    Say what you will about icon swaps but being able to grind for 2 icons is pretty fucking cool imo

    Posted: 12 Oct 2019 06:36 AM PDT

    What would have cost me crazy amounts of coins can now be achieved by playing the game, and if I only get enough for 1 or don't have enough time to get them all? So be it, I've been critical of EA for the lack of content but this is a nice step forward, more of the same please

    One of my favourite FIFA Youtubers. Hes so chill and funny, not because of his editing or anything, its just good entertainment. Plus he is a good player who uses different players and formations.

    When you see so many youtubers talking about meta and that kind of stuff it really feels like a breath of fresh air to see someone caring about having fun over other things.

    And he is pretty talented, his songs in his intros are also good.

    Yeah, definitely recommended.

    Change my View: People complaining about icon swaps being in Rivals would complain about them if they were available through friendlies and could be cheesed

    Posted: 12 Oct 2019 12:18 PM PDT

    Christ it's a free icon. "I keep playing hard teams that don't care about the icons!" - no shit it's not supposed to be a cakewalk where you go on beginner, smash the AI 18-0 in the first 25 minutes, and then set your controller down.

    It's not even about defending/shilling for EA, this community gets the company it deserves whenever they whine and bitch about every decision made.

    Time Analysis of Icon Swap Batch 1

    Posted: 12 Oct 2019 04:55 PM PDT

    For the sake of discussion, I wanted to try to calculate a rough expectation for the amount of time required to unlock the tokens for icon swap set 1.

    ICON SWAPS PROGRESS (1 token)

    • Score 20 goals with first owned players in Rivals
    • Play 20 matches in FUT using at least one first owned player

    ANALYSIS: These are very easy objectives and will naturally be completed by anyone who plays DR to unlock the other objectives, so I'm going to add no time for this segment. It is essentially a "free" token if you play online at all.

    ICON SWAPS ONLINE (7 tokens)

    • Win 3 DR matches using a full gold squad max 83 OVR squad rating
    • Win 9 WL matches
    • Win 3 DR matches using at least 7 first owned EPL starters
    • Win 3 DR matches using at least 7 first owned Serie A starters
    • Win 3 DR matches using at least 7 first owned La Liga starters
    • Win 3 DR matches using at least 7 first owned Ligue One starters
    • Win 3 DR matches using at least 7 first owned Bundesliga starters

    ANALYSIS: The WL token requires 9 wins. If each match takes 15 minutes and you win all 9 on your first try, that's roughly 135 minutes of gameplay, or 2.25 hours. Since it's very hard to win every WL game, this is likely to take most people 3-5 hours at a minimum. The task of winning 3 DR games with a gold squad max 83 OVR should be easy to complete naturally in the process of playing DR, so we'll also call that a "free" token. The other 5 online tokens cannot be completed concurrently and require specific squads to finish. If we assume that each match takes 15 minutes, that's 45 minutes per token if you win every game you play. 45 minutes x 5 tokens = 225 minutes (3.75 hours). Add the minimum time from the WL objective (135 minutes) to the minimum time from the DR objectives (225 minutes) and it means you will spend a minimum of 360 minutes (6 hours) to complete the online icon tokens, and likely a lot more than that when you factor in losses and draws. A more realistic estimate for an average player would be something like 10-14 hours to complete all of these tokens.

    ICON SWAPS SINGLE PLAYER (4 tokens)

    • Win 6 SBs on min. World Class using a full gold squad max 83 OVR squad rating
    • Win 5 SBs on min. World Class using 11 MLS starters
    • Win 5 SBs on min. World Class using 11 CSL starters
    • Win 5 SBs on min. World Class using 11 Eredvisie starters

    ANALYSIS: The objective to win 6 SBs with a gold squad max 83 overall can be mostly completed while doing the Eredvisie portion of this, though it cannot be done with MLS or CSL because they lack gold defenders. We'll still call this a "free" token because it will essentially be finished while you do the Eredvisie portion (and if you're strapped for time that's the first step you should do). That leaves 3 tokens, each requiring you to win 5 matches. 3 x 5 matches x 15 minutes per match = 225 minutes. So, if you win every game then you can get all of the offline tokens in roughly 3.75 hours. If you struggle to win against the CPU on WC then this can stretch out considerably.

    CONCLUSION:

    • Add the minimum time for the online objectives (6 hours) to the minimum time for the offline objectives (3.75 hours) and you get 9.75 hours as the absolute minimum time to unlock all of the tokens (possibly slightly lower due to rage quits). When you factor in the probability of losses in DR/WL/SB and the fact that games can drag due to replays, pauses, and extra time, it probably looks more like 15-16 hours of gameplay to unlock everything, and more than that if you're a weak player. Bear in mind that season 2 will have its own objectives, so if it follows the same general pattern then you may need to tack on another 12-15 hours to get the top items like Drogba or Butragueno. So overall you're looking at potentially ~30 hours of gameplay if you want Drogba.

    • People will say this is a "free" icon, but there is obviously a time cost, particularly if you're an exclusively online or offline player who doesn't want to delve into the other modes. 30 hours of gameplay for the most expensive reward is a time commitment roughly equivalent to playing 3-4 full WLs.

    • People will say the community is "entitled" for complaining about this promotion. Personally, I think the promotion is nice...as an addition what we already had. It gives people rewards for playing the game and incentive for trying new squads and modes. If you don't think it's good value, you can simply ignore it.

    • The problem for me is that this wasn't added as an addition to icon SBCs, but rather as a replacement for icon SBCs. There will be no individual icon SBCs in FUT 20. This change has been framed as a generous measure to help a larger portion of the player pool access icons, but it actually seems like a thinly-veiled measure to widen the paywall separating players from top-tier content, as you will no longer be able to build towards the likes of Gullit/Eusebio/Vieira/R10/R9/etc, and instead will have to settle for whatever icons EA offers you on their schedule, using their objectives. Overall, players have less agency and power in the process than they have in the past. This seems to be a deliberate strategy from EA, beginning with "icon sets" in FUT 19 and the refusal of PIM SBCs for the best players (R10, Gullit, Pele, etc). This year it has evolved into a more rigid system where you get what they say, how they say, when they say.

    I would take revamped servers over new features

    Posted: 12 Oct 2019 07:02 PM PDT

    I honestly don't know how after many, many years of FUT this is still an issue. It's getting to the point where I don't think they know what the issue is. It's either that or they're just generally unwilling to invest into their server infrastructure.

    I would honestly take better servers over any new features in the game in the next iteration of Fifa.

    Player strength- what’s the f**cking point

    Posted: 12 Oct 2019 08:59 AM PDT

    What is the actual point of having any defenders. Maddison pushing lenglet to the floor. Akanji simply unable to hold of Jessie Lingard.

    I've conceded so many goals by through balls where a 5foot8 midgit pushes my 90 strength defender off the ball and runs clear.

    This game is literally trash. The nerve of EA to claim it's a new innovative game is laughable

    I’d rather have a 1 goal lead than a 2 goal lead

    Posted: 12 Oct 2019 09:00 AM PDT

    As soon as I go up by 2, they come back and tie it within 10 minutes. My players instantly turn to shit. Can't win a ball. Can't make a pass. Response is almost nonexistent.
