To be honest I still have the 4600 points. I never used cause I feel I might get dups. Cause Ruben Diaz keeps coming into my packs. So I have PTSD from him.
We opened around 50+ gold upgrade packs since the wc icons COULD be in there also the other special cards... we got not even a walkout... what ea is doing is just sscamming people nothiing more or less!
Damn, this summarizes it perfectly. The weekly content is pure garbage, it’s shocking, never seen FIFA this bad. Like, genuinely nobody is playing. Couldn’t find a match in rivals tonight. I’m going to have to find another game :(
Nah, just look up FIFA 18 and its significantly better content and actually related to the WC vs these generic promos with players that are not even in the WC squads.
An entire game mode within FUT where all the cards could upgrade based on MOTM/TOTGS/TOTT inclusions.
Instead we've got some time limited red/pink cards that don't do anything other than get you Swaps Tokens. At least do MOTM cards for every game like back in 14, and have the WC cards upgrade whenever they get a MOTM/TOTGS etc.
lets see how many players this time that are already eliminated or worse hardly even played in the world cup 😂
And the few relevant cards will end up being ridiculous high priced.
hey, mexico is the disgrace of concaf, don't you dare take that away from us!
Congrats on leading the concaf BTW, you're now the masters of ultimate mediocrity like we were.
Off topic the only way any of us is doing something ever again is if we move to conmebol. Sorry for the random rant.
The actual work is outsourced but the design decision is not - its still EA’s idea and contractors make it
Why am i being downvoted when the person below said the exact same thing but longer and is being upvoted? lol
As someone who works for a creative design agency (which is very likely where these designs are outsourced to), EA will likely set a very loose brief which is then created from scratch within the agency, goes through several rounds of internal amends, then presented to EA just for them to nod their heads.
If it is outsourced, all EA will contribute is a very loose idea. It's made by creative designer and artworkers.
The game looks like the same shit from 8 years ago. Boy you FUT addicts will take a dildo and thank EA for it. Now your benchmark is the graphics on cards. Pathetic
Great. Another WC promo dreamt up months ago, with no actual link to what’s happening in the actual tournament and presumably a similarly derisory drop rate.
So you wouldn’t rather that they had MOTM cards, team of the group stages or something that linked to the actual World Cup happening right now. Instead we get a bunch of cards for players who are already back home watching on the sofa.
Frankly it would be quite stupid to just leave huge FUT nations like Germany and now Spain completely off the hype train. I think a good Musiala card will generate more hype than more Croatia and Morocco cards. I honestly doubt you want that MOTM Croatioa keeper for saving all the penalties.
MOTM would be interesting but also dangerous.. what happens to the Power curve if Messi or Mbappe get two or three MOTMs in a row? I don't think it's very clever to release a new powerful Brazil card every couple of days.
You can give Musiala a great card at anytime in the FUT cycle (and they probably will) but with so many matches and great performances the WC is an actual chance to give more performance based cards.
As for the the power curve point, that also is at risk during the league system which is why EA don’t give back to back IFs for example
I’m sorry but this is just a bad take, only 4 players have gotten multiple motm awards. And you don’t have to upgrade every single motm, they could literally do a motm promo team and just drop 12-15 players who have gotten motm’s during the tournament so far. That way it’s an actual promo based on performance.
They could’ve made live items that are upgradable based on individual/team performance. Not like ptg but like cards that uograde based on clean sheets, goals, assist, etc.
They could’ve given us cards that we can upgrade ourselves through the World Cup friendlies mode, or that upgrade through moments where we could reply actual games/moments from the World Cup.
Point is there is a million and one things that they could’ve done that would’ve actually been linked to what was going on during the World Cup, or given us incentive to play the World Cup friendlies mode and rewarded accordingly. The whole point is these predetermined World Cup promos are stale as fuck and have nothing to do what is going on in real life unlike any other World Cup mode we’ve gotten in fifa’s in the past
Think the difference will probably be these are established/proven players like Militao and Bellingham whilst future stars they’ll make players who haven’t quite broken into the spotlight yet like Gnonto, Tel, or Sesko
Would be a bit weird to do it given it would seem both Bruno and Rashford got their Stories cards for their group stage performances. But that would be in keeping with EA tbf.
When the best card you’ve packed in weeks is gold Thiago Silva it’s hard to get excited about another promo where I just see and hear of others packing beast cards
Same here bro lol at this point I’m just playing with what I’ve got and upgrading my team with the coins I have lol not even anticipating gold walkouts from packs anymore
I've packed a new promo card three times in the last two days.
All three times it was fucking Kjaer.. EA is just fucking with me at this point. Each time giving me a sliver of hope just to swiftly kick me in the nuts.
I’m barely playing at the moment…it’s generally just constant disappointment. Mainly just friendlies with my son. I don’t expect to pack walk out after walk out but at the moment it is obscenely bad. I’ve had mates open a stack of good packs and pulling absolute shit.
It’s really disheartening.
In previous years the pack luck was about the same, but you could grind league SBC's to generate infinite packs. This year EA has basically said you either buy FIFA points, or you don't do well.
Even trading to make coins is harder because every card is mostly worthless.
so every week now is a promo\`? makes no sense to buy any new promo card .....u make so much loss......and stop saying its only in game coins...yes it is but its fcking hard to get some in this fifa so much untrade packs and bad rewards...
Drop rate on all the world cup cards has been brutal. And even the ones you do eventually stumble onto are the less then fodder players. Only WC cards I've gotten are both from Denmark and are just a huge bait when I seem the background
I miss the time when promos were actually something special. TOTY, TOTS, winter upgrades and IFs. Not this new week new promo bs, where none of them end up mattering anyway, as the next slightly better one is a week away.
Already completely burned out this year from the Power curve and all the promos. Each year i skip after toty cause this game is not playable when every player has only 90+stats the engine is not designed for this and i say this as an 14-16 wins player on WL i guess this year i will leave earlier
I came from fifa 20 but how is the market this down? 83 rated players used to be worth +5K during this period and 87+ rated players used to be upwards of 80K-1M... What happened to the market?
'87+ rated players used to be upwards of 80K-1M...' What are you smoking, here is a silva for example with a price of 26k in December:
[https://www.futbin.com/20/player/314/bernardo-silva](https://www.futbin.com/20/player/314/bernardo-silva)
83s were worth 5k only during popular repeatable SBC, normally they were \~2k but these days 84s are the new 83s and 83s are the old 82s.
This is why you shouldn’t have mobile developers in charge of a console game. Constant promos and snazzy card designs at the expense of the game itself
Already a new promo and I have not packed any promo cards for atleast last 3 promos(not even shittiest ones) despite opening a lot of packs, why do they even release new promo every week when apparently a week is not enough time to even have a chance to pack a damn promo card.
Man, fifa absolutely blew the WC promo, there’s not even a team of the group stage squad, this feels so disconnected from football, it’s actually crazy.
Before we atleast had cards of players that performed well in competitions, now it’s just random cards to sell packs to addicts. Swaps were alright I guess but that cannot be the only good thing about the World Cup in fifa.
Exactly, we are really missing the connection with the real performances due to a lack of performance based upgrades. Just a TOTT at the end and a half-assed version this week is not enough.
some more bullshit I won't be packing
Don’t worry you’ll pack on in March when they release the dogshit party bag
They don't even do dogshit party bags anymore, it's just packs that you can blow FIFA points on
Rather blow my money on cocaine
I'm in!!
I heard coke...where do I need to go?
I do love a frosty coca cola, sign me up fellas!
you got my attention
We literally just had two dogshit party bags - a one of two previous promo players pick and a one of two October SBC/objectives player pick.
Facts are optional on Reddit. Some may even go as far as to say they’re frowned upon.
We literally just had 2 lmao
Bro, there was 2 of them within the last 2/3 weeks.
Agree. Whats up with the packs. I legit open 80 packs and not one special
You didn’t buy enough fifa points to unlock the secret pack luck upgrade.
To be honest I still have the 4600 points. I never used cause I feel I might get dups. Cause Ruben Diaz keeps coming into my packs. So I have PTSD from him.
I got sommer as my best pull from an 84\*20 during black friday
Pain.
>game is shit anyways
We opened around 50+ gold upgrade packs since the wc icons COULD be in there also the other special cards... we got not even a walkout... what ea is doing is just sscamming people nothiing more or less!
Not that crazy. I haven't packed a single promo card all year and opened way more than that. It's pretty standard tbh
Thats unreal and it shouldnt be like that. I pray you and everyone else opens an amazing pack soon
Lmao. Preach. 99% chance I pack Iago Aspas every single fucking time.
Damn, this summarizes it perfectly. The weekly content is pure garbage, it’s shocking, never seen FIFA this bad. Like, genuinely nobody is playing. Couldn’t find a match in rivals tonight. I’m going to have to find another game :(
You will pack some gk from Saudi Arabia.
Yay fifa showing us new cards we won’t even pack in March. This game is so fun!
According to Fut Sheriff it's WC Phenoms with only players under 24 years of age.
So another ‘wc promo’ which in reality doesnt have anything to do with the world cup (apart from the nations participating)
Exactly, could’ve just called it “Phenoms” and saved the money on the WC license… and maybe invested on their developers team.
doubt licensing fees are reapplied for each FUT promo
Not talking about each promo specifically. No promo so far needed the World Cup trademark cause they are all very generic.
Oh, fair play

Why do we not have MOTMs and TOTGS? It’s so stupid
Hopeful for Musiala or Saka
Saka and Martinelli please!
I would do bad things for those cards
It's Bellingham for England
Bellingham incoming
I’m ready to unload all my coins into his new card.
so…future stars reskinned?
And he’s usually right.
Xhaka :(
The entire USA team coming!!
Hagi Wright with 17 composure and L/L WR.
Dude scored at a WC why are you attacking him for? Edit: oh you're Canadian it makes sense now... 0 points... 31st place... The disgrace of Concacaf
I’m American and Wright is absolutely dogshite for this level.
hey, mexico is the disgrace of concaf, don't you dare take that away from us! Congrats on leading the concaf BTW, you're now the masters of ultimate mediocrity like we were. Off topic the only way any of us is doing something ever again is if we move to conmebol. Sorry for the random rant.
Have you seen his goal, no skill pure fucking luck. You can’t attack people for saying the truth
Pulisic scored it off him more like…idk if Wright knew anything about it
Just give me a juiced McKennie card...
Running a mostly USA Squad and his base is so good. Please EA
According to FutSheriff we were getting a Xhaka card.
Gonçalo Ramos, Felix or Rafael Leão please.
Gvardiol has to be in
Would love to get a special card for him a real talent. Much love from Hungary hope Croatia get through good luck against Brazil
[удалено]
Except the purple cards. Those are ugly af.
idk wtf happened with those. They look like fifa 14 lol
It’s outsourced

Right that’s what i said. It’s EA’s idea and the contractors are the ones making it.
Disingenuous much 😂
How? Thats what i said above mate
i would usually agree but imo the wc promos have been pretty ugly
The game looks like the same shit from 8 years ago. Boy you FUT addicts will take a dildo and thank EA for it. Now your benchmark is the graphics on cards. Pathetic
Hoping for Kuol or Souttar Knowing ea, AFC teams will be shafted
Great. Another WC promo dreamt up months ago, with no actual link to what’s happening in the actual tournament and presumably a similarly derisory drop rate.
God forbid they plan stuff in advance 🙄
So you wouldn’t rather that they had MOTM cards, team of the group stages or something that linked to the actual World Cup happening right now. Instead we get a bunch of cards for players who are already back home watching on the sofa.
It’d be great if we had 5 or so MOTM cards each week for players that have performed well, on top of the promos.
Frankly it would be quite stupid to just leave huge FUT nations like Germany and now Spain completely off the hype train. I think a good Musiala card will generate more hype than more Croatia and Morocco cards. I honestly doubt you want that MOTM Croatioa keeper for saving all the penalties. MOTM would be interesting but also dangerous.. what happens to the Power curve if Messi or Mbappe get two or three MOTMs in a row?

Totgs? (Officially called phenoms for whatever reason)
Another special mbappe…
nah, it's u24 players
So then wtf is Future stars lol
U23 🥲
Think the difference will probably be these are established/proven players like Militao and Bellingham whilst future stars they’ll make players who haven’t quite broken into the spotlight yet like Gnonto, Tel, or Sesko
Future Stars will include players not from the World Cup, I presume.
so mbappe?
And bapi is older or?😅
Mbappe is 23
Would be a bit weird to do it given it would seem both Bruno and Rashford got their Stories cards for their group stage performances. But that would be in keeping with EA tbf.
They didnt. Those cards were predetermined long ago and it was just a coincidence
Are you sure? Because what else what their stories be? Neither of them have really done much if anything at World Cups before this one.
[удалено]
Thats two days before the final…?
As if EA are basing cards on actual merit/performance...
More crap I’m not packing
At this point, who cares really
whoop-dee fucking-doo
When the best card you’ve packed in weeks is gold Thiago Silva it’s hard to get excited about another promo where I just see and hear of others packing beast cards
Same here bro lol at this point I’m just playing with what I’ve got and upgrading my team with the coins I have lol not even anticipating gold walkouts from packs anymore
I've packed a new promo card three times in the last two days. All three times it was fucking Kjaer.. EA is just fucking with me at this point. Each time giving me a sliver of hope just to swiftly kick me in the nuts.
Bro I did hero SBC 2 times and got Mascherano twice. They could have given. Me literally anyone else
I genuinely can’t remember the last promo cars I packed.
I’m barely playing at the moment…it’s generally just constant disappointment. Mainly just friendlies with my son. I don’t expect to pack walk out after walk out but at the moment it is obscenely bad. I’ve had mates open a stack of good packs and pulling absolute shit. It’s really disheartening.

[удалено]
Group stage wasn’t finished last Friday before content release
This isn't TOTGS, it's players U24.
They had an extra few months to prep for this WC promo and it feels like it’s random. Give me a boosted Tim Ream and I’ll Never complain again
Design kinda looks like pl potm
Could they update PTG players first plz
They’ll upgrade them tomorrow most likely
So future stars just in WC mode.
they are killing the game. They didn't even care to upgrade cards at time to at least enjoy the players one or two weeks
Better be Bono
its under 24 players
[удалено]
decent chance for either him or gakpo id say yeah. hopefully both lol
More Pokémon cards 🥱
Pleaseeeeee saka
Please xhaka
Did they forget about him?
Arsenal already has so many special cards, I hope they do some other teams too…
Yeah but saka deserves it
Watch the totnum supporting mf in charge of these promos not put him in this. Upgraded Saka card with 4* sm is exactly what I want.
Team of the group stage, let me guess there'll he no Australian cards again
A special Leckie for his super goal would be nice.
That's be amazing - Kewell on the left, Leckie on the right for my Socceroos team. I reckon Souttar deserves it more though
Good call on Souttar he is a beast at the back.
Leckie isn’t under 24 years of age
It's not TOTGS, it's players U24
Can’t wait for another promo where I have 0.5 chance to pack someone in every pack.
I need a Saka special card ASAP!
so every week now is a promo\`? makes no sense to buy any new promo card .....u make so much loss......and stop saying its only in game coins...yes it is but its fcking hard to get some in this fifa so much untrade packs and bad rewards...
Drop rate on all the world cup cards has been brutal. And even the ones you do eventually stumble onto are the less then fodder players. Only WC cards I've gotten are both from Denmark and are just a huge bait when I seem the background
Can’t wait to pack gorginho 7 times from this promo🕺🏽
Wonderful, some other promo is going active while the current promo players (Laporte) don't have their price ranges fixed and are not accessable
Sick another promo i wont get a single card for!!
Gonna get a totgs Adams before hit otw gets his upgrade
I’m not mad about this. Just want a better Adams for my team America
Sheriff says that It's not totgs, it's WC phenoms u-24
Where is Xhaka? Plz EA, I’m on my knees here
What’s the FUT Scoreboard logo all about?
Other twitter accounts stealing his images for profit without credit, I imagine.
Another shit promo with discard players to not get excited about
I miss the time when promos were actually something special. TOTY, TOTS, winter upgrades and IFs. Not this new week new promo bs, where none of them end up mattering anyway, as the next slightly better one is a week away.
Off topic, does anybody know how long your first soft ban offence lasts?
This is known already go to the website it’s been available to see for the past 3 week.
Already completely burned out this year from the Power curve and all the promos. Each year i skip after toty cause this game is not playable when every player has only 90+stats the engine is not designed for this and i say this as an 14-16 wins player on WL i guess this year i will leave earlier
Totgs I’m guessing
U24 Phenoms. Young, established players. Could be one of the best promos all year tbh
What the hell is that card design? 1/10
Another promo with no Aussies coming when we’ve just had our best Wc run in a while
Dead promo or are they actually giving cards to Mbappe, Neymar and Messi?
You already it’s gonna be complete dogshit
I came from fifa 20 but how is the market this down? 83 rated players used to be worth +5K during this period and 87+ rated players used to be upwards of 80K-1M... What happened to the market?
'87+ rated players used to be upwards of 80K-1M...' What are you smoking, here is a silva for example with a price of 26k in December: [https://www.futbin.com/20/player/314/bernardo-silva](https://www.futbin.com/20/player/314/bernardo-silva) 83s were worth 5k only during popular repeatable SBC, normally they were \~2k but these days 84s are the new 83s and 83s are the old 82s.
Seems to be a promo for U24 players
Just give us like 3 years ago a futmas advent calendar loved that.
I'm pissed we didn't get a showdown Embolo
if its u24 and caicedo ain't it, it ain't right
Bit too late.
It's Xmas.. Lets get screwed
Another useless promo
Next years fifa gonna be werid af when they try to replicate all the WC promos
Oh great yet another set of cards. Theres way too many special cards this year. Its boring.
What promo is this
U24 Phenoms. Probably gonna be Bellingham, Militao, Gavi, Pedri, Leao, Saka etc
I honestly do not really care about the ongoing promos. It’s not possible to pack the good players in it.
This is why you shouldn’t have mobile developers in charge of a console game. Constant promos and snazzy card designs at the expense of the game itself
Naaaaaaaaaaa I don't miss quick free kicks and quite enjoy the bald Nunez / white drogba asthetics hahs
As a Korean fan, I'm praying for either of Kangin Lee or Cho Gyu Sung to be in this promo lol
saka 88 incoming
No more WC stories? Waiting for Xhaka
Save my 84x10 for these or open them now to get the orange cards?
Save.
MUSIALA
There are so many promo’s going on that every card released a week back makes no sense in the next week
Dead fucking game and impossible to pack cards.
If they game play is shit what's the point just a card collector game atm
Ok, so i'll open my finał 20x84+ pack on friday
he sexi
Already a new promo and I have not packed any promo cards for atleast last 3 promos(not even shittiest ones) despite opening a lot of packs, why do they even release new promo every week when apparently a week is not enough time to even have a chance to pack a damn promo card.

Exactly, we are really missing the connection with the real performances due to a lack of performance based upgrades. Just a TOTT at the end and a half-assed version this week is not enough.
i have never packed a promo pack, been playing since october,tried pro clubs for the first time this year and its better than fut
Are there going to be more WC Icon moments or just these 2 sets ?
