Ultimate Team is just trading cards on Fifa, people on YouTube practically exploding in their pants when they unpack a Ronaldo card Wiggo

Honestly hate this loot crate culture in games now. I tried to play Battlefield multiplayer the other day and it was fucking brutal, since everyone has the fancy guns and I’m stuck with the scrublord base weapons. Get thrown about like an empty tracksuit, if that tracksuit was asked to storm the German trenches on 1 July 1916. Snake

Fifa videos on YouTube are among the worst things in existence, tbf. Wee shrill weirdos getting big bucks from EA to scream about opening packs all day. Wiggo

I've never put any irl cash into FUT on principle.

e: lootboxes are the hot topic right now. I agree that they're such a malign influence on people, escpecially in that they're effectively introducing gambling to people who otherwise wouldn't encounter it in a meaningful way. It'd be interesting to see if we get any legislation on it in future, given the growing disquiet.

Anyone who puts actual cash into Ultimate Team is a wrong 'un.

Folk are going their ding dong about loot boxes just now, it is a bit of a farce tbf.

The likes of Battlefield you can still unlock weapons easily, it's just a terrible game with awful maps though.

You’ve got to grind the shit out of them to get them. Same with Battlefront, Rainbow 6 etc. Just the way games are now but it’s absolute BS. Used to quite like buying a game and having all of the content included in the fucking extortionate price Lampoon

I've not bought a single thing on rainbow 6 and I have unlocked most of the operators, as long as a game boils down to skill I'm happy.

I’ve not played it in ages, but you have to invest serious time to get any of the DLC operators to my memory. Think it’s around 80-90 matches for each one? (IIRC, you get about 300 rep for a match and they cost 25k). Some of the newer operators were really strong and if you’re playing competitively you would probably need them, so it’s not a million miles away from pay to win.

Any game in which a prohibitive grind is bypassed by paying cash money to gain a competitive advantage over other players counts as "pay to win". FUT is absolutely P2W, and it sounds like R6 is too.

It isn't pay to win because you can have whatever gadgets you like but you still need to be smart with them and you still need to kill people, some of the base operators are the strongest in the game. I think it's a really well balanced game tbh, you can buy cosmetic items if you wish to do so.

Aye but they've just done an update which essentially gives you a decent chance of getting good gear. It's improving all the time.

Finally got my team sorted. This is what 130k can buy you. Not exactly that great a team compared to others I've seen.

Gueye is like an affordable Kante on this Fifa.
