held such promise thanks to big changes to Career Mode, new on-pitch improvements, and some streamlining of Ultimate Team systems, but it appears that's been eroded away with some of the fanbase, despite some still happy to pay for 'fire' cards. Over on the game's subreddit, about the game's suggested 'fall off', pointing to poor rewards and Ultimate Team promos. "You can see what EA are trying to achieve, by forcing players into buy store packs.
But why would we do that?" the original poster opines. "If anything, you're pissing a majority of your player base off and we're all moving to another game" they add, pointing to how much fun they've been having with instead of EA FC. One player agreed, saying they "love" the drop off and saying "this year is different".
EA FC players complaining about the game's systems and rewards certainly happens just about every year, but it feels like the game is taking more criticism than it perhaps usually would. "EA loves getting rid of the skill gap because that means less players will quit = more players buying packs..
period.. they only care about their profit," one commenter suggested, while another said "I wouldn't even mind the s****y content, s****y packweight or 300 games for a gold pack rewards if the gameplay was fun, but its not, at least in my opinion, its one of the worst FIFA games I've ever played.
" "Problem is, people still BUY PACKS," one commenter pointed out. "They’ll complain, and then drop $50,$100 on packs every promo" they added, suggesting the fault lies with players' willingness to fork over real cash for a chance at the game's most impressive cards. Others noted that EA FC is running somewhat unopposed at present, with longtime rival Pro Evolution Soccer (now eFootball), seemingly less of a threat than it used to be, and that there's a good chance players are enjoying the game - they're just not tuning into the Reddit.
Despite the criticism, posts on X still show fans of the series are interested in the new promotions of unreal high powered cards. In a leak post by FUT Sherriff of the forthcoming Track Stars series, comments still shows players are desperate to get the latest lineup of players. Brazilian CB Lucio's new Track Star variant is looking particularly popular, which raises the question - are the rewards not good enough, or has there not been anything for you yet? Also in Track Stars is other heroes such as Joe Cole, Harry Kewell, David Ginola and more.
Some fans said: "fire cards". While another said: "Legends on the track! Excited to see these heroes in action as Track Stars! Can't wait! (sic)." Are you playing EA FC 25? How are you finding it? Let us know!.
