Watching a few videos of people opening their 3 x 84+20 and they're absolute trash.

Definitely gonna stick it out for Vieira this time around...best thing is I have 47 tokens remaining as I used 3 already so it means I only have to get 40 tokens and skip the rest. Don't think there's anything good below 8 at least.

Not amazing, not bad. Loads of great fodder. Did the Moriantes SBC, and did another World Cup Hero SBC and got Dempsey.

which means I’ve got five attacking heroes and no defenders 😂

martyos121 · 26-11-2022 9:38pm

You’ve done well there Lord, definitely better than my three anyways, not that I was too unhappy though to be fair. Seen so many worse results on Twitter, one lad had Gulacsi, Sommer and Thiago as “walkouts”. 😂

Lord TSC · 26-11-2022 10:08pm

Yo, hang on, what the hell…

martyos121 · 26-11-2022 10:54pm

87 Rivaldo and his glorious 2 star weak foot for me.

If I didn’t have bad luck…

It's the damn patch.

13 wins in WL this week, pity I couldn't get the 14th for the rank up.

I played the same guy 2 games in a row which I didn't think was possible in competitive modes.

Blazer · 27-11-2022 12:34am

Did the icon sbc, duplicate Van Basten who got kicked back in and gets Pires then.

I shouldn’t complain but my pack luck has been dreadful since I got R94.

Redzer7 · 27-11-2022 8:55am

Haven't played it since shortly after the patch is it still the same just hit and run? If it is I can't see me playing it again to be honest.

Yep basically the same

Osmosis Jones · 27-11-2022 9:38am

Another thing they've seemingly forgotten about is that OTW cards are supposed to get an upgrade if their country wins a WC game, no OTW upgrades have been applied yet.

Sudden Valley · 27-11-2022 11:37am

What defensive style and depth are people running with after the patch? Getting hosed defensively at the moment after patch using pressure on heavy touch

The meta now is to sit really deep.

Pressure is still very overpowered, that nerf they did a few weeks back has had minimal effect.

BrentMused · 28-11-2022 1:37pm

Up to about 3m now and will be taking Vieira from Swaps.

I'm stuck now between continuing to build for someone like Mid Guilit, or to just stack the rest of my team.

Imagine Guilit and Vieira as a CM partnership! 😯

Osmosis Jones · 28-11-2022 5:29pm

Packs are about as bad as I've ever seen since the WC started, every single minimum overall guarantee pack gives the guaranteed minimum overall/cheapest possible return. Every Icon and Hero pack has been the absolute worst card available, most recently with an 86 Non-WC Al Jaber from the 86+ Hero/WC Hero pack.

I've even bought 2 of those 100 player packs and haven't seen an 87 yet.

Blazer · 28-11-2022 5:38pm

Same for me.

it’s shocking how bad they are. It’s really ridiculous how EA are so miserable but when previous CEO’s have stood in front of EA staff and boasted how they’re absolutely screwing over their customers I shouldn’t be one bit surprised.

Lol I bought one of those 100 players packs and got Ruben Dias and then about 5 84s and 94 76-83s.

A total waste of time.

Honestly right now I'm bored of the game. I find the World Cup promo seriously dull, there's no effort. I can't even be arsed doing swaps.

Lord TSC · 28-11-2022 7:45pm

Wow, they implemented a “10 games max an hour” in the swaps friendly mode as the “fix” for the soft ban issue 😂

Means even if you win every game, you can now only earn 5 tokens over a three hour period. At best.

I presume you can bounce back and forth between old gen and new gen to combat this?

For anyone who has the Ultimate Edition, this is how I've been avoiding the soft bans to date.

I've barely started with the tokens, got some time off work coming up and was gonna go at them for a bit but it sounds like a slog now.

Yes I think I might just get to 10 / 20 tokens max and take the packs.

This promo sucks.

Osmosis Jones · 29-11-2022 3:46pm

Add to that my first game in a few days I get to play until the 11th minute before my opponent rubber bands and I just have to sit here doing nothing for 10 minutes.

mutley18 · 29-11-2022 8:25pm

World Cup Icon Viera has been completed.

Initial thoughts, absolute beast at CDM in a 41212(2). Worth the grind.

And now I must touch grass as I forget what it feels like.

Can't wait to get him.

I didn't purchase the store tokens so I think the max I can get at the moment is 38.

Did you get the store tokens or have they released enough via gameplay now?

Calvin · 30-11-2022 2:32am

Lost track of the amount of packs / upgrades I’ve opened and still yet to get any sort of promo card! Just finished off the last of the mastery ones today - 125k pack gives me my best pull over the last two weeks… an 87 Verratti.
