Matt - you're completely right. The lack of competition means they have a monopoly & know they can get away with things, because we all want to play a decent football game. What are the alternatives? The downside is, realistically, we're years away from a viable alternative. Even if UFL came out this year, its going to take a while to get the game to a good standard. I agree striking won't help. Really the only way to hurt EA is through their profits. I do think there should be a collective strike against FIFA points. No direct criticism of you, as 95% of your content is zero spend rtg based (main reason I watch) but we need to stop glamourizing these atrocious store packs & encouraging people to spend. It only takes one crazy pull on a stream & people will be spending £30/£40 on a single pack in the hope of something good. If EA see their profits dip, they'll see were not content for them to keep churning out any old game and have to address at least some of the issues.

This vid has turned into “don’t blame content creators”. I personally think content creators who work with/for EA should be boycotted too. They are part of the problem pushing pack openings. The data is clear, this game is creating addiction. This isn’t even debatable.

“Unintended rewards” so the intended ones are supposed to be Donnaruma or Lala? Awful company

[@robfut9954]

They probable weighted the odds directly with rating on an even scale instead of the 1/500 chance or whatever you would normally get to pack Mbappe. They clearly had an issue, if they leave it we all play against Mbappe the rest of the year and if they remove it we feel screwed for not playing 11 games in 5 hours. I’m not sure which is the lesser evil, but an apology and then give everyone else double rewards at the normal crap odds who plays WL this week seems more fair.

[@ricl7413]

So there are actual tots in packs at the moment? Not seen one yet after opening lots of packs. Don’t remember seeing any from Bundesliga either. Unless you take a chance and buy packs which i will never do then it just ruins the game. You can tell if you should waste 15-20 minutes of your time on a team you could potentially beat, but most now are becoming unbeatable. I have no problem losing in a good balanced match, but when some see it almost fun to score three or four within 10 minutes, then pause the game expecting you to quick, or just pass the ball about not giving you any chance to get it back, then sorry but this game is just totally finished.

[@atereolusola2497]

They should have left the odds. If everyone have mbappe it makes no difference, stopping others from packing is the unfair advantage. It's either they recall the rewards and refresh it. Or compensate everyone with mbappe guaranteed packs​@@robfut9954

[@coolant590]

Wild because FIFA 20 was the proper beginning of the end imo. Between 18-20 they figured out the DDA aspect correlated with pack sales and that they could code a game to not only have addictive packs mechanics but also devalue the competitive aspects so much that lead players to do whatever it takes to improve their teams based on what they were seeing in game. Genius by them really, they succeeded in monetizing the world’s game but also ruined one of the most beloved sports franchises ever. It’s in the game!

I’ve stood by EA and watched mistake after mistake for years but I’m fed up and can’t put up with this anymore. Honestly, f*ck EA

[@kostyaw83]

The only thing, in my opinion, that can help is this: to stop open packs with FC points. You buy FC point with your own money. So by doing this, you hurt the company where it's hurts a most - revenue in the end of the quarter. This way you also stop gambling, 'cos packs in general are gamble. And the last point. Why spend real money on the game that won't allow you to use its online feature after the end of game's cycle?

Nonsense. A protest would absolutely hit their bottom line. “The casual player” is irrelevant. EA released their Q4 results and a majority of their profits come from “live content” which is packs from EA FC. Read their financial report to get a better understanding of the company. The end of the day, a boycott is very much going to hurt them. A boycott by content creators will make no difference. It takes the community.

EA is all about shareholders. Nothing else matters. Until people stop buying packs nothing will improve. There is no incentive for them to do so.

[@gibsonyap3549]

The problem with content creators is they have the platform to voice out unlike normal casual players and only some of them are sticking their necks out at the issue. You can still open packs, play the game but at least be a part of the community to voice out concerns of the game. If EA doesn't care, then stand up collectively and voice out more till the bigger media outlets take notice of this and it then becomes a movement for answers. No company will like bad press.

[@kevinantonio6635]

People are not realising that when they changed the pack weight of the player pick there was no server maintenance , no stopping champs for a few hours it was literally like nothing happened then boom pack weight changed which is scary reality because is that wt they do for every pack and player pick which literally supports the whole theory how it’s not even a gamble they can just change the chances any time they want.

It's the scripting that needs fixing, the developers need to be put in jail and we need a fully manual football simulator

[@GintsG]

Generally speaking, the lack of competition is one of the issues. Sadly, we all want a great football game, whereas EA is just taking advantage of us and pushing the limit of strategies and optimisation tactics with a focus on making money, increasing attention span and squeezing out of year-long game money as much as possible. The tactics that are used are to increase the "need" to upgrade your team within a couple of weeks, or you have a disadvantaged team. This pushes people to spend hours of time for menu grinding or casually just pay extra money every month for some promo packs to get those better players as people just don't have time to spend 70% of their time grinding menus and 30% of gameplay. With all the strategies on top of how fast the players improve with each promo, the market and coin-making strategies are also affected with a goal to have that "first-owner" squad-building element more valuable, which benefits more time in menus or spending money in promo packs, especially real casuals who would like to prioritise just some gameplay and build a squat in shorter time. Sadly, realistically, it is a squad-building game first and then a bit of gameplay.

[@Juhucho99]

They need weeks or even months to change some bugs, or gameplay issues .. not to mention the hackers are still in game for 2 years now, disconnects, lags, shitty servers.... but they can " fix " rewards within hours. The only reason they fixed them is because those players are supposed to be only in store packs , and that is mad, community should unite and all the content creators also, to make a stand, at least to now spend fifa points for a month, and for sure EA will see the downfall in their income, the fact that they don't even apologize is just crazy... they don't deserve this community and our money, because first of all we pay for the game 60-100$ , unfinished game, buggy menu and probably one of the shittiest menu in modern games, and all the crappy stuff.. + people pay for fifa points to be able to pack something good . That should not be the case, I love how in 2 years they updated the store packs more than the game itself... Things need to change or they will add even more crap in the coming games.

"The gameplay is frustrating, with a pay-to-win model where dedicated players rarely obtain top-tier cards, while those who spend money often do.

[@Yoyomanred]

8:00 Yeah 30% percent of players on Xbox has got enough points to play weekend league it says in achievements. This is why the change of the rewards is so absurd too. You change the rewards for less than 1/4 of the all time players assuming that people stopped playing this game. It could even be a lot lower. This is exactly why we shouldn't say that we as a small amount can't force change because EA still thought it was to many players getting good rewards.

[@Cosmic-Gecko66]

As a longtime fan of fifa/eafc I can't bring myself to go anywhere near ultimate team anymore. I don't need packs and new cards pushed in my face every day, especially when I personally can't agree with the gameplay. Goalkeepers are my main point as they are terrible, but in general over the last 5-6 years the gameplay feels like it has taken a real downturn. I'm waiting to see what UFL is like when it releases, or goals when that finally comes out. Hopefully people give them the time and help on release to make a football game that fans actually care about again, not some overpowered meta bullshit gameplay.

[@Wilkostorm_RL]

Had a bit of time to reflect on ea We cannot tell EA to improve the gameplay. They made playstyle changes, made it so that you put players in with certain traits that work for you. I love lofted pass pluses on defenders and whipped pass plus on the left wing, and trivela on the right wing. I like a striker who has finesse shot plus. Yes, some are more overpowered compared to others (flair versus incisive pass for example) Ea even put evolutions in the game, they are trying to improve gameplay. Also, people complain about packs in store, I have a 193 squad, I’m in division 2, my whole team is untradeable, I do sbcs and challenges, and I have packed toty ribery when toty was out and battle, players worth 4.5 million combined and they are untradeable. Do I think that EA should maybe reduce how often they bring out huge packs? Yes, absolutely, the credibility of the game goes that way. But is it possible to be a good player without spending money, yes. Nick obviously was sick of the game, but for the love of god it’s a game, there’s flaws, there’s good aspects. If EA never brought new things to Fut I’d back him, but Ea do things for the game, they don’t just sit back and do nothing

[@sensaidoom]

Bad PR is more powerful than their bottom line, imo. The Battlefront issue was terrible PR, but they'd have probably still moved a metric tonne of game copies either way. The title of most disliked post was what embarrassed them in to change. Creators can be blamed too, if their content is centred on FP pack openings then they are pushing packs for EA. At bare minimum this needs to stop. However, creators just playing the game and making fun RTGs etc are definitely not to blame - although it would be nice to hear more speak out more often, not encourage FP buying and also not encourage coin buying.

[@hoodie5004]

They need to find the right balance and not have “meta” cards. That way people can play with their FAVORITE players and still be able to compete.

EA as a whole needs a HUGE revamp, because the things that goes around this company is just gross.....Starting with the alleged DDA and the way they manipulate human emotion to keep them hooked to the game...The complete absence of communication and feedback between the player base and the developers....The lack of effort developing their most popular game and avoiding creating meta playstyles...and the way that this game is easy to hack and disconnect other players.. These are problems that has nothing to do with football and you can project them on any game/company....imagine if a debuting company with a new game and it has these problems....that just means EA are living and feeding from their past glory and it's the only reason they keep getting away with everything.. The only way I see them lose is if another company makes a decent game of football. UFL is still missing for over two years , and there are rumors FIFA want to make their own game, until then, no boycott or PR can stop EA🤷‍♀

[@user-xb9nf3bx5o]

I have been grinding the menus like crazy cant pack anything decent its all about the store packs

[@spongelias6674]

Such a complicated situation. If only EA had more of a conscience

[@ZazicxUT]

Where is Bateson's vid abt something like this? Surely he would say something and you can tell they (EA) want money as they said "Unintended results" so you were supposed to get something bad so they can promote packs to buy for a 'tiny' better chance at something good. I like playing the game for the fun but I think we need to stop buying fc points (including me) and they need to stop patching things that should stay the same for the same odds for ppl who couldnt receive it straight away..

Ever since the first year of playing fifa ultimate team back in fifa 12. Every single year it gets worse. Feel the last 3 fifa's I've said this will be the last one. I'm barely a casual now. It sucks how little EA care

Matt Auzio and Nick standing up for the community 😊

[@thekeeganator0193]

I agree with you but why should we have to wait for competition to get a game where the player base is treated fairly??

[@MattHDGamer]

What else can fix this situation?

[@thekeeganator0193]

@@MattHDGamer something like a boycott of fifa points and or big creators need to highlight issues more often, just for an example it’s been 2 years and this game still allows people to be toxic and quit at 0-0,1-1 etc how that is allowed to go on is beyond me.

[@milesv.2092]

The game in general is made to make you addicted. Not only packs, but the game itself is designed to make you become an addict like gambling addicts. EA is the Casino and the odds are against you, always. Regardless, you know that you'll lose everything when you go the casino but you will still go, because you're addicted. The same goes for playing this game, the odds are against you always. Question: What do you do when you get disconnected from the game? You will play it again. Or how do you react when you have input delay and desyncs? You will come back and play it. What I'm saying is, no matter what happens, and you know that every problem could reoccur while you are playing, but you keep coming back to the casino... That is why I believe every single issue, bug and glitch is intentionally built into the game

[@Tedharry]

They have fired sooo many people working on the game to cut cost. The result is what we are seeing. You would be a real mastermind to be able to sabotage within all of these different instances in the company…

[@ChubbyMW]

At least they gave us the “intended” rewards in donarumma and lees melou

[@leerussell6425]

A lot of these situations would be easily nullified if EA were actually transparent with what’s going on. If they released a statement saying ‘X happened because of Y’ then although it’s a ‘mistake’ at least we know why it happened and how they can potentially stop it happening again (🤣)but we get nothing from them

[@pipb07]

EA have not learned from NBA Live. Who remembers that? That was THE NBA game before 2k made their own and people realized how their gameplay was better and stopped playing nba live. Now 2k own the NBA market but their game is crap now because they don’t have competition and reason to improve their game, but that’s a whole different discussion.

[@NithilKS]

Imagine them not responding to the numeruos feedback that you left in the Gamechangers discord along with other creators, but then they immedietely respond to 1 video you put on youtube. Thats so funny.

[@rich7376]

It just goes to show that the rewards have never been down to luck or chance. EA have been picking and choosing the cards everybody gets all year.

[@aaronthornhill8474]

Silent content creators are part of the problem though Matt. Thanks for speaking out though , we appreciate it

[@muhammedg-tips1584]

They make promos everyweek or maybe everyday to get more money from pack opening they don't care about us who played they game for +10 years anymore so they decided to ruin it for more money

[@jdavis915]

It's been a weird game this year probably more enjoyable than ever , but for some reason driving Me away more than any other fifa

[@MattHDGamer]

Interesting that it’s been more enjoyable for you, is that due to evolutions or gameplay?

[@jdavis915]

​@@MattHDGamergameplay has always been questionable, playstles have improved it a little and gave it more edge, but yeah things like evos and some menu stuff has been more fun than ever , but they always find a way to ruin things 50 patches a year all the mistakes , and your right they don't care or ever address us properly even the ones with the biggest voices such as yourself they don't listen only care about image and profit

[@spekboomgt7154]

"For cheap and fast reliable FC coins" on a sort of a rant video

[@taslimaradhiullah4971]

i remember watching manny and mmt for a long time but because of how bad the gameplay was he stopped making fifa content as much like cuz of their greed we miss out on great creators playing what used to be a good game (for me it was fifa 12-18

[@JaredxBloodlust]

You are right about some things and I wholeheartedly disagree that it won’t do anything. Yes there’s many casuals but us the hardcore players are actually the heart of the FIFA franchise. Yes they are catering the game to attract casuals but at the end of the day without us the hardcore players the game is absolutely meaningless. If us the hardcore players stop playing the game. There’s no such thing as division rivals, there’s no fut champs. These modes were made for the hardcore not for the casuals. And that’s where the mistake is. Thinking that casuals hold a stronger power grip on the game and it isn’t true. Casuals are more likely to end up buying coins, have their teams and play less during the week. Us. We play every single bloody day. We keep the game alive throughout the week. Not casuals. If we stop playing. EA will find themselves in a situation in which the game is barely played. They will go from FC 24 to Angry Birds. Without the hardcore players the game doesn’t exist. So no matter how many casuals play the game. Without us, the casuals will find themselves in a situation in which they play other casuals get bored and never “improve” and quit the game. So I disagree. Until we as a community realise that we are stronger than even the casuals. We will never get a good football game.
