even any fun in the game any more. Maybe im just getting old

Hit the nail on the head. When FIFA first came out (and I'm talking FIFA International and FIFA 95 days), I couldn't get enough of it for the first few years. I stopped playing and tried to get back into the scene around 2015, but couldn't. It looked good, but it was already getting too complex. I tried to get back into again in 2020, but found myself messing about in the menus and not learning how to play the game. I'm 38 now, and I find this the problem with many modern games, they look good, but everything is geared towards strategy and menu's and story telling, that half the time I can't even be bothered to get into the gameplay anymore.

could argue that the excessive special cards killed fut way more than coins trading

[@jonathanjoos2284]

But then again, the 88 and 87 rated players will become more desired. Would still be the same thing. They should just cut with the microtransactions and make it more rewarding by having only coins. Sadly, they will never do that.

One year I paid about £80 for the new Fifa game with all the extra stuff like getting to play sooner and so on. Then over the year, I would spend between 20-60 on points each month and it didnt seem like a big deal because it didnt look like I had spent much of my wages. Then in June the next year I realised I must've spent about 500-700 quid that year on Fifa and I had nothing to show for it, my team was just the same as everyone elses, even people who didnt pay for any points. Then a new fifa was announced and my team was left behind. Fifa ultimate team is a trap, you pay 80 quid for a very similar game each year and the temptation to spend extra for worthless packs is massive. I havent bought the new games since then and I dont intend to any time soon.

But endless rewards killed the achievement of getting a special kind of player.

[@ryanbhadain5867]

Why not just play online with the normal online co op with the full teams ? I did not even know that another way of playing existed.

10:14 wtf was that noise 🤣

[@jacksilverbackharper]

Surely the best option is to make fut its own game separate from those who actually want a great manager mode

[@DHAIVAT-ALLCAPSWHENSPELLED]

The goated Wee2s and JJ era 🙏🏽🥲🥲

Fifa Menu Ultimate team, I remember sitting there for hours on the menu just buying and selling making coins not even playing the game .... shit was addictive

I don´t know if this comment will get read or not but I feel it adds another layer to this video (probably gonna be a long comment as well) I used to make FIFA content on twitter (in spanish). I started off in 2019 and left in 2021, and I built a decent community of around 12k people. And let me tell you something, the DIFFERENCE between those two periods was HUGE. When I started, content creators cared about the game, they would make content for fun, and although coin selling pages and this type of things existed, creators neither cared too much about them nor made those things their main source of income Now, pretty much every creator has AT LEAST one of the following - A connection with a coin selling page where they get a commission for every sell the page gets - A premium discord server where they charge people generally for trading tips to make coins in the game (And of course, half of those creators either don´t know how to make coins for themselves or just steal content from other servers) - Also discord servers (and pages) where they (and a few more people) charge players for playing their FUT Champs or objectives games (charging from 20 dollars to as much as 150 for as little as ONE weekend league) - Nowadays they also started having their own coin selling pages (again, you are paying at least 6 dollars for 100k and honestly if you are going down the buying coins route, you are at least going to buy a million -> 60 dollars which is pretty much what the full game costs) And there´s twitter creators with something like 500k followers. Just take a second and imagine how much money THEY are making, let alone EA (their number is so stupid at this point that I don´t even want to think about it. For reference just think for a moment how many packs they sell in a lightning round and multiply that by how much a pack cost) The worst part is that they make this money mainly off of little kids who just spend their parents money And I´m not gonna be an hypocrite here. Back then in 2021, I was as close as you can get from having a discord server with a few lads where we would play people their games in FUT Champs and objectives and also give a few tips about the game in general (I was never good at trading to help people with that). And at the end I didn´t do it for two reasons. 1) (and probably the main reason) I didn´t have the balls to do it and 2) Every time I thought about a little kid paying me to play his games as much as he paid for the full game, I just couldn´t, I wasn´t able to do that. It´s just an obscene amount of money that as an argentine who knows how much that amount of dollars represents in our currency couldn´t have slept doing that. Sure, had I started that server, I would have probably forgotten about my morals after 4 or 5 clients, but now in hindsight I am happy I didn´t do it One final thing, there were also a lot of respectable creators who just weren´t out there trying to scam people. But they were the minority, and with how much FIFA now costs (in time, money and mental health) they are just becoming extinct. TLDR; The story of ABSURD amount of money made not only by EA but CONTENT CREATORS in twitter (by a guy who was a creator)

[@ThisIsFootballGaming]

Really interesting to a guy like me who had his head buried offline in the Career Mode sand all those years. It's a different world. FUT consumed the series, completely distracting efforts from the gameplay which has regressed significantly in the kast five years.

[@carlkermode899]

Ruined by greed the same way as anything else.

[@wazar4501]

Amazing video, good perspective and informative

[@Nikolaos0603]

I only did Ultimate Team for like three or four matches on FIFA 12 and that was it. Every year I would play FIFA traditionally. Just pop in the disc and play for hours. Thank God I never played Ultimate Team like that because I would’ve lost my goddamn mind.

[@aw7153]

To EA Ultimate team is probably they’re biggest success in the Fifa franchise

[@captainfalconmain6576]

and it’s awful

[@ashleyw6728]

Side rant, I've never understood how rich people can brag about paying less tax but then complain when the NHS isn't getting as much money as it deserves

[@Plupert]

I was gambling with Fut Galaxy at the age of 15. The game is even worse now that it’s pretty much entirely PTW. There used to be ways to make coins without having to rely on luck or being good at the game. Now all those methods are gone in favor of “store packs” I remember back when 100k packs were a rare thing and now they’re there literally daily and they have 500k packs now.

[@smolmemes2351]

It was pay to win from the moment they introduced FUT lmao.. its crazy how nobody sees this

[@Plupert]

@@smolmemes2351 Oh of course. But now it's way worse because every non PTW method of making coins has been made obselete. You either have to have god tier luck, or no life the game.

[@dazzaMusic]

It’s funny how the sidemen have nothing to do with fifa anymore despite it being the reason all of them are famous.

[@yxngakx8261]

Fifa 10 will forever be my favourite, felt amazing for the time, career mode might be the best. Ultimate team wasn’t to popular. Ultimate team was actually fun back then but still ultimate team is the worst idea ea ever made, it’s fun but when you look at it it’s really just a massive money grab. Back then it wasn’t as there was 3/4 promos in total. Now there’s 3 in the 1st 3 weeks??
