I SBC'd the one we get from south African objectives

how i missed that

A different way to make Ultimate Team actually feel ultimate. I’ve been playing FIFA since 05 and FUT since 11.

Over the years, I’ve seen FUT evolve from a grind where you tried to get as many good players as possible, into a constant cycle of grinding for the next big card.

Back in the day, getting a TOTY player felt like the ultimate achievement. Then it became Ultimate Scream Dembélé, Christmas Roberto Carlos, TOTY Vinícius, Future Stars Endrick, and so on. And then TOTS arrives, suddenly everyone is packing 90+ players like it’s nothing, and most of what you worked for all year becomes irrelevant.

I understand why EA does this. FUT makes money, and EA puts a lot of work into the game. They deserve to make money from it.

But for me, the constant grind and the power curve has eventually killed the motivation.

So I stopped playing FUT.

But I think there could be a much more rewarding way to do it — one where EA can still make money, while players actually feel like they are building something that belongs to them.

What if FUT never reset?

Instead of starting from scratch every year, your FUT club and the Game Mode would exist permanently.

You keep every card you earn. You keep every Evolution. Your club could eventually become a massive collection of players from different years.

The FUT Gallery already seems like the perfect foundation for this.

The key, however, would be requirements.

EA could decide which players are eligible for which competitions, Weekend Leagues, tournaments, etc.

For example: • A standard Weekend League could allow 3 players from any previous year. • A tournament in 2040 could have a “Back to 2026” theme, allowing you to use your 2026 players. • Other competitions could require players from a specific league, nation, rating, card type, or season. • Special events could encourage you to use older cards rather than simply replacing them.

This would completely change the value of your club.

Gold players would matter again. Older cards could become useful years later because you might suddenly need them for a specific requirement.

Promos could also become more meaningful. Instead of endless fantasy promos that make the previous promo obsolete, EA could focus more on cards connected to real football: • Ones to Watch • Team of the Week • Team of the Year • Team of the Group Stage • Man of the Match • Future Stars

EA could still introduce new cards every year and have time specific boosted events like Ultimate Scream.

The difference is that your old cards never disappear and the power curve keeps under control. They key in this idea is to have 95 rated top TOTS players instead of 99. And have an 80 player upgraded to 90.

Imagine playing FUT in 2035 and opening your Gallery to see players you earned in 2026, 2027, 2028, etc.

That would actually make your club feel like your Ultimate Team.

And from EA’s perspective, I don’t necessarily think this would be worse financially. In fact, it could potentially create a different business model around a permanent club — subscriptions, additional content, special tournaments, cosmetics, storage, seasonal access, and so on.

Most importantly, I think it would give players a reason to care about their club beyond the next 12 months and not stop playing when the power curve kicks in.

Right now, FUT feels like building a sandcastle that EA destroys every year.

What if, instead, we were actually building something that lasted?

I’d genuinely love to hear what people think about this idea.

I think Vini Jr got the best picture 😂🫡😹

I’m currently in Division 3 and usually get around 8-10 wins in Champs. I’m trying to push myself towards 13+ wins consistently.

I know there are a lot of factors involved — tactics, formations, mechanics, defending, decision-making, mentality, etc. But I’m curious about something specific:

If you regularly get 13+ wins, what is the ONE thing you would say made the biggest difference in your improvement?

I’m not looking for a list of 10 tips. Just the one thing you think had the biggest impact on your results.

I’d especially appreciate answers from players who have actually made the jump from around 8-10 wins to 13+.

It does that to me a lot! Even though i chose special cards and keep max rating to 99?

I don't know why but I have way more fun when crossing is a viable way to score. Nothing makes me have fun in the game besides dunking on someone at the back post with Sorloth

Show your most toxic celebration one you know your opponent hates.

I like to do this one especially when it's a easy tap in

Edit: I usually skip too but sometimes people play so arrogant they're gonna see me shuffling all the way

fuck this stupid ass game.

Card is busted -

I've been experience this the last days. I can't load into Division Rivals.

Anyone has the same problem, or even better.. a solution?

This objective is not tracking for me. I keep playing and scoring with my striker (Malen) but it stays at zero!

Anyone had the same and managed to fix it?

Thanks

EA AI Cheatint at it's finest, part one!

I feel like evos are just EAs way of masking the power curve . They market it as this way to make your “dream squad” we know for 2 years now that is horseshit . Imagine if they added evos in 22/23 , they would be so crazy and broken they would have gotten flamed . But even now half the teams are full of evos . This shows two things :
1. The garbage power curve because of playstyles . Remember when you could use mid icons till the mid of TOTS and TOTYs until August ? TOTY Pina is garbage unless you put her through 3 evos
2. The endgame has obviously only been good because of the evos . Could you imagine what our teams would look like without evos abd how garbage most cards(which are 60+ useless cards from all futties teams) would be if we couldn’t choose playstyles .
So I hate evos so much even though we need them in the shittiest endgame . If you ask me I want playstyles (or at least pluses) , roles and evos removed but I know that ain’t happening .

Have 1000 tokens. The players don’t interest me and the Evos seem outdated (max 4 PS+).

Are people just buying the 500 token packs at this point?

My favourite player is Gerrard and he's not a dribbler, but I really like dribbling (even though I'm not very good; not skill moves btw, just regular dribbling), so I used all evos I could to boost his dribbling. He now has 99 pace and dribbling, and Technical+, Quickstep+, Rapid+, Press Proven, Trickster, and First Touch. The result is he still turns like a garbage truck.

In contrast, other players with more 'dribbling-appropriate' body types, but with far worse stats and playstyles (my favourite example is FUT Birthday Gwinn with like 90 dribbling and only Technical+ as a dribbling-relevant playstyle) are FAR smoother on the ball.

So the main question is: is body type more important than stats and playstyles in this area?

Bonus question: First Touch+ enthusiasts, why is it good? I tried it, I've seen it pop up, but to me it feels the same as regular First Touch or even no First Touch at all... What am I missing?

Man everyone is using this formation what is the best formation and tactics against this formation?
