You're right, but it's also 10000x worse early in the cycle. :laugh:

After a while it becomes really easy to get crazy cards for free.
True I don’t play late in the cycle.

Not just that but I played an offline draft on professional and the shit happening in the final game made me sick.

Also every Twitch stream is guys just opening packs and not playing. Good luck next week. :laugh:

Sounds about right. A 8 hour stream that’s 7.5 hours of opening packs and doing Squad Building Challenges, then .5 hours of actual gameplay.

I know that these pack addicts are going to be way ahead of me when I start next Friday, but I’m interested to see how this goes because last year I didn’t start until March. This should be a walk in the park in comparison. :laugh:

The only question is: which league starter pack do I take? My heart says bundesliga, but my [tiny] brain says PL or LaLiga. I assume you took Serie A?

Nah the starter packs are weak. I took Brazil because it’s apparently better for SBCs (that I never do). Don’t think it really matters tbh.

Why was I thinking it was leagues instead of countries? I’m an idiot.
And they’re not even all from the same country. Just the majority. Best card I got in the starter pack was an 80 common striker.

I haven’t pulled shit from the tradeable packs. Best was an 82 Akanji. And naturally I’m getting 86 dupes already out of the Untradeable packs. My best pull is from a 78+ choice pack which was Osimhen who fits nicely on my Serie A team. That was pretty cool.

Very nice.

Osimhen carried my team for months in Fifa 23. Great player, especially with his “lengthy” type.

Not horrendous, but not great. :laugh:

Went strait to doing “Moments” so I could get a pack with the rewards and I got a striker worth 150k in my very first one, so that’s kinda nice. Now I’m working on adding the RTTK Gio Reyna they released in Objectives today.

How’s yours?
I pulled Musiala, TAA, and that 88 German striker chick in an SBC pack today so that was cool. Musiala is so nasty. I pulled the Dortmund CBs earlier too so it's coming together. They're kinda hard to link to my Serie A theme team though. I don't have any super rare cards, but I have enough options to jump into Rivals if I grow some hair on my chest.

I'm a couple squad battle wins from Gio. I finished squad battles yesterday so getting a bit fatigued playing the TOTW 10 times. :laugh:

Damn, that’s some good shit. A Serie A/Dortmund squad sounds like a winner.

I’m also saving up for the Dortmund away and AC Milan home kits. ;)

This game is going to drive me insane with the country/position/team pack walkout bait though. Thinking I’m getting some elite player and it ends up being a 74 overall woman is too painful.

Wait until you get French Striker from PSG like I got the other day. Kolo Muani is really good but he's worth about 3.2 million less. :laugh:

I've been watching people empty their life savings into this game for 10 days opening packs and I have not seen anything remotely close to an Mbappe. Pulling that card has to be equivalent to winning the lottery.

Same. Haven’t seen him even once. Only the bait that we got. I swear they boosted the odds for those two players, just so people would make and spread clips.

Saw someone far Rinaldo and Messi in the same pack though. Pretty crazy luck, even though their stats aren’t what they used to be.

Messi is still pretty good from what the pros say. Hard to link though now that he's in the MLS.

Looks a lot like Verdansk! Even has some identical buildings. Might be time to be a Warzone sweat again.

Between this and all 16 original MW2 maps being remastered, pretty excited for MWIII.

After watching Ahsoka I felt like I wanted to do something Jedi so I downloaded again Jedi Fallen Order and pretty much gave up. I liked the game and narrative when I played through it even though I thought it was really restrictive, but trying to play through it again is pretty damn tedious and ridiculously linear and forced at times.

Your teammates in club CHEL can get kicked for taking too many penalties?? I can understand for drop ins but for club that can't be intended...right?

For going afk too. It's pretty much a beta.

Do you like having to change your name and number for each jersey set?
