it's so insane that all the pros are effectively required to spend like $2000 on points, it's basically an entry fee to be sure you qualify for the events since you have to win a certain amount

there's nothing else like it in professional gaming as far as I know

Lol I checked a few streams and they're all just dudes opening pack after pack after pack, quick selling everything that isn't an walk-out.
This is ridiculous if you think about it.

yeah, people love to watch pack openings, so all the big streamers and youtubers dump tens of thousands of dollars every year doing this and make it back many times over from their various revenue sources.

A lot of them are getting their packs comp'd by EA, for advertising purposes.

The handful of big streamers that are 'gamechangers' get a couple hundred dollars a month in gift cards as a way of 'comping' some packs but these are people spending 20000 dollars at once when the game launches, and at other times like the TOTY/TOTS releases. Mostly they're spending their own money, its just the most popular type of content and absolutely pays itself back for them, and can also be written off as a business expense for tax purposes obviously.

I think I use Tele or Broadcast but high and zoomed out. I like to see as much of the field as possible.

Also apparently career mode is a complete disaster and people are losing their minds on Twitter. EA promising to patch it as soon as they can but it seems pretty obvious they didn’t test poo poo in that mode at all. Because duh, they literally only care about FUT and whatever other loot crate nonsense

There's a whole list of bugs/stuff in this reddit thread.
Stuff like the AI fielding a team full of reserves, selections that aren't up to date, the inability to change the formation of certain players etc.

By the way, the Dutch commentary in this game is awful. Like really really bad.
Yesterday I had a guy running on the wing and the commentator goes: "Look at that speed, it's like he's riding a bike *makes engine noises*". Or when I was playing some match in a stadium in Rome: "I remember this stadion from the Olympics. We got to stay in x hotel and we could use the Olympic pool, with the 10m diving boards *makes water splashing noise*".

What the gently caress.

The game feels very similar to me overall but the defense is a bit easier for sure and as someone said the bullshit loose balls after tackles and repeated chances for the offense seem mostly gone. I think they toned down the scripting that gave teams an offensive advantage when the other team was ahead or the scores were level after both teams scored also... but it's still new days.

The scoring is still absurdly high, I played with a random PCN pro clubs team as their CAM for 8 games and we won 7 and came from 3 behind to draw the 8th game. I had 10 goals and 6 assists in those 8 games... similar levels to last year and my guy is currently only an 82.

How many and what kind of fut matches do I have to play to unlock the transfer market in the web app? I would much rather do my sbcs and other shopping on my pc or phone. Also, can you no longer hold duplicate cards? I feel like I'm forced to sell now if I get a dupe.

They won’t tell you and supposedly it’s completely random and different for every user (which is a load of bullshit). If you contact customer support and complain enough it will magically be unlocked.

You never could hold duplicate cards except in your transfer pile.

Checked out futbin to see the card ratings this year. If anyone wants free coins by as many If kolarovs for 15k or less as you can. Every year he gets an IF and it goes to 40k quick because high rated fullbacks are rare and IF fullbacks even more so.

I took last year off as well, and the thing that annoys me is that my FUT club is gone. What The FC was founded in 2010 or something and now it's gone. The game generated Roma AC as my club and I don't even know how to change that. A minor thing but it annoys me so much. You'd think they would just tie that club to your account. But they don't for some reason?
