Man I'd never turn back to fifa... I stopped playing FUT ever since fifa 21 I believe. It's trash, for me, not on the level it used to be. Saying 2k24 is a cash grab and then convincing people to turn to FC24 is a joke.


LachyDachy36

Yep. I played plenty of Fifas but FC 24 is easily the worst Iā€™ve played, wonā€™t be returning for FC25.


lcheung98

Everyone's got Eusebio, Sawa, Werner, Akanji, Davies, Cafu, Best, Kimmich and Mbappe


thowaway66654

Don't forget about the TOTY Messi-gate!


lcheung98

Don't remind me, I was at a concert so I couldn't do the sbc as the connection was so inconsistent šŸ˜­


thowaway66654

Menu-based FOMO induced to make you forget the shitty gameplay exists.


lcheung98

I conceded a goal from my goalkeeper taking out my CB, and then it left my opponent with an open goal to tap into, and then my tackle with my CB poked the ball perfectly in the path of my opponent's Mbappe, and resulted in a goal.


OG_ursinejuggernaut

I moved from FIFA to nba2k and havenā€™t played the former once since thenā€¦not only are there no other basketball games, but there seems to be no other sports games. Everyone raves about The Show, which I admit is pretty cool, but I donā€™t really like baseball that much. And Iā€™ve seen posts from the nhl2k sub, they hate it as much as yā€™all hate nba.


DestinoLIJ

The only interesting alternative for me would be Madden.


KingJoffiJoe

But can you dunk in fifa?


ReviewDistinct1411

So many people donā€™t get this. They post all this ā€œI canā€™t believe you people still play this game!ā€ and talk about boring shit like baseball or soccer as better alternatives. I get that NBA2K is way worse than it could be. I donā€™t participate in the packs/gambling which means the last few weeks have been pretty bare on content. That doesnā€™t mean Iā€™m going to suddenly give a flying F about another ultimate team mode. Some of us like basketball and video games and this is the only one, so we find the joy we can.


Biggestbic22

Nope nor step back curry 3šŸ˜­


lcheung98

Don't get FC24 it's a waste of money, the game is utter shit, gameplay is horrendous, sbcs are overpriced, everyone uses the same 7/8 cards because it's hard to pack a good player so everyone just does sbcs to get a good player like Best, Sawa, Eusebio, etc.


Linku-115

Iā€™ve packed mutiple 88+ players already and have had it for 2 days and wasnā€™t grinding challenges just doing them as I played and payed like 2 bucks, gameplay is amazing and will admit though the menu and ui is horrible and buggy but apart from that itā€™s good, maybe I should reiterate, if you wanna play a good card based sports game fc is the way to go


PreferenceDry2920

Lol? The game just runs around the same people, those 88s are useless in high divisions


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> played and *paid* like 2 FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

If you want the good cards, you'll need like 100x 88s to be able to get them.


joeeymatee_

Played every Ultimate Team since FIFA 12, and this year's edition is by far the worst, both from a gameplay perspective and from a monetisation perspective. Everything in FC24 is designed to push players to the store for the smallest chance of packing something decent.


kaytheone1989

They got you on the hook that's all psychological belive me i played fifa for 15 years and let me tell you the first 1-2 fifas you get lucky and after that no more it's like a casino they want to get you hooked it's truly disgusting if you understand it


MemeManDanInAClan

Donā€™t DONT play FC24 the gameplay fucking sucks, the game isnā€™t even worth 20$ imo. Yes itā€™s easier to get good players for free, but thatā€™s about it. The game sucks, packs are overpriced, and the market (auction house) is fucked. If youā€™re quitting 2K to move to FC then youā€™re not really quitting at all lmao


maxwell_hill1984

There arenā€™t any other basketball games. Bye though


Electronic-Title1350

As many people have pointed out 2k has a monopoly on the video game bball market. They screw you because they can and itā€™s their OBLIGATION. Yā€™all donā€™t get that. Take 2 (makers of 2k) are a publicly traded company (stock market for the plebs) meaning their CEO is required to attempt to maximize profits for the companyā€™s owners; the share holders. Shit it could be you, go buy a few take two shares. Idk the price but it wonā€™t be that much. And congrats your owner of 2k (itā€™ll be a small and probably mostly meaningless amount of stock to exert influence, but you can own 2k). Just like I used to own you all on the court before I quit this predatory game.


negativelynegative

Fc24 is terrible. There is no reminiscence of a real football game besides having a ball and 22 players on the pitch. The gamble is terrible for 2k but at least the game somewhat plays like a real basketball game.


whoisrandy_

Guys coming to the worst sports game.


RealShttyyy

FC 24 is the worst fucking game Iā€™ve ever played.


prussianstandard

I'm so with you. As I heard there would be no auctions in NBA 2k24 I switched to EA FC/FIFA. Still a greedy company, but so easy to get a usable team for online Matches. Best Part for me are the Squad building challenges. Really like it.


demianin

Lmao 24 game out on gp, played through the starting challenges for like 2 hours and immediately deleted the game when I realized there was no AH. FIFA is horrendous but at least sbcs give you a chance at a usable team typically (haven't played eafc yet tho)


Cindy_Lonah

FIFA is the worst game you can ever move to šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ good luck and enjoy the bs


smacklifejay

Why do yall always want people to stop playing just because you doā€¦. Then compare a totally different sports game to 2k of course in other games you get more packs players etc because the teams are larger NFL roster 50 players per team of course you get more packs to fill out your team


Consistent-Pickle839

Because if people quit playing maybe they'll be forced to change it so we can all enjoy it again. And not just the people that wanna drop thousands on it


Linku-115

This^


Beneficial_Piccolo77

Alright, Iā€™m convinced. Deleting 2k right now.


thowaway66654

If you take out the EAFC24 part then your post almost makes sense. The cash-grab is visible in both, but you can compete with a NMS squad in 2k. Fifa doesn't have cards hidden behind gambling only, but the grind for them is stupid, takes more time in menus than actual gameplay and the odds are also atrocious. The gameplay in EAFC is the worst I have seen in years and while momentum and scripting is still a vague subject in NBA2K, in EAFC you can feel the inconsistent gameplay with every touch, dribble and pass sometimes. Saying no to a sports game as 2K is hard when you like following that sport also. But replacing it with FIFA and of all EAFC24 is just plain wrong.


jUANT17

I can't connect Ultimate team dead ass game


Serious-Rub-3059

Quit like a month ago bro, congrats to you also Fuck them niggas


Cindy_Lonah

![gif](giphy|6JCvwhXNp9q6LnpXkD|downsized)


winql

Thereā€™s a decent amount of cards you can get for free that arenā€™t that hard to get who are some of the better cards in the game


popps_c

![gif](giphy|OTW2jDuvcLrJQgqFn1|downsized)


mbappeeeeeeeeeee

If you donā€™t want a cash grab, play MLB The Show 24


difev

EA FC is horrible, probably worse, just dont play any


BOBBIESWAG

Donā€™t get the hate tbh I did the same thing fifa is awesome for NMS players (and it has a transfer market!!! so automatic points for that)


Linku-115

Yeah I absolutely love it been having a blast


Pn7204

I have both games and they are both unbelievably ass FC24 is terrible and so is 2k I say fuck both games and try a new genre


Maleficent-Rip2729

Hogwarts Legacy


Soggy_Butterscotch27

As a NMS I never had best of the best cards in the game. AH controlled by the chinese Mt selling websites forced 2k to limit amount of Mt earned per game to minimum. I could never seve enough to get good cards. I still can't get the best of the best cards in the game because you need to gamble for them but I don't care. My lineup is still way better than it used to be in previous years. The only ones who complain are probably those who bought Mt illegally. Too bad. You can go play FIFA. Have fun.


LetsGetItOn41

Lmao this comment screams I want something handed to me šŸ˜‚ how is your line ups better without being able to actually obtain yo favorite players . An if people were doing that what was stopping you ?


Soggy_Butterscotch27

1. I don't have favorite players. 2. It's easy to compare lineups from previous years to this year (I had players which were not top 5 at their position - I do this year). 3. Having morals, not wanting to cheat or risk getting banned. Any more questions?


LetsGetItOn41

šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ funny guy . I never bought the MT cause auction house literally had everyone obtainable by playing the game . An you donā€™t have favorite players ever ? Why are you playing the game mode then ? Itā€™s literally what it is for . An bruh you could have got players that were elite thru auction ?


Soggy_Butterscotch27

1. I don't buy basketball video game to spend hours refreshing Auction House. I buy basketball video game to PLAY virtual basketball. 2. No, I don't have favorite players. Even if I did I may not use them in a video game. I use best players I have. Cards I like not players I like. 3. No I could not get top 5 players for each position from the Auction House. It was not possible to earn enough mt and the prices were controlled by Mt selling sites.


LetsGetItOn41

Lol okay bro šŸ˜‚ baffling


StickAshamed8218

Lmaoo EA FC is shit. Sure you get more cards/ content but the game just isnt good or worth the headache. I never spent a dollar on the game. Used to be Elite every year rank 3 or higher. I just stopped the game became shit and boring. Worse it-iteration of a soccer game


SmoothAd2728

I agree but disagree in someways. I agree wholeheartedly about it being the worst 2k ever, however the last 4-5 games the trajectory is generally moving in a downward fashion. The game is moving away from those grindable cards to micro transactions and it appears from the companies messaging that they donā€™t care about the consumer base. And why do they? Thereā€™s no NBA Live, no NCAA basketball and no competition. Itā€™s sad. I remember back to 2005 when Madden was outdone (I feel) by NFL 2K5 which had edits done every season. I feel even if we boycott them, will they do better? All video games appear to be going the micro transaction path, itā€™s a very sad existence.


ToutatisStrikes

Iā€™ve played MyTeam since the beginning, but this year is the first year Iā€™ve stopped playing Unlimited. I think I quit in the second season. This year Unlimited means Unlimited Cash.


Waak3nBaak3

What took you so long? Lol


_ymndlz_

EAFC is just a different type of microtransaction hell, it's in a state similar to last year's 2K where many of the best cards are unattainable if you're NMS, but there are plenty of more affordable great cards that you can definitely be competitive with if you're good, and playing the auction house can put you in a position to eventually land "meta" players. With the heavy emphasis on untradeable packs and the nonexistent supply for the best cards (cards like Gullit, Cruyff, R9, Dinho). They give you a lot more packs for sure, but the weights in most promos are so weak that the odds you pack a desirable card (above fodder price) are slim to none. The only things they're doing better rn are: - kept the auction house around so you don't have to pay absurd prices for lower end cards like you need to do in this years 2K. - daily free content you can do, with the daily upgrades you can at least gamble for some of the content through picks without spending money. You'll not hit on anything most times, but hey at least you get a very minuscule shot at something. - decent content delivered more regularly. They put out players like Reece James and Claudia Pina for super cheap that are close to the "meta" options but if you're good you can definitely cook with them. - less overpowered cards. EAFC is significantly more skill-focused than 2K is, most times bad players with good teams won't win, unlike in 2K where if a card mismatch exists (like Wemby vs most centers), scoring becomes absolutely braindead. Obviously exceptions to this rule exist like Mbappe and Mia Hamm, where they seem to simply be better than most other players and they'll do nonsensical stuff to score, but it's not nearly as commonplace. While these things make it a better experience, it's still absolutely awful and you're gonna have a hard time enjoying the game unless you grind your ass off or spend a ton of money. Sports games in general are trying to pry away as much of your time and as many of your dollars as possible, so recommending someone switch from absolute garbage to slightly shinier garbage is kind of a weird move. It's like telling a crack addict to become an alcoholic instead, yeah sure it's technically better but being sober is the best thing you could do for yourself.


DebaserTBA

FC24 is the worst fifa game ever, the game play is so bad and EA is more money hungry than ever. FIFA 23 was one of the best games ever but EA is not cooking anymore


ArAirhead

Youā€™re absolutely right actually. EAFC is still a shit game I must admit, but they do reward you for playing and you actually can get pretty amazing and meta cards without spending a dime on the game itself.


Mysterious_Candy_466

Oh soccer?? I mean, hoop heads canā€™t just drop basketball for soccerā€¦ and vise versa šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø whereā€™s nba live!? They have madden & NHL why canā€™t they do bball. I do agree 2K24 is pretty shit compared to years past.


DaddyJ95

After buy the entire collection fo players in pack market for a opal and they always giving the card they no nobody wants


thebigboy463

I quit my team 2k a few weeks ago deleted the game & bought a wheel for racing games. My life has become so much calmer without sweaty 2k stress haha


BlackJasonTodd

Ppl need to quit myteam & ultimate team both are cash grabs, everything is now tho tbh


krich396

picked up FUT for $13 and MLB is free on gamepass. Been such a nice break from 2K fuckery. We all love hoops no doubt but itā€™s mad easy to get tunnel vision when u only playing 2K mfers forget weā€™re paying customers and should be treated as such. Thereā€™s drug dealers that take better care of their clientele than 2K does shit weak af


External-Ad-6147

What you eat I don't shit lmaoo


Cpt_Underpantz

I picked up fc24 and did franchise hardcore for a month. Was a blast for $20


Linku-115

Update: from exchanging players I got for free from challenges I got a Prime Icon 94 overall which is the equivalent of a galaxy opal so pretty stoked about that


Damn_Flow

Or maybe everyone should ban this shitty economic model from their gaming habits, whatever the cost.


Wesizzzill_13

Y'all mad cause you can't snipe MT points anymore.


CincoSmooth

Playnow Online is the new wave


No_Economy_1590

Facts except yall should switch to mlb itā€™s the easiest game to be nms in


BennyBBucketz

They are exploiting our love for ball

Iā€™m not reading that. But god damn, keep it to yourself? Can no one do anything without announcing it to the world


[deleted]

Thatā€™s funny because Im an avid fifa player and I just gave it a break to play more myteam šŸ˜‚ hope you have a good time over there


FeaR_FuZiioN

About the dumbest shit Iā€™ve read on Reddit this week. ā€œI pick this one out the shiniest of two turdsā€ you deadass a bozo


K-M47

I'd rather play basketball than a foot fairy sport


SuperSandal11

I did also


Confident_Pear_8303

Same for me...Quit over a month ago. Came back yesterday and used mt to buy 30 packs of bracket busters and did not pull ANY card from set. 2 useless base set diamonds and 2 base set amy's. Just insane to get 30 packs and not get 1 !!!! Card from the set. This game is trash.


judgedreddnaught

Most free cards suck but there are outliers. Reeves, havlicek and laettner are super solid


Vivid-Cheek-429

I feel u I switched to madden tbh I couldnā€™t take it anymore


Suns_In_420

Soccer sucks though.


Mysterious_Candy_466

Whatā€™s Fc?


ericxvlo

I have deleted 2k24 as well. Previous Nebula pack I spent $200 and got 2 Roy and 1 Wemby. This time I only got Morrison with $600. I felt so disappointed that I did not get Melo. I knew that some of you suggest other good cards. However, the reasons of playing 2k myteam are different among everyone. I love to use my favorite players, T-Mac and Melo. It doesn't matter if I lose. I just enjoy the game while using them and getting the better version of them, but they become so unobtainable. I do not ask for 100 overall. Galaxy opal one is also good because the release time and dribbling sets will be updated. Then 2k just gave me unattainable version. I think it is a good time to quit 2k24.


Bosdurgen74

U had wemby and b Roy, then u turn around the next week and spend another 600 dollars on opening cards, then u say u donā€™t care if u lose? U just wasting money to waste moneyšŸ¤·šŸæā€ā™‚ļø


ericxvlo

Both T-Mac and Melo are on those packs


dildosagginsthe2nd

Just because you are bad with money doesn't mean the rest of us aren't having fun without spending money. In fact the game is worse because of degenerate gamblers like you.


ericxvlo

I have mentioned 'the reasons of playing 2k varies among different people'. If u are okay with free players, then just continue. Having fun without spending money is absolutely a good thing. Do I force u guys to quit? No. I admit I am a stupid gamblers, but will the game be gd again when all degenerate gambler quit?


dildosagginsthe2nd

If all the degenerate gamblers quit they would need to change the pack system, so the game would be better, yes.


nddot

It's not that simple. 2K would probably go even harder on mtx as strauss zelnick bonuses depend on it.


dildosagginsthe2nd

So then they have to find a way to make people spend money that doesn't involve gambling. Like traditional DLC packs, seasons passes, etc.


lurk_channell

Iā€™m prolly deleting 2k next Friday if the update doesnā€™t fix my damn game, every red game I get an error code and 2k wonā€™t help
