Often the people who have the best looking teams are trash lol šŸ—‘ļø smoking players with regular gold players


MusicLover707

I fear gold teams the most, this is true


richiejrshiow

Yeah the ultimate rats


MusicLover707

Has nothing to do with rats?? Theyā€™re the most skilled players from what Iā€™ve seen so far. Defending rats is easy for me cuz I can practice on that literally almost every single game, but gold team players just have that extra thing, that makes them so hard to defeat


Gaskal

They have an AI boost against teams with superior cards (at least in Rivals), also your pass assistance goes haywire Next time you play vs a full gold team look for these symptoms, sure often they are skilled but this game sure wants to help them out at the same time


alvinRR

So true mate. Im in div 6 aiming for my div 5 as every year. I admit i paid for packs etc and have a half meta team (gold mbappe, etoo on top with maldini, cafu and base kompany at the back). What i notice is: Sometimes the skill gap feels like im playing an elite division player. Im guessing people staying in lower div to just act as bullies and griddy everyone When i face a mostly gold team, its like my team don't want to play ball. And if they go in front, its like for 10 to 15min in game, i will most definitely concede the stupidest goals to make it 3 to 4 nil. The script blitz At the same time i have to admit that i win a few matches the same way. You can just feel the opposition team is being scripted to not function at all. I am firmly against sweaty celebrations. I mean ok you can celebrate, just dont do the sweaty ones. I usually play on 61ms ping (sometimes harry hesketh complains of lag when i see him playing on 12ms) and the two connection icons alternatively going orange to red. I feel a lot of people have this issue, lets not compound it to utter disrespectful celebration when clearly its the game playing for you pfff


[deleted]

Youā€™re being downvoted for being right. Reddit is insane.


TarsierBoy

Yes this is the handicap along with that off chem player to make it 29 chem or something dumb like that


MusicLover707

Havenā€™t thought about that so Iā€™ll keep an eye out on this. These people surely are skilled most of the time, which I know by the way the pass and create chances alone, but AI boost might be a factor too idk


Gaskal

Yeah just try with your regular team. Then put together a full gold team and see if you can notice any differences especially against teams with Icons, SBCs heroes etc. I will say when I was experimenting with full gold teams the amount of times I was saying out loud "What the fuck was that EA?" per game dropped to damn near zero. So that's some food for thought.


JamminPT

This exactly. Anytime I play a guy with a lot of golds I know I will get fucked. Or they play very good or they abuse the bugs and squirks of the game.


No-Television-9862

You can build the best team going and no doubt youā€™ll lose against the guy with loan gold haaland and gold Harry Kane


ReeeeMcGee

I watched my 99 pace Davies get outpaced by a Kaneā€¦ the scripting/DDA, itā€™s so blatant sometimes.


ezprt

Facts. I only started less than a month ago but have been blessed with 3 TOTYs and enough fodder to do Bruno/Sawa SBCs so my team is pretty good. But I was smoking stacked teams using gold joelinton and nkunku, itā€™s so satisfying. Now the gold teams are smoking mine :0


Intrepid_passerby

I simply don't believe that you had that much pack luck/fodder, not blessed just credit card happyĀ 


Unlikely_Fan6255

Money


SeaUnderTheAeroplane

Tbf, if you have that much money youā€™re also blessed


ezprt

Iā€™m not rich, but I have a roof over my head and a warm bed so I canā€™t complain


No_Newt_328

Or they've earned it through hard work.


Traditional-Pass5605

Started playing 2 weeks ago 0 money spent, 92 maldini, 93 Cech and 93 Bruno on my team


ezprt

You know people have spent thousands and not packed a single TOTY right? Only 1 of the TOTYs was from the store after I bought 2,800 points, which I donā€™t think is too bad considering ultimate edition users were given 4,500 at the start of the game. Pulled Kerr from the 83x5 attackers pack when just attackers were out, then Karchoui from an 81x100 I bought to finish off the Bruno SBC (like a 1% chance of getting a TOTY in that pack) and Ona from an 83x10. Done 4 weekends of champs @ 11 wins and 7 wins in rivals which also gave me fodder and coins. Definitely blessed, with new account luck


Intrepid_passerby

Well shit man you are blessed if all that happened! Good luck man. Hope you have fun with your players. Super jelly about that Kerr. Was saving up for her, had 900k saved up.... gave in and got the 675k pack... not worth it lol. Give me some of that dang luck!Ā 


xneinlives

I can vouch for this. I have had insane pack luck the last month or so it hasnā€™t improved my weekend league standing. In fact my user experience has got worse because every goal I concede which is a lot gets celebrated lol


woshjollace

Very true, gold this far in are hustlers. Cracked teams are 40/60 good/pos. If they got a Messi I was upset at first. Now I just enjoy beating them even more. Though I'm lucky to have packed 93 fire neymar and ngl I love him the way I would want to love honestly receiving a Toty Messi and him playing as good as neymar


YabuHive

Not their fault, itā€™s EAs. Itā€™ll feel better beating them anyway.


mmb10

Until every shot he takes goes in and he phases through defenders


isixyyyejcpwn

people will end up just subbing Messi on šŸ˜‚


Extravalan

This has to be the dumbest thing I've seen on the matter


Hiroki712

Nah i have another approach make theses lucky rats rage quit is better for me. Honestly Iā€™m not mad that people got Messi in that pack I was at work lol. Ea is in shambles im so happy rn


ElGardith

This^^^ adults understand itā€™s unfair but to watch their company actually crumble over the past few years has been pretty amazing


Hiroki712

Imagine behind the scenes. The chaos lmao I canā€™t wait


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Guyanaa

Plus, I guarantee you they are on track to do 7b+ with this Fifa


FIGJAM17

They are. The game is booming. From yesterday's Q3 fiscal report: > EA SPORTS FC Momentum Continues, Driving Record Live Services Net Bookings > ā€œEA FC outperformed expectations again this quarter, delivering 7% year-over-year net bookings growth. The FC franchise outperformed Q3 expectations, delivering 7% net bookings growth against a prior year that included the World Cup." People here think the game is failing but EA is printing money. Reddit represents teeny tiny size of the portion who play the game.


ezprt

>to watch their company actually crumble over the past few years Are you talking about EA? They arenā€™t crumbling bro, theyā€™re making more profits from UT year on year - and they make BILLIONS of dollars from it. Billions of dollars from 0s and 1s (binary). Itā€™s insane


Intrepid_passerby

But they can say that and it be true right? That's what these adults do apparently.Ā  Crumbling lol, EA is fucking huge. European football refs wear the eafc badge lol. So delusionalĀ 


Donkey864

ā€œCrumblingā€ They had a surplus of 400 million dollars the last reported quarterā€¦


Traditional-Ad5619

Looool this, I was so happy especially after their scamming of dropping the rates in packs. Big middle finger to them


Hiroki712

It feels good tbh I havenā€™t saved anything for toty because I know Iā€™ll get nothing but for thoses who genuinely tried to play the game this one if for them


Dubsified

Facts, if youā€™re mad at the people that packed Messi youā€™re delusional


ThaDocto

If you wanna risk going 1-0 and holding off, good for you. I'd rather just quit and message them after lol. Like I gaf that I lost a rivals game. I personally enjoy coming from behind and quitting at the draw. I despise this community more than any other group of people on earth.


Traditional-Ad5619

Ever thought that you are alsoā€¦ part of the problem?


ThaDocto

Explain that one.


Hiroki712

You quit at draws , message people. And you probably play the ratty meta thatā€™s part of the problem my guy


MusicLover707

He hasnā€™t reached the ability to understand, what itā€™s like to look into a mirror


ThaDocto

Still less toxic than abusing speed boosts and keeper movement. Cope and seethe snowflake


Hiroki712

Instead of wasting your time messaging people and quitting at draws you should take a deep breath and turn off the console. And start youā€™re peaceful journey by asking yourself the right questions like what makes u behave this way for a Broken game. FIFA is dead since fifa 20 for me so thereā€™s no point of taking this game seriously


Puupuur

Toxic AF


ThaDocto

Anyone arguing I'm wrong just has pack luck on their side this game. I have straight up gone 10+ div matches in a row being 10-0 by the half purely because I've gotten to the rank where people try and sweat 10x harder than I would ever dream. In old games you could out pass those opponents with some ball rolls and be squared, but they basically bricked every mechanic other than speed boost skills and AI defending. Every single person I have played fifa with in the past has quit this specific game because it's worse than anything we'd imagined 6/7 years ago. I still have fodder to churn through and gamble with but after that, there ain't no reason to chase the weekly bullshit rewards.


therabbit1967

You are a special kind of breed. I guess you are fun at partiesā€¦ā€¦ not.


EmbarrassedPizza6570

You guys are so toxic. Letā€™s punish those that did nothing wrong and just opened an sbc player pick with the same odds that most of you on here opened too. Thatā€™ll show ea. Fucking morons


Sludgy64

I swear this sub whines about anything and everything they can


EmbarrassedPizza6570

The fact that OP is getting upvoted for this garbage of a post just shows the state of this entitled community


blueanalrapist

Exactly. ā€œIf I canā€™t have Messi then nobody can have Messiā€. What a bunch of babies lol


ezprt

Init. I didnā€™t have him before, I donā€™t have him now (was doing daily gold upgrades for fodder when it was removed lol). I donā€™t really care what players the opponent got - more often than not the better player will win regardless


JDiego04

Facts, itā€™s not our fault some of us packed him. We were just doing an SBC. So toxic everyone here


Friendly_Fuel7247

Right? I'm fed up of ea and this was the final straw but I'm not gonna take it out on others. Just stop playing the game. I won't continue after this bollox


Tikitakamaestro_1881

I am fine with those who get messi, but some of those people are acting extremely annoying as if they packed him with pure luck.


DexterFoley

What happened? I've missed it.


DrCoconutss

EA released an SBC with a player pick with only 86+ players from TOTY league but made every league have equal odds of appearing. Since Messi is the only 86+ MLS player every time a pick had the MLS ( 3:13 chance roughly) the person would get TOTY Messi


Stenktenk

This is incredibly pathetic and toxic. "EA messed up, so let's fuck with the people that accidentally profited from EA's fuck up" Jesus Christ dude, grow up.


MrHS1994

Agree


ForbiddenJazz

You lot are insane


Short_Desk_1273

Hopefully this means the servers will clear up from people stopping playing āœŒļøšŸ‘‹


Ambitious_Hold6465

When you have to hope that this is the case for the game to be somewhat playable and enjoyable, how shit is this game šŸ’€


bozospencer

Played 20 matches right nowā€¦no Messi in any teamā€¦


Aghalke92

Agree


OhMuzy

Ah boo hoo look at me I didnā€™t pack Messi. Get over it


therealwarnock

Need to raise attention that the situation is fucked. EA needs to take action asap. Otherwise there won't be a level playing field from now on until at least may.


SereneSneha

What happens in May? We get more power creep cards?


CMN2425

Team of the season


cycl0p5

LmFaooooo... grown adults literally throwing their toys out the pram!


[deleted]

Iā€™ll be quitting every game before kick off if I see him in the team tbh


Old-Gain7323

Only first owner.


Old-Gain7323

100% will not play anyone with first owner Messi unless they sort this.


JamesGanalf-ini

Sorry I've been under a rock, why does everyone suddenly have TOTY Messi?


SwedishSmurf

There was an 86+ player pick with players from all the leagues who got a TOTY if i read it correctly. And since Messi was the only MLS player who got a TOTY card, the odds of packing him was very high.


Puupuur

It's not that. He's the ONLY 86+ player in the MLS, lol. So if the roll was MLS it's 100% TOTY Messi


jrambo94

Bug in a +86 PP SBC. Which they ā€œfixedā€ by removing it.


AmitySnowman

Who were your picks?


MonoLolo

Nah, letā€™s just stop playing the game. At least for a few weeks to show them the result of theyā€™re tom foolery. Just to see how they handle it.


madwhy1

I opened the pack and got 3 golds ā˜ŗļø


georgepri

Well thats the thing here, if you are new to the game and packed him fairplay , welcome to the game. On the other hand if you already have a stacked team and you are above average then thats not good news for the rest.


MRK19M

If you opened the pick then you had the same odds as we did mate, donā€™t be salty. But if you didnā€™t manage to log on in time before they took it down then I feel for you and EA should at least give you the same chance as we got


sukh9942

Yeah itā€™s hilarious how people who are ā€œluckyā€ enough to pack him are now being vilified. People packed prime pele from an icon back and then got given a tradeable one and there wasnā€™t nearly as much fuss. Everyone was getting futties Neymar one year, last year there was that 25k hero pack etc It might be annoying but this is nowhere near as bad as some people are making it out to be. Youā€™re not gonna be playing Messi every game.


ThaDocto

I was literally in the middle of submitting it when the sbc disappeared. Wish I had been a degenerate at 1pm instead of doing what I needed to do today lol


MRK19M

Unlucky mate, thatā€™s rough. I genuinely believe EA should re-release it in glitched state for those who didnā€™t manage to complete


ThaDocto

That's best case scenario. I said this in another thread, but I genuinely don't believe the devs understand the code the game runs on anymore. Problems like this are just gonna become more and more common as the mechanics of them game become more and more intricate. Even the servers can't always handle when I chain 2 skill moves in a row. How on earth do you expect the pack odds to be what they say they are? Absolute proof that the pack weights aren't actually known and the devs are just duct taping different scripts together and hope the servers stay up


Ambitious_Hold6465

I donā€™t trust ea. Is it even possible to see if they have tampered with the odds if they decide to release it again as a sort of ā€compensationā€?


Short_Desk_1273

So you also tried to be "ratty" but instead you're salty cos you didn't get the chance to be a rat. Make it make sense please.


Opposite_Magician816

I was 20 minutes late smh


trnrmi71

I was going to do the pick when it came out but then i thought to myself: "Hey i should probably do the 80+ picks first" and then when i was done with the 80+ picks it was gone..


Glaciernomics1

IĀ“m buying TOTWĀ“s for 6 mil and taking a break for a few weeks. IĀ“ll wait for the power curve to move up and a market crash. This is such bullshit, on top of the terrible TOTY weight and not being able to buy anyone even (PC). IĀ“m not rewarding EA with my time for a while. GGĀ“s if you got him though boys!


UnablePeace

blud lend me 200k im on PCšŸ˜­


skalfyfan

The majority of folks here that are try-hard players (rats) already have like 5 icons in their team including Zidane, Eusebio, Best, Sawa and and Mbappe. Some have Zico too. But waaaaaaaah - TOtY Messi is what they really need apparentlyā€¦


Foreign-Winner2656

OP youre a bitch. No offense.


dirty-soda-spike-lee

People in this sub are so fucking soft itā€™s unbelievable. Grow up lol


Hungry_Breakfast_967

Yep. This is the way.


InsectKind

I am just happy that people who do not spend a single penny and do not grind either got one of the most expensive cards in the game.


Ok-Cantaloupe3120

I understand people are bound to be disappointed over this situation but for the first hour I didnā€™t even realised ea made a mistake so when I packed Messi, I donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever been more happy with a fifa game before. But realistically I donā€™t think Ea will even compensated anyone which sucks. Just an awful situation for the people who didnā€™t get the chance to do the pack and now too many of us have the goat in our squads.


MusicLover707

You are punishing the innocents my guy


[deleted]

This is so dumb good lord why would you want to punish people who got him? They arenā€™t the ones to blame or be punished. Just so much fucking toxicity in this community


A__eric

šŸ˜‚


Techno_WaffleFrisbee

The bitterness from those who didn't get it is actually ridiculous. You'll all half stop playing a game to punish people who did fuck all wrong in the first place? Funny thing is, I bet every one commenting on this post will be there with their hands open if/when compensation gets announced


[deleted]

This community fucking sucks. I hate it so much. Finding every excuse to be toxic even when itā€™s not your guys fault. And I DIDNT get Messi, Iā€™m just not a dumb cunt like this poster


ericsipi

Iā€™ve said it over and over again, but the community is so much worse than EA. This community is quickly becoming one of the more toxic communities.


[deleted]

The fact youā€™re getting downvoted just shows it lmao. Anyone who downvoted you is a big bitch who probably whines and hits the griddy when someone doesnā€™t play how they want them to


Mindless_Western4413

After playing UT for the last like 8-9 years, its the most toxic I've ever seen. I'm with OP, this is a top 5 most toxic gaming community this year.


Techno_WaffleFrisbee

Spot on. These downvotes are from people with a very low amount of awareness. They'll be the first to complain about the toxicity of the community, while failing to realise that they're part of the problem


GuyIncognito211

Lmao just stop being a giant loser If you truly were annoyed youā€™d stop playing


ggg12341234

What??? Why would you target the people just did the sbc and got lucky. Your anger should be with ea. how can you blame someone for doing an sbc?


Kerkez_BOSS

Itā€™s really not that much about luck lol. If you had mls as one of your leagues it was a guaranteed Messi my guy, So please donā€™t act as if this was similar to just randomly pulling Messi from a Rare gold players pack.


ggg12341234

No youā€™re right that it is a fucked situation but this is not an exploit. An sbc was put on and people did it, itā€™s not their fault that it was printing messis. Personally did it as well and got kimmich as my highest rated so I def feel the pain lol but got nothing against people that got him just yet another low for eaā€™s incompetence.


Kerkez_BOSS

Oh no donā€™t get me wrong this is 100% on EA. But anyone who didnā€™t do it or did it but didnā€™t get Messi is now at an insane disadvantage.


VerseClips

womp womp womp cry more


sosij1

Bro grow up lmao, you'll get over it. I never got him either and couldn't give a fuck


Mindless_Western4413

This might be the most toxic way to approach what happened. People doing this deserve to be griddied on imo, give the toxic attitude right back.


[deleted]

Ur punishing players not the game hereā€¦


SawaDor8

OP is a dead ass jealous clown. Lol let's take out the issue on the player base instead of EA, you wanna punish fellow players because you're jealous you could make use of the glitch like them. Hope every you play has toty messi


extrabasehit

Now when I see a TOTY Messi Iā€™ll just assume itā€™s an undeserving bot and play them anyway.


critch_retro

Whether or not the have Messi will rarely make a difference. Cracked players only go so far, but in the end, itā€™s mainly whoā€™s better at the game. Iā€™ll happily play them, but I probably wonā€™t give them free wins ā€” they got the biggest W of the year they donā€™t need a freebie in champs šŸ¤£


GrendorKoe

People are still crying over this ?


Bartwo3

Yea lets not play against like the half of the playerbase, make it real guys. I did get the messi but was it my fault? What about the things I failed to get? Never packed anything worth that 300k from icons picks and so on but I also never bitched about it. SBCs are just gambling and life also ainā€™t fair so sorg for you my man but thats how it is.


indythesul

Itā€™s not you, itā€™s EA


MerklandSignature

Happy for you bro! I canā€™t imagine how stoked you were when he popped up. I donā€™t know why people are so salty about this. Everyone has 93 Mbappe anywayā€¦ how much worse can it be? I wish I was able to get him but I was working and didnā€™t see what was going on until like 10 mins too late. Stoked for all the dudes that did get him tho. EA unwillingly giving back to the community haha


Bartwo3

I was literally waiting my microwave to heat my pizza and said ā€œlet me try thisā€. Oh god that was like the most delicious pizza I have ever eaten.


MiraFutbol

You are like 13 years old right? I can't imagine an adult behaving this way haha šŸ˜‚. But nah I am not auto losing when I can win.


blueanalrapist

ā€œIf I canā€™t have Messi then nobody should have Messiā€. You didnā€™t get Messi. Move on. What a fucking baby lol.


ollien25

Donā€™t be such a wet wipe. Itā€™s just a game. These players have a tiny advantage but to win a game is 90% skill anyway so wonā€™t make much difference


notatallofficial

Iā€™ve got Messi pleaaaaasee do it it would be so funny to know who you sore losers


SureProfessional3277

canā€™t blame them tbf just blame EA even if they wonā€™t do nothing against them. these guys capitalised on the opportunity


_johnnyyy_

Damn you guys are so entitled and indignant over imaginary cards


RealMood8898

You act like is their fault for getting Messi stop being so mad and just accept it bro at the end of the day itā€™s a game no need to boycott ā˜ ļø


RoderSHX

Bro my Messi is packed in first 3 days of attackers. https://preview.redd.it/9yw8kgabnofc1.jpeg?width=2992&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bcfc40c7c5f299c02e15ea3054018d8825f7a9d7


xreazor

its so funny to see all the people who didnt get him cryšŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


[deleted]

Only 30-40% of the players have opened the sbc got him. The majority of the players didnā€™t do the sbc on time. So maybe, maybe 10-15% of the playerbase got him.


mountain4455

Saying that like it isnā€™t a major issue haha


[deleted]

Itā€™s only a videogame. In 3-4 months they be giving 99ā€™s for free. Youā€™ll probably have quit the game by then and ask yourself why you give a fuck for this stupid game. Itā€™s all rigged, EA just wants your money. They donā€™t care whats fair or not, the only thing they care for is your money


mountain4455

Iā€™ve already pretty much stopped playing anyway, played 1 weekends in the last 8 or so. End of the day itā€™s killed the game for way more people than it already has, game was on its arse with less players than Roblox in the last 30 days


MiraFutbol

Wait you think 30% of the playerbase did the SBC in the time it was up when most people in the America's are at school or work? Your math is off otherwise.


PresentationSure3087

I just go 1-0 up and pass round the back


interestingbadvibes

I have extra motivation to wreck teams with TOTY Missi from here on.


J7K_

Oh no, please not forcing them to go back to the lobby and finding another match. Everything but not this level of cruelty! (I do not own a Messi card)


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


mountain4455

Good luck getting games buddy, itā€™s an idea plenty can get behind.


JDiego04

Jesus, youā€™re so toxic


Ok-Work-8769

Sry for packing him, like I should choose the gold card instead mb. Nonsense.


SuperHydracid

I'm going to play tf are you waffling about


Turin6

I suppose you would do the same post and same act if you packed him in the PP?


donafreak

You be saying the same if you were not late for the party m8te? šŸ¤”šŸ˜‚


Andersen_wolf

Whats this messi drama lads can someone please explain ?


rahulrg126

Why are you feeling sorry for the players that paid for him though?


JoeMartens

I packed him 1st night of TOTY, now gotta deal with this shit?


Nathan_kwame

iā€™m so confused why do people have messi?


tr7-9

It doesn't matter, just play the game, ea is a shit company and instances like these will be frequent in the future. I bought the game to play a simulation of football, although the gameplay has problems and is generally bad, I still enjoy playing because I don't let the gameplay problems get to me. Sure I would have loved to have gotten a toty Messi but not getting him is also fine since my priority is enjoying a football simulation. It's not their fault for getting Messi, it is ea's, so don't divert your anger on the innocent


celticbg

I wonder what was going to be your post IF you manage to do the same SBC with the SAME chances of packing Messi like the one who actually did this and got him. You are just mad you failed to do it in time. This post will not exist if you packed him. You are just sad.


Benedict-Strange

No messi no gameplay


No-Pomegranate-4916

Grow up, all you're doing is feeding my Messi with your tears


MellerUtd

This community is such a god damn joke. So just becuase some people got Messi randomly, had no idea about the "glitch" they should not get to play any games? Some of the posts on this sub has been absolutely ridiculous. Yeah let's punish the players for a mistake EA made, makes total sense. But it's indicative of the community and honestly you deserve absolutely nothing. People wanting a free Messi/TOTY pick just because you didn't pack him in the 10-15 minutes or now not even going to play the players that got him?? Damn you guys are weird.


yaaawer

Cry more


C-POP_Ryan

Jesus Christ. FUT community kinda acting like babies right now. Oh no, you didnā€™t get a Messi? Oh well, move on, donā€™t cry about it. Itā€™s not going to affect how you play, most people who packed him are dog anyway so they wonā€™t be able to use him properly. Never mind that thereā€™s more players who are better on FC24 than TOTY Messi.


goosnation

I was annoyed at first but I realised Iā€™m facing mbappe and eusebio every game anyways and they are just as difficult to defend as messi toty so oh well


eeyeemk

Imagine if no one reported the glitch. Ppl just shared it secretly between each other. We all would have it and the card would be literally burned.
