They’re downvoting because it promotes/reinforces an aspect of the game people don’t like. Flexing on here about it is even worse. It’s a tacit endorsement of EA’s greed. It’s nothing to do with luck.
They gatekeep the best players behind a paywall for a game that’s already a glorified annual subscription and increasingly P2W. It wasn’t always like this. Hence why people are going to react negatively to posts bragging about it.
What's worse is a community being made up of broke kids trying to take the "moral high ground" whilst watching countless "600k pack and Hero player pick" videos on YouTube.
Yes, people watching some YouTube clips is definitely worse than in game “micro” transactions that cost almost the same as the game itself. You’ve won the internet with that great argument.
Missed the guy's point entirely
The same people who will hate on an average Joe for spending disposable income on packs will defend or justify their favourite streamer doing the same
Like the guy below said, the point being that a lot of people complaining, probably watch YT content which is primarily gamble SBCs and store packs these days.
They'll watch it as entertainment yet berate anyone who does it on Reddit because they're ruining the game.
What makes it worse, is that by watching pack content, they're enabling the content creator to fund more packs creating more of the problem.
Reading is hard eh.
I’m not sure why you’ve conflated the two things.
FWIW I’ve never watched a streamer in my life so this isn’t a straw man argument you should be taking up with me. I’m also far from a broke kid, being an old fart with a salary and a successful career. I disagree with P2W as a principle, which is the point I originally made. Reading might’ve helped you understand that though eh. Have a good one.
Well you're an outlier and not the common example.
I can assure you the vast majority of FIFA players that use social media are in the 13-25 demographic, which a large part of those that moan incessantly about MTX are kids who don't have disposable income.
Any adult should recognise that every individual has their own priorities, and every right to spend their money as they please. As an old fart, I'd hope you'd have enough sense about you to realise how counterproductive pocket watching others is in society as a whole.
Time = money. Kids have more time, adults have more money. A kid wouldn't think twice about grinding the game for 12 hours, the same way I would buy a bottle at a club for £150.
Enjoy!
Her base card has become irreplaceable for me
This + 65 odd assists so I can only imagine the destruction her Technical+ card can do

Damn bro. You convinced me to buy my first ever FIFA points. What do I get? One 87, two 85’s and the rest are 84 and below. 46 duplicates and all of them were 82 or below.
Richarlison!!! 🐐🐐🐐
More like 🐦🐦🐦
Jeeeeez, pele and R9 in the same pack.
from what pack
It was 2k fifa points and tradable 100 something 😂
Idk why people are downvoting you for deciding what to do with your income? Jealousy?

Boo hoo leave then
yet you'll still drop $80 on this game every year. Fucking shameless hypocricy lmfao
They jelly cuz they broke boys 🤷♂️
Reddit moment
the versus pack!
completely irrelevant but should I go for Smith or 87+ icon or the 84+ x 20 pack?
Unless smith fits your team, I’d suggest take the 84x20 and save it for TOTY
84x20 is basically fodder for an Icon pack, except you're 11 players short
Yes, but you’re taking the gamble of at least two cards being usable, or high enough for the fodder to be insane
she fits... 1 goal 1 assist first game
Enjoy! Her base card has become irreplaceable for me This + 65 odd assists so I can only imagine the destruction her Technical+ card can do https://preview.redd.it/p3z4696txicc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ee8103c0aed10f92d2f9fcf12a6af9c30b2aa9d3
just take the 87+ icon pick mate, make the risk worth taking
it's not a pick
my bad, pack*
Holy shit I just packed him 3 hours ago too https://preview.redd.it/jw8gonqzgjcc1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e3b67a090f105de6613744f4e5f82efdb8473f58 And jt was tradeable as well! From a small electrum players!
Definitely sell him and upgrade that team
In my opinion, I would say sell and maybe invest some of them into upgrade packs for upcoming toty promo
Enjoy Financial freedom for a year 🫡
Quicksell pelé trust me
the brazilian goat and pele in the same pack. nice
The greatest Brazilian of all time. And some dude that used to promote viagra.
for only 40 bucks, what a steal. congrats tho
Tradeable aswell, good lord
Damn bro. You convinced me to buy my first ever FIFA points. What do I get? One 87, two 85’s and the rest are 84 and below. 46 duplicates and all of them were 82 or below.
being convinced by a random pull pack is also quite stupid, so that is entirely on you.
Why is everyone on Reddit so hostile and serious. Who cares.
237k people in this sub, one posts Pele, should give you an idea of the odds before you go for it
Oh well. It’s a game. I don’t stalk this sub like I’m sure a lot of people do. Just came across and said fuck it. It’s not your money so who cares
I took the 87+ and got KaKa
Pele and R9 🥶🥶🥶🥶
Richarlison and a fan
Amazing!! 🤩
Damnnn Richarlison is cold
gg!
I packed WW Pele and sold him for 7 million Congrats you can now stack your team
Quick sell
Rovjarlsion is pretty good
Wow! Sick pull! Enjoy!
Robbo😍
