MAKE GOLD CARDS GREAT AGAIN

Hey guys,
Today is a small rant, something I want to see in the future for FIFA games: Making gold cards great again. In the past, you could use some OP gold cards until TOTS or even until the end of the game, but now you're done with most of them after the first week. I want to see a return of sweaty golds being able to compete with the best cards in the game

Back when packing an in-form actually meant something

[@Nefariousbig]

Because you never got any half decent pulls or specials at all. We absolutely do not want to go back to that

[@Nefariousbig]

@@PoPMichalpl9 how is it too much? You can now actually use varying special cards throughout the year, experience promos, join in on hype around competitions etc far far easier than you ever could. If you think you're getting too much just open less... don't ask for EA to be stingier ffs

[@DeezN1892]

[@arturoone77]

Back when In Forms meant something. I miss my Fifa 13 81 rated TIF Benitez and Fifa 15 80 rated SIF Chikhaoui. Obscure players, obscure leagues, had to link them up with silvers and you could WIN Div 1 WITHOUT swapping out the silvers. So much fun, it was mad. As an OG, I know fifa will never get back to those years. My most used team in FIFA 13 was a pro-league/brasilvers hybrid. For FIFA 15, it was a Russian League/Portuguese League hybrid with chikhaoui. Those times are long gone...

[@cachondo7672]

I never thought that a quote from ‘The Incredibles’ would sum up exactly what’s wrong with FIFA: “With everyone super, no one will be.” So many promo cards to where if everyone has a good team, no one will have a good team.

[@Aki-02]

New players never gonna now how overpowered trio Ibarbo, Gervinho and Doumbia was. What was even better it was like 10k and everyone was able to affrord it.

[@flyingaviator8158]

As a Roma fan I was here for it :D

[@manuelcorreasfernandez7451]

FIFA15 A.S. Roma was an absolute TITAN: Gervinho, Doumbia, Ibarbo, Nainggolan, Salah, Rudiger, Pjianic, Castán...

[@DagnalDiagonal]

Pjanic was a MONSTER back in the day

[@DSeljak]

I remember my old 84 rated MOTM Mandzukic, absolutely slapped for me... let alone his 88 rated TOTS card but also i loved my 74 rated Pletikosa in goal back in FIFA World if anyone remembers that :'), even though he was a silver he performed like a god i miss the old FUT days

[@DagnalDiagonal]

Brother, Mandzukic would be a killer for me. Not just in FIFA 14 but in others too

[@Kingdom425]

This is true that golds will never be at their best, but evolutions is a great addition that is similar. And I think next year it’ll be improved upon.

[@eldante4139]

Definitely Evolutions will be better next year. They’ll find out what worked and what doesn’t to tweak it all.

[@michaelboiteau9890]

Counter point to that is often when they have introduced something new the next game it would come out a bit worse. Like objectives slowly getting worse and so on. My point t is that there isn't a guarantee that next games evo will be better

[@FacTzZiiq]

It would be a big improvement if i dont have to play 10+ matches. Maybe on good and free ones but not on evo‘s where you have to pay w points or points

[@cachedreamer]

@@FacTzZiiq Why? If they make it so you simply have to pay for them to be upgraded then it is honestly no different from just buying a player like that off the market.

[@DagnalDiagonal]

Evolutions is absolutely a 10/10 idea. However, they similar issues with golds in that there isn't a more casual mode to use them in more consistently. You don't see evos too much in Champs or Rivals :/

[@zephyrus3554]

I just started playing fifa again after not playing since fifa 15 and I definitely noticed the promo overkill. Its non stop. Ive also packed way better cards than I ever used to in previous fifas.

[@gabsnandes7818]

[@derrickc3173]

Literally a new thing every week I absolutely hate it. I just don’t even pay attention anymore I get zero excitement when I see a new promo. I’m so happy to see people who share my point of view everywhere else it seems people hold the opposite view point

[@McLeaner99]

This is a complete list of the promos that in my opinion should be in FIFA. Ones to watch TOTY TOTS Euro/Copa America/WC/AFCON (depending on what's going on IRL during that release) Champions League/Libertadores cards MOTM's (remember when packing these were fun?) An emphasis on TOTW FUT Fantasy- You start with 75 or so rated versions of items, and for each goal contribution they have +1 ovr increase, +2 and +3's for other milestones. This way, these items aren't Insane until the end of the season, when TOTS is coming out anyway. These cards are risky, because if you pay a lot for a card in it's early stage, that player could get injured or fall out of form, and you've suddenly lost thousands on a card you thought would be a stud. Holiday SBC's of course. POTM's for respective leagues. I want an emphasis on real life performance. Enough of these weird 99 certain stats cards for players who haven't done anything IRL. The emphasis in FIFA should be on PLAYING THE GAME. This is not a pack opening or trading simulator, it is a Football simulator. In FIFA 14 if you won Division one you got like 15,000 coins lmfao, and people loved that game because it was fun and enjoyable. People hate this FIFA because you have to spend at least $300USD to be competitive not including the game purchase (which you need to do at release, if not it's even more you gotta spend). In FIFA 14 you could get the game at Christmas and after maybe a few days of playing build a legit competitive 41212 BPL or Bundesliga or Serie A team that could compete with Ronaldo's, Messi's etc. Those were the glory days. Bring them back.

[@mupersario9900]

I mostly agree with you but this "This is not a pack opening or trading simulator, it is a Football simulator" is sadly not true. All they want is moneymoneymoneymoney. And by giving this tiny hope almost every week "oh, maybe this time I will get that card in the pack" they are getting literally millions of dollars

[@SOUSO991]

Brother, I used to literally obiterate people in divisions with EMENIKE and WELLINGTON on FIFA 13. THAT was PEAK FIFA bs but enjoyable

[@Nktzzzzz]

As a fifa vet that stopped following the series from 2019, huge thank you for this video. It is upsetting that there won't probably be any change whatsoever considering EA's greedy asses. Another thing that is also missing from fifa is the point of using silver cards. In older fifas you could legit dominate with silver players in your squad, which is crazy to think about now

[@costa2k1]

People complain the game has nothing new, want new promos, then complain about the promos, proceed to want better players in promos, then complain the power curve is too high and gold cards are useless, in the end, it's impossible to make everyone happy. But I have to agree with the current game modes that make you use the most meta cards, with the exception of SB where you can have fun with anyone.

[@derrickc3173]

Back in fifa 14 - 17 I don’t think I ever saw anyone complain about lack of content in UT. It was always gameplay stuff or other game modes not getting content. No idea what you’re talking about

[@sitandletgo]

when you truly play for the love of football and geekiness of the cards and competition then it's like this! your channel is amazing! thanks brother!

[@DagnalDiagonal]

At the end of the day, it should always be about fun :)

[@_.deenkadir]

The Regular Show synthesiser music in the intro led to an instant like and sub. Breath of fresh air in the FIFA community and you’re cultured, love it

[@ChicoKaleka]

I think the main problem is lack of grindable content. Back in the day (eg: Fifa 17) you could just spam Div Seasons until you got enough money to buy someone for your team. Nowadays that's not possible, so to compensate they just release a promo every week, and when they don't do something for a single day, you get "nontent", and no one plays. Fun and grindable gameplay should ALWAYS be the priority, and that's where they got it wrong. (sorry for the essay lol) edit: bruh, i wrote before watching, you said basically the same thing XD

[@DagnalDiagonal]

100%. You could load up into divisions and just play for the hell of it and get rewarded whenever you finished. It was semi-sweaty, semi-casual but you could play at your own pace instead of having to get a certain amount of wins per week and then waiting until rewards come out

[@eduardoamaral1628]

an inform was a luxury, I saw maybe 2 icons (at the time legends) and one TOTY the whole year in the enemy team since my team was worth around 150k at max, finished that fifa with around 1700 games with ibarbo

[@DagnalDiagonal]

I packed 1 icon from FIFA 14 (their first year being in the game) to FIFA 22. Since then, I've packed 10+. And it's not worth getting excited about

[@DCLN433]

Armstrong from Celtic used to be my favourite midfielder over previous fifas, like 75 rated, dzikya or however you spell it as a defender, like 78 rated, various attackers around 80 rated…

[@sweetpepino1907]

4:59 Sometimes it really feels like people this year have no idea what they're talking about. They'll only settle for Mbappe and even then I saw someone still say they're putting hunter on the 92 POTM. He has 98 pace.

[@Fodan10]

This video is it man... I've been telling this to my friends for the past 4 years, and no one understands what I mean... A card with 90 pace, 85 dribbling, 80 shooting used to be like WOW, now it's 10k. 😭

The closest thing i've had is 81 rated Kondogbia wich was on my team ever since the beggining of the game because he felt like using someone like Matthaus in-game, but i really hope they bring back players like gold legends Akifenwa and Ibarbo.

[@Michael-sr9um]

I FEEL THIS SO MUCH! the player for me that was like ibarbo was Peniel Mlapa Fifa 14. last years ive played with silvers the whole game but now there are no silver informs so ive stuck to a RTG where i only use silver cards and upgrade them cant get higher then div 4 though. but atleast i have my own fun

[@revalency]

It is so fun to have gold cards in your team through the year because you will find players that become legends instead of having a new promo every week and your team changing so much

[@TheBarronator]

I’ve been loving your videos that are outlining everything wrong with the modern fifas/fc 24. I used to love Fifa 14,15,16, 17 and even 18 and at the age of around 14 I was able to win division 1 titles on all those games, I was literally a child and was beating people with my practically full rare gold teams including Benteke, ibarbo etc. Now I can feel the sluggish ai holding me back most games and can already tell its chosen the opposition to “win” / have an advantage over me by how our ai play. My main reason for continuing to sporadically play every so often is just because I enjoy football itself and want a fun football game to play. Sadly I don’t think the game is going to change for awhile.

[@doru.t98]

im so greatful i got to experience fifa 14 at that time, even if it had BS moments as well, people used to play for fun, there were no weekly rivals rewards, no fut champs to sweat on the weekends , you'd hop into divisions and have fun with whatever team u wanted to use. faced a 5 back rat? just back out and you wont be punished to wait another week for rewards, you can replay the division with rewards as much as you wanted. now everything has to be competitive, sweaty, and results mean more than the experience of playing, which saddens my heart that kids of today can't have the experience i had

[@kevinkrausert1638]

Bro I’ve been a subscriber for a month but you already became my favorite KZbinr. Funny but incredibly relatable. I miss the days of using silver squads and low rated goats like Adrian Ramos from fifa 15 but there is no chance ea will ever revert back to that sadly. Hopefully the UFL game turns out to be good

[@DagnalDiagonal]

That means a lot, thank you so much. I'm glad I can make content you enjoy :)

[@morpheus_313]

Great video, honestly the store pack with the guaranteed promo cards was the final nail in the coffin for me. What am I even grinding for, fodder to complete SBCs that everyone else can do? Evolutions which are a fun concept but drain my coins massively over time if I want to do all of them. I'm not packing anything significant from any promo, I don't even get decent coins from tradeable packs if it's not the 87 rating pack from champs. And little Timmy who got the game for christmas can load up for 200$ buy some store packs and have a untradeble team as good as mine. I don't even want to talk about the abysmal gameplay.

[@chickenmerchant3719]

Anyone that spreads the word about King Ibarbo deserves my utmost respect 🙏

[@Jonathan-9799]

Remember back in fifa 17 18 when everyone was using Butland and how OP he was.

[@Kylerinho]

Potential solution is salary capped type of tournaments/seasons. If people want to play with the promo’s, that’s fine but give us an option where it’s a weekend league where you can only play with an 84 rated squad etc. You could do this with silvers and bring Brasilver type teams back, seems like a no brainer

[@lauracalabro]

came back to fifa 23 after not playing for 8 years. for some reason perisic's world cup tott card felt so smooth to play with and i used it for over 800 games. basically fell in love with the card lol

[@DagnalDiagonal]

I respect that so much

[@michaelcumberbatch831]

I think evolutions tried to fix it but the curve is stupidly hard. Honestly, I'm surprised not many people are saving all of their evolutions to grind certain players. For example, cards like Christian Benavente (set piece god) and Jone Amezaga have some of the best evolutions in the entire game but I haven't seen 1 content creator talk about either of them or other meta evo's that take more than 2 evolutions (besides Mainoo). It seems like people are so focused on spreading out their evolutions and taking the new quick meta player rather than investing in gold/ silver cards for the long run.

[@DagnalDiagonal]

I hear ya. Evos are a great idea, one of the best they've ever had, but the power curve and lack of casual game modes make it difficult to fully enjoy them.

[@nickyvaent7071]

i remember the time in fifa 14 when people had a brazilian silver teams 71 rated just for the flex. The cards were more expensive than some gold cards , but still were playable

I’ve played ultimate team since the champions league game when it first came out. The fun of building a unique team is gone. I miss the days when I could use my 74 rated Shane long up front.

[@xZyvon]

My personal main issue is that there is too little reward for playing in too competetive gamemodes, if you want to play into casuals you basically get nothing and everything else is either obnoxiously sweaty or div 9-6 rivals which get you ~negative rewards, "but there's friendlies cups" that are exactly as sweaty as div 1/2 I've genuinely just moved to squad battles / trying not to get past div 5 in rivals because of this, it's no fun past that point. And seeing as there won't be red player picks for tots I'll unlikely even try and get one through there

[@honestopinions3504]

Fifa players just love to cry no matter what the developers do, I remember people crying what is the point of having great players for 400k when you can just buy a player for 10k and he’s way better. Now that they’ve fixed this issue people are now crying about it but in vise versa.

[@xThexMasterxProx]

Division Rivals reminds me of my days playing LoL Div 6-3 feels extremely sweaty because everyone is copying strats from pros/youtubers, they dont think from themselves and just use meta shit, I think people here spend the most in FC points. Equivalent to League of Legends platinum-diamond. Once you get to top divisions you get players that play with non meta teams because they are actually good at the game, whilst also recognizing that they are not going pro so they don't have to buy FC Points. This reminds me of Masters in LoL (Top 1% of players), where people just fuck around a lot and experiment with builds that end up defining the meta.

[@Yoreel1]

Fifa14 and 17 were the most enjoyable for me. Left Fifa 20 for mental health as it was not enjoyable any more. Do you still have mid-season upgrades? Where your IF got upgraded after the base card got upgraded in Feb/March?

[@turbotoke8882]

It legit used to be normal to have multiple squads that you would use depending on what style of play, or just players you would want to use. I remember having a prem squad, a serie a squad, a hybrid (usually the sweaty one), and an entire starting 11 only using danish players. Because gold cards were good enough to compete, this was doable. Now you have 1 team with 11 untradeable cards and if one player sucks, then hopefully youre gonna pack someone good in the overpriced untradeable hero sbc you just made (youre going to get peter crouch)

[@HNezlxrd]

Facts, I did not even buy this years "FIFA", since I felt last year that it was the last straw. Last year it felt like you needed to grind out superhard for the most meta cards, and in some cases, they stayed meta until the last day of the game, and in some cases they were replaced within a week, and there was no way of knowing so you had to do all the grind. With them adding females to UT, I just knew that there would be even more special cards. I told myself to wait, and see if atleast Career mode was worth it, and seeing people on youtube playing it made me just feel like "nah, not buying this shitty game until they fix it"

This is because of how broken the mechanics and frostbite engine is for a football game. They’ve messed it up so bad that your players can’t do basic things without having absolute all around meta stats and now also play style

William Saliba is a name you've forgotten FC24 GOAT

I've had cragno (gk)since the begining of my team, he's one of my og's, he's now on my team an 80 overall, I will never replace him, I've had too many good moments with him to let him go, I know there's better then him, but I will never, ever, replace my boi cragno

People were legit breaking their controllers because of smalling in fifa 17 xD. Btw i played fifa 17 recently, the amount of variety the way you can play the game is insane..

This current fifa, I’ve packed 5 players, in which I’ve managed to sell for a combined, 2 million coins. But I remember getting more excited, when I got 300k for packing Neymar on fifa 14. Packing great players really is not the same anymore.

Gold Neymar this year is still cracked

[@dabrovsky2293]

I also remember times when 74 Agbonlahor was casually worth upwards of 200k and could evaporate any defence in fifa 13.

fifa 20 i used 85 rated gold Lenglet until i accidentally put him into an SBC. He had 900+ games on him and i used him from the beginning of the game until like June-July 😢

I remeber my CAM and two Strikers back then were Aubameyang, Adrian Ramos and Ibarbo.... good times

Mendy is still holding on strong... I have so many memories of hidden gems on older fifas... Son, Draxler, Musa etc... But tbh its a good thing that these players are not that good anymore. I mean they weren't really that good IRL, so they shouldn't be unplayable gods in-game. Its a good thing they brought in EVOs because it kinda gives this vibe back. Also with the entrance of women in the game it bought a lot more squad creativity IMO.
