    This might have been the best week we've ever had in terms of content

    Posted: 12 May 2021 03:33 PM PDT

    1. Everyday from friday to today (and maybe tommorow?) we got awesome content at 6pm

    2. one of the best player picks all year

    3. the tots team was very good, and pack weight was higher than the past 2 tots, i got 8 out of 15 laliga tots with 0 duplicates (maybe it was just my luck)

    4. doable and usable objective cards

    i can't remember any week like this except maybe summer heat

    what is going on at ea?

    but still it makes me angry at how they treated the prem tots

    How rare are icons? Like really.

    Posted: 12 May 2021 08:07 PM PDT

    Context: I've been playing since fifa 14, but only played casually from 14-16.

    My grinding years really starting in fifa 17. I always watched videos on how 'rare' and 'prestigious' icons were are how I was debating switching to xbox to use them.

    Once they got added to PS on 18, I was convinced since I played the game so much I would pull one, but nope. Same story for 19 and then 20.

    Fast forward to 21. I've played this fifa wayyyy more than any other fifa. A gold 2 player, div 3, whatever. I've never pulled a Ronaldo, messi, neymar, etc. In any fifa before this one.

    This year I've pulled 94 Ronaldo, Neymar, mbappe and just now TOTS Messi (my best pull of all time nothing even comes close).

    But how have I not pulled an Icon? Not even a Nakata?

    Like how rare must these cards be? If I pulled a tots messi before an icon in 3 years of then playing, then are icons just insanely rare?

    Also, I've never spent money on this game, could that be why? Most of my packs are UT sbcs or player picks. But I still get rewards weekly, and have never seen the white flairs.

    Has anyone else been like me, played for years, have pulled insane cards, but never an icon?

    Just curious.

    Why the center back position is so messed up this year

    Posted: 12 May 2021 07:26 AM PDT

    I can't be the only one who is massively pissed off that actual center backs aren't the best choice to play at center back, other than the elite tier (which of course includes gold Varane) most center backs just do not operate properly partly because of the way the game mechanics and player themselves are designed. There are three main problem areas that i can see that are why we have a full back at center back meta

    Pace - Pace this year is atrocious, the difference between the different levels of pace are stupid, you try a sprint race between someone with 90 pace and someone with 60 and you'll see it's totally unrealistic. In real life pace is a big plus, its why players like Mbappe and Sterling and Adama are so effective, but the extent to which it is shown on the game is stupid, it basically means that you have center backs released in the game, and even like 2 or 3 months ago with maybe high 70s pace and people say 'they're not quick enough', WHY THE FUCK IS THAT THE CASE. Center backs are not in their nature quick, you don't need to necessarily be rapid to be a good center back (as I will explain later), so a lot of center backs are some of the slower players on the pitch, their job is not to have running races with forwards thats the job of a full back by-and-large. It's completely distorted what their job is on the football pitch.

    Crossing and headers - Around 80% of a center backs job in real life is dealing with areal balls, that's why by and large they're tall and strong so they can rise up and fight for headers with forwards and generally come out on top. This year (as with last year) crossing and headers is fucked beyond belief so much so that it's a pretty useless avenue of attack. People just sit in in the box and watch as you try and play through their lines, so here the center back's job is to catch any forwards that slip between the lines (hence why they all need 90+ pace) and then also need the agility of Neymar to keep up with the twists and turns of their nimble forwards. If crossing was viable, for a start you wouldn't just sit in your box as it'd be too risky, and also you would need your big center backs to fight with their forwards for headers, using Freeze Adama or FB Mendy wouldn't cut it if you had a big 6"3 forward flying at crosses. Currently instead of center backs and full backs we just have essentially four full backs, the reason the meta is full back at center back is because they are basically playing as full backs.

    Tackling - Tackling likewise is fucked beyond belief, how many times have you been defending an opponents attack and counting how many times you successfully tackled your opponent as they keep picking it back up. And when this is the case you don't really want a big lumbering center back who made a great tackle which they immediately went back to their Mbappes feet, you want a player who can make a decent tackle and then have the agility and balance to not fall over and make the inevitable second and third and fourth tackles. If you actually won the ball when you made a tackle you would favor players with really good defensive stats rather than players with decent ones who have the dribbling ability to deal with the bullshit that follows.

    It just genuinely angers me that EA have designed a game where the position in the game is so far detached from reality that its commonly accepted you'll see full backs at center back and other than a select few center back cards when you start up a game and see your opponent is actually playing center backs at center back you see it as a plus for you. Is anyone's 'Ultimate Team' really playing Mbabu and Klaiber at center back over literally some of the best center backs in the world currently and in history.

    I'm amazed by how good TOTS Rúben Dias is

    Posted: 12 May 2021 04:53 PM PDT

    A beast, a tank. And finally a card which the high strength actually reflect well in game. It is the first time I see that.

    At first I was disappointed for packing him, but now I'm fully satisfied.

    Redlisting and why it almost certainly exists

    Posted: 12 May 2021 01:20 PM PDT

    About an hour ago I made a pretty controversial post complaining about unfair pack luck and redlisting. My post was mostly based on anecdotes, which I knew was gonna be a problem for some people. So, I am revising my post, and looking at things as objectively as possible to show you why I fully believe that pack luck in FIFA is rigged.

    ​

    The one thing that people really got stuck on is this idea of posted percentages in the store. The idea that your pack says a 5% chance of getting a TOTS, so everybody must have the same chance. I actually agree with this. Even though according to Wikipedia, "There are presently no laws regarding loot boxes in the United States", so EA could technically stray from those percentages, I doubt they would. That would just open them up to many lawsuits. Is it possible that EA breaks these laws through sheer greed and incompetence? Yes, but we aren't considering that.

    ​

    The first and most important thing to understand is that the posted percentages are almost meaningless. What immediately comes to mind is that every pack had a <1% chance of packing a TOTS. <1% means anything between 0 and 0.999999. Every pack you opened during TOTY could have a 0% chance of a TOTY, while your mate's packs could have a 0.8% chance while still having the packs you open being adherent to their guidelines.

    ​

    Secondly, its important to understand that EA is above all a business. Content this week has been incredible. But don't let that distract you from all the negative changes EA have made over the last few years that have slowly killed the game just for profit. EA is always after profit, so from a purely business standpoint, it makes sense that they would mess with packluck to increase engagement.

    ​

    What could this mean? Two situations come to mind. The first is streamers. If EA juices Castro's pack luck, the people watching will feel like they actually have a good chance of getting good packs. So, they go and buy FIFA points that they might not have otherwise bought. The second situation is the possibility of an engagement-based pack luck algorithm. It would be so simple for EA to do something like that and it would probably boost their revenues massively. So, from a coding standpoint, I am going to go through one possible way that EA could mess with pack luck while still adhering to posted probabilities.

    ​

    The first thing that is important to understand is how RNG works. A truly random number is impossible, but computer algorithms get very close, so for our purposes, we are going to assume that RNG is truly random.

    ​

    The way that most RNG works is that the program spits out a number between 0 and 1, and then you add a multiplier to get that number to fit your purposes. For example, if you want to randomly generate a number between 0 and 100, you multiply your randomly generated number by 100, and then your maximum value is 100, and your minimum is 0.

    ​

    My proposition is that every pack has two randomly generated numbers. The first determines whether or not you get a promo player, and this number likely strictly adheres to posted guidelines. Let's say, for example, that a 125k pack has an 8% chance of TOTS. SO, RNG gives you a number, EA multiplies it by 100, and if the number is 0-8, (or any range of 8 numbers from 1 to 100), you get a TOTS. This would allow every pack to be "random", and adhere to their posted guidlines.

    ​

    The second RNG number is where things could possibly get fishy. Now that EA has legally determined whether or not you get a TOTS/TOTY/FB card or whatever it is, they have to determine who you get. If I was EA, what I would do is I would have each account assigned multiplied based on an algorithm, which takes into account skill level and engagement. I would give lower-skilled accounts and lower engagement accounts a higher multiplier, as they are the customers that EA has the highest risk of losing due to frustration with the game.

    Then, what I would do is this. I would assign each promo player a range of values. I'll make a quick example.

    ​

    Neuer 0-500,000
    Trent 500,000 - 600,000
    Lewa 600,000 - 650,000
    Kimmich 650,000 - 700,000
    Davies 700,000 - 750,000
    Ramos 750,000 - 800,000
    De Bruyne 800,00 - 850,000
    Van dijk 850,000 - 875,000
    Bruno 875,000 - 890,000
    Messi 890,000 - 900,000
    Mbappe 900,000 - 905,000
    Ronaldo 905,000 +

    As you can see, the basic gist is that more expensive players have a smaller range. For this example, your second RNG value would multiplied by 906,000. Thus giving you a chance of packing every player, as you can get any number 0 - 906,000, but your chances of packing a better player are much lower because they have smaller ranges.

    ​

    Now, bring in the multiplier. An engagement algorithm could give each account a different multiplier. As long as its over 1, you have a chance of packing any player. But lets say they give a really bad player a multiplier of 25. Now, the RNG which spits out any number 0 - 1 only has to spit out a 0.04 or higher and you are guaranteed a Ronaldo. The basic idea is that probabilities would follow like this, with better/more expensive players being higher number and smaller ranges. Then, a second multiplier would be added, which could increase your randomly generated number and make it more likely that you get a higher number (more expensive player).

    ​

    In before the Tin Foil Hat comments,lol. Just think about it though, it makes sense. If EA did it this way it would most likely give them adequate protection from false advertisement lawsuits, at least in the US, and it would allow them to increase engagement, thereby selling more points and making more money. It's just business.

    ​

    Of course, this is all unconfirmed, and its a bit of a conspiracy. But all the pieces fall in the right place. I can almost guarantee that everyone reading this has a mate who barely plays at all, or who plays the same as you, yet you always get shafted yet they always pack the best players.

    ​

    Tl;dr - EA almost certainly has the legal ability to screw with pack luck in a way that increases engagement, and they absolutely have the coding ability to do so. They most likely do screw with pack weight to the greatest extent possible, because, well, money.

    Tips sharing thread !!!

    Posted: 12 May 2021 09:08 AM PDT

    Share some tips with fellow FUT gamers which might not been widely known, but could be a game changer for some one...

    I shall add the tips I find in the comments onto the main description...

    • 352 users, put one of your wingers on come back on defense and one of them on balanced defense, and you effectively have a 433 while defending and 352 while attacking (this was a game changer for me)

    • use the futbooster page to find the best chemistry option amongst your 11 players (I use this every week when I add a new silver player to my silver squad)

    Edit :

    • Change through balls from assisted to semi

    • Use sbc brute forcer to know the player ratings required with your high rated fodder for sbcs

    • From corners, players with +90 curve can score by aiming the corner to the furthest post and powering up to about 4.25-4.5. The ball curles in to the near post, and For some reason the GK dives out of the way 60% of the time.

    • L1 + Square when clearing underpressure. Sends the ball nice and high and much less likely to be blocked or intercepted by an opposing midfielder or attacker. Also if you have a good aerial forward, they'll normally win the first ball.

    Thorgan Hazard appreciation post

    Posted: 12 May 2021 07:11 AM PDT

    I got the game in December and did that first party bag SBC. I got FUT freeze Hazard. He carried me all the way to div 4. He was an absolute jet. Then over time, I had trouble fitting him into my team, and he slowly started edging the bench. Now he doesn't fit at all and I am deciding to put him into the 85x5 SBC. (Last time i got de Jong TOTS) All good things must come to an end :'-(

    Thank you for your 281 games of service and all 394 of your bangers

    Edit: This isn't really a serious post, but fr Hazard was so good for me
