Pay for the game, but stay away from paid packs and points. It’s a scam and you get absolutely nothing of value. It’s even worse when the next game comes and everything you have collected is dead and worthless. Save your money brothers.

[@jacobjones3441]

The moment that made it easier for me to stop chasing those top 1% players was when I realised that even if I had them, I would never be a rank one player. It is literally a skill issue. When you realise you don't NEED them players (like ea make us believe) to achieve your naturally skill level, you stop chasing them as much. Sure, they're nice to have, but it's just that.

[@endoftheparty]

Your correct the cards rating isn't the most important it's the skills of and rf and the person using the controller. It's just a money making racket.

[@chrisfouego6228]

That’s somewhat true but from someone who always plays on elite division and without ever spending any money I would tell you that when you are facing players close to your level and they have an insane meta team they definitely have an advantage

[@Gatordoc35]

The internet never ceases to amaze me, there will be people that come on here and tell you not to tell them how to spend their money...clearly they didn't listen to the video. you do a great job of explaining why buying FC points is not necesarry but also explain that it is still their decision if that's what they choose to do. You will also have people on here complaining that people shouldn't get addicted to this game if they are grown and are weak for doing so. This also seems very easy but in reality is not how the world works. Gambling is a real addiction just as so many adults get addicted to other things in life. This game hides the gambling very well. I appreciate this video as I am one of those people that got deeply addicted to the chase. I have been to Vegas twice in my life, never gambled once. I never thought gambling appealed to me. Well, when COVID hit and we couldn't get out and do anything I went deep into playing FIFA. At first, I didn't even now what FIFA points were. But I soon realized that my team wasn't any good and I felt the need to buy points to open packs. This was before I understood how to trade on the market. I became addicted to that feeling. Yes, EA didn't help make it any easier to quit, but I should have seen it sooner. I spent thousands of dollars over a two year span, damn near causing marrital issues and definitley causing financial issues. I needed help, and I came accross Nate's content. It completely changed the way that I approach the game and I didn't have to spend money any longer. It was liberating, and as he states, just feels better when you're successful. I have to also agree with a comment in this section, you don't need the best players to be good. Even with the most meta team I will never be Rank 1 in FUT champs. The moral is that you have to take a good look in the mirror. If you can spend 40$ a month on FIFA points and it makes you happy and enjoy the game, good for you being that disciplined and I hope you enjoy. But for a majority of people that spend, it can lead to a dangerous habbit. As far as FC in general, it takes so much time now to make coins and get packs that the grind is never ending and packing good cards seems damn near impossible. I haven't preordered the game for the first time in a long time and won't be playing for the first time since World Cup 94' (yes, I'm that old). Will stil enjoy watching the content but will find another football game to enjoy for free and card collect for free. Thanks for all the help Nate, will also support the channel and the stream

[@brianodriscoll2725]

If you’re going to waste money on the game, at least buy coins and not points . If you spend 20 euro for 200k you get 200k but if you spend 20 euro on packs you only get like 50k of stuff and half the time it’s untradeable.

[@ghelba1]

Not the first days of the market, if you know how to trade, you spent some money on fc points and then x10 your coins by just trading them. Coins first weeks are more expensive

[@nikthequick9688]

FC 24 was my first full season of this and I am so glad I did not buy any FC points but I am addicted to the game free to play wise and I spent way too much time this year on this game and grinding the web app so I decided it was best for me to not get FC 25. I was so close to spending money at times but I grinded and I constantly told myself at the end of the season these have no value. There is sadly no collection feature that moves along. What really made me step away was the rage this game caused me like no other game before and I am in my 30s, games are supposed to be fun. The gameplay is so inconsistent and EA is focused on selling FC points more than fixing the game so next year will have all the same issues basically. I will admit I am just not that good at the game and Champs gets me so nervous. A match is just constant pressure and more times than not it goes the wrong way and I refuse to be a rat, I want to play a football game. Anyways, I appreciate all your videos Nate and towards the end I was watching daily.

[@AsapMagzi]

im the same as you, played UT first time this Jan. my natural talent got me to div 4 and i couldnt push past, then i started watchng tons of YT vids on how to improve now an elite 900 sr player hopefully still improving. its addictive but for me worth it now that i can go 17-0 when i used to strugge to just qualify haha. also the better you get the less time you need to spend coz you can destroy with an average team

Sometimes the gameplay felt nice and responsive and other times my 90 plus pace player felt like he was a sloth versus lower pace players....just a lot of issues.

New player in 24. I foolishly caught the FC points bug in November and spent a few hundred chasing glory. How silly. Never won jack squat with the purchased packs. Here we are end of 24, never made it higher than Div 5, never won more than 8 in any champs, if I could even make it to WL which wasn't every week, and now have a team full of 99 rated, after grinding hundreds of hours, only to realize the numbers on the cards mean nothing. The rubber banding in this game is unreal, it's like @#$&ing Mario Kart ffs What even is this game? I should just wait until April-May when the game drops by $50, and I'll still pack/build the same team that took me triple the time/sweat/tears. Don't fall for the hype, and if you do, get out asap!!! Can't wait for UFL in Dec. It might actually be a football game. FC 24 certainly wasn't and 25 won't be, quite sadly.

When its for free you can have a top team within 1-2 weeks. Selling every worthy card immediately and playing only with untradeable cards. Less stress and pressure. Doing this for years now. Everybody should do this. That`s the only way to "hurt" EA and avoid stress.

[@SmallvilleNorge]

In the start of the game I had a decent team and was doing avrage. Thought of have a little fun so decided to played with my EVO team that was moastly mixed by Man Utd and Barca players. This was just under two months before TOTY. Player rate was behind the curve... but the playstyles sent them MILES ahead! Won moast of the games in that periode (stayed in div 5/6 by choice), but after TOTY there were not many EVO that could improve the team, so it fell behind. My Kobbie Mainoo 79 (1 PS+ (intercept) and 8 PS) was dominating the midfield, the regular Trickster made is so much fun. My Garnacho 84 with regular Finesse Shoot scored on close to all shoot inside the box. The team was more or less like this: Keeper: Schmeichel 89 (SBC) RB: Ona Batlle 88 (Radiactive EVO) CB: Saliba 85 (EVO) CB: Inigo Martinez 88 (EVO) LB: Cancelo 93 (Pep Legacy EVO) CDM: Tchoameni 87 (Centurian EVO) CM: Kobbie Mainoo 79 (mix of 4-5 EVO) CM: Ella Toone 86 (Radiactive EVO) RW: Amad Diallo 79 (EVO) S: Anthony Martial 83 (Centurions EVO) RW: Garnacho 84 (EVO)

If the average salary in Poland is 5 times lower, but the prices of every day items are 5 times cheaper, then the points or video games arent gonna be 5 times cheaper. Theyre gonna be the usa price but just with exchanged currency. If the game itself costs 80 dollars in the us, its gonna cost about 320 if you live in Poland. I hope you understand

[@fredystrap7465]

The most important is the fact that this game it's turning into an untradeable machine. This year I stop buying cards on January, it's just so pointless, EA re-releasing cards 2 months after it originally came out, cards just heavily dropping in price etc.. At the end of the day I think the best way is maybe spend $100 at the beginning to have a cheap but meta team and then the rest of the game work with untradeables and SBC's but you don't need to spend those $100. EA it's giving you cards constantly throughout the game cycle so you don't even need to trade neither spend money. Buying FC points on the game it just a help for the first 2 months of the game cycle, after the third month every team gets slightly equal and you have wasted your money.

[@jonathonconnell4247]

I stopped spending money at around January. What I would say is that at the end game stage I've ended up with exactly the same squad of players I'd have if I had continued to spend money. It's just not worth it. The prices of these things is the most disgusting thing about it - $100 is not a 'micro-transaction'. That is more than the cost of the actual game!

If FC24 was notorious for pay to play, why do you think FC 25 will be any different. And why do you think FC 25 may be better than FC 24 when they always ban those who they think are cheating due to their coins amount. Or due to the market flipping. Bye FC and all the best for those who will complain about the game and yet will buy it. Think hard about the amount of money you will use in a game and how that money can be used for something better. EA doesn't care about the ppl. The RATS will use the same cheats and glitches. Will that change...no! The glitches stem back from FIFA in the 90's. Once again, think hard.

Back in fifa 15 I actually didn’t mind spending money on fifa points because you would actually get a good coin return but now the pack weight is so low unless you’re really lucky you get nothing!

[@Dao4deuce]

The other thing with spending money on this game is, EA respond to how people play and interact with this game. The more people spend, the worse it will get. The more times people spend money on FP Points or Evos, the more EA are going to target those areas. If they see that a certain tactic they use promotes people spending money, they'll find new ways to make you think you have to spend to get them, raise prices for certain in-game items, or format the game more towards FP spending to get that bag. Basically, the more people spend on microtransactions, the worse EA will make it for F2P options.

[@grackization]

The worst feeling is spending money, getting an op team and losing against rtg-s 😅 will never do that mistake again... I enjoy playing most with an underdog team

[@baskbwiz-ri6rw]

The problem with this game is the way people decide to run their club. The self imposed rules that you have to be untradable, first owner, etc will always lead you to hate the game some how, some way. But that's on you and you need to live with the results. Everyone who wants the best rewards should be buying the best players week in and week out. This goes for Elite players to div 10 because we all know using the meta players gives you an advantage. So learn the market to make coins and use those coins to buy the best squad you can. NO FC points or coin buying.

[@HerraNero]

"Passion" for playing this game can only take you so far. Online competitive gameplay and the power curve moving too fast on a weekly basis will create frustration. This frustration will cause you to spend. The game is literally built to make you do microtransactions.

EA really need to make a gallery or something that year on year you dont completely LOSE all the cards you've collected... or make it that cards are upgradable so progressively year on year your cards progressively get worse so you dont lose the cards but newer/version of players become better... hope that makes sense - but yeah after starting with fc24 losing the whole club ive built the whole year feels souless...

I haven't felt the need to chase packs and special cards. I have completed far less of the player SBC's as well. I am hoping that playing the game with an evolved team in FC25 should be more enjoyable due to t he changes in division rivals. Playing more games against players of the same skill level, not getting stuck in a division that you perhaps shouldn't be in due to the re-introduction of relegation. I think/feel it will be positive.

Everyone just needs to see this as a 9 month card collecting game. And KNOW that the last 2 months you'll be able to get all the cards you havnt got through the first 7 months.

I literally spent £100 on fc24. I was packing crap until I spent the money and literally packed trailblazer mbappe in 10 coin pack and then centurion rashford straight after. And guess what that is still the best two players a packed throughout the whole game 😂

[@KingKLou]

Sure…

[@LFCRambo]

@@KingKLou what ya mean sure you freak. Why would I lie you mong

[@FalcornAU]

Why do you always need to clarify "I'm not telling you how to spend your money"... if someone is spending $1000s on this game, not only does it ruin the experience for anyone that comes up against them in rivals, but it doesn't take a financial advisor to know they should be spending their money differently. If you are one of these players, I encourage you to reach out for gambling addiction support, there are free services for this all over the world. EA doesn't deserve a solitary cent from you or anyone for how they have destroyed the FIFA experience.

[@willbloodworth9438]

I wouldn’t say it’s a gambling addiction, I’ve loaded up 200k points for the start of the game I won’t load up another penny, I work full time. I see it as a hobby and something I enjoy, I will also be using it to make content

[@dasbose9999]

​@willbloodworth9438 wow how can u waste ur money soo bad. On a stupid video game 🤦‍♂️ get some help bro

[@owen1563]

​@willbloodworth9438 bro you've definitely got some sort of addiction and blatantly in denial I would really consider putting down the controller and getting some real world help

[@FalcornAU]

​@@willbloodworth9438 200k FIFA points = ~$2000 USD. Given you don't actually create content (happy to be proven wrong), I'll assume you're in the first stage of grief, denial.

[@morpheus_313]

​@@willbloodworth9438maybe it's not an addiction but you do realize, that you give riddiculous amounts of money, to a company that spits in the faces of their paying customers every year? Maybe you like the game as it is, which is ok, but with people like you throwing money at them for nothing but the slight chance to pack certain virtual cards, nothing will ever change for the better.

[@rossdenholm7277]

Hi Nate you have helped me so much over the last few years . I love the grind last year I made well over 15 million. I was the same b4 I always put way to much money in like 4 grand in a year it’s mad. Now I feel more rewarding when I play for free I would not give that scum a penny now they don’t deserve it. They way fc24 was run I think the game should be free the amount off mistakes are mind blowing I just hope everyone takes note

[@Socram28]

After toty this game is boring tbf

[@rickdavid9888]

I agree on the general sentiment of the video, Last year due to evolutions was the first year I´ve actually spend money on the game as I felt that was somewhat less so to speak 'gambling' that will be my only reasoning to load up fifa points again this year. I'll once put 18.500 fifa points on the game and hoping it will atleast lead me to november/december with evolutions. But I refuse to spend money on packs. That's just not the way to go about it. With all the type of upgrade packs players are so easy to come by, alot of the top tier meta players aren't even a whole lot better then the players just below that.

[@mco230]

Even spending real money on evolutions is literally throwing money away, it is the exact same as buying points for packs, you are still giving money to ea for a few pixels running around on a screen. You are literally benefiting nothing from it apart from making ea even richer.

[@rickdavid9888]

@@mco230 well, for the first time ever my favorite club is in the game, its for me the most fun to play with the team I support. But atleast with evo's you know what you are getting when you decide to buy it. That makes a difference for me. I don't mind EA getting richer if I'm having enjoyment along the way. They are a business after all.

[@MontyMatata]

Forget FC points.. i aint even bought the game .. EA has destroyed the game we used to love 😢

[@FrankOnline007]

F23 was my best team ever. I stopped doing gamble packs (icon picks), they always turn out bad. Saved my fodder, only did great value sbcs. Had enough to do potm mbappe.

[@ovojdabanks210]

if you're not a top 3 div player or do the game for your job free to play isn't as easy as you think and definitely isn't rewarding...

[@austindmcveigh]

I loaded up some money (around 25 bucks) after my birthday party at the start of fc 24 I packed Cristiano Ronaldo and felt some joy as he is one of my favourite players but after a couple of weeks he plummeted in price and was way past the power curve. I haven’t spent FC points since and I am not planning on doing so again on FC 25.

[@MrKooky10]

I don’t buy Fc points during the game but this was my first year since I started in fifa 20 that I got ultimate edition. Is that alright or still stick to normal edition

[@jariharjula8824]

Its way more fun to build up your squad and think how use your fodder when you dont use any money. Brings back the idea of this game of u ask me

[@alkinineprodigy3902]

Thanks Nate… last year I first started watching you and seeing this, I’m gonna make a stand not to spend money on this game or any other ea franchise, even going to waiting for the game to go on sale Black Friday lmao, again thanks Nate you’ve changed my mind, not only that but probably my life around too

[@KarlH_123]

Always advise everyone to play for free not buy points this was the first game I actually spent money and some weeks I'd be spending $100 and even though the money wasn't an issue it's the most miserable year I've spent playing the game Feels better playing for free and grinding to earn the players you want not destroying your bank making EA richer

[@MrWhitmen1981]

The game play style and meta is so bad at elite division, it doesn’t even warrant chasing op big cards anymore. With relegation playing in the lower divisions will be a more fun experience.

[@aaronlewarne5269]

It’s gunna be a shit game, it’ll be worse than last year for stress and addiction.. hoping rush game mode is very fun and rewarding

[@vickona970]

Step 1 : buy game in Jan when it’s $15 Step 2: just grind and trade. Dont buy fp end of

[@CB-tm8yi]

I always feel like I'm late to the party when it comes to coin making opportunities. If your not all over social media at content time it's too late by time you here about ways to make coins Nate

[@djjavierlugardo]

For a second I thought the title of the video was "Why You SHOULDN’T Buy FC 25" But I get it, I know you gotta pay the bills some how!

[@tommurphy9868]

Fc points should be earnable in the new season pass. If the season pass cost 1400 fp then yiu should get at least 1000 back at from completing the pass

[@Garage_7oeder]

I agree, and even to motivate free to play idea . Now EA have the PlayStyle + and how easy a high rating players to get behind the Power Curve, Packing an end game card is impossible. Can u imagine that Mbappe POTM ! Is not even fodder , it’s crazy. Back in the day Gold Mbappe or CR7 are an end game cards ! But not anymore

[@fifaMonster66]

Yeaa i prefer coins instead of points hands down and will be getting some day1 once the game comes out next week btw do you know any reliable place that will have them asap for the launch?

[@alanmoon5398]

Agreed buying coins for years from Supercoinsy store and this is much better than points also if you wanna get some day1 when it drops check their site as they will be ready like each year release. Never had to look for another site for years since i found them.

[@kaiden7710]

The only good thing i saw in a store pack were auzio packing gullit and speed packing gold van dijk in the first day

[@yorbendw5035]

Life's great in Belgium. We're not even able to buy FC points XD. Most of all, though : free to play = passion

[@kahnbayern1359]

Then every Evolution has to be paid with coins?😅

[@lead7416]

When is 85 x10 dropping in eafc25?

[@knowplacelikesones8073]

Why i only buy the ultimate edition to have a week early and get fp to get me going

[@Bergkamp413]

Im not gonna lie i spent about 1000 us dollars on fifa point i stopped a coupke month ago i was realizing even when i packed a crazy player i never used the card more than 100 games because next week new promo ne player its quite mad i started an rtg its way more fun and rewarding

[@boxing236]

FIFA 23 I started watching ur content, traded for the first time ever, got up to 1.5 mil over the year, this year I got upto 4 mil, never buying fc points again, you’re a lifesaver Nate 🙏🏻

[@JG-gv5ho]

It sucks when ea coin wipes you

[@DimezHD]

Honestly I’m debating with myself if i should but the ultimate or standard edition I can’t decide

[@timhiller8581]

No harm in buying at start

[@LeaoJo]

2023 i was a very good fifa player but last year i grinded on the market for the first and i got my first 100k ever i was so happy it really is about the market tho sniping bids and evos,

[@ayrtonnunez4355]

Don’t buy the game cuz I won’t

[@shisuiuchiha9433]

Thank you, I enjoy todays video , peace ✌

[@stefanrei7655]

Hej Nate, very good video as always. One more reason to not use FC Points - with the amount of Coin Wipes going on, one should definitely be careful. EA doesn’t care where those coins are coming from. Don‘t support this fraudulent behavior by even spending more money!
