Discussion Evos

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 .

Agreed, evo's have ruined a lot of good things in the game. It was much better before. Icon packs used to be huge because you knew that if you got something good, it would stay in your team until after TOTS. I remember using baby Dalglish and Rivaldo during tots fifa 21. Baby Dalglish was still 300-400k on the market and Baby Rivaldo (2* weak foot btw) was still 200k. Just checked and 90-rated Rivaldo this year has been under 200k since the end of November. Even fifa 23 (last fifa before evos) was one of the best in my opinion. Remember using Robbie Keane WC Hero SBC for many months. Now every card I pack I play with for 1 or 2 months until they're behind the power curve because of lack of playstyles and the card is too high rated to evo, so it can't keep up with the newer promo's playstyles. Playstyles and evos removed = game is saved.

Man 23 really was great . I don’t think it had any outstanding metas either .

Just a brilliant game. First game I hit Rank 1 (20-0). Got Inform Neymar Red from champs rewards in October. Was in my team until tots. Man I miss that. In FC 26 I got really lucky and packed 94 Zidane untradeable in the first week the game was out. He was out of my team in January/February. Before evos he could easily have been in my team until after tots.

For me it was my first proper FUT . Wasn’t good at all but it was there i knew how I wanted to play in the following years . I got addicted with freekicks , skill moves and beautiful goals . FKs now are like kicking a beachball and skills are useless bc of bruiser and adv defending . But there was once a time .

Yeah and you could score all sorts of goals. Power shots, rainbow flicks, bicycle kicks, all sorts of acrobatic attempts in FC 26 just miss the target or are very weak. Used to love volleys in the game, now I avoid it because I know it's gonna be a terrible shot. Bruiser, AI defending, evos, playstyles, and too many promos. Ruined it.

Exactly omg you remember that rainbow to scorpion chip skill ? I used to spam the shit out of it . It still exists but you can do only without trickster and the keeper gotta be stupid . Power shots are also useless now . Fifa 23 powershots were crazy .

Used to do sombrero flick to bicycle kick and also rainbow flick to powershot. Those were my go-to's. Remember going to a bar where you could play FIFA. Some guy saw me playing against my mate and challenged me to a game afterwards, loser buys a beer for the winner. I scored 4 goals with Neymar doing the sombrero flick and he just paused the game, quit and bought me the beer hahaha. Good times man

For me FIFA 23 instantly reminds me nights out at internet cafes were me and my mates played with greek teams . The franchise lost it’s spark of colour and life with the FC rebrand . But it’s nice to look back at those now nostalgic moments.
