My biggest problem is how greedy they’ve become. Back in Fifa 2014 Gold cards felt like Icons and were affordable now they rig the gameplay were you basically have to update your team every promo to keep up. Now they sell guaranteed Icons in the first month of the game for a quick buck
FIFA 10, 11, 12, 13, 15 and 17 were the best FIFA's. UA-camrs ruined it, coin sellers ruined it, weekend league ruined it and the endless new cards everyday ruined it. I remember winning division 1 with a Brasilver team. Those were the days.
I spent on TOTY and after seeing how rigged the pack weight was, I vowed to never spend another dime. And I didnt. If there was I player I really wanted but never packed, oh well.
Remember when you could win game after game against gold players with a silver team, if you were a good player... Good luck now, with the AI automating everything with the higher rated players

The entire FIFA franchise is literally like anti-football, absolutely nothing realistic about it but they keep trying to gaslight you into believing that. Players & the ball itself CAN PHASE THROUGH each other, fouls are non existent, there's no handball because in the code the ball is always fixed on a player & not a free flowing object so they cant add it, players don't score long shots every game IRL but they do in FIFA, teams barely score from corners IRL but you can score on every corner if the opposition players is bad enough in FIFA, players don't spin around in circles & dribble back & forth IRL, players cant magnetically tackle the ball or tackle from behind like that IRL, the ball doesn't bounce to the opposing team on every 2nd ball IRL, players don't fall over with stupid animations IRL and allow the other team to score. You get the point, the list can go on and on.
@@HessenUK Because they have a monopoly on licenses & the bar is extremely low for the average person. It's ok if you accept whatever trash is thrown at you, we all don't do that though.
Bro corners are broken because of a glitch I can’t do nothing about it stop the yap and quit this shit game instead of waffling like pick trust me quitting fufa was best decision
@@Mamutels Bro, I just came back because my boys wanted to play clubs but I haven't bought a FIFA game in 5 years, I'll wait till it becomes free on game pass. Playing seasons or UT is a no go for me because everything is just AI automated, unrealistic & trash.
The golden age of UT was fifa 10-14. It was a wild west. Nobody knew what they were doing. EA threw content at the game to see what would stick. Gaming wasnt "mainstream" yet so the casuals hadnt taken over as the main demographic for EA yet properly. Bronze players meant something(lee trubdle as an example), silver players meant something, ( brasilvers. OG neymar ect) special cards were special and seeing a team with multiple you knew the guy had put hours into the game.
Ea is just getting the basics of a football game wrong man. Why is it that every new fifa there’s a “more effective way of scoring or playing “? It’s football ffs, sure it has evolved in the last decade but not the basics of the game. In fifa 19 it was long shots, broken crosses, first time finishing. I swear every new fifa we’re all thinking “ what’s the most effective way to attack, score and defend ?” . There shouldn’t be a META in a football game.

its a game dude, there will never be no meta, there is meta in EVERY SINGLE GAME, there always be a way to score that is more effective than everything else, u cant avoid that
@materekpl6032 but why is the meta so effective? It doesn't make sense. Its not football. Why are diagonal finesse shots from 40 yards out literally easier to score than a shot inside the box. Why are volleys more effective than regular shots when in real life they are harder? 😂
@@materekpl6032 you just defended the trashy gameplay by saying there will always be a meta, even though the meta in these games are horrible and flawed.
Anyone who thinks FUT is bad has never played Madden Ultimate Team. FUT is miles ahead and better in so many ways, it’s also easy to build a great team in FUT without spending a penny. The app is also good. MUT is the biggest cash grab ever, you can’t even put your non auctionable players in SBCs (sets). They have sucked all fun out of it.
Yes the pool is smaller, but that doesn’t mean the mode has to be. It used to be really enjoyable and fun. They have sucked everything out of it. For example, they now have BND players. These players not only cannot be sold but you can’t put them in sets (SBCs) either. They quicksell for virtually nothing. There are so many examples I could give.
Man I spent hours in that Asain theme arena with Ronaldinho. What a time I also stand by this, I think trading should come back and would greatly improve the game. People who be much more inclined if you could wager cards against friends or even a cup where you wager against random opponents
Honestly the main thing that killed ultimate team is DDA, shocked it wasn’t mentioned. It’s all tied into all these gameplay issues. If people weren’t giving up kickoff goals, 90 minute goals, or having their players run at 21 speed when they are up by 2 goals they wouldn’t park the bus and play all these boring tactics. All these “visual bugs” that have happened over the years of older cards stats being nerfed and the cpu difficulty changing from legendary to amateur in game aren’t visual, they are the hidden background mechanics at work. It’s what’s wrong with the gaming community. DDA and skill based matchmaking have killed online play due to corporate greed, they think these close games are more engaging and cause to consumer to spend more time and money in the game. It’s infuriating
You do understand that the clock stops at 45 and 90 and gives extra time so statistically there are way more goals in 45 and 90 minutes then any other minute of the game
@@Cfeqt Because skate doesn't bring out a new game with new servers yearly. Also, EA wants to disassociate itself from FIFA in every possible way, hence the FIFA servers being disconnected asap
TOO MANY PROMOS. That's EA's problem. Most of us don't spend multiple thousands per year on UT so for us to get a rare gold high rated player is a win but then you have sweats and gambling addicts with 95 rated players after a month of the game being out
I still remember the original TV advert for FUT. They showed how I can put kaka, rooney and any of my favorite players in one team. That's all I ever wanted.
Ultimate Team will never die, no matter how bad it is because people like you keep it alive because you need the content money. All of you streamers & UA-camrs complain but continue spending money on thousands of FP & the game itself
fifa really shifted when they changed the game engine. it was a fun arcadey game that ultimately fell victim to EA wanting to dual use the battlefield game engine. it sucked all the fun out of the gameplay with how real it was trying to be. now it's menu grinding and gambling.
Like the guy who made this video, I have played fifa for many years, and it will always give me great memories. However ultimate team has become both sweaty and annoying in most aspects. To top it all off, I was market banned last week for coin distribution. I have never once been involved in this. EA refuse to offer up an example of this on my account despite an appeal. EA have a 1 star rating on trust pilot and only because 1 is the lowest. It's so sad to see this franchise and company fall off a cliff for paying customers.
I stopped playing in February, been playing since 06. This is the first time i didn’t even bothering to pre order it. Gameplay was so terrible on my username, it felt i was moving trucks in mud and getting pissed off because of EA not fixing the game. Every other game connection was perfect. They destroyed it completely.
I dont think theres a way to take back the amount of promos they've done, I remember how people mocked the silver week back in 22/23, and even that had some objective content... promos arent bad theres just a lack of casual options and a large emphasis placed on store packs
For me personally the game died when they made so many special cards. When there are new special cards everyday none of them feel special. I prefer when you had TOTW, TOTY, TOTS and Icons. I would also keep POTM and Heroes but bin basically everything off and make special cards feel special again
I personally think the number of promos is not the problem, for me the problem is the promo packs in the store and the weekend league + rewards system, if the old system came back it would be better
PES 6 was the best game. All it needed was online Master League, licenses and squad updates. I really liked a lot about FC24 but there's so many animations now. If you don't have basics like first touch it's like watching people try to trap a sofa. 😅 Sometimes 3 touches off the knee, shoulder and hip. 😂
They killed their own game, it’s actually crazy how it’s literally a game!! Something that’s meant to be your escape, instead they make rules and take things in and out of the game as if its breaking the law lol
FIFA 12 was my first ever ultimate team I would spend hours playing with the default team ultimate team gives you when you start out and would just delete the club once contracts ran out as I was only ten and did not understand what to do in ultimate team, I still have the best memories from playing fifa 12 ultimate team as I was learning all these different things about players totw transfer market how to do contracts and player fitness it was amazing I used to get beat heavily by older opponents and would spit my dummy out quite often with it and my dad would ridicule me, this was all over once fifa 13 came out and I was a bit smarter and grown up, the fun I had on fifa 13 was unbelievable tried to be a youtuber played friends all the time tried to win division 1 played bronze and silver cups it was just the fucking best fifa 12 and 13 ultimate team, I feel so old but also sad it will never be again
Pretty soon the transfer market wont exist and every card will be untradeable. We are pretty much there rn. I think i have 2 tradeable players in my starting 11.
Sitting all day unpacking 84*10 to unpack 85*10 to unpack 93+ and get something to play with and catch up with nerds who has 1 thing to do in life or mommy wallets…Soooo fun! UT became 100% for teens actually. No respect for older people, who has job and family to care about and just want to buy game and have fun in UT, and not lose every game because they don’t have meta. This is why I stopped buying FIFA, and download it from game pass in the end of the season. Play couple of month and quit for the rest 10. This is what fifa did with people who played it for 25 years. Shame IMO
This is so true. People wouldn’t mind using shit cards at the beginning but now .. most of the community feels that they need to have an 86 rated team day 1 which is wild.
Ea has been killing the franchise slowly but surely for years already. The fact that FUT players are only now realising how trash the franchise has become is mind boggling to me. But hey i guess thats what you get for throwing money and supporting the online gamble machine for so long
In fifas beforehand it was money loaded onto your PlayStation account for PlayStation and Microsoft points for Xbox players. I miss the days of loading a £20 Microsoft point card for my birthday and packing Toty kompany in fifa 12. Nowadays I pack a team of the tournament mbappe without the slightest smile. Ahhhh the gamblers spiral
15:08 I agree with you on there being way too many promos. No time to enjoy the cards you get because in 4 weeks, there already exists 5 newer versions of the same players and yours have been nerfed to the ground. Also doesn’t help that their promos mostly feature the same players.
At this point the only saving grace of Ultimate Team is playing in the summer where they give everyone loads of Super Packs like 85x10 SBCs, so anybody can get top players for free after enough time. Beyond that, the game mode has gotten more pay to win and toxic than ever.
I agree with the most of his points… but I feel what really killed the game is UA-cam. So many people showing broken mechanics is why gameplay is so repetitive
Playing with Ibarbo, Doumbia...etc...got SO BORING after hundreds of games. If you weren't pay to win, you had virtually no way to upgrade your team. The way the power curve is always evolving is actually good for the game. Obviously, EA are scumbags and the way they run the shit is abominable, but the game is more fun now than it was when we were kids. The nostalgia blinds us. Also, I don't buy the "too many promos" sentiment. If there isn't a constant stream of new content, everyone complains and/or doesn't log on.
ye too many promos is wild statement, while i can say they increase power curve too much, but then if there is no promo for 2 weeks 90% of the community cries and says its boring af lmao.
@@materekpl6032because the gameplay fucking blows, so the only thing people want to do is collect cards 😂 when the gameplay was much better, no one cared there weren’t many promos ….because they were playing the game
@yegfuf the gameplay was super basic and very same-ey. There were no objectives and a lack of game modes. You had online seasons and that was it. If you think the gameplay was godlike in the day, and that kept people playing all summer, you're sadly mistaken, lol. Is that how you think it was??? The guy that made the video wasn't even making that point, besides one line where he called the gameplay "arcadey." And I literally said "PLAYING WITH IBARBO, DOUMBIA, ETC...GOT BORING." JFC
@xUB34xR0UG3x "When the gameplay was much better" ahahahahahahahhahha Dude, the game has always had its issues, people just bitch about it constantly these days because content creators have convinced them that it wasn't always that way. It was a casual game then. No UT Champs, less reason to rage over gameplay. In FIFA 10, if you had a player like Lampard, you could score FROM INSIDE THE FUCKING CENTER CIRCLE If Weekend League existed back then, the community would have been whining about it non-stop like they do now. Except no one would have heard them because social media wasn't what it is now. You have no idea what you're talking about. Thanks for the laugh, though.
Been playing since fifa 98 on the Sega megadrive 🤣 might have been the master system, my favourite fifa though was the first one with Bale at Real Madrid in the orange kits, I probably played more seasons that year than I have done ultimate team the past few years
The way EA implemented those skills like trivela+, anticipate+ etc...they should have given every player those skills but will rank low or higher depending on the player. If they were going for realism then every player should have those skills. Another thing that should be in their skull is that its a game let the players decide how fast and how slow the game should be for them.
20 minutes on nick waffling. What a great way to start a day
YES!!
You day started at 6pm ? 😂
When do you start ur day bruh 😂
11pm here ☠️
Could live in Japan or something
One of my problems is also the focus on untradable players can’t remember the last time I had a full tradable team
This is got mbbape tht day but i was sad its untradeable
agreed. Surprised its not mentioned in the video. We used to get decent packs and that led to a decent return from making sbcs.
@@TheOne_7866ur sad he was untradeable? 🤣 ungrateful kids man I swear

I don't think football games will ever be more fun than FIFA 05/PES 6 for me. That nostalgia hitting crazy
I wish they’d just stop releasing so many promos. FIFA 12 was the GOAT FIFA and FUT imo. I wish we could just go back to that…
Most likely never gonna happen. They make too much money.
Remember when TOTW was the only weekly promo
I caught a look at the amount of different cards available in this edition is SHOCKING
Even compared to the last
everybody would get really bored if you had a promo for a month for example
HELLLLLL NO 😭😭😭
FIFA 10, 11, 12, 13, 15 and 17 were the best FIFA's. UA-camrs ruined it, coin sellers ruined it, weekend league ruined it and the endless new cards everyday ruined it. I remember winning division 1 with a Brasilver team. Those were the days.
Proud to say. That I haven't spent any money on this game besides what I paid to get access. Haven't bought fifa points this edition.
Same here.

4:45 my first ever football game. FIFA 04 . Soundtracks were amazing. It had an intro video with Ronaldinho , Henry and Del piero ❤
Even the simple things like the old pack animation. To see the card you got flash in the background as the pack opened got you so hyped.
The golden age of UT was fifa 10-14. It was a wild west. Nobody knew what they were doing. EA threw content at the game to see what would stick.

Too many promos is spot on! Good video this.
More promos=more money
Sending love to Nick + all. Thanks for the vids man!
They make too much money from fifa points on crap promos now. Fifa 11,12 and 13 were the best because of the simplicity of ultimate team
I really enjoy the non fifa related videos, keep it up brother
Removing untradable packs and putting out less promos might improve the game slightly. We need a more casual game mode that isn't so sweaty.
All they have to do is change untradeable to unsellable 9:26

Loving the channel Nick! Would love to see you react/give your thoughts on the new UCL format for this season! Keep up the great content!
why are results so important though, rewards are crap. everyone needs to chill 😂
sleeping to barcelona winning against bilbao :))
waking up to nick 20 minutes video :))
Sitting all day unpacking 84*10 to unpack 85*10 to unpack 93+ and get something to play with and catch up with nerds who has 1 thing to do in life or mommy wallets…Soooo fun!
UT became 100% for teens actually. No respect for older people, who has job and family to care about and just want to buy game and have fun in UT, and not lose every game because they don’t have meta.
This is why I stopped buying FIFA, and download it from game pass in the end of the season. Play couple of month and quit for the rest 10.
This is what fifa did with people who played it for 25 years. Shame
IMO
Imagine EA Put Survey to ask what is the best fifa and they remaster it, brought it back
FIFA 12 was goated. Gameplay. Informs. Gameplay. Way too fire
This is so true. People wouldn’t mind using shit cards at the beginning but now .. most of the community feels that they need to have an 86 rated team day 1 which is wild.
PES on PSP!! if you know you know. PES 2008 started it all for me. that brazil team was so fun to use
The graphics and the shadows on that FIFA 11 clip looked like fifa 30 or something, graphics somehow look better then they do now
WHEN MONEY BECOMES THE ISSUE....THE VISION GETS DISTORTED
I haven’t played NHLs unltimate team in 2 years but I’m pretty sure you can still make trade offers on that ultimate team.
I absolutely love how he chooses to ignore the multitude of horribly broken mechanics in the old games
Fut is just an easy cash grap for ea..
1. Minimize the useless sbc’s
2. Delete untradeable players
3. Make playing the game actually rewarding again.
I was thinking of getting fc 25 after not playing since 18 but after watching this I am not sure now.
Same.
Gonna use the 10h trial to decide whether it's worth it.
Ea has been killing the franchise slowly but surely for years already. The fact that FUT players are only now realising how trash the franchise has become is mind boggling to me. But hey i guess thats what you get for throwing money and supporting the online gamble machine for so long
Saddest part is I don't play FUT anymore but I always got the urge to play a few career mode games. But there's no way I'm paying 80£ for it.
In fifas beforehand it was money loaded onto your PlayStation account for PlayStation and Microsoft points for Xbox players. I miss the days of loading a £20 Microsoft point card for my birthday and packing Toty kompany in fifa 12. Nowadays I pack a team of the tournament mbappe without the slightest smile. Ahhhh the gamblers spiral

I agree with you on there being way too many promos.
No time to enjoy the cards you get because in 4 weeks, there already exists 5 newer versions of the same players and yours have been nerfed to the ground.
Also doesn’t help that their promos mostly feature the same players.
Thats just dumb its boring if there is nothing for a month
At this point the only saving grace of Ultimate Team is playing in the summer where they give everyone loads of Super Packs like 85x10 SBCs, so anybody can get top players for free after enough time. Beyond that, the game mode has gotten more pay to win and toxic than ever.
FIFA 12 is the clear GOAT of this series. The game was so balanced with very few BS META plays.
Love these reaction videos PICK!
I agree with the most of his points… but I feel what really killed the game is UA-cam. So many people showing broken mechanics is why gameplay is so repetitive
Playing with Ibarbo, Doumbia...etc...got SO BORING after hundreds of games. If you weren't pay to win, you had virtually no way to upgrade your team. The way the power curve is always evolving is actually good for the game.
Obviously, EA are scumbags and the way they run the shit is abominable, but the game is more fun now than it was when we were kids. The nostalgia blinds us.
Also, I don't buy the "too many promos" sentiment. If there isn't a constant stream of new content, everyone complains and/or doesn't log on.
ye too many promos is wild statement, while i can say they increase power curve too much, but then if there is no promo for 2 weeks 90% of the community cries and says its boring af lmao.
@@materekpl6032because the gameplay fucking blows, so the only thing people want to do is collect cards 😂 when the gameplay was much better, no one cared there weren’t many promos ….because they were playing the game
I like how you didn't talk even one bit about the actual gameplay in your entire comment.
@yegfuf the gameplay was super basic and very same-ey. There were no objectives and a lack of game modes. You had online seasons and that was it. If you think the gameplay was godlike in the day, and that kept people playing all summer, you're sadly mistaken, lol. Is that how you think it was??? The guy that made the video wasn't even making that point, besides one line where he called the gameplay "arcadey."
And I literally said "PLAYING WITH IBARBO, DOUMBIA, ETC...GOT BORING."
JFC
@xUB34xR0UG3x "When the gameplay was much better" ahahahahahahahhahha
Dude, the game has always had its issues, people just bitch about it constantly these days because content creators have convinced them that it wasn't always that way. It was a casual game then. No UT Champs, less reason to rage over gameplay.
In FIFA 10, if you had a player like Lampard, you could score FROM INSIDE THE FUCKING CENTER CIRCLE
If Weekend League existed back then, the community would have been whining about it non-stop like they do now. Except no one would have heard them because social media wasn't what it is now. You have no idea what you're talking about. Thanks for the laugh, though.
I was not able to play for whole year, but today's state of game is catastrophic, i can't even finish my games, just ragequiting after first half.
Actually it’s ultimate team that ruined fifa as a game
No its not
Pes 06 on PSP was incredible for the time
Been playing since fifa 98 on the Sega megadrive 🤣 might have been the master system, my favourite fifa though was the first one with Bale at Real Madrid in the orange kits, I probably played more seasons that year than I have done ultimate team the past few years
Hear me out, end promos, and just release tons of evos, evo designs, totw and tots
Been playing seasons only... RIP ultimate team
The way EA implemented those skills like trivela+, anticipate+ etc...they should have given every player those skills but will rank low or higher depending on the player. If they were going for realism then every player should have those skills.
Another thing that should be in their skull is that its a game let the players decide how fast and how slow the game should be for them.
It died for me when they took out bronze and silver cup due to being money hungry
I’m a div 1 player but chose to stay in div 3 so when I do play which isn’t every day it won’t be a sweat fest and I can actually enjoy the game
