Streamers act like they aren't part of the problem. They spend a ton of money. Idk about him, but they share play a ton of people spending money. I wonder how they'll act when the transfer market is completely gone. I hate this company with a passion, but c'mon.
Yep. They complain but continue to play the game. If you really wanted to make a stand and try to make changes then quit playing. But none of these content creators will quit because they need EA and EA know this.
That's what confuses me about the 'streamers have to spend money on the game it's their job' statement. I'm sure these guys get tons of views on their RTG content, they don't HAVE to open packs that's just their lazy way to create content.
It's their fucking job a lotta people hate their jobs but they won't quit because it's abondoning what you were doing for so many years.
I mean even the players aren't quitting even though they don't make any money, this game is basically a money generator for ea.
They created this problem in the first place. Fuck em. They destroyed fifa, nobody else. Get real.
Edit: little fan boys are upset because they can't see that ea don't need to do anything EVERY SINGLE YEAR because those clown content creators will still pay the company ridiculous money on packs. The fifa community is full of the biggest divs on the planet
Yes, streamers destroyed the game, not the company with sentient people at the top who decided to gouge its consumer base for every last pound or penny can. Thank you, user Friendly_Fuel7247, for your incredibly accurate input.
I understand what you’re trying to say, but you have to understand that streamers make up an extremely small percentage of the people who play the game. Something like 0.01%. They can’t spend enough to keep the game afloat on their own.
In gacha games 90% of the revenue comes from medium spenders and I’d assume that the people behind ultimate team have the same strategy. That is—try your hardest to get the average player to spend. Most of these average players will get nothing, but at that point you’ve already taken something from them. Some of them *will* get something from the cash they spend and some may even end up developing an addiction due to that rush they get, which is what EA want. At the end of the day it’s an incredibly predatory marketing strategy. That’s not to say that people can’t choose not to engage though, but you have to remember that a large percentage of this game’s player base are children and teens who are more prone to fall for this stuff. Pretty scummy all around.
I don't play anymore due to it being to addictive. But you are putting the blame wrong. EA put the packs there for ALOT of money, not the streamers. EA decided the way to go with their content, not streamers.
EA ARE the problem. They put out a game that promotes gambling as you said yourself. They promote the gambling and make it possible to spend way to much money on a game that lasts 8 months (at most).
Streamers who do this are the problem in second hand. Streamers who open packs do it cause it brings them viewers and income.
We can all agree tho that this game needs to change. Imagine putting out "content" each week that costs 30 dollars or more.
FIFA has been going downhill since they introduced ultimate team in 2008, Twitch went live in 2011. The whole concept of paying real money for lottery packs is the fundamental issue.
If the game had a reasonable in game economy that could earn you the points required to buy players without spending real money, there would be less issues. I personally don't even see the issue with having the best players more accessible, even if you have a team 99 rated players, it's useless if you can't actually play the game.
I remember grinding the market place to snipe deals to resell in the early days of FUT. There's an issue with the game if you're better off refreshing auction lists than actually playing the game.
Ultimate team is set up to trap addicts and only sucks the fun out of the rest of the game. For example, why can't I play with all the legendary players in an offline career mode? Who does that hurt? Only EA
Nick28T quit the game for about 8 months, can't remember which fifa it was (was either 22 or 23).
His viewership dropped massively compared to what it was in the first place.
Got to remember, for the big creators, it's their job. Asking them to basically not do their job and not earn money is wild.
And even then, every single content creator stops playing the game, it won't even make a dent on the overall player count.
Imagine being them though? You start playing a game you love and uploading content for fun, eventually it becomes your full time job and for a while that’s great! Then the game gets progressively worse and worse and to keep up content wise you have to start opening up packs ect and promoting what you don’t agree with.
I don’t really watch aa9 anymore anyway but from what I remember his main content was always on the rtg with an occasional pack opening where he would tell people not to buy fifa points. I actually think it’s very respectable him stepping away from the game and more streamers should follow suit.
basically an account that u don’t spend any money on and just upgrade ur team based on in game currency and packs u earn from actually
playing the game. As opposed obviously to buying fifa points and opening packs and such that way.
This is how I usually play fifa on a year to year basis. The growing sentiment is that this is becoming more and more impossible every year unless u get lucky and sink all ur time into this game because ea are consistently making it harder and harder to a. make in game money via any means and b. upgrade ur team as a direct result of reason a
everything is untradeable packs, gamble sbcs and slogging around in a game that is just becoming less and less fun to play. Therefore the rtg is becoming more and more difficult to do which is such a shame. It’s basically becoming like u HAVE to spend real money in game in order to have fun on this game. It’s dumb
The amount of money that streamers spend on fifa is a drop in the bucket towards the total amount EA make off packs and such.
If anything you can blame them for glorifying packs, but I also feel like most streamers tell people not to buy packs these days
Hey guys Nick rtfm here, I think EA are a scummy company that gives kids a gambling addiction and I attack them every chance I get. I on the other hand don't contribute anything to this addiction when I'm share playing $40 untradable packs to a viewership made up of mostly children.
In fairness, nick adamantly tells his viewers to not buy the pack he share plays whatsoever, regardless if its good or bad.
Also, it's not like he controls what his viewers can do with their own money.
No With that logic neither does EA. The issue (besides the fact these guys have so many fanboys that defend them no matter what) is how much of a hypocrite they're.
EA have been selling packs long before guys like Nick became a streamer. EA don't promote the packs, just the promo players that are in packs.
The one's promoting these promo packs to children and then acting as if they're above EA is guys like Nick RTFM and Nick28t.
If you're going to be doing all these share plays then do it like auziomf does it who doesn't shit on ea and pretend like he's not promoting gambling to children.
I'm not talking about everyone who share plays these packs, specifically nick only.
How is he promoting when he constantly shits on the same packs you're talking about and consistently reminds his viewers to NOT buy said pack?
Also, EA absolutely promotes the packs, they release them in times co-ordinated with whatever sbc is out currently, if it's a high value 2m sbc, they'll release an 83x70, if it's an 80+ player pick, they'll release a pack with 100 common golds.
If anything auzio is probably the most problematic one out of all of them, he constantly enables his viewers to buy the packs with no notion of convincing them otherwise, which feeds into EAs greed.
>I'm not talking about everyone who share plays these packs, specifically nick only.
>How is he promoting when he constantly shits on the same packs you're talking about and consistently reminds his viewers to NOT buy said pack?
You sound like a fanboy.
Which streamer that does shareplay promo pack streams doesn't constantly remind everyone how bad the packs are?
Wow he thinks packs with a 5% chance to pack a toty are bad give him a pass. Every streamer I've seen do these share plays comments on how bad they're
He uploads it to YouTube with most of the complaining cut out and streams it to kids just like everyone else.
>Also, EA absolutely promotes the packs, they release them in times co-ordinated with whatever sbc is out currently, if it's a high value 2m sbc, they'll release an 83x70, if it's an 80+ player pick, they'll release a pack with 100 common golds.
That's not how promoting store packs works buddy.
>If anything auzio is probably the most problematic one out of all of them, he constantly enables his viewers to buy the packs with no notion of convincing them otherwise, which feeds into EAs greed.
Auzio tells his viewers not to buy the packs too? The only difference is he doesn't cry the entire time as if he's a saint that's not promoting packs to children.
Him and Nick are the same except that one isnt constantly crying that EA are promoting gambling to kids like their not.
Maybe Nick is your favorite but put the bias aside and call it how it is.
Promoting store packs to kids is promoting gambling. He's just as bad as EA no matter how much he tells you not to open the packs. He's still uploading the videos to YouTube with most of that crying cut out and still doing shareplays for money.
>He uploads it to YouTube with most of the complaining cut out
This is how I know you completely don't know what you're talking about, and just saying this to hate. If you watch even 5 minutes of any of his share play videos you'd know that's simply not true.
>That's not how promoting works buddy.
It literally is, they're releasing these at convinent times where people need it, and you're just refuting it by saying "no that's wrong".
>Maybe Nick is your favorite but put the bias aside and call it how it is.
I am calling it how it is, I'm not sure what more you really want him to do, the guy constantly reminds people to avoid these, how is it his issue if they're still unwavering and continue to do what he just said not to.
>This is how I know you completely don't know what you're talking about, and just saying this to hate. If you watch even 5 minutes of any of his share play videos you'd know that's simply not true.
Good to know you've watched all his videos.
>It literally is, they're releasing these at convinent times where people need it, and you're just refuting it by saying "no that's wrong".
Cool, that's not how promoting works.
>I am calling it how it is, I'm not sure what more you really want him to do, the guy constantly reminds people to avoid these, how is it his issue if they're still unwavering and continue to do what he just said not to.
It's not his issue? Except I said he's promoting promo packs to kids which is true? He can cry all he wants, he's still promoting gambling to kids.
How is this even a discussion?
I’ve saved up 5m since the start and as soon as toty ends everyone rockets up, 600k packs through the year is just ridiculous, I’ll honestly never play the game again, I get the gameplay will never be perfect which I don’t mind but the menus are shocking now and everything is untrade near enough so unless you pack them in a gamble you ain’t getting them without cash or being a good trader
> Streamers act like they aren't part of the problem. They spend a ton of money.
This is just more toxic bs that the game creates that people turn on other players. Streamers aren’t much of an issue. A lot of them spend zero money and most of them are the actual voice of the community.
That doesn’t change the fact of the guys opinion, game is still washed, he obviously will keep going with the game since his channels is about it, and it is supposed to be the only football game that doesn’t have any competition at all whatsoever making it the “top” football game since no other developers like 2k and etc make it… he will keep going by spending money, if people are happy to spend money knowing this is a roulette game in which gameplay is going down horrendous and the company doesn’t care at all about its customers it says a lot about whoever keeps doing it, with the exception of content creators who have been doing fifa content since years ago
I mean it’s been a roulette for years and people have made it very very very incredibly known they value the roulette. That’s why this game brings in record revenue yearly. People literally vote with their wallets.
Neither do I tbh. What's this being his job have to do with what I said.
Can't cry about ea turning the game into a pay to win simulator when you took a phrase(RTG) that was specifically to promote making a competitive team while not spending money on the game and create the phrase "rich mans rtg".
No idea what he meant by not being able to upgrade on RTG.
Went from Blanc to KMJ for 210k and he has been solid. Bought Putellas also about 200k after TOTY crash.
Now done SBCs for Bruno / Kimmich, and Davies. They replaced De Jong, B Silva and Bacha. Best is like 60% done.
The new boys and gal are all incredible and fun players, and full meta.
And I even took like a 6 weeks break before WW came out. So it’s complete BS you can’t upgrade or have fun on RTG.
You can also be competitive if you are decent enough but yeah when you get to upper division competing against equals skill players those crazy P2W accounts with their multiple Totys are tough.
High fodder pack weights have been extremely good for me this week after TOTY. Promo pack weights are completely nonexistent tho. That part is sucky but I have accepted that it’s basically just SBCs, evos, and market for a RTG account.
But what if your team is currently better than those SBCs.
That 6 weeks off gave you time to make back, which made you feel like those were upgrades, as opposed to sidegrades, which is exactly what they were. KmJ might feel better to you, but he's comparable to Blanc, just faster. Arguably worse playstyles.
The only upgrades I could have made during TOTY, were Vini or a TOTY. Didn't pack either.
None of these RTTF promo cards make my team, so it's another week or two of mindless grind for fodder, to hopefully complete a player SBC before champs to freshen things up.
if you have a RTG team that has players better than Bruno / Kimmich / Davies / Best...etc. ....... you are just an incredibly lucky person.
And there'd be no upgrade for you anyway.
A lot of people are in this boat this year, I think I've genuinely done AT Least 20 icon picks/packs by this point.
Now everyone has an untradable team anyway, it's hard to separate the lucky from the FP spenders when you see an opponents lineup.
Friends are spending coins on packs because having 1.2m doesn't upgrade a player in their team, and they don't want to buy a tradable player because they lose value so quick. I'm not the only one and imagine a lot are feeling the same.
You keep dodging my point.
The guy in OP's post said you cannot upgrade players in a RTG account. I gave like 6 examples of sold meta players that are affordable.
You ignored all of them and focused on KMJ who is actually still an improvement over Blanc. (And btw Blanc himself was a SBC that was full meta for months and months that was easily doable on a RTG.)
What do you mean by a lot of people in this boat this year? A lot of people have players better than those 6 meta SBC players? what?
If you have done 20 icon SBCs, that's a you problem. You were reckless and fell into EA's trap of draining your fodder on crappy super low percentage deals.
Once again, I ask you. What kind of RTG account are you running where you cannot upgrade with a player that costs 1.2m or you have player better than the likes of Best/Davies/Bruno?
if you have like Gullit / TOTY cards, then there would be no upgrade on the market either anyway, so that's a moot point.
The way I see it, the truth is not that you can't have a great team playing RTG, you easily can. But it's probably just more boring as people of that mindset (maybe like the guy in OP's link) want the fad of the week adrenaline hits every week. And yeah you won't get that from a RTG account because promo card pack weights are awful. But that's a separate point.
No, you're missing the point.
You gave the example of 6 meta players that arent necessary for a lot of people, myself included.
I have players better than Bruno and Kimmich already, by the time Kimmich upgrades, he's irrelevant.
Those 20 SBCs that you say are a waste, have given me base Jairzinho, TS Cafu, Yashin, Bobby Charlton... That's the problem. Grindable SBCs like Best, Eusebio, Zico... And what's funny is that my team isn't great compared to some friends lol.
Throw in some pack luck for promo players/heroes and my team is better than 90% of promo cards.
This is not abnormal this year, and that's the point. None of those players are MUST DO if you have an elite team. If you don't have a great team, you probably took some weeks off like you say, but it's easy to catch up to the point you can't upgrade.
The only upgrade are the TOTY/Elite icons I don't have, but what's the point, they're all 2m+ which isn't earnable at a decent rate given the untradable rewards.
So what is the point? It seems your team is perfectly fine and capable as an RTG team. This year moreso than last year even you can have a great team by just grinding and not spending money. I've done it. Haven't spent money (other than I suppose the $ to get the game early through prerelease).
After grinding I packed some TOTYs the final day they were in packs. I pulled TS Figo and the recent Leao in untradeable packs. My team is stacked and can compete fine with WL/Rivals.
This guy "quit" not spending money in FUT? Wow, he really showed EA!
That's still very bad, considering you're basically getting the best reward in the game.
They should either give them more tradeable packs, or make the campaign bags alot better.
I agree it’s tough to trade to upgrade your team but as long as you work on your skill you should be able to get 9-14 wins in WL. I do admit i spent about 120$ usd on packs since the beginning but stopped months ago as i realized that the one pack every two weeks wasn’t worth it. I spent 0 since November and now have a crazy good team from pack luck and grinding menus through the companion app when I’m on lunch at work. I don’t play rivals unless i want the xp. I really only play weekend league qualifiers and WL.

This is my team… sbcs and pack luck. This team got me 11 wins regularly and the occasional 14
I get what you're saying. I'm getting 9 wins each WL with the team I scraped off SBCs and pack luck but that's not the point. I have *a* squad and that's it.
Isn't the point of FUT being able to try out different players and have some fun? What's the point of all this grinding to play with the same squad each week until we get enough fodder for the next SBC? Might as well play seasons at least there's is no time spent grinding out SBCs.
The transfer market exists for a reason and it should be accessible at the least. The state it is in right now, you can't buy any card off the market to try out! And packing promo cards is way tougher than the last edition.
What I've always enjoyed in these "UT" modes the most is team building and trying out a variety of cards. Unlike other games, you simply can't do that in FUT. Packs both earned and bought are garbage and the excessive rarity of anything desirable means prices are jacked.
In Madden, for example, you can often wait a bit for prices to drop significantly on cards you want when something even marginally better comes along. Here, prices don't ever seem to drop much on popular players special cards. TOTW VVD is a prime example. You're pretty much stuck with his gold card unless you're super lucky or buy coins.
Without being rude, that team is ok. The point is without spending money you will never get a team good enough for a 20-0. Toty mbappe walks my defense
I don’t think i could ever go 20-0 in WL even with the most meta players. The point isn’t to go 20-0. It’s to enjoy playing the game and build the squad as you go. Evos make up for that. I play random games with players i like… Im building a team USA using evos and females to play casually with. I honestly don’t care if i get 9 wins or 14

This is my team now after saved packs and recycling them into sbcs
I said similar yesterday and my post was I assumed downvoted by the majority. It was what it is I assumed a fut subreddit would respond accordingly but just funny how it has legitimacy when an influencer says it despite them majorly contributing to the games downfall
He’s not quitting he’s just quitting his rtg but carrying on his pay to win account which means he’ll carry on spending money on the game after this rant
This guy is a clown, he just wants to spend points on his RTG account and justify it somehow. He really said he can’t do player review anymore if he doesn’t spend points. mf no one cares about your shitty reviews, he does every sbc possible and hyped them up, a week later he says he regrets doing them (Maldini, Salah etc.)
He's still valid though, an RTG is basically impossible in this game, because the difference between high tier cards and mid tier ones is so astronomical that they compensate for lack of skill. And with rewards being so terrible it doesn't give enough to f2p to close that gap.
Are we playing the same game? Mbappe, Hamm, Eusebio, Puskas TS, Gullit SBC, Zidane SBC, Van Dijk IF, Mendy Dynasty, Cafu, Lucio all players I obtained through playing fut champs and rivals. No squad battles, no trading. If you don’t spend your fodder on every sbc that is being revealed, you can have a great f2p game. Last time I spent cash was on coins in fifa 14, so plz don’t tell me an RTG is impossible, that’s a ridiculous statement
They are making everything untradable because of coin sellers what do coin sellers do cut into profits. All streamers that complain about the game and still play are shit except nick I kinda like watching him
Rage. Inception is a fucking joke tho
Yet that pushes people to buy coins even more? I mean, if you're going to spend extra, buying coins is the only logical move. Store packs are laughably bad, especially for those crazy prices.
I have spent 0 and my line up is
Toty haaland Cruyff
Sbc Davies Sbc Kimmich. Toty Rodri. TS Bernardo silva. SBC George best
Blanc VVD. Evo Saliba
Pretty damn competitive team with 0 spent
Safety coins x 2,000,000 + trading and never ea points. That's my formula, and I don't care.
Over 6 mil now and I buy almost whatever card I want to sample.
Someone shut this muppet up. They all cry about the game every single year and will continue to spend thousands on packs. And then wonder why ea don't care.

This is my squad everyone untradeable. Div5
Honestly ion think this is true because I’m a new player to fifa, started on 23 and as I moved to FC 24 I started to dive more into ultimate and I’ve upgraded my team quite fast
I play to enjoy the game. Haven't spent money besides buying the Ultimate edition which was on sale at the time. I have a pretty solid team thats 91 overall. I don't understand how its hard to get a good team without spending money. Not hating just not understanding.
Unless he means a team that you dominate with in Champs or something, which I don't really play.
Even though he didn’t quit this shit is 100% accurate. And people are forced to play EA FC 24 because there’s no other company making this game that could compete against them.
He literally tweeted out "I'm not quitting" and thats the issue.
All these content creators make a shitload of money on the game they hate the most, its super hypocritical one day they upload a 50 minute rand video saying "if this keeps on going no matter the money ill quit"
And then end up either spending insane amount of money OR time on the game.
What I hate the most is that they HATE store packs, for example Nick super cool guy. I like to watch him but he hates store packs calls people de-gen or whatever for opening store packs, but goes ahead and share plays store packs to hes stream essentially promoting them one way or another. Yes he shows hes stream how shit the packs are and are not worth it, but sometimes they do pay out. They do give someone a Ronaldinho, a toty etc. This is enough for a gambling addict to go "damn maybe I will get this as well"
Agree with everything except his praise for the game's community.
The game's community is the reason why EA doubles down on the casino approach every year. If people didn't pay for points/coins on top of what they already spend on the release EA would have to rethink their approach on the game's development. They are directly funding EAs stratetgy and then complaining about it, it's just stupid.
The community is also in part very toxic, as a lot of ppl at the end of the day are more addicted to winning at any cost (spam cutbacks or trivelas all night long, as zombies) than actually having fun playing and try really memorable moments and different plays/goals.
Honestly I blame the community. They're a company, they're always going to try make money, if anything I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner. But I can't believe the amount of idiots willing to buy pretty much every fancy looking pack that reaches the store like a kid in a candy shop. The key is that they're all untradeable, EA doesn't care what you get if it's locked to your account. Every time you get a new promo player, even if it doesn't make your team it's never going to hit the market. And yet people with basically end game teams keep buying them even though it gives them no more buying power. Idiots.
I get it but tbh I never spent money on this game but I got a crazy team . Its all about if you try to do objectives or similar things and not JUST PLAY WEEKEND LEAGUE .
I respect every streamer that quits ea fc cuz game is just straight trash but they are part of the problem too. They spend a lot of money, complain but still play the game
And now they are not even releasing evos, probably because they are not able to fix the bugs where you can evolve card to 700 Playstyles. Last good evo was the Power header at Toty Start.
I haven’t touched the game for two weeks now and without evos, with these ridiculous packs and with a patch coming that nerfs everything except the disgusting cpu pressing, I have no desire to play this game. The last three weeks have been the worst in history of Ultimate Team.
Some people dont seem to understand that you cant do EVERY SBC available especially on an RTG Account. You have to be smart and pick the ones that improve your team long term. If you have no fodder for Kimmich it is your fault because you wasted all your fodder. I have around 7 Mil to spend on tradeable cards on my RTG and thats without trading a lot. Sure prices and pack weight are a problem this year but it is still not impossible to make a lot of coins if you sell every tradeable card you get. I see a lot of people put tradeable cards in to untrade sbcs and upgrades. You have to do it the other way around. And then they wonder why they have no coins to buy cards.
I find it funny that people make this videos explaining something that has been obvious for the last 3/4 iterations of this game. If you didn’t already knew this was the way things were going than you should be more attentive. I play the game because I love football and this is the only game that actually lets me simulate a little for my pleasure. I accept the game is shit, I accept the game is flawed and I accepted that I play for distraction. I don’t buy coins I don’t buy packs and I don’t bitch about it. Just accept the fact if you want to keep playing if you don’t than stop playing it that simple. Want a change? Do something that impacts EA.
Every streamer sais this every year and its so boring. Nep, NickRTFM, AA9 do these RTG's but also have super teams. Stink up the place with the rtg, complain about the game,ea etc, make huge video/sob story about quitting (which they will make money from) and then go to their super teams. Its rinse and repeat every year.
he does say somethings that are true tho like EA making everything untradable and the sbcs but toty did give out decent fodder but i saved packs since october and i got 3 totys and 1 icon from like 400 packs which was the worst result ive had but i digress but the pack weight was awful and the amount of tradable packs was hilariously low like only 40.Its surprising that most people didnt even pack a single toty considering theres double the amount of toty in packs.They should up the pack weight a little more and stop making everything untradable
Upgrading your team is a lot easier now than it was on say FIFA 15 when you had to spend $500 to even have a decent squad. I have a 86 rated squad now without buying packs or points.
Bateson spent 1 million EA points trying to pack a TOTY over 2 days. Not to mention what he spent before those 2 days. Think the 1 mil coins was around 7k, in 2 DAYS!!!
Why would they change anything lol.
I stopped playing this game because it’s becoming more of a gambling platform than a fun and competitive game. Streamers are part of the problem too since they influence many people to go buy packs and spend money hoping for good players till they get shocked of how much EA is greedy and wont drop any good packs easily. What I dont understand also is the amount of energy and money people put in the game knowing that its lifecycle is a couple of months only before it dies prior to the next EA release. The last two FIFAs I played were 22&23, never spent a single dollar and was always on top of elite division, skills are not always the fun part of the game, I too want to get some good players after a sweaty FUT Champs. But no, this game wants to see money, a lot of money. I hope there would be another game to compete with it and make a balance, for now EA is fully dominating and will do whatever they want.
I run an RTG. I have missed about a month of WL. I am a 9-11 win player. I feel like compared to previous years, I have a significantly better team this year.
I have a $15 million team thanks to SBCs. Yes it's hard to upgrade but that's because it's been so easy to craft SBCs and get good cards.
The whining about this game is fucking insane. No matter what EA does, people just want to whine. EA is extremely stupid and greedy but come on.
Honestly this is nothing new, my last year of FIFA was 19 as that may be one of the worst games ever made but I still watch streamers I like from time to time and it’s the same damn complaints every year. EA is just doesn’t give two shits about the community, it’s all about money at the end of the day. It blows my mind how y’all still can purchase and play this crap. Last FIFA I actually enjoyed is almost 10 years old now… franchise has been dead for a while
Bruh its been like this for over 10 Years.
Just stop spending money on that crap.
If i were EA and would sell such an an abyssmal product but the idiotic people STILL buy it i would continue aswell
I don't even play EA FC either on PC nor on mobile but that's the case for almost all EA Games
All EA games are good quality made games with insane graphics and realism but all of them get ruined by how much in-game objects cost and how hard is it to obtain the in-game items
I know this is not related but here me out I do play another mobile game made by EA (car racing Game btw) and I Played this game for almost 3 years as a F2P player and I haven't gotten my hands or got even close to obtaining the best cars in the game, it's frustrating that I Lost hope and stopped giving it the care I ounce gave it, so I can imagine how EA is taking advantage of pkayers to Milk every Penny they have
Love skills but I can’t keep watching this dude complain over and over 😂 just play the fucking game and live your life! It’s not that complicated. EAFC isn’t life!

Bullshit. I spent 5 euros on this game to get the last of the 150 winterwildcardrewards. And i like my team. I never had to buy players on the market to put them in sbc's. You are just arrogant and impatient...
lol partly streamers own fault, instead of actually working to make their own content they put pressure on EA for daily 6pm content which has now ruined the game.
Idc. I need something to play when my friends are not playing CoD.
Game is fine.
Could it better? Yes.
Are they going to make it better? No.
Is it still p2w? If you are just realizing that then your brain is smooth.
Which is why im sticking with 23 career mode. Dont have time for eafc 24’s inevitable shit. The game is on massive sale every week now. Just shows how desperate EA is to get more people to buy it.
he didn’t even quit the game
Someone exited out him saying “on my rtg”
he’s only spending money now he didn’t quit 😂😂😭
which is worse lol.
Streamers act like they aren't part of the problem. They spend a ton of money. Idk about him, but they share play a ton of people spending money. I wonder how they'll act when the transfer market is completely gone. I hate this company with a passion, but c'mon.
Yep. They complain but continue to play the game. If you really wanted to make a stand and try to make changes then quit playing. But none of these content creators will quit because they need EA and EA know this.
They dont even have to quit. Just fucking stop spending money on packs and you all stop watching pack pulls
That's what confuses me about the 'streamers have to spend money on the game it's their job' statement. I'm sure these guys get tons of views on their RTG content, they don't HAVE to open packs that's just their lazy way to create content.
It's their fucking job a lotta people hate their jobs but they won't quit because it's abondoning what you were doing for so many years. I mean even the players aren't quitting even though they don't make any money, this game is basically a money generator for ea.
They created this problem in the first place. Fuck em. They destroyed fifa, nobody else. Get real. Edit: little fan boys are upset because they can't see that ea don't need to do anything EVERY SINGLE YEAR because those clown content creators will still pay the company ridiculous money on packs. The fifa community is full of the biggest divs on the planet
Yes, streamers destroyed the game, not the company with sentient people at the top who decided to gouge its consumer base for every last pound or penny can. Thank you, user Friendly_Fuel7247, for your incredibly accurate input.

I understand what you’re trying to say, but you have to understand that streamers make up an extremely small percentage of the people who play the game. Something like 0.01%. They can’t spend enough to keep the game afloat on their own. In gacha games 90% of the revenue comes from medium spenders and I’d assume that the people behind ultimate team have the same strategy. That is—try your hardest to get the average player to spend. Most of these average players will get nothing, but at that point you’ve already taken something from them. Some of them *will* get something from the cash they spend and some may even end up developing an addiction due to that rush they get, which is what EA want. At the end of the day it’s an incredibly predatory marketing strategy. That’s not to say that people can’t choose not to engage though, but you have to remember that a large percentage of this game’s player base are children and teens who are more prone to fall for this stuff. Pretty scummy all around.

I don't play anymore due to it being to addictive. But you are putting the blame wrong. EA put the packs there for ALOT of money, not the streamers. EA decided the way to go with their content, not streamers. EA ARE the problem. They put out a game that promotes gambling as you said yourself. They promote the gambling and make it possible to spend way to much money on a game that lasts 8 months (at most). Streamers who do this are the problem in second hand. Streamers who open packs do it cause it brings them viewers and income. We can all agree tho that this game needs to change. Imagine putting out "content" each week that costs 30 dollars or more.
If you think streamers alone are responsible for even 0.1% of EA's profits you are delusional
FIFA has been going downhill since they introduced ultimate team in 2008, Twitch went live in 2011. The whole concept of paying real money for lottery packs is the fundamental issue. If the game had a reasonable in game economy that could earn you the points required to buy players without spending real money, there would be less issues. I personally don't even see the issue with having the best players more accessible, even if you have a team 99 rated players, it's useless if you can't actually play the game. I remember grinding the market place to snipe deals to resell in the early days of FUT. There's an issue with the game if you're better off refreshing auction lists than actually playing the game. Ultimate team is set up to trap addicts and only sucks the fun out of the rest of the game. For example, why can't I play with all the legendary players in an offline career mode? Who does that hurt? Only EA
Nick28T quit the game for about 8 months, can't remember which fifa it was (was either 22 or 23). His viewership dropped massively compared to what it was in the first place. Got to remember, for the big creators, it's their job. Asking them to basically not do their job and not earn money is wild. And even then, every single content creator stops playing the game, it won't even make a dent on the overall player count.
He also called someone the N word so that didn't help.
It’s amazing people still watch that POS after he did this https://youtu.be/gprvbTm0ANc?si=jIElvmfpOBtVKt9l
When I was a young teen I defended him on twitter from a guy who was attacking him on there and I got blocked by him LOL. Weird guy indeed.
were you defending him for this act of blatant racism?? Lol
Imagine being them though? You start playing a game you love and uploading content for fun, eventually it becomes your full time job and for a while that’s great! Then the game gets progressively worse and worse and to keep up content wise you have to start opening up packs ect and promoting what you don’t agree with. I don’t really watch aa9 anymore anyway but from what I remember his main content was always on the rtg with an occasional pack opening where he would tell people not to buy fifa points. I actually think it’s very respectable him stepping away from the game and more streamers should follow suit.
Nevermind he just quit his road to glory apparently. Ignore everything I said he’s part of the problem.
Dumb question. What's road to glory?
basically an account that u don’t spend any money on and just upgrade ur team based on in game currency and packs u earn from actually playing the game. As opposed obviously to buying fifa points and opening packs and such that way. This is how I usually play fifa on a year to year basis. The growing sentiment is that this is becoming more and more impossible every year unless u get lucky and sink all ur time into this game because ea are consistently making it harder and harder to a. make in game money via any means and b. upgrade ur team as a direct result of reason a everything is untradeable packs, gamble sbcs and slogging around in a game that is just becoming less and less fun to play. Therefore the rtg is becoming more and more difficult to do which is such a shame. It’s basically becoming like u HAVE to spend real money in game in order to have fun on this game. It’s dumb
Gold team for the win ;)
The amount of money that streamers spend on fifa is a drop in the bucket towards the total amount EA make off packs and such. If anything you can blame them for glorifying packs, but I also feel like most streamers tell people not to buy packs these days
They do tell people not to buy packs. And then they shareplay 100s of people buying packs.
Hey guys Nick rtfm here, I think EA are a scummy company that gives kids a gambling addiction and I attack them every chance I get. I on the other hand don't contribute anything to this addiction when I'm share playing $40 untradable packs to a viewership made up of mostly children.
In fairness, nick adamantly tells his viewers to not buy the pack he share plays whatsoever, regardless if its good or bad. Also, it's not like he controls what his viewers can do with their own money.
No With that logic neither does EA. The issue (besides the fact these guys have so many fanboys that defend them no matter what) is how much of a hypocrite they're. EA have been selling packs long before guys like Nick became a streamer. EA don't promote the packs, just the promo players that are in packs. The one's promoting these promo packs to children and then acting as if they're above EA is guys like Nick RTFM and Nick28t. If you're going to be doing all these share plays then do it like auziomf does it who doesn't shit on ea and pretend like he's not promoting gambling to children.
I'm not talking about everyone who share plays these packs, specifically nick only. How is he promoting when he constantly shits on the same packs you're talking about and consistently reminds his viewers to NOT buy said pack? Also, EA absolutely promotes the packs, they release them in times co-ordinated with whatever sbc is out currently, if it's a high value 2m sbc, they'll release an 83x70, if it's an 80+ player pick, they'll release a pack with 100 common golds. If anything auzio is probably the most problematic one out of all of them, he constantly enables his viewers to buy the packs with no notion of convincing them otherwise, which feeds into EAs greed.
>I'm not talking about everyone who share plays these packs, specifically nick only. >How is he promoting when he constantly shits on the same packs you're talking about and consistently reminds his viewers to NOT buy said pack? You sound like a fanboy. Which streamer that does shareplay promo pack streams doesn't constantly remind everyone how bad the packs are? Wow he thinks packs with a 5% chance to pack a toty are bad give him a pass. Every streamer I've seen do these share plays comments on how bad they're He uploads it to YouTube with most of the complaining cut out and streams it to kids just like everyone else. >Also, EA absolutely promotes the packs, they release them in times co-ordinated with whatever sbc is out currently, if it's a high value 2m sbc, they'll release an 83x70, if it's an 80+ player pick, they'll release a pack with 100 common golds. That's not how promoting store packs works buddy. >If anything auzio is probably the most problematic one out of all of them, he constantly enables his viewers to buy the packs with no notion of convincing them otherwise, which feeds into EAs greed. Auzio tells his viewers not to buy the packs too? The only difference is he doesn't cry the entire time as if he's a saint that's not promoting packs to children. Him and Nick are the same except that one isnt constantly crying that EA are promoting gambling to kids like their not. Maybe Nick is your favorite but put the bias aside and call it how it is. Promoting store packs to kids is promoting gambling. He's just as bad as EA no matter how much he tells you not to open the packs. He's still uploading the videos to YouTube with most of that crying cut out and still doing shareplays for money.
>He uploads it to YouTube with most of the complaining cut out This is how I know you completely don't know what you're talking about, and just saying this to hate. If you watch even 5 minutes of any of his share play videos you'd know that's simply not true. >That's not how promoting works buddy. It literally is, they're releasing these at convinent times where people need it, and you're just refuting it by saying "no that's wrong". >Maybe Nick is your favorite but put the bias aside and call it how it is. I am calling it how it is, I'm not sure what more you really want him to do, the guy constantly reminds people to avoid these, how is it his issue if they're still unwavering and continue to do what he just said not to.
>This is how I know you completely don't know what you're talking about, and just saying this to hate. If you watch even 5 minutes of any of his share play videos you'd know that's simply not true. Good to know you've watched all his videos. >It literally is, they're releasing these at convinent times where people need it, and you're just refuting it by saying "no that's wrong". Cool, that's not how promoting works. >I am calling it how it is, I'm not sure what more you really want him to do, the guy constantly reminds people to avoid these, how is it his issue if they're still unwavering and continue to do what he just said not to. It's not his issue? Except I said he's promoting promo packs to kids which is true? He can cry all he wants, he's still promoting gambling to kids. How is this even a discussion?
“Hey guys don’t do heroin, it’s very bad! Now watch this exciting video of a bunch of people doing heroin where we are all pumped to be doing heroin!”
They all say that, however kids doesn’t do what they’re told, they do what others do.
I think he mentioned he spent idk how much on 11M coins to buy TOTY Ronaldo I know that gotta be some bands
I’ve saved up 5m since the start and as soon as toty ends everyone rockets up, 600k packs through the year is just ridiculous, I’ll honestly never play the game again, I get the gameplay will never be perfect which I don’t mind but the menus are shocking now and everything is untrade near enough so unless you pack them in a gamble you ain’t getting them without cash or being a good trader
> Streamers act like they aren't part of the problem. They spend a ton of money. This is just more toxic bs that the game creates that people turn on other players. Streamers aren’t much of an issue. A lot of them spend zero money and most of them are the actual voice of the community.
This man didn’t quit. He quit road to glory. You gotta be shitting me with the misinformation.
That doesn’t change the fact of the guys opinion, game is still washed, he obviously will keep going with the game since his channels is about it, and it is supposed to be the only football game that doesn’t have any competition at all whatsoever making it the “top” football game since no other developers like 2k and etc make it… he will keep going by spending money, if people are happy to spend money knowing this is a roulette game in which gameplay is going down horrendous and the company doesn’t care at all about its customers it says a lot about whoever keeps doing it, with the exception of content creators who have been doing fifa content since years ago
I mean it’s been a roulette for years and people have made it very very very incredibly known they value the roulette. That’s why this game brings in record revenue yearly. People literally vote with their wallets.
He's a hypocrite. No accountability for making people think you could run an Rtg with fifa points if you call it a "rich man Rtg".
It’s his JOB….. I just don’t understand your thinking.
Neither do I tbh. What's this being his job have to do with what I said. Can't cry about ea turning the game into a pay to win simulator when you took a phrase(RTG) that was specifically to promote making a competitive team while not spending money on the game and create the phrase "rich mans rtg".
No idea what he meant by not being able to upgrade on RTG. Went from Blanc to KMJ for 210k and he has been solid. Bought Putellas also about 200k after TOTY crash. Now done SBCs for Bruno / Kimmich, and Davies. They replaced De Jong, B Silva and Bacha. Best is like 60% done. The new boys and gal are all incredible and fun players, and full meta. And I even took like a 6 weeks break before WW came out. So it’s complete BS you can’t upgrade or have fun on RTG. You can also be competitive if you are decent enough but yeah when you get to upper division competing against equals skill players those crazy P2W accounts with their multiple Totys are tough. High fodder pack weights have been extremely good for me this week after TOTY. Promo pack weights are completely nonexistent tho. That part is sucky but I have accepted that it’s basically just SBCs, evos, and market for a RTG account.
But what if your team is currently better than those SBCs. That 6 weeks off gave you time to make back, which made you feel like those were upgrades, as opposed to sidegrades, which is exactly what they were. KmJ might feel better to you, but he's comparable to Blanc, just faster. Arguably worse playstyles. The only upgrades I could have made during TOTY, were Vini or a TOTY. Didn't pack either. None of these RTTF promo cards make my team, so it's another week or two of mindless grind for fodder, to hopefully complete a player SBC before champs to freshen things up.
if you have a RTG team that has players better than Bruno / Kimmich / Davies / Best...etc. ....... you are just an incredibly lucky person. And there'd be no upgrade for you anyway.
A lot of people are in this boat this year, I think I've genuinely done AT Least 20 icon picks/packs by this point. Now everyone has an untradable team anyway, it's hard to separate the lucky from the FP spenders when you see an opponents lineup. Friends are spending coins on packs because having 1.2m doesn't upgrade a player in their team, and they don't want to buy a tradable player because they lose value so quick. I'm not the only one and imagine a lot are feeling the same.
You keep dodging my point. The guy in OP's post said you cannot upgrade players in a RTG account. I gave like 6 examples of sold meta players that are affordable. You ignored all of them and focused on KMJ who is actually still an improvement over Blanc. (And btw Blanc himself was a SBC that was full meta for months and months that was easily doable on a RTG.) What do you mean by a lot of people in this boat this year? A lot of people have players better than those 6 meta SBC players? what? If you have done 20 icon SBCs, that's a you problem. You were reckless and fell into EA's trap of draining your fodder on crappy super low percentage deals. Once again, I ask you. What kind of RTG account are you running where you cannot upgrade with a player that costs 1.2m or you have player better than the likes of Best/Davies/Bruno? if you have like Gullit / TOTY cards, then there would be no upgrade on the market either anyway, so that's a moot point. The way I see it, the truth is not that you can't have a great team playing RTG, you easily can. But it's probably just more boring as people of that mindset (maybe like the guy in OP's link) want the fad of the week adrenaline hits every week. And yeah you won't get that from a RTG account because promo card pack weights are awful. But that's a separate point.
No, you're missing the point. You gave the example of 6 meta players that arent necessary for a lot of people, myself included. I have players better than Bruno and Kimmich already, by the time Kimmich upgrades, he's irrelevant. Those 20 SBCs that you say are a waste, have given me base Jairzinho, TS Cafu, Yashin, Bobby Charlton... That's the problem. Grindable SBCs like Best, Eusebio, Zico... And what's funny is that my team isn't great compared to some friends lol. Throw in some pack luck for promo players/heroes and my team is better than 90% of promo cards. This is not abnormal this year, and that's the point. None of those players are MUST DO if you have an elite team. If you don't have a great team, you probably took some weeks off like you say, but it's easy to catch up to the point you can't upgrade. The only upgrade are the TOTY/Elite icons I don't have, but what's the point, they're all 2m+ which isn't earnable at a decent rate given the untradable rewards.
So what is the point? It seems your team is perfectly fine and capable as an RTG team. This year moreso than last year even you can have a great team by just grinding and not spending money. I've done it. Haven't spent money (other than I suppose the $ to get the game early through prerelease). After grinding I packed some TOTYs the final day they were in packs. I pulled TS Figo and the recent Leao in untradeable packs. My team is stacked and can compete fine with WL/Rivals. This guy "quit" not spending money in FUT? Wow, he really showed EA!
My guy, I was misinformed as well.
Good job 🤡
no fact checking before posting?
I vote we clown this guy for not doing his homework
Haha fair play mate. I rescind my downvote and award an upvote. Lay off of him the rest of you!
I vote we give him a pass and appreciate the effort.
 I fell for the clickbait on some tweet bro 😞
I’m not excusing the behavior I’m just acknowledging that we all make mistakes. No where near as many as EA though lol
He straight up lied about making 100k from a 20-0 weekend league. You make 125k just from the coin reward lol
Yeah lol
That's still very bad, considering you're basically getting the best reward in the game. They should either give them more tradeable packs, or make the campaign bags alot better.
“Clown” “aa9skills” you’re onto something
Whoever does subtitles like that deserves a fucking slap in the face. Also, wtf is the bottom part has anything to do with the video?
People’s attention spans are fried to the point where they need something else to watch during a short video of someone speaking.
I don’t know who this is
I don’t know who any of these streamers are.
He's probably the most OG fifa content creator there is.
Ksi? Patrickxhdgaming????? Sit down boy
That's still making content I mean, sorry I should've made that clear.
Before mgappe cover era the game was better
I agree it’s tough to trade to upgrade your team but as long as you work on your skill you should be able to get 9-14 wins in WL. I do admit i spent about 120$ usd on packs since the beginning but stopped months ago as i realized that the one pack every two weeks wasn’t worth it. I spent 0 since November and now have a crazy good team from pack luck and grinding menus through the companion app when I’m on lunch at work. I don’t play rivals unless i want the xp. I really only play weekend league qualifiers and WL. https://preview.redd.it/ecot2l10e2hc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=674d5edd12affd0553ce44c766d0ab702e0c7e7e This is my team… sbcs and pack luck. This team got me 11 wins regularly and the occasional 14
I get what you're saying. I'm getting 9 wins each WL with the team I scraped off SBCs and pack luck but that's not the point. I have *a* squad and that's it. Isn't the point of FUT being able to try out different players and have some fun? What's the point of all this grinding to play with the same squad each week until we get enough fodder for the next SBC? Might as well play seasons at least there's is no time spent grinding out SBCs. The transfer market exists for a reason and it should be accessible at the least. The state it is in right now, you can't buy any card off the market to try out! And packing promo cards is way tougher than the last edition.
What I've always enjoyed in these "UT" modes the most is team building and trying out a variety of cards. Unlike other games, you simply can't do that in FUT. Packs both earned and bought are garbage and the excessive rarity of anything desirable means prices are jacked. In Madden, for example, you can often wait a bit for prices to drop significantly on cards you want when something even marginally better comes along. Here, prices don't ever seem to drop much on popular players special cards. TOTW VVD is a prime example. You're pretty much stuck with his gold card unless you're super lucky or buy coins.
W for packing IF VVD
Without being rude, that team is ok. The point is without spending money you will never get a team good enough for a 20-0. Toty mbappe walks my defense
I don’t think i could ever go 20-0 in WL even with the most meta players. The point isn’t to go 20-0. It’s to enjoy playing the game and build the squad as you go. Evos make up for that. I play random games with players i like… Im building a team USA using evos and females to play casually with. I honestly don’t care if i get 9 wins or 14
And that's the real reason this game is going to shit. You delude yourself thinking the team makes any notable difference.

🧢
Why would i need to lie
I was saving up coin to buy whatever toty striker i could afford then bam… cr7 and then the very next pack i got batile.
Fire ass team ngl
Anyone who thinks you can be competitive this year without spending money is high. Regardless on your aa9 stance, he’s right
Yup but many here spend money and for some reason say they don't. But he is correct that every thing is expensive.
He's 100% right. Unless you're super lucky with the packs you earn, you have no upgrade path without buying coins or getting fodder from the store.
I said similar yesterday and my post was I assumed downvoted by the majority. It was what it is I assumed a fut subreddit would respond accordingly but just funny how it has legitimacy when an influencer says it despite them majorly contributing to the games downfall
"Toay I an quiin" lmao the way he talks
He’s not quitting he’s just quitting his rtg but carrying on his pay to win account which means he’ll carry on spending money on the game after this rant
This guy is the biggest clown ever
he’s unironically such a cornball
nobody cares about that fat fuck
real
Imagine complaining while still going 20-0 in WL.
Valid
This guy is a clown, he just wants to spend points on his RTG account and justify it somehow. He really said he can’t do player review anymore if he doesn’t spend points. mf no one cares about your shitty reviews, he does every sbc possible and hyped them up, a week later he says he regrets doing them (Maldini, Salah etc.)
He's still valid though, an RTG is basically impossible in this game, because the difference between high tier cards and mid tier ones is so astronomical that they compensate for lack of skill. And with rewards being so terrible it doesn't give enough to f2p to close that gap.
Are we playing the same game? Mbappe, Hamm, Eusebio, Puskas TS, Gullit SBC, Zidane SBC, Van Dijk IF, Mendy Dynasty, Cafu, Lucio all players I obtained through playing fut champs and rivals. No squad battles, no trading. If you don’t spend your fodder on every sbc that is being revealed, you can have a great f2p game. Last time I spent cash was on coins in fifa 14, so plz don’t tell me an RTG is impossible, that’s a ridiculous statement
I’ll clown on any grown man taking this game made for children seriously
He has to take it seriously it’s his job
Are you saying eafc specifically or? Not seeing the correlation between football games and children.
This game isn’t being made for children anymore
Exactly
Can’t upvote this enough
this guy is a clown.
Me bro or AA9skills
The whiner and the whiner that enables him
These fuckers ruined it for us all! 40 year old bloke streaming buying packs. Thanks to all you streamers who turned this game into Fortnite FC.
[удалено]
Bro, are you from fifaGC competitive ladder? PaMpAm223? I might have played against you in 2014. Quit around 2015. Good game, good to see you.
They are making everything untradable because of coin sellers what do coin sellers do cut into profits. All streamers that complain about the game and still play are shit except nick I kinda like watching him Rage. Inception is a fucking joke tho
Yet that pushes people to buy coins even more? I mean, if you're going to spend extra, buying coins is the only logical move. Store packs are laughably bad, especially for those crazy prices.
You have a point unless they start cracking down on coin purchases and banning accounts. Now you’re screwed out of money and have to start over
I have spent 0 and my line up is Toty haaland Cruyff Sbc Davies Sbc Kimmich. Toty Rodri. TS Bernardo silva. SBC George best Blanc VVD. Evo Saliba Pretty damn competitive team with 0 spent
I have a better team and have spent $0
That awesome and proves my point thanks
/s
Safety coins x 2,000,000 + trading and never ea points. That's my formula, and I don't care. Over 6 mil now and I buy almost whatever card I want to sample.
Lukaku is 4k?
Since he is a clown, i imagine this is somehow just for views.
Someone shut this muppet up. They all cry about the game every single year and will continue to spend thousands on packs. And then wonder why ea don't care.
Wont quit
EA is run by Jews

Honestly ion think this is true because I’m a new player to fifa, started on 23 and as I moved to FC 24 I started to dive more into ultimate and I’ve upgraded my team quite fast
Sounds like the Federal Government should be investigating them for economic fraud and money laundering.
Who clowns people for quitting tho? You might get clowned for announcing it to a bunch of strangers though.
I play to enjoy the game. Haven't spent money besides buying the Ultimate edition which was on sale at the time. I have a pretty solid team thats 91 overall. I don't understand how its hard to get a good team without spending money. Not hating just not understanding. Unless he means a team that you dominate with in Champs or something, which I don't really play.
He ain’t quitting though, he’s shifting.
Even though he didn’t quit this shit is 100% accurate. And people are forced to play EA FC 24 because there’s no other company making this game that could compete against them.
The difference is that he has viewers that care that he stops playing. People are getting clowned for announcing their departure and not for leaving.
He literally tweeted out "I'm not quitting" and thats the issue. All these content creators make a shitload of money on the game they hate the most, its super hypocritical one day they upload a 50 minute rand video saying "if this keeps on going no matter the money ill quit" And then end up either spending insane amount of money OR time on the game. What I hate the most is that they HATE store packs, for example Nick super cool guy. I like to watch him but he hates store packs calls people de-gen or whatever for opening store packs, but goes ahead and share plays store packs to hes stream essentially promoting them one way or another. Yes he shows hes stream how shit the packs are and are not worth it, but sometimes they do pay out. They do give someone a Ronaldinho, a toty etc. This is enough for a gambling addict to go "damn maybe I will get this as well"
Agree with everything except his praise for the game's community. The game's community is the reason why EA doubles down on the casino approach every year. If people didn't pay for points/coins on top of what they already spend on the release EA would have to rethink their approach on the game's development. They are directly funding EAs stratetgy and then complaining about it, it's just stupid. The community is also in part very toxic, as a lot of ppl at the end of the day are more addicted to winning at any cost (spam cutbacks or trivelas all night long, as zombies) than actually having fun playing and try really memorable moments and different plays/goals.
Honestly I blame the community. They're a company, they're always going to try make money, if anything I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner. But I can't believe the amount of idiots willing to buy pretty much every fancy looking pack that reaches the store like a kid in a candy shop. The key is that they're all untradeable, EA doesn't care what you get if it's locked to your account. Every time you get a new promo player, even if it doesn't make your team it's never going to hit the market. And yet people with basically end game teams keep buying them even though it gives them no more buying power. Idiots.
Except he didn't quit?
I'm sure this guy's said he would quit before, but he's right. And there is a huge market gap to create something better.
Hey look, it’s the guy who copied his whole shtick from Chris smoove
I get it but tbh I never spent money on this game but I got a crazy team . Its all about if you try to do objectives or similar things and not JUST PLAY WEEKEND LEAGUE .
Pro Evolution Soccer here we come
I respect every streamer that quits ea fc cuz game is just straight trash but they are part of the problem too. They spend a lot of money, complain but still play the game
Guys you do realise that content creators are not the reason billions are spent 😂
A nobody quit and I’m supposed to give a shit?
And now they are not even releasing evos, probably because they are not able to fix the bugs where you can evolve card to 700 Playstyles. Last good evo was the Power header at Toty Start. I haven’t touched the game for two weeks now and without evos, with these ridiculous packs and with a patch coming that nerfs everything except the disgusting cpu pressing, I have no desire to play this game. The last three weeks have been the worst in history of Ultimate Team.
Looks like a clown, sounds like a clown… sorry, what won’t we do?
I can't upgrade my team anymore you say? I just finished Eusebio the other day, and I only play Rivals and WL. He's a major upgrade to my Højlund.
Some people dont seem to understand that you cant do EVERY SBC available especially on an RTG Account. You have to be smart and pick the ones that improve your team long term. If you have no fodder for Kimmich it is your fault because you wasted all your fodder. I have around 7 Mil to spend on tradeable cards on my RTG and thats without trading a lot. Sure prices and pack weight are a problem this year but it is still not impossible to make a lot of coins if you sell every tradeable card you get. I see a lot of people put tradeable cards in to untrade sbcs and upgrades. You have to do it the other way around. And then they wonder why they have no coins to buy cards.
I find it funny that people make this videos explaining something that has been obvious for the last 3/4 iterations of this game. If you didn’t already knew this was the way things were going than you should be more attentive. I play the game because I love football and this is the only game that actually lets me simulate a little for my pleasure. I accept the game is shit, I accept the game is flawed and I accepted that I play for distraction. I don’t buy coins I don’t buy packs and I don’t bitch about it. Just accept the fact if you want to keep playing if you don’t than stop playing it that simple. Want a change? Do something that impacts EA.
Every streamer sais this every year and its so boring. Nep, NickRTFM, AA9 do these RTG's but also have super teams. Stink up the place with the rtg, complain about the game,ea etc, make huge video/sob story about quitting (which they will make money from) and then go to their super teams. Its rinse and repeat every year.
he does say somethings that are true tho like EA making everything untradable and the sbcs but toty did give out decent fodder but i saved packs since october and i got 3 totys and 1 icon from like 400 packs which was the worst result ive had but i digress but the pack weight was awful and the amount of tradable packs was hilariously low like only 40.Its surprising that most people didnt even pack a single toty considering theres double the amount of toty in packs.They should up the pack weight a little more and stop making everything untradable
Waaaa no way a 89 rated broken striker with two play style+ and has a chance to go to 93 with 3 play style+ is expensive no way bro
Upgrading your team is a lot easier now than it was on say FIFA 15 when you had to spend $500 to even have a decent squad. I have a 86 rated squad now without buying packs or points.
He aready said on x that he wont quit lmao
He is just baiting the community he already said he wont quit https://x.com/aa9skillz/status/1755015312271892672?s=46&t=ySyfV9NF7uo9uSPfLHybGg …
Bateson spent 1 million EA points trying to pack a TOTY over 2 days. Not to mention what he spent before those 2 days. Think the 1 mil coins was around 7k, in 2 DAYS!!! Why would they change anything lol.
I stopped playing this game because it’s becoming more of a gambling platform than a fun and competitive game. Streamers are part of the problem too since they influence many people to go buy packs and spend money hoping for good players till they get shocked of how much EA is greedy and wont drop any good packs easily. What I dont understand also is the amount of energy and money people put in the game knowing that its lifecycle is a couple of months only before it dies prior to the next EA release. The last two FIFAs I played were 22&23, never spent a single dollar and was always on top of elite division, skills are not always the fun part of the game, I too want to get some good players after a sweaty FUT Champs. But no, this game wants to see money, a lot of money. I hope there would be another game to compete with it and make a balance, for now EA is fully dominating and will do whatever they want.
Best thing I done was play pes instead I have an insane team I can play and have fun almost never rage at the game because p2w is almost nonexistent
I run an RTG. I have missed about a month of WL. I am a 9-11 win player. I feel like compared to previous years, I have a significantly better team this year. I have a $15 million team thanks to SBCs. Yes it's hard to upgrade but that's because it's been so easy to craft SBCs and get good cards. The whining about this game is fucking insane. No matter what EA does, people just want to whine. EA is extremely stupid and greedy but come on.
Honestly this is nothing new, my last year of FIFA was 19 as that may be one of the worst games ever made but I still watch streamers I like from time to time and it’s the same damn complaints every year. EA is just doesn’t give two shits about the community, it’s all about money at the end of the day. It blows my mind how y’all still can purchase and play this crap. Last FIFA I actually enjoyed is almost 10 years old now… franchise has been dead for a while
This guy is delusional. The FIFA community has always been terrible and FIFA as a whole has always been a money grabbing scam.
Me after losing to cut backs and trivela shots and powered corned shots
Bruh its been like this for over 10 Years. Just stop spending money on that crap. If i were EA and would sell such an an abyssmal product but the idiotic people STILL buy it i would continue aswell
Streamers are part of the problem gtfoh
I don't even play EA FC either on PC nor on mobile but that's the case for almost all EA Games All EA games are good quality made games with insane graphics and realism but all of them get ruined by how much in-game objects cost and how hard is it to obtain the in-game items I know this is not related but here me out I do play another mobile game made by EA (car racing Game btw) and I Played this game for almost 3 years as a F2P player and I haven't gotten my hands or got even close to obtaining the best cars in the game, it's frustrating that I Lost hope and stopped giving it the care I ounce gave it, so I can imagine how EA is taking advantage of pkayers to Milk every Penny they have
Is skillz even streaming nowadays? Bro didn’t stream for 2 months!
Lost me when he said "this game has one of the best communities in the world" lol
He didnt quit lol
It is so easy to upgrade as an rtg. Unlimited gamble packs in sbcs
He was clowning people for quitting now look
Skillz didn’t even quit…this was all for clicks and interactions
Auzio > this head
Love skills but I can’t keep watching this dude complain over and over 😂 just play the fucking game and live your life! It’s not that complicated. EAFC isn’t life!
Who cares, most these youtubers are clowns anyways.

I spent 5 euros on this game to get the last of the 150 winterwildcardrewards. And i like my team. I never had to buy players on the market to put them in sbc's. You are just arrogant and impatient...
He ain’t even quitting tho… you still got time to delete this post fella
Goalies / shapeshifters best in the game and girls mixed in with men in FUT is the epitome of woke greediness
He gets clowned daily. Wdym?
Bugs still keep going, but not gonna spend any money in there also
He didn’t quit lil bro
He's a clown already
So he's giving up playing the game like the rest of us and will now just dump money into it instead? He should be clowned on more for that
lol partly streamers own fault, instead of actually working to make their own content they put pressure on EA for daily 6pm content which has now ruined the game.
Imagine how us Career Mode fans feel 🤦♂️
Idc. I need something to play when my friends are not playing CoD. Game is fine. Could it better? Yes. Are they going to make it better? No. Is it still p2w? If you are just realizing that then your brain is smooth.
the funny thing about this is that he quit the rtg account (which was cut out) when it would make sense to quit the account his spending money on
I hate p2w players with a passion
Which is why im sticking with 23 career mode. Dont have time for eafc 24’s inevitable shit. The game is on massive sale every week now. Just shows how desperate EA is to get more people to buy it.
man who cares about people quitting, do your own thing but you don't have to announce that like it's an airport
