When the star wars controversy kicked off EA responded to their stockholders by saying that ultimate team would more than make up for any losses from the backlash. Some people speculate that they reduced the pack odds to icrease profit.

Personally I don't think they have to considering all the lightning rounds sold out and they let the 125k packs up for a day instead of an hour.

Thanks for the response but what was the star wars controversy?

Out of curiosity has anybody opened one of the 125k packs. I was thinking of spending 20 euro on points but idk if it's better to buy one of those packs or wait for the christmas lightning rounds.

Ive 200k coins sitting there i dont know what to do with but i swore off packs a few years ago however ive gotten so dulled by the game in tempted to just blow it. Ive played about 6 games in the last few weeks. I dunno if your any better or worse waiting, potentially you might make more on unwanted players now than at xmas with price drops so id pull the trigger now rather than waiting

They locked everything behind lootboxes to the point where it would take 40 hours to unlock darth vader in the new star wars game. This was the tipping point and now governments/people in general are looking into the lootbox/fifa packs = gambling which is why it's negative for EA.

If your lucks in it's in, but they are the best pack available in the game in terms of getting the most rare players that will be worth the big bucks

You won't get better packs, 50k and 100k are the same in terms of price to rare players and with the 500 points free you won't get it cheaper

I opened one and got griezmann and two discard informs in same pack.

You won't get any better pack then 125k pack to find players so if you want to buy now is as good a time as any with a totw In packs and totgs. It don't mean you will get anything but you probably have as good a chance as ever.

I got Danny ****in Blind..the most useless card in there.
That's out of 3 of them. I wouldn't waste your money unless you can spare it.

Got kinda bored of my Italian and icon team yesterday I missed using players from premier league so sold up and again I managed to sell everyone for more the I paid for them had 3.3 million cost me 2.9 3 weeks ago.

So built some pace porn




Loving Hazard in the middle and Hagi is way better the Rui costa for me he is strong and fast.

Is there ways to buy fifa points without being near a computer. Tempted myself.

Gyan84

Went from 7-3 to 8-5 and there was nothing I could do about it. I had one match where my defender teleported a good two feet behind del piero because god knows the player with del piero needs even more help.

Can anybody confirm that you get 500 extra points with purchase ? I was going to open a pack but then noticed that 20 euro gives you just under the amount needed and I'm not going to spend more.

shamrock55

I've decided I'm not gonna pay real money for FIFA points,its only a game after all,I bought the game and ea aren't getting anymore of my hard earned

The Ultimate Packs are a fcuking joke.

William fcuking Carvalho.

Fcuk off. Serves me right for spending money on virtual fcuking footballers, back to career mode for me.

Gyan84

I bought one too.

Got a discard inform, diego costa and a good few 84/83s. Overall not bad since it should push me to enough coins for totgs firmino.

I can't see myself spending more unless they ever have a sale though.

Loads of packs being opened and everyone is trying to sell.

Glut of players on the market due to totgs.

Speaking of which...Firminho is an absolute beast with over 90 dribbling and ball control.

Update: moved totgs Firminho to CAM and bought Zlatan up front to partner with potm Mane.
Also bought IF Kolaisc and IF Mustafi and the team is really playing well. Zlatan is unreal as well. I got him in a pack a few weeks back and sold him for 160k.
Bought him yesterday for 55k

Got to 18 wins and stopped. I was going to continue but in my last match, playing against a guy with 5 or 6 icons my eriksen misses an open goal but I defend perfectly until the last minute of extra time when I block the shot, he hits the post, hits the goalkeeper and then scores. 4 rebounds straight to him :rolleyes:

Played 20 games of WL an could barely find the time for that, I did the full 40 game weekend a couple times last year but it just leaves you feeling miserable. Is there a single other video game that only allows you to play its competitive mode on weekends? It's such a dumb system.

It’s bull**** and I refuse to buy into it. Even squad battles I don’t bother my hole with it

Finished off the hybrid SBCs tonight, got Totgs Tosun from one pack and Alaba, Mane and Martial in another. I swear those packs are weighted better or something.

Similar happened to me a few weeks ago. The cynic in me says they match you with people you're likely to lose to in order to make it more dramatic in the hope that it'll keep people coming back.

and reading the above makes me glad I never bothered with it.
The thoughts of playing 40 games of fifa over a weekend would drive me insane
