I HATE Everything About EA

Glad someone continues to call out these scummy pricks EA. Complete cash grab every single day... W Nick

It sucks that there’s little kids who use their parents credit cards for pixels. And so many kids are getting gambling addictions for a game that sucks. I hate EA so much.

People dont buy the 25! Boycott FUT. Play seasons or wait for UFL. Fut gameplay is pointless, it turned to simple money grabbing mechanism.

“Why do you still play it if you hate it? - my friends, every single time I rant about it Because I love football and I love what Ultimate Team used to be. And I love that 1 in 100 game where the gameplay is clean and responsive I get my 7 wins in rivals for rewards, I get 9 wins in champs, I get 4 wins in qualifiers and I tap out. And I’m instantly happier once I switch the game off and go play something else. I’ve gotten back into single player games since October. I hadn’t touched a single player game since Xbox 360/PS3 days because I’ve always been obsessed with Ultimate Team and wanted to do nothing else… now I want to do anything but play this game but I just can’t seem to make a clean break from the game I’ve grew up loving and playing everyday. But I do think I’m officially over it, I truly believe I’ll NOT be buying next year’s game Thanks for coming to my TED talk

Nick appreciation button Thanks for calling them out. I want to add that this is not considered gambling since you can't lose value in FUT Points, therefore you aren't risking anything of value. It is considered losing the money as soon as you put money into the game, literally.

THIS COOK SESSION IS BOUTTA BE CRAZY

I'm in my 50s and remember saving my wages in the 90s to buy the first fifa and a megadrive to play it. Now older with a good job, kids your age Nick, it disgusts me to see how the landscape of gaming has changed. I still play this crap and I don't know why. I called it a day on cod 3 years ago and think I'll do the same to Fifa this year. Great video, peace.

Nailed it Nick! Tbh i think part of the problem too is the competitive side. Everyone wants what's "meta" instead of just building a fun team they enjoy. Everyone is spending a stupid amount of money for the same squads.

The gap in pack weight is what infuriates me even more. It’s so easy to constantly pack trash like Wubben-Moy, Banza, Keating etc. You can literally pack each of them 5+ times a day. And it is genuinely near impossible to get players from the tiers above them. Where tf is Nani, Garnacho, Ben White. They’re nowhere near the best cards and even they are impossible to pack for me. I’ve done over fifty 80+ player picks and over 80 of those prem and WSL 77+ packs. I’ve gotten nothing. Nothing special from all of my big packs saved over the last 3 weeks. The only place where the good cards exist is the store packs. The pathetic, manipulative and monopolised pack weight is what’s driving me away from this game more than the gameplay. I did those big upgrade pack sbc’s that came out today and got nothing again.

Ever since EA was forced to show the pack % due EU regulations and have a preview pack EA went all overboard. I Appreciate you always speaking up about it!

Last year I spent around 300$ AU on the game and this year I haven't bought anything but the Ultimate Edition. I'm pretty happy with myself and I've been able to make a great team for free (TOTY Hansen etc.) But a big problem is that people like me who don't spend money on the game will say things like "if you don't like it don't buy it" - completely disregarding the fact that this is a predatory system that hurts vulnerable people. Not to mention it hurts the actual game to those who like FIFA, EA are more busy selling packs than selling the game. Thank you for being one of the only notable you tubers to really talk about this in depth.

Nick is the only big EAFC creator that will call them out and throw his bag away. Imagine if Nick took the route of the other creators and worked with EA, he could make so much more bank but he’s for the community. I love you Nick

That Pack is $70.70 CAD including taxes. Someone needs to fucking step in.

Can you imagine a kid asking their parents to buy an online pack to help their team. Ok how much, $50 WTF , oh yea I can do it twice, it’s a madness.

The problem is promos, the earlier games never had them only toty and tots, maybe a couple more. You would use golds up until tots, now you have a mad team without even playing a game, ea has their entire focus on promo packs cause people want more and more special cards so they use that to empty their bank accounts, promo fifas don't even compare to what this game used to be. For people like me it's easy, don't play and I'm so glad I don't. So much more to life than this crap. I actually feel bad that your job is literally to play this awful game. How this isn't illegal just blows my mind. Teaching kids to gamble without limits from a young age and ea just see dollar signs

Guys I played 10 games in FUT champs and lost 9 of em , the crazy part is I was always up 3 or 4 goals at HT and just end up losing each game. You can say i might be a shit player but I checked the replays of all the goals I conceded it doesn’t even made sense, every mistake was made by my AI defence. I am a veteran Fifa player playing since fifa 10 but this year game is the worst ever, there is no skill gap! I have lost count the amount of times I lost to noob players just because they have a better team than me because I don’t spend money on packs. The worst feeling is when you know you deserved to win the game because you were levels above the opponent but still lose because you don’t have fucking toty mbappe !

In Belgium buying points is banned. Other countries should also do this. I've spent over £4000 which is roughly $5000. I feel awful about it and next year I'll be doing RTG 100% because it's not healthy and it's a bad gambling addiction. EA need to be sued bigtime

I am very happy that you post these kinds of videos Nick and call out all the bs from EA. One thing I feel like that is not talked about enough though, which you talked about in this video, is how unfinished this game is. The dynamic images of players are broken, the game freezes almost everytime you buy a player while in the SBC transfer market, there are sample texts on various places and even the AI is just BROKEN AS HELL in so many ways you cannot even list them in one comment. And for that EA want a full prize for the game itself and on top of that ask for $50 for pack which might NOT EVEN give you something good. Getting a good player doesnt justify the prize, but for $50 you would at least expect something half decent out of it. This company is actually getting away with murder...

I added how much I spent on fifa points since FUT 14, £6,500. Along with 6,500 hours gameplay. What other game costs £1 per hour to play.. Not spent a penny on packs for the past year now

I don’t like these rant videos because so many people do them for this game this year, but I also think that’s the state of this game. So many people disappointed and all we can do is rant. Much respect for making this video Nick. I do really hope EA makes some changes. But not going to hold my breath. I decided I am not going to buy this franchise game anymore unless EA fixes/finishes this broken game.
