    The Moment things are kinda neat. One tip I have: pick up a cheap Free Kick beast (Gareth Bale or Griezzman are solid options)

    Fred is still a legend

    The ones that are like "score with a CB" you can just put your best players there and dribble past everyone and lash it in too

    Note.

    If you buy a pack in the moments market it auto opens.

    I wanted to save the Jumbo Rares until OTW.

    IF Savanier came walking out.

    Gulasci and Ramos behind him, no others 83+.

    Yeah, I ripped the 64 token one. Nothing too major out of it, but some good starter players: Joe Gomez, Bremer, Richarlison and a load of SBC fodder. Quite tempted by that Di Maria for the Bremer link

    Foden (from the welcome packs) and Alaba from the 4,600 points sold to net me over 50k. I also packed Varane from the points, but he has a min sell of 101k, which is useless.

    Pretty much fuck all from the welcome packs and the points. Harry Kane was the best, ratings-wise but no meta players

    How did you get 64 tokens so quickly? Is there a crib sheet detailing how to do it all in x number of games?

    They're all super quick scenarios, not full games (just get used to abandoning them if it's not working out) and easy enough. I just rattled through them while watching the England game

    Cheers Raoul. Last question, are we still in the 10 hour trial period? I thought we were but my game made no reference to it upon entering and exiting.

    Probably best off getting it into fodder - loads available in the 85-88 range for around 5k

    Prices seem to have gone up a bit and I reckon they might crash hard when everyone gets their Tesco basics version.

    Which versions are people using? I tried the PS4 one to start and I have to say, I don't like it. It's far too fast, so this might be the game that finally gets me next gen.

    I hope it's just a case of getting used to it, but I fear the new system (which I much prefer in actual matches) is so unintuitive when it comes to glancing at the screen and knowing what you need to get the chemistry up.

    The last segment of MM's took a genuine age to get 26 chem on. A 75 rated team would have taken seconds last year.

    Silver Beasts end pack. He's untradeable but it's a phenomenal start, seeing as the actual game isn't out properly until Friday

    Him untradeable is the dream. You can't turn down the coins if you pack him tradeable at this stage as I did last year, but using him all game cycle is a fapworthy prospect.

    He's also bonkers at this stage.

    I took his loan out for a spin in rivals tonight, really fun but I've now got to sit him for some schmuck. Likely Timo Werner or Greaseman.

    Yeah - I'd be interested in trying to trade with the coins this early and see what I could do with them, but as it is I'll just use him and try and get 1000 games with him. He'll be in every team I build until next May or so.

    Now weighing up whether to shoot 50k on Kimpembe

    The Serie A one is 100% banter. 50k for an 82-rated card...or just but Bremer for 5k who is better

    Got TOTW Akanji out of a pack just now. Looks a bit of a beast

    Just logged on, and well, those are two SBC's I won't be doing.

    Decided on a no FIFA points game, bar when a special pack is in the promo section, like the Welcome pack one there now, which didn't turn out that great.

    Even simple throwaway ones like the "Trade 3 CB's" or whatever it is in one of the basic SBCs.

    They now need 1 chem point for each so you can't just give them any 3, they all have to be linked.

    I have been messing around with WebApp and finished hybrid nations today

    VVD, OTW Nunez, OTW Schlotterbeck, IF Eriksen and Kimpembe from the packs.

    Will be solid for if I pick it up later on.

What you get then is a system that nobody really knows how it works any more and as such cannot really fix, more than enough to bodge it and everyone carries on. The only way to make it fully better is to start from the ground up, but then that is extremely more expensive than just bodging it.

    There was a Twitter thread from a guy that's worked with EA for years and has said that this is essentially what they have going on now. They've built on top of previous versions so much that even simple things, the example given was cross play on pro clubs, take an absolute age to implement and even longer to do properly.
    As such FIFA 23 is in a mess apparently. The big wigs dont want to tear up trees and rebuild the game as the current way of doing things earns them £1bn+ each year.

    The hope is that EA Sports FC once that launches will be that chance to start anew, but I'm not holding my breath.

    I think it's more likely to come with next years game if I'm honest. That'll be the biggest chance for a ground-up rebuild. I know it likely wont happen but you never know.

    Your post (re: the tech guy from EA) is literally what happens at every tech company. I do wonder how much they are rebuilding from the ground up for the next game
