| This game is 1000 times more fun offline with a friend/family Posted: 26 Dec 2019 01:17 AM PST Yesterday for Christmas I went to my brothers house and we played some offline games, first time either of us have done it on this game Holy shit it's infinitely more fun. Yeah the gameplay feels more different, but you also use players you never would otherwise. We had Veratti against McTominay in midfield compared to the usual Sissoko vs De Jong. Different teams have different pre set tactics which we didn't bother changing, so Liverpool had 8 depth and press after possession loss which was fun to see rather than 3 depth vs 3 depth. Most importantly, there's just no animosity or toxicity. Whenever someone scares a bizarre goal we just laughed rather than getting pissed off, or if we screwed up a good attacking chance like a 3 vs 1, we just laughed at how good the defender did. I know it won't always be practical but I'd urge as many of you as possible to spend more time playing with friends in real life, or online friendlies with real teams, not FUT. [link] [comments] |

| Getting rid of icon sbcs was the worst idea from the community pov but very good for EA Posted: 26 Dec 2019 10:38 AM PST I'm not saying everyone miss icon sbcs but I believe most of us do. Icon swaps are cool and all because you can try out icons for essentially "free" but if we look at the prime icons market we can clearly see it's shambles right now and the whole swaps idea was made to:
Prime icons are out of reach for most of the community (some of them are extinct so literally unavailable for all of us) and when someone says that casual players weren't able to get the icons last year... Sbcs were available for almost the entire year and you could've used untradeable players from rewards etc This is just my opinion but I think icon sbcs were 10 times better than what we have now.

| For all higher division players... Posted: 26 Dec 2019 10:41 AM PST ....welcome to division 8. Please let us at least score 1 goal. It puts a smile up on our face. After that go for it and dont forget to send us a nice message with tips how to become better players. [link] [comments] |
| Value of icon swaps per token (higher value is better) - PSN values Posted: 26 Dec 2019 10:26 AM PST |
| If completing Objectives (Icon Swaps or whatever promo Objectives) is not fun for you, don't do it. Posted: 26 Dec 2019 06:43 PM PST I don't have a single Objectives-acquired player in my club. I have one Icon Swaps token from last season sitting in my club and I've no idea how I got that. No, I didn't do Futmas Roussilon, no Scream Dzeko, etc. and I have no plans on doing this new season of Icon Swaps. Simply because Objectives have totally ruined the entire Rivals experience for me this year and I know I'm not alone in this. Yes, I'd love to get Zambrotta into my team but there's no way I'm going to spend that amount of time, anger and effort just to get him. I'd rather spend the time to trade and just buy him off the market. Remember, the coins you spend are not real, but the emotions and time you invest in the grind or the shame in messaging random strangers to give you a win are very real. And trust me, you can still build a bloody good team when you focus your energy on other aspects of the game that're not called Objectives. Seeing all the complaints in this sub means I'm not the only one who feels this way. If Objectives is fun for you, good, go for it. If it's not, build your team with a little more creativity (I'm so sick of playing against baby Guardiola, and he's not even good) and spend more time earning coins instead. You'll get there faster than grinding for Objectives. Don't let the fear of missing out ruin what's already a bad game for you even more. Cheers. [link] [comments] |

| I can't believe a lot of us believed the propaganda about Icon Swaps Posted: 26 Dec 2019 11:23 AM PST EA tried telling us this was to make icons more accessible for the casual player and to not artificially boost icon prices that would be used in Icon SBCs. All this did was make the top tier icons unaccessible to 99.9% of the player base. On top of that the challenges aren't even great for casuals. If they released good icons with decent challenges in swaps then sure it would have been ok but these challenges are crazy. 18 Squad Battles with 6 on legendary and 12 rivals wins with 9 first owner requirements in 14 days. How is that for the casual player? I play a decent amount and that seems daunting even for me. EA really fooled us into thinking this was anything but a way to make us spend more money.

| Posted: 26 Dec 2019 09:52 AM PST Preface: I'm just a bang average player, bouncing between Div 4 and Div 3. I usually stop at Gold 2 for WL, but I can reach Gold 1 if bother finishing all 30 games. Ever since I started FUT last year, I have been trying out different formations every now and then. But, somehow, I always struggled using 4-at-the-back formations. I couldn't defend with a backline of 4 to save my life, and most 4atb formations didn't fit the way I attack. I gave 3-5-2 a go during TOTS last year and I've never looked back. This year I gave 4-2-3-1 a go, but I found my attack lacking in any sort of threat. I tried 4-1-2-1-2 narrow, but my defense was so vulnerable and this formation congested the centre of the pitch too much for my liking. I also tried a few 4-3-3 variations but I struggled to get my wingers more involved and my striker felt isolated. So... I went back to 3-5-2 and things became good again. Before I get into the instructions and tactics, let me briefly explain why 3-5-2 is such a great formation. First of all, it's unique in the sense that it's a formation that gives you two CDMs (like 4-2-3-1), two wide players (like 4-3-3), two strikers and also a CAM (like 4-1-2-1-2 narrow). This means while you're going to be very defensively solid, your attack can be so versatile and unpredictable because you can attack from either the wings or the centre. Secondly, with the right instructions, you'll always be defending with 6 players (3 CBs, 1 CDM, LM and RM), and attacking with 6 players (2 STs, CAM, 1 CDM, LM and RM). It's so well balanced. Thirdly, with 3 CBs means you can always pull one CB slightly higher up the pitch to break down attacks even before they start, and still have two CDMs and two CBs to provide sufficient cover. The "problem" with this formation is that you need very specific players for it to work, or else it'll all crumble. Specifically, your wide midfielders are the most crucial. I'll get into the why shortly. Now, let's start with custom tactics. Defence Defensive style: Balanced I kept this on Balanced because I like my players to be where they need to be when defending. I don't quite like the Pressure variations because their aggressive nature meant my players can get dragged out of position once I miss a tackle. Width: 4 I find 4 the sweet spot because I need my 3 CBs to be moderately distanced from one another when I'm dealing with a counter attack. Too wide, and there will be holes in between my CBs. Too narrow, and my wings are exposed if my wide midfielders can't get back on time. Depth: 4/5 I try not to sit too deep because I hate giving the opposition space to pass around outside the penalty box. With quick and agile CBs, I love pulling one CB up the pitch to disrupt any attack. Offense Offensive style: Balanced. I trigger runs manually so Balanced works best for me. Don't like Long Balls because it exposed me to counter attacks if I misplace a pass. Width: 5 I left it untouched at 5. You don't want too much congestion, nor do you want your players to be too far apart. Players in the box: 6 I bumped it up to 6 to give me more attacking options in the final third. Corners and free kicks: Entirely up to you. Now, player instructions. GK and CBs: Everything on default. Your CBs need to have good pace and maybe decent agility, because when they need to cover the wings when your wide midfielders cannot get back in time, they will play like full backs. Ideal players: Militao, Varane, Futmas Murillo, RTTF Diego Carlos, RTTF Joe Gomez, RTTF Juan Jesus, baby Cannavaro, baby Carlos Alberto, Lucas Hernandez, RTTF Konate, Scream Otamendi, Scream Romagnoli. LM and RM: Come back on defence, stay wide. The most crucial spots for this formation. Your LM and RM act as full backs and wingers for your team, so you need players with high stamina (at least 85) and pace, and very well rounded stats in defending and passing. Ideal work rates are H/H but I find H/M to be acceptable. My suggestion is to start with a 5atb formation and switch in game because full backs work really well. Ideal players: IF Telles, League SBC Dalbert, Zambrotta, Mendy, IF Pereira, Mbabu, Alex Sandro, Roberto Carlos, League SBC Aguirregaray. CDM 1: Cover centre, cut passing lanes, stay back while attacking. Basically the destroyer. Breaks up plays and never roams up to the final third. Should have M/H work rates. Ideal players: Kante, Allan, League SBC Tonali, League SBC Battaglia, Witsel, De Jong, Vieira, Makelele. CDM 2: Cover centre, cut passing lanes. This will be your box to box midfielder. So you need well rounded stats across the board and someone with excellent stamina. He will contribute to your attack as much as your defense. Should have H/H or H/M work rates. Ideal players: Flashback Paulinho, Sissoko, Wijnaldum, Goretzka, IF Delaney, Vidal, Nainggolan, Ballack, Matthaus, Gullit. CAM: Stay forward. The player that links your defense to your attack. He's the pivot of your team so don't stinge on this position. Should have H/M or H/H work rates. Good stamina is a must. Ideal players: Whatever you like. I personally prefer pacey and agile players like Scream Insigne. Players like De Bruyne works well too if you know how to get the most out of them. STs: Get in behind. Your strikers should constantly look to break the defensive line and get through on goal, so try to get players with a bit of pace. Ideal work rates are H/M. Ideal players: Whatever works for you. Edit: With this formation, try to keep hold of possession and play to the formation's strengths. Keep the ball in the centre of the pitch, wait for your opponent to start committing players in the middle then spread it wide, ping it to your CAM then release the ball once your STs start making runs. I find this playstyle suits the formation really well. Don't expect it to be a 0-100 miles an hour counter attacking formation. This is how my team plays in game for your reference. I know I should be doing a lot better with that team, I was actually one win away from Elite last WL, so I'm looking to break into Elite this WL. For reference, I tried playing with 4atb formations this year and not once have I clinched more than 15 wins in WL. Clarification: I'm not saying 4atb formations are shite, I'm just saying they may not suit everyone's playstyle. I know players who can go 30-0 with 4-1-2-1-2 narrow and 4-2-3-1. But if you're like me, well, maybe you can give 3-5-2 a try and see where it takes you. I know it can be intimidating playing with a 3atb formation, but I genuinely think it's more defensively solid than 4atb formations as long as you have the right personnel, because you actually defend with 5atb most of the time. Give it a go, give it some time and you may love it as much as I do. It's honestly a very fun, versatile and multi-dimensional formation that doesn't go stale. I hope this guide will help some of you who have half the mind to give 3-5-2 a try for this WL. Feel free to ask any questions! [link] [comments] |
| This is how you fix the requirements for iconswaps AND relegation issue. We have the technology. Posted: 26 Dec 2019 03:24 PM PST So I hate squad battles. It's easy but I hate it. I love rivals and from time to time WL. I like knowing it's a human that's feeling the wrath of Akinfenwa. That's why I don't even use him in SB for Iconswaps. And if I lose, I can handle that better. Celebration I enjoy and then watching replays just lets me get a beer real quick. Anyway, here is how you fix these requirements and the relegation issue: higher difficulty requires fewer games. If you're division 1-3 it requires 2 wins. If you're 7-4 it requires 4 wins. In 10-8 it takes 8 wins. This would incentivize people to stay in higher divisions. I mean tweak the numbers but the principle would help. And for squad battles, I can tell you I'm not playing legendary with EPL2 and I'm not using Saudi Arabian league in world class. Obviously doing it in amateur is a cheat so make that take 20 games while legendary is 3 and go from there. Again tweak. And how do you earn the wins if you do one setting and then change? Maybe go off points based on difficulty. Higher divisions take what 4 games to qualify for WL aid you start from 0? Apply the same logic, even to squad battles [link] [comments] |
| Can we please start a movement to bring Icon SBC’s back? #BringBackIconSBCs Posted: 26 Dec 2019 03:11 PM PST Ronaldinho and Veira are amazing, but getting just on of their base versions 2 months down the lane is really not worth it. Plus since they won't be included on any icon swaps after this, there is no way I will be able to get both their Prime versions unless I have insane pack luck or pay and open a lot of packs. There is a high chance EA wouldn't do anything, since this paywall means people will be tempted to spend more money. But lets at least try and bring it to their attention that we would really love icon sbc's. [link] [comments] |
| 22 days since the last league SBC Posted: 26 Dec 2019 06:15 AM PST Are they ever going to release them? The last one was on the 04th of December OCTOBER 23, 2019 Bundesliga OCTOBER 30, 2019 NOVEMBER 04, 2019 NOVEMBER 21, 2019 NOVEMBER 25, 2019 NOVEMBER 26, 2019 NOVEMBER 27, 2019 DECEMBER 04, 2019 Why do the release 4 in a week and then nothing for a long time besides the Süper Lig who interests nobody.

| Posted: 26 Dec 2019 07:25 PM PST I did this for the first two sets and the posts were well-received, so I thought I'd do it again. This time around there are 6 tokens available, 3 in SBs and 3 in Rivals. I'm assuming that it takes about 15 minutes (.25 hours) to complete a match. OFFLINE TOKENS
Altogether, if you win every match on your first attempt, you are looking at 4.5 hours to claim the three offline tokens. ONLINE TOKENS
Altogether, you are looking at an absolute minimum of 3.25 hours for the online tokens if you win every match on your first try. As this is not realistic for most players, it's likely that it will take 5-6 hours for most people, if not a little more. Adding 4.5 hours for the three offline tokens to 5-6 hours for the three online tokens gives an expected cost of about 10 hours of work for six "free" tokens. If this ratio holds for the future swaps objectives, you'll be looking at about 30 hours of grinding for someone like base Ronaldinho or mid ADP. That's the equivalent of playing about 3-4 full WLs for your "free" icon. [link] [comments] |
