What’s your reason?

I’m three points away from my first 45 points. Turns out playing with wingers makes a big difference. :laugh:
“You deserved it”

And yeah, having a little pace makes a lot of difference. :laugh: Now you get to share in the despair of finishing all those games just to get worthless rewards!

How else am I supposed to get fodder for all of these expensive ass SBCs? That Barcola price is a joke. PSG isn't even really linkable this year with no Mbappe.

80x5 = all dupes, didn't even get my 84 back. :laugh:

Yeah, that’s exactly the problem. The grind is painful, the rewards are trash, the packs are nonexistent, the upgrade SBCs are rare and trash, and the player SBCs are all jokes. That’s why I’ve done exactly one all year long.

And yep, 80x5, highest was 81. Pathetic.

Luckily on Friday the new CoD comes out so at least I’ll have some variety in my frustration and pain.

@FLYguy3911 took out my anger on FC25 after that Dortmund game

Finished up my last rivals wins and then went 5-0 in Weekend League qualifiers.

Every goal was followed by a celebration and full replay.
If they attempted one outside the box finesse shot, lob pass in the box, or kickoff glitch they got upgraded to a griddy and a full pause timer.

The hero upgrade was a fail.... got a Campos lol

Then put Campos + Berbatov from the last upgrade into the Varane SBC. Pretty much emptied my club doing the hero + varane in 1 day though :laugh:

Did get an untradeable Saliba from one of the premium league sbc's today, not that they're super worth until prices go back down. So sold Van de Ven finally + Kounde and bought Aya Miyama + Xabi Alonso with the coins I had

What div?

Best thing I ever did was slow play Rivals. Was a breeze in 4/5. :laugh:

Sucks for those nerds stuck in Elite.

I thought about the Hero pack at that price but then sampled some of the pulls and thought better of it. Usually when something is that "cheap" the pack weight is horrible. At least if you pull a crappy icons, they have premium chemistry links. I don't think I did one Hero pack last year come to think of it lol.

I did Kvara and Di Lorenzo the other day so I'm pretty tapped out on fodder. Want to do Varane but feel like he'll be behind the power curve by the time I get him done. See what they drop during the next promo.

I just can't get over how bad the EAFC25 gameplay can randomly get.

Went 10-0 in the first 10 games with my new team (5 qualifier games and 5 rivals). Then randomly the gameplay just turned into garbage. I ended up even turning on some of the trainer tools to see what the game was registering as my inputs / passing lanes / etc in case my controller/network was the cause. But ping was generally stable at 15-25 range and inputs seemed fine

It's straight up not even passing where the tools show it is going sometimes, it just decides to lock onto a random player sometimes instead (which is even more unfortunate the times where it's not one of my players even :laugh:). I have no issue losing, and get there is some EA shenanigans that is going to happen sometimes, but it's rough to justify continuing to play when even their tools are showing it's not functioning how it says it should (that's ignoring their servers even)

@FLYguy3911 the Guirassy SBC is still disrespectful but at least we’re making progress.
Told ya he'd get promos this year. I'd do him but no way I'd be able to link him.

Thinking about Raphina. Waiting to see if they drop anything else juicy.

Edit: ALSO WHAT IS THIS TEAM
First owner RTG. Don't see those teams in Div 4.

I watch a dude who rips 18K FP a day and he couldn't even afford that team lol.

You have the fodder to do Raphinha?! He looks really good but I dont think I could do him within the next 12 days even if I wanted to.

And yeah, links make things so difficult. We really need some usable icon SBCs…

Probably not but I did Rodrygo's Trailblazer last year and he was about the same price with no SBC storage. I have 600k coins to use also. I'm probably going to wait until Friday though to see who the big SBC is for Team 2.

Gotcha.

It’s funny how different we use our fodder and coins. :laugh: I’m such a hoarder because I fear a must-do SBC coming out and not having enough. Not that you’re wasteful, but you’re more willing to do stuff.

I'm usually a hoarder but realized coins are pretty much worthless with how the market fluctuates and are only good for for filling in SBC gaps and the occasional store pack every few promos. I get bored of using the same players over-and-over. I've been using my current team for about two weeks now.

I def get FOMO though when it comes to SBC players (I also rarely submit them into future SBCs lol). Like that Jonathan David. Can I get him on full chem? Absolutely not. Will I do it and use him as a super-sub only? 99.9% chance.
