    News about the lawsuit filed in France

    Posted: 11 Feb 2020 11:40 AM PST

    Hi FIFA fans,

    As some of you heard last week, two lawyers filed a lawsuit against EA after two of their clients decided they had enough of spending money on an unfair lootbox system. Last night , both lawyers were with Psyko17 (french youtuber/streamer) on twitch last night to talk to the French Community, they explained the details of the lawsuit and what to expect from it. This is going to be a little summary in poor english for the reddit community of what I understood on stream. You can still watch the full interview in french on twitch. My translation is not a 100% accurate.

    The main reason they are doing this is to get full transparency over what the consumer is really buying when spending FIFA Points on packs. Laws in France are very strict when it comes to lottery systems, odds need to be very clear. The fact that EA calls their virtual money "Coins" and that those can be gained through real money and also that they take a 5% cut on every card you sell is enough to have FUT be considered a Lottery System or a Casino in front of the law, EA won't be able to defend their Surprise Mechanics without providing full transparency of the pack system in the last 6 years.

    They also pointed out all the shady mechanics they noticed in the game right now :

    - Odds transparency : "<1% chance to pack a Special Card" is not clear enough and is considered unfair to the consumer.

    - Market and Supply Regulation : they noticed that pack weight was not random like it should be in a lottery. During TOTY, they saw that the total number of TOTY De Jong on the market went from 0 to a 100 in a matter of seconds even though the lightning rounds had begun way before. This can be proved 100% with the Pele Icon card that wasn't available in packs on FIFA16 (Edit : It was on FIFA14) and suddenly EA listed 4 on the market. And the 5% cut on every trade can be considered a Casino practice. And also they noticed that the market value of a player influences the odds of packing this exact player.

    - False claims/advertising : EA still uses the term "Promo" to advertise their packs to consumers, even though in France using "Promo" means that the product needs to be sold at a discounted price, which never happens on FIFA, the price of packs never change even during Black Friday where they just make tens of millions on a event that's supposed to be about saving money.

    - Planned obsolescence/DDA : by regulating the supply and the market EA is responsible for the prices dropping during the year. And so deciding when a card will have no more value. They also raised concerns about unfair mechanics inducing you to change team and make trades even when you have your Ultimate Team and all the best players.

    - Addicting/casino mechanics on a PEGI 3+ game : Pack animations are similar to slot machines animations and has a similar effect on the brain, these mechanics shouldn't be allowed on the game made for 3 years old.

    The risks for EA if they fail to provide answers :

    EA can be asked to provide full transparency about pack weight on the last 6 editions of FIFA to national administration and an investigation could be opened. If EA fails to collaborate with the law, they could be facing a fine as high as 10 percent of Ultimate Team Revenue over the last 6 years. Also they will also have to pay damages to the players who spent money on FIFA Points. And of course, actions will be taken in France to remove FIFA Points from the game.

    ​

    Edit : Thank you for the comments and upvotes.

    This post proved to me how crucial transparency actually is. The reason we, as a community, are so divided is because we give a lot of time to a game that doesn't let us know how the reward system really works (we know nothing about packs and even in game we have to figure everything out by ourselves from unclear tactic options to lazy game mechanics). So everyone comes up with their own little theory which is always based on opinion or experience more than proved facts. We know so little about the game that we can never have healthy debate.

    So please don't downvote comments because they're not your side, explain your thoughts and hope that someone else agrees. Think bigger and realize we all here are very passionate players who all agree that the game is fucked in some way.

    People in the community are starting to tweet #ICONSBCs to try and bring them back to FIFA.

    This is what you should expect from the 80+ upgrade

    If you complain about the game but buy fifa points frequently...you are the problem

    Posted: 11 Feb 2020 05:17 PM PST

    I'm over seeing people complain about the game yet still load up 50k fifa points every day (content creators mainly)

    Like the game is more broken than ever before and these guys know it and complain about it yet they still just feed EA money.

    I get it they need to for "content" but if all ur content is made on buying points and opening packs then you must not be very entertaining..

    Future Stars - Zaniolo - Objectives + Stats

    Those Zaniolo objectives are so much work for a pretty average upgrade over a card that's been available for 15k since December

    The real reason i miss icon SBCs

    Posted: 11 Feb 2020 04:18 AM PST

    It would be nice if EA would allow us to filter by "first owner" given how many challenges require it.

    Posted: 11 Feb 2020 01:32 PM PST

    I have a general idea of who is first owner, as anyone > 84 who is untradeable will be and anyone < 80 I didn't buy, but why can't we filter by first owner to do these icon challenges..

    Guide to the most annoying cross abuse tactic around.

    Posted: 11 Feb 2020 05:07 PM PST

    After a great response from the last Brexit footy guide. I decided to head back to the drawing board to stir up what again would be another controller smashing tactic. I figured maybe there were some boring Arsenal/Barca/Ajax fans that couldn't stand having their Messi's and Bubamabitche's faces being pushed in the mud by Tarkowski and the rest of the English Championships best, so this could maybe suite their taste better.

    I'm going to break down each stage of the game from Balanced>Defensive>Stoke Mode. Now I put most of my focus into the art of crossing. I tested different variables and there were a select few that stood out the most. If you can perfect those then you can score crosses like 2014 all over again. The formation is what iIlike to call 'A flexable 3-4-2-1'. I know I get sick to my stomach hearing that 3atb aswell but after a long discussion with My assistant coach, we found out it could quickly play as a 10-0-0 like we dreamed of.

    Balanced Tactic here There's a couple rules to FIFA when playing this. And the first one is you should never hold sprint on the attack. Not down the wing not anywhere. Crossing/shooting/passing/dribbing holding sprint is awful. Take a fucking breath and let go. Name of the game is the 'Wesley Button' (LT/L2). It will take some time but using this to turn off opponents and pass the ball is the way to play. It's a must! The attack requires pinging the ball between Glenn Murray and Deeny up top to hold up the play for your team to move up. The more your team naturally moves the more chance you'll get the script. No bullshit here. You NEED the the players with the highest physical. My team here is exactly how you should line up. Solid English box to box midfielder along side someone on steroids. And of course. *3 TARGET MEN** up top. Yes. Great fun for your opponent but you'll be needing these boys to smash them into the net of course. My objective is to just bully my opponent with needless shielding of the ball for 10 seconds at a time just to give him PTSD of being picked on back in grade school. "You guys are playing Fifa out there while im playing chest". Complete control and dominance is what you're shooting for. No betas here.

    Here's the crossing variables. Don't hold sprint to cross (along with good crossing stat). Aiming right at the net (heading accuracy included). And most importantly the amount of power. I found out the more power you put on a shot/header, the higher chance you actually have of winning it. That is why when the ball is in the air for the keeper and if you hold down a full power shot, the keeper will usually just punch the ball away. I've tried several games doing this to just see how my heading won percentage would do and it increased a drastic 65-93% over the course of about 10 games.

    The best way I could describe how crossing works is by this.. I guess.. If you get the perfect power you will feel it. It makes all the difference. If your strikers receiving it around 20-18 yards you can sometimes get away with 100% power. Following the image its self explanatory. 80-90% towards the top area of the box and so on. I thought maybe the more powerful the cross is the less power on the header but i don't like to over-complicate things. Crossing early when the strikers still outside the box is more effective because it allows you to place more power while accurately heading towards the target, without it flying over.

    A quick example of an attack i found is this. I slowly and cautiously worked the ball to either my LF/RF where they hold it up towards the side of the pitch for your wingers to overlap and cross. Again, You want to try to cross it before your players are in the box. DO NOT hold or be holding sprint while crossing. Just a simple X with what you can imagine is enough power to reach your desired mutant in the box. I only go for crossing stat on my LM/RM because pace tempts me to hold the sprint button. It's needless now. Wing backs with high physical like Robertson or Dohrety are class here. Along side Michael Antonio for your Brexit throws into the box up the field. Heres a more goal of Glenn Murray just bullying the opposition

    Playing on pressure on heavy touch ensure your defenders stay in what i like to call The 50/50 zone of your opponents for their counter attacks. What I mean by this is, on the defense you need to see and time the runs of your opponent. When you think you have a 50/50 chance of winning that ball. You take your closest player, Hold the sprint button, And FLY into a challenge. If you have solid big players and always go feet first you will win the ball back within seconds of losing it constantly. I start from the midfield and send them up 1 by 1 at full speed to put their bodies on the line for the team. I figured if you have about 5 players behind the ball and decent decision making you have about 5 REALLY good chances to win it back. Instead of possibly 1/2 in your own third. This works. And will ensure your dominance on the pitch. You are almost ensured a top 100 slot if you perfect this 70's Leeds mentality.

    Defensive

    Now here's when the bullying really happens. Ive adjusted the formation back to a 5221 and set everyone except the forwards to pure defensive instructions. You will need to go to your formation > in the tactic settings and manually move the positions around to your original balanced sheet how you'd like it or else you will get your LWB at CM and all that mess. Your main source of attack is smashing the clearance button the second you get it because like I have mentioned before, it will not even lock the opponents defenders onto the ball. Almost every hoof I make with that button, I catch the other player running the opposite direction the balls now going. I use a combination of shielding the ball down and through balling it to the other forwards or just scripting together whatever I can. Now if you're somewhere in the midfield, the best thing to do is give it to a striker for the give and go. And when he's running forward, when the strikers about 35 yards out or so(depending where you are). Give him a LB+Y / L1+Triange into the top section of the box for him to bash past the keeper. Use the power suggestion I mentioned before. It's just another rock in the sock to beat your opponent senselessly with. My defensive tactic if my grey zone where i throw it on right after I take the lead and it's before the half for me to switch on the next beast below.

    Stoke Mode

    Now this is a different game. If you really want to see that nil - nil win then follow these instructions. After I bag myself a few bangers I throw this on about half way through a match. 3-1-4-2 is the name 10-0-0 is the game. What I like to do is run a ST back (after I put on strikers get back) right in front of the defense and hold the shield button while you manually mark/cut the passing line to his striker. Let the broken AI take him out when he tries to sprint by but it works. Stay in front of the ball and bash it as far away from the net as possible when you get it. Out the park. Whatever it is just away!

    Ultra Attack

    lol, I never concede.

    All in all. I've never enjoyed FIFA more and have hopped into division 1 today with just Murray and Carrol leading the way. Brexit football will live on yet again. There is nothing better than a 1-0 win with 8% possession and 3 reds and 8 yellows. But with a little bit of practice on this tactic you'll be winning even 2-0. That's twice the goals! I'll add/edit when I feel like it. Enjoy

    Instructions

    Balanced: ST> Stat forward>Get in behind LF/RF> Get in Behind LM/RM> Come back/Stay Wide/Get in behind CM> Stay back/Get into box/Cover Center

    Defensive ST>Get in behind>Stay forward LW/RW>Get in behind>Get into box CM>Stay back/Cover center/Stay on edge RB/LB>Stay back

    Stoke mode ST>Come Back I think CM> Stay back> Cover Center RM?LM?>Come back>Come Short CDM>Cut passing lanes>Stay back>cover center CBs> BREAK EM LEGS M8
