As I read through the comments. I do not freaking care about EAFC, but for now it is the best futbol game out there and we are forced to play it for the love of the sport. Many will say play irl, who said people who play irl are not gaming? Football lovers are forced to be stuck in EAFC unless they decide to not play football virtually at all. It is the best game of football right now and they take advantage of it on us. Also the cheaters. I am annoyed to this. The cheaters has invaded this game not only on PC. EA could use this in their favour to say game is good, but cheaters make it look bad, as cheaters in this game visually are nearly impossible to spot. Only if they are dumb showing off their cheats. Everything together make this game a lot worst than it should be, but def not an excuse for what EA does!

So you're gaining literally almost nothing and losing powershot+ for 150k. Joke.

Every year they give you less and less in the hope you would spend more and more. It's all about making more money for EA. Also, everybody is talking about inconsistent gameplay, without acknowledging DDA. They cannot fix inconsistent gameplay because it would mean removing DDA and making this game purely skill based. Leading to less spending. And that's the main problem. Every improvement they could make to the QoL of the players will lead to less spending. Their main focus is making the game just good enough so that players will buy it and then making it bad enough that you will always feel like things could be better, ''why not buy some packs to upgrade your team''. Make no mistake about it. How the game is now, is exactly how EA wants it to be. The way your feeling right now is exactly the way EA wants you to feel when playing this game.

I appreciate what Nep is saying about Evo’s, I assume some of the +2s to OVR are due to the weighting of stats against their effect on an OVR Calc…. So if there are only 4 stat elements to PHY, say a +8 on 2 will effect the OVR due to weighting ….. what doesn’t make sense is getting a +2 based zero stat increases…… so either says to me that the OVR card rating is entirely separate to the stat totals themselves, or any change to any stats is nothing more than a graphical enhancement in the attributes page and doesn’t make a blind bit of difference to the player in game ….. either way it’s dodgey AF…..!!!

i enjoyed fifa 23 and the nightmare started in fc24 it was a horrible experience and it felt so much how EA moved the probability to get some cards and those "errors" were part of the day after day when the content time arrives to see if EA made another mistake on purpose, but not only that the SBC was really bab i remember asking months if a defender was better than gold VVD, then the legues sbc arrived and started the ludopathy and it became worst when we got the trading 85 - 89 cards to get more gold and use them in pick, and then let the cicle run, it was the worst and most gambling game i have ever played even i play some gacha games, i am glad i quit the game but sad i spended money on FC25

We all watched the gameplay trailers/reveal for FC 25 in the summer. We were all aware of how trash the game was going to be. What changed? We knew this was going to happen. Hopefully this is the last straw for people, me included. We must not buy FC 26 at all costs.

[@DarrylBrowne]

It's honestly very simple. They're absolutely terrified of doing anything that can potentially impact pack sales. I've said this many times but this is why who owns something is so critical. When something is owned by people that just want money and nothing else the quality of the product becomes a race to the bottom. Buying something needs to start including shares of the company that produce the product. The only way this situation improves is if the people that own the game are the ones that play it.

Some weeks conceding 0 goals in 15 games that did not come from me tackling a attacker and it bouncing back to someone in a better position or a 30-40 yard finesse shot that my keeper parrys into the path of someone else (i moved keeper for the finesse shot). Since Cod came out i have not played a single game on any mode. Game needs to be stripped back and be more MANUAL. AI defending has ruined the game by closing the skill gap... Its wrong you can have more trouble vs a poor player who controls 1 outfield player (CM/CDM) and just abuses RB press than if you was to play a good player who manually high presses you. Game rewards the wrong people.
