Also, mailbox questions [01:12.820 --> 01:18.060] and we've got an announcement on Messygate. My name's Chris, I'll be your host today [01:18.060 --> 01:22.700] since John's got a throat infection. Envy is on a short break so it's my pleasure to [01:22.700 --> 01:28.460] welcome back the man with the legendary Polish power, my good friend Artjom. Hi Art. And [01:28.460 --> 01:35.620] don't worry, he's ill but he's here. It's the Darth Vader of DDA. John, how you doing [01:35.620 --> 01:42.100] my friend? I'm alright mate, it's just hard to talk at times so it's good. I don't [01:42.100 --> 01:46.500] have to talk through the whole show I think today. I'll try to keep myself a little [01:46.500 --> 01:50.260] bit more on the background but Bob's on pills, I'm actually drinking tea which [01:50.260 --> 01:54.420] definitely is a sign for me that I'm not feeling too well but I couldn't have a [01:54.420 --> 01:58.740] Friday show without Envy and myself so thank you for taking over the hosting [01:58.740 --> 02:02.100] role at least. No problem, I'll do my best, I will do my best but here is this quick [02:02.100 --> 02:07.820] message. FC is like the only pub in the village. It used to be a lovely place [02:07.820 --> 02:12.140] to visit but now the beer garden is full of dog poo and the kids area is [02:12.140 --> 02:16.940] covered in broken glass. The toilets are like those from Trainspotting. When you [02:16.940 --> 02:20.700] get served the beer is flat and the spirits are watered down. There is [02:20.700 --> 02:25.420] expensive stuff but it's 100 quid a glass. You put coins in the [02:25.420 --> 02:30.460] jukebox but instead of guns and roses you get I'm a Barbie girl. The atmosphere [02:30.460 --> 02:34.460] on the pub is toxic as the customers are cheesed off and always arguing but to [02:34.460 --> 02:38.620] be fair to the bar staff they work hard, try their best but are short staffed [02:38.620 --> 02:43.420] and keep getting the order wrong. The landlord is seen occasionally but he used [02:43.420 --> 02:48.540] to drive a Mercedes but now he drives a Rolls Royce. But why do we go? Well it's [02:48.540 --> 02:56.540] the only pub in the village so we have nowhere else to go. What a sweet summary [02:56.540 --> 03:01.940] of team of the year and the best they made this week. Definitely but just that [03:01.940 --> 03:05.020] was my thoughts on team of the year. What are your guys thoughts? We start with Artyom. [03:05.260 --> 03:10.380] What did you think of team of the year? All right I think this year because we had so [03:10.380 --> 03:16.940] much easier to accumulate so many packs like good packs 83 by 10, 84 by 5 they gave us [03:16.940 --> 03:23.900] before actually the promo started. So our expectations were much bigger than in [03:23.900 --> 03:30.140] previous years. Everyone was expecting to pack the blue. Well you know the [03:30.140 --> 03:34.460] history shows us it's very hard to pack the blue but because we had so many packs [03:34.460 --> 03:39.420] we were expecting that it's like we should have packed one at least with the [03:39.420 --> 03:44.220] percentage they gave us. What happened after like three four days and before [03:44.220 --> 03:49.500] everybody was like saving packs until the full team is released somehow they [03:49.500 --> 03:53.980] dropped the percentage of packing the team of the year which drove everybody [03:53.980 --> 04:01.180] crazy actually in the community. And well we have to look like from other side [04:01.660 --> 04:07.820] let's see how your team was before the team of the year promo started and how it [04:07.820 --> 04:12.940] ended because still you managed to do so many SBCs if you were grinding the packs [04:12.940 --> 04:19.340] before so I think it wasn't it's not great promo and it never was but I [04:19.340 --> 04:23.740] think it didn't end up as badly as like we are thinking right now. [04:25.900 --> 04:30.220] Interesting, interesting. John would you agree we are teammates not as bad as what we think it is? [04:31.820 --> 04:36.700] I think it is I think the first week honestly was pretty good got some killer SBCs [04:37.340 --> 04:42.060] drop rate seems all right when they had like three or every single line in two packs [04:42.860 --> 04:46.540] after the drop rates fell what we had talked about this Monday I think which is a [04:47.500 --> 04:53.740] we did two shows of course but the drop rate just went to hell so I got numbers on right [04:54.540 --> 04:58.460] like I said I'm not going to complain because I had that I already said I had different plans [04:58.540 --> 05:03.340] for the team of the year I got the players I wanted in the SBCs I got in but I did [05:04.300 --> 05:15.980] 546 Premier League upgrades the Premier League thingy upgrades I did the 125 team of the year [05:15.980 --> 05:22.860] crafting upgrades and I did every single 84 times 5, 85 whatever right [05:23.580 --> 05:32.460] um got my rivals rewards got my wicked league in 14 wins I got two fake blues and two bananas [05:32.460 --> 05:41.500] the boat for Bernardo Silva's so my club's very dry didn't see anything blue um but it's more like [05:41.500 --> 05:47.420] the second week not only were the not much like I didn't pack anything but also the messy thing [05:47.420 --> 05:51.980] still bugs me the communication around there well we'll talk about that later [05:52.860 --> 05:58.540] um SBCs sort of got dry we got Sawa we got best in the first week what did we get this week [05:59.660 --> 06:03.740] next day we got Modric and Dabinia Modric been overpriced [06:03.740 --> 06:05.900] Ben Sleeber Sleeber actually also [06:06.540 --> 06:10.380] Sleeber which I think it was that point it was that cheesed off I didn't actually [06:10.380 --> 06:15.260] go and look at that one so I don't know we could quickly talk about Sleeber but I think [06:15.260 --> 06:20.700] Sleeber card is just way too expensive as well is a million something like that [06:21.420 --> 06:25.180] yeah around that something like that but you have to admit that the [06:25.180 --> 06:32.300] for the prices are very high right now so it's also like no definitely I mean we asked everybody [06:32.300 --> 06:36.220] to to submit their teams and and they did to be fair a lot of people did that and I didn't [06:36.220 --> 06:40.620] realize he was on a break so I did kind of spring it on him but we I've got five teams here [06:40.620 --> 06:45.740] which I just pulled out randomly all guys for the discord the discord's really popping so and [06:45.740 --> 06:49.580] it is free to join now so everybody looks at our socials you'll find the links there [06:50.300 --> 06:55.740] if you actually want the kind of premier content then as usual look at patreon.com forward slash [06:55.740 --> 07:00.700] foot and review for that some really good levels there and some really good there but just to say [07:00.700 --> 07:06.460] so if I take Nuro for instance Nuro started by 90 rated squad squad any by 90 rated squad [07:07.180 --> 07:12.060] the cards really and his team were his best the SBC he did have Alison team of the year which [07:12.620 --> 07:17.900] decent card and the NABAS card which I think was an objective one and then we've got Adama [07:18.460 --> 07:26.140] you know Adama so saved he's our master saver in the discord started with an 89 rated squad [07:26.140 --> 07:29.660] had a 90 rated squad we'll put all these up on our social so you don't need to just listen to me [07:30.860 --> 07:34.140] did the best SBC which I think a lot of people did he'd managed to do Hulip was [07:35.660 --> 07:41.820] the fodder he got he did he had the check icon goalkeeper and then he packed Milly Bright [07:41.820 --> 07:47.980] right at the death layer I think as well so a decent one for him Waterman started with a [07:47.980 --> 07:53.100] 92 rated squad end with a 92 rated squad but I don't know how his man has only been 92 because [07:53.100 --> 07:58.780] he has Haaland team of the year Bormati team of the year Frimpong team of the year did the best [07:58.780 --> 08:06.220] SBC the Sawa SBC the ZZ SBC and also he got Zola which I think is a team of your icon so [08:06.220 --> 08:11.420] Waterman you are he is star of the show isn't he he is absolutely star of the show and I think [08:11.420 --> 08:15.340] when he I think if Mary serves right he bought Haaland and was worried about the price [08:16.380 --> 08:21.820] uh let me tell you he has struck mega lucky the other price that thing has soared massively [08:21.820 --> 08:28.060] uh Amachop he had a 90 rated squad end with a 90 rated squad as well got Vinnie Junior [08:28.060 --> 08:32.220] funderstruck in his team from the before the start so I don't know if that was a promo card [08:32.220 --> 08:38.940] Valverde team of the year nominee he did the hoolit and he did capita icons and his team [08:38.940 --> 08:46.220] and then Nath was an 89 rated squad end of a 91 rated squad and Nath started from beginning [08:46.220 --> 08:53.340] and he had the best SBC and he'd has smith team of the year which I know is another cheap card [08:53.340 --> 09:00.540] which is also um sworn in price in price so when I look at it when you talk about content [09:00.540 --> 09:04.700] you've got the best there he's in four to five teams I think we all agree that was a tremendous [09:04.700 --> 09:10.700] bit of content and then as well as how many squads of team of the years at least four out of the five [09:10.700 --> 09:15.580] so I think we've been fairly lucky in our discord I'm not saying it's discord luck but a lot has [09:15.580 --> 09:19.500] also got the messy one a lot more than the percentage that EA said you should have got [09:20.140 --> 09:27.820] so for me is team of year a success the answer is no even before the messy gate there's absolutely [09:27.820 --> 09:33.820] zero uh this is the worst promo in the whole of fifa you just need to look at x I've packed [09:33.820 --> 09:37.180] roger I'll be honest not front pack roger from a accurate I don't even know what the pack [09:37.180 --> 09:43.020] I think it's 83 times 10 but the actual I look at Adama and the amount of packs he had if he [09:43.020 --> 09:49.820] had opened those packs as the game had went on his team would be stronger and it's this [09:49.820 --> 09:56.380] chase for blue and you know just look at the prices I mean can you guys ever remember a team [09:56.380 --> 10:03.020] of year where the prices are so high Chris but let me ask you this have this promo ever been good [10:04.380 --> 10:09.500] well I'll be honest with you this only two years uh uh last year and this year I've actually [10:09.500 --> 10:15.740] managed to pack a team of the year but I do remember buying Georgina uh team of year card [10:15.740 --> 10:22.140] for under a million the Benzema card last year you could buy for 1.9 million but if I then look [10:22.140 --> 10:30.620] at Raynard she is almost 3 million when she started at 1.4 million on the 25th of January there [10:31.260 --> 10:40.220] so how can these cards be double in price is it the because for me we are just uh trying to to uh [10:41.180 --> 10:47.020] decide if it's good promo or not but as John even agreed that he hates the promo but the [10:47.020 --> 10:52.620] content and SBC were like good in the beginning you know what I mean yeah yeah but I cannot like [10:52.620 --> 10:59.500] cross the promo at like totally because they gave his Sava they gave his best they gave his Davis I [10:59.500 --> 11:08.220] know they were overpriced but they gave us good cards the pricing and drop rate of the packs of [11:08.220 --> 11:14.140] the what we could pack in like the blue cards it's terrible nobody's gonna deny it and I'm far [11:14.140 --> 11:21.100] from defending EA from on that spot but I have to admit they gave us good cards to to at least [11:21.100 --> 11:28.460] finish those SBCs I got a devil's advocate answer to that though we've said before team of the year [11:28.460 --> 11:33.260] happens is this could be the year where people save more than ever or have been saving more [11:33.260 --> 11:37.500] for it because the problem is before it often the stroke we're just meh let's be honest [11:38.380 --> 11:44.220] if you say if EAC is exactly how many packs are saved they'll definitely tune everything down once [11:44.220 --> 11:48.060] people start to open it we said it before it's not even a surprise it happened right [11:48.940 --> 11:54.300] um and we don't have to forget that many of those teams of the year players you just mentioned [11:54.300 --> 12:00.140] Chris are all untradable that's it's more like Wimpy says in jet it's the most untradable team [12:00.140 --> 12:07.340] untradable team of the year promo ever all store packs untradable all rewards untradable [12:07.340 --> 12:14.460] all upgrades untradable we hardly got any player picks we got 10 a day 80 plus I mean meh wait um [12:15.180 --> 12:21.660] what's the worst of fun in that so the chances are lower and then there's the fact that if [12:21.660 --> 12:24.940] you you even if you had coins you couldn't even buy them from the store [12:24.940 --> 12:31.660] version from dyke is currently 14.2 million right it's a defender it's the best defender in the game [12:31.660 --> 12:40.220] i'm not gonna deny that but 14.2 million from team of the year card i mean it's just ridiculous [12:40.860 --> 12:46.620] uh makes me a little bit worried about team of the season by the way but at least there you [12:46.620 --> 12:52.540] can probably get these cards from meekly as well so you have a full bag for six million that's [12:52.540 --> 13:00.380] crazy when we had you remember Conselo guys he was 700k and we were playing that card in attack [13:00.380 --> 13:06.620] like a spiker yeah i mean i think i think you just need to to look at the prices i think that [13:06.620 --> 13:11.260] just tells you all about where the drop rate has been with this promo i agree we are the content [13:11.260 --> 13:16.140] at the very start i thought we were on for an absolute winner yeah but i think what happened [13:16.140 --> 13:19.900] is when we and i always say the good twin was here the first week he went on hold the evil [13:19.900 --> 13:26.220] twin came back and they decided to give us modjic plus one and the bina i mean the double [13:26.220 --> 13:31.100] play styles could it be that could be that the reason why people are you know going all in [13:31.100 --> 13:36.140] because if you have um you know we have got roger in my team he's on table but if i even [13:36.140 --> 13:40.860] he wasn't on table would i sell that card no because there's nobody to replace him with it [13:40.860 --> 13:45.660] even tonight's promo which we'll get onto you look at the prices of these cards that are [13:45.660 --> 13:49.820] you know that i know they're just out but actually if you're paying these prices for [13:49.820 --> 13:54.620] these cards it's absolutely incredible uh that these prices are there i mean [13:56.220 --> 14:00.700] where do you see the promo going forward then i mean we've had them as a gate and we'll get on [14:00.700 --> 14:06.620] to that but do you see the hype for fc25 being the same for team of the year [14:07.020 --> 14:10.540] uh i yes [14:12.700 --> 14:20.300] the problem still is that these cards are like that one playstation 5 that's available in store once [14:20.300 --> 14:26.540] it releases right you want to get it even if you pay more you want to get online you want to hope for [14:26.540 --> 14:33.340] it you go to the raffles to hopefully get the chance to actually buy one that's this that's [14:33.340 --> 14:40.220] this promo these cards are so freaking good compared to what what's left that everyone just [14:40.220 --> 14:43.740] wants those bloons in the team because at this stage of the game they are big advantage so once [14:43.740 --> 14:49.660] team of the season it's it's sort of is equal play playing field right every team has their specific [14:49.660 --> 14:55.580] cards which are good and are packed more you have it in a guaranteed team of the season [14:56.940 --> 15:02.620] sbc usually let me know good for that one of course but that really that really helps like [15:02.620 --> 15:09.020] make this playing field and it doesn't help when you see content creators you spend a million [15:09.020 --> 15:12.860] fee for points and pack two cards and then you're like oh and i want to do this back [15:13.820 --> 15:22.460] um it's just a perfect marketing honestly and um somewhere i'm happy that people got to use [15:22.460 --> 15:29.020] got to have a messy at least somewhere i mean just on the message i walked through the [15:29.020 --> 15:32.940] read out the statement and then you guys can give me thoughts so this is actually officially from [15:32.940 --> 15:40.300] ea's website update on team of year 86 plus league sbc an sbc was released on the 30th of january at [15:40.300 --> 15:47.340] 10 a.m i think it's pacific uh with an 86 overall rated and triple reward from 13 leagues [15:47.340 --> 15:52.860] that featured at least one team of the year player item two of these leagues had only one [15:52.860 --> 15:58.780] item matching the 86 plus over threshold rest of the world and the mls the sbc was live for [15:58.860 --> 16:04.540] 24 minutes and prior to it's removal falling and prior to its removal falling the identification [16:04.540 --> 16:13.900] of a design issue in that time frame an estimated 0.7 percent of ultimate team players obtained a team [16:13.900 --> 16:18.540] of year messy item we understand that this has caused frustration within the ultimate team [16:18.540 --> 16:24.220] community and we apologize and appreciate your patience we have explored several scenarios for [16:24.220 --> 16:29.100] how to proceed in a way that's both fair and would preserve a long-term game health we can [16:29.100 --> 16:35.500] confirm the following players who completed this sbc while it was available will keep their rewards [16:36.140 --> 16:41.740] the sbc will not be returning as originally designed we know that this is not a perfect solution [16:41.740 --> 16:47.660] and we will continue examining our processes with the aim of minimizing such issues in the future [16:47.660 --> 16:54.620] the ea sports fc team uh can i get your thoughts on that statement please [16:54.620 --> 17:01.500] sure mate uh first of all it's not a perfect solution what solution there was not solution [17:01.500 --> 17:08.940] they didn't give us anything uh guys whoever logs in at 7 p.m every day are the guy are the [17:08.940 --> 17:15.100] players who play every weekend league basically they they grind the game every rivals games [17:15.100 --> 17:20.940] every objectives i know it was only for 24 minutes but those are the people that we see [17:20.940 --> 17:31.260] after that and face in weekend league games day after uh uh messi gate uh uh thing i played five [17:31.260 --> 17:38.140] games in a cup total cup it was uh five games it was the limit per day i faced four team of the [17:38.220 --> 17:45.100] year messies and there were non-loan cards i understand what they're saying you know what [17:45.100 --> 17:52.220] the statement that it was zero less than one percent it may be true but maybe they took that [17:52.220 --> 17:58.540] under the account every possible fifa player whoever made to ultimate team i myself have [17:58.540 --> 18:03.980] three accounts if they count in every account that whoever has you know and maybe they're not [18:04.060 --> 18:09.820] even using those accounts it's like one player can have 10 15 accounts he never he logged in maybe [18:09.820 --> 18:15.020] last time six seven years ago and they're still counting that so it's a kind of misleading answer [18:15.980 --> 18:21.900] was i expecting anything else no i wasn't even expecting the answer or post anything about it [18:21.900 --> 18:28.140] honestly you know so it's a much surprise that they post something about uh the case but there [18:28.140 --> 18:32.620] is no solution for me at all they didn't do anything they wrote a lot of statement a lot of [18:32.620 --> 18:37.900] nice words but it it means nothing for us actually we move on we just move on [18:40.380 --> 18:48.620] john i got no much to add to your art um i am surprised and a little bit happy that they at [18:48.620 --> 18:53.740] least apologize and they made a statement i definitely agree with the fact you can't take [18:53.740 --> 18:59.980] them away from the players i think that's fair right um if you if someone forgets to [19:00.620 --> 19:05.820] uh check out the cash register or the register makes a mistake it's not actually your fault [19:05.820 --> 19:12.780] right you don't have to give it back i think in this situation um the eight the seven zero point [19:12.780 --> 19:17.820] seven percent just stings a little bit like if they have eight million active players that's [19:17.820 --> 19:24.460] what five hundred thousand players someone something like that if they don't want to name [19:24.540 --> 19:29.020] five hundred thousand team of the year's messies i think that's fine but nobody can [19:29.660 --> 19:37.340] check this if i'm quite honest so i would just like i agree with archen this is probably just [19:37.340 --> 19:42.300] anyone that bought fc24 they just count as a player even if they don't even touch ultimate [19:42.300 --> 19:46.620] team even if they're the bolts the whatever it just counts from everything but why don't [19:46.620 --> 19:52.460] say okay we think approximately 50 000 people got got it and let people make up that's not [19:52.460 --> 19:56.220] enough that's a small margin you don't even have to name names well you don't have [19:56.220 --> 20:00.540] copy sold we don't have no active players we know active transfers but everyone [20:00.540 --> 20:05.660] every everyone's i lost a message this week saying look at the transfer market this game [20:05.660 --> 20:09.900] is dead we ponder i'm like yeah that's fine but all packs are incredible there's nothing on the [20:09.900 --> 20:14.780] transfer market anyways now so that doesn't say anything either so the number doesn't make sense [20:14.780 --> 20:20.220] for me they should should have just said uh we've analyzed the amount of players that actually [20:20.220 --> 20:25.500] got it and it's it's marginal so we think it's healthy for the game to keep it this way and i'm [20:25.500 --> 20:31.500] like you know what it's what it is i don't really agree on everything but [20:34.700 --> 20:40.940] it's definitely more players though because like art says play my qualifying yesterday i had my [20:40.940 --> 20:47.580] first 10 i don't know so that's good but i faced four out of 10 team dms his first owner and [20:47.580 --> 20:54.460] can't have that archenemy played at only those 0.07 percent of them right that's just the copy [20:55.020 --> 20:59.980] so i think it's a little bit more or it's a level we're playing in a region we're playing in i think [20:59.980 --> 21:07.020] there's a lot of us and um north america south america uh australia that definitely didn't get [21:07.020 --> 21:12.940] him because they're just fast asleep yeah chris i just want to add one thing i think [21:13.580 --> 21:21.100] the problem also is with the card that's a messy it's the first second third we can argue best [21:21.100 --> 21:27.740] attacker in the game if they gave us bright if they gave us gave us herbs we would just probably would [21:27.740 --> 21:33.980] be laughing and say that yeah you know made a mistake again but they gave people 10 million card [21:33.980 --> 21:39.500] that's like for me it's too big of the impact for the game for the future of games [21:39.500 --> 21:46.300] no you're right i mean i happen to listen to another podcast um today who are discussing it [21:46.300 --> 21:51.100] and basically kind of blew off a wee bit i'll be honest with you said that you know if it wasn't [21:51.100 --> 21:55.180] it wasn't a verge of undyke it wasn't harland was named bapay i'll be honest with you this [21:55.180 --> 22:00.060] is why we are the number one independent few fc podcast out there because we tell you how it is [22:00.620 --> 22:05.420] i'll be if this if you in the olden days you'd print a statement off if i printed this statement [22:05.420 --> 22:09.900] off i would not use it as toilet paper that's the truth that's how bad this statement is [22:10.620 --> 22:13.500] you know and then we've got a situation today where they're saying we've made a mistake we're [22:13.500 --> 22:18.620] going to make things better and now you can make a 99 originally you can make a 99 rated [22:18.620 --> 22:24.700] nathan teller you know i'm reading the mirror.co.uk which is a british newspaper an article by [22:24.700 --> 22:29.900] luis barne who you always tell people who writes a letter saying that a fc mistake is [22:29.900 --> 22:34.700] ultimate team player gifted 19 rated nathan teller before draw to the final release [22:35.980 --> 22:41.660] i mean come on here how bad does it need to get you know before you actually start looking after [22:41.660 --> 22:46.380] your customers because that's what we don't see that card as much as we seem as he does [22:46.380 --> 22:50.220] no because you can't get the card because the card's extinct you know that's the problem [22:50.220 --> 22:54.380] people are desperately searching them he's probably went into the silver daily upgrade [22:54.380 --> 23:01.100] uh spc that's been there you know you put a 99 rated card in there to say 0.7 not even [23:01.100 --> 23:07.180] active players they're very clever when they say that isn't it 0.7 ultimate team players not active [23:07.180 --> 23:10.780] team players that's what i first thought when i read it i thought that's what it was this is [23:10.780 --> 23:14.940] a shocker for ea the people are saying it's not as bad as the hero gate last year i'm telling [23:14.940 --> 23:19.260] you right now it's worse you know for those who are tradable so that would add a payground [23:19.260 --> 23:23.980] back but oh so what it did john is actually it messed up some people's coin balance for [23:23.980 --> 23:31.260] some time really no this is different you know me he said he's faced on 1 and 19 in champs [23:31.260 --> 23:35.900] and you faced some four out of 10 i would say that probably one in four people who did the [23:35.900 --> 23:40.540] spc have now got that messy card in there um they should have just left it up there [23:40.540 --> 23:44.780] that's the best idea just leave it up there and then the one and four would have got it [23:44.780 --> 23:50.780] you know um and then you know let's be honest and wimby's putting the chat as well you know 1.7 [23:50.780 --> 23:54.940] billion has been earned from live services from ea last quarter i mean what are some of the money [23:54.940 --> 24:00.700] that is surely you could invest that in some quality control i told you what i thought on the [24:00.700 --> 24:05.660] on the emergency pod that they should have give everybody a team of the year card and outfield [24:05.660 --> 24:09.900] one and let them do that but the way the prices are now they probably couldn't even do that [24:09.900 --> 24:14.460] nowadays you're even know even a team of the year men's nominee that might have been a decent [24:14.540 --> 24:18.140] you know at least something give us a little bit of sugar ea come on [24:20.620 --> 24:26.300] hey i'm just gonna take one finger and say okay thank you for the apology it's more than i expected [24:27.180 --> 24:32.780] we're not gonna forget but uh daniel said in chat we did get a bonus team of the year alone [24:34.540 --> 24:39.580] yeah actually 10 games so wow yeah and what did you what did you did everybody [24:39.580 --> 24:42.140] open them what did you get what did you get come on tell us what you got [24:44.540 --> 24:51.340] i don't even know if i open it okay yet but uh i don't know i honestly don't know i don't know [24:51.340 --> 24:57.340] i've got tea uh now that was decent i got erp and i got offered rodray and i got offered alison [24:57.340 --> 25:01.900] i have rodray in my team so i took alison so and i think he's quite a decent keeper but [25:01.900 --> 25:07.420] you know wow 10 it wouldn't be insane if they gave us 99 that at least it would be a decent [25:07.420 --> 25:11.820] you know you know a wee decent bit of sugar there but no ea haven't given us that [25:12.380 --> 25:17.740] uh there at all so just i mean do we want to bring messegate to close guys because i think [25:17.740 --> 25:24.140] ea's kind of done it for us haven't they i say close to messegate and we might have to do a [25:24.140 --> 25:34.700] different show or a different um topic but the what go aligns is is is the um ea lost quarter [25:35.500 --> 25:42.300] revenue and came out right uh i just want to put out one number that's 1.7 billion [25:43.420 --> 25:48.700] made in revenue in one quarter from the life services section [25:51.180 --> 25:59.580] it's not all fc24 but it's a lot of fc24 just want to put it out there and honestly i [25:59.740 --> 26:07.580] i want to give you one example we uh i play a lot of marvel snap right also your microtransactions [26:07.580 --> 26:13.580] in that stuff sure uh pay to win maybe not but it does help if you do put in some money it [26:13.580 --> 26:19.180] speeds things up they made a mistake there uh i didn't even know there was a mistake there i got a [26:19.180 --> 26:25.260] message hey you bought this in december uh that we didn't advertise what's in it actually in it [26:25.260 --> 26:31.580] so here's your money back they gave it back in credits of sort of fifa points uh and here's a [26:31.580 --> 26:35.980] little bit of compensation and they gave like half the card and value back to my account like [26:37.020 --> 26:43.500] i actually didn't even notice it so thanks didn't hear anything about it but it's a little it [26:43.500 --> 26:47.900] fell in i mean that's microtransactions like six euros and stuff right so it's not that much [26:48.540 --> 26:54.540] but i appreciate that much more than making 1.7 billion and a quarter and [26:54.540 --> 27:01.100] being so disrespectful to solve this there wouldn't be a problem like if they would we [27:01.100 --> 27:04.860] the message itself and then we're actually close this topic the message itself says we did a lot of [27:04.860 --> 27:09.340] thinking on how we can make up for this and the best solution is not to do anything [27:09.900 --> 27:16.220] basically that's a statement i would love to see the options they consider or once again [27:16.220 --> 27:20.540] our taxi community manager just sitting on camera saying hey this is what we thought [27:20.540 --> 27:24.780] this is what we feel we get you it sucks it wasn't our attention but this is the best way to [27:24.780 --> 27:30.620] keep the game healthy we apologize from the bottom of our heart but we gotta get we gotta put a line [27:30.620 --> 27:36.620] under it we gotta continue uh you gotta get it alone we're sorry we'll try to be better and then [27:36.620 --> 27:42.780] i would like we i would be like you know what that's better but it's also a little bit harder [27:42.780 --> 27:46.540] when it comes from general message maybe but i know i know what happened to the meeting the [27:46.620 --> 27:51.500] options were this john do nothing do nothing do nothing do nothing do nothing [27:52.780 --> 27:57.740] so that's what we all do a hundred percent let's do nothing and just keep those those [27:57.740 --> 28:01.900] people points coming in that's exactly what happened there at that meeting because the [28:01.900 --> 28:05.900] good twin was probably on his holiday still as soon as he comes back the better so we'll [28:05.900 --> 28:10.380] move on for that i think we've done it to death there if you did get messy congratulations to [28:10.380 --> 28:14.060] everybody out there if you didn't get messy hopefully you don't face them too much and [28:14.060 --> 28:18.460] remember doesn't necessarily mean they're a great player if they've got messy either you know i mean [28:18.460 --> 28:22.380] i'm sure art and john are fairly confident our team they come up against that they can [28:22.380 --> 28:26.860] they can beat them so and if you ever looking to get better at the game what better place to go [28:26.860 --> 28:30.940] than foot coaching check us out but at that point i think it's an ideal time for us to [28:30.940 --> 28:36.540] take a quick break you're listening to foot in review proudly brought to you by footcousin.com [28:36.540 --> 28:40.220] remember you can help support this show

have to watch any meters statistics and see how far we [29:07.740 --> 29:12.220] came so i quite enjoyed this one yeah no it was a great break for me as well so we're going to [29:12.220 --> 29:18.380] move on to content a post-team of the year content i'm sure it's absolutely going to be off the charts [29:18.380 --> 29:23.820] because we've had messy gay is going to come back while buying art take it away what we got [29:24.380 --> 29:31.260] well it's going to be hard and try to smile while saying it because i'm trying i'm trying [29:31.260 --> 29:36.460] it's going to be hard to adjust to any other promo after team of the year because the [29:36.620 --> 29:44.860] back one though wait for that uh you know what it's going to be because those cars are not going to [29:44.860 --> 29:52.060] be on the same level so you know it's just the time that we have to come down so many things [29:52.060 --> 29:57.340] happen during the team of the year and just wait for the like i don't know footies whatever [29:57.980 --> 30:02.860] future star promos or whatever is coming like that one of those biggest promos on the calendar [30:03.820 --> 30:07.180] so what we have today they drop the road to the finals [30:08.300 --> 30:14.700] and as i'm seeing the prices i know the people don't have any packs i mean they open everything [30:14.700 --> 30:22.940] they just drive their clubs to the like last gold card i did the same uh so i didn't expect [30:22.940 --> 30:29.500] the prices will be low because there are not so many cards in the market but those prices [30:29.580 --> 30:37.740] that we have today they're just crazy guys i mean uh for for rafael l which is i know it's a good card [30:37.740 --> 30:45.340] but close to six mil it was on uh i mean i don't understand those prices what surprised me actually [30:45.340 --> 30:52.060] today they gave us cards not all of them but some with the two playstyle pluses like cross [30:52.060 --> 30:59.420] that looks amazing and i i don't know what his price range is but he he yeah three almost three [30:59.420 --> 31:09.660] mil and he's extinct uh it's actually i i believe this is the best card uh whoever wants to watch [31:09.660 --> 31:15.580] and see those cards go ahead you you can check them on every uh sites that they're providing [31:15.580 --> 31:20.700] food bin food with or whatever but i want to speak about the sbc card they gave us today [31:20.780 --> 31:28.940] which is kimish and i know it comes with a price around 400k but we still have to keep in mind that [31:28.940 --> 31:35.820] the fodder is still on the top uh end of the prices so i think it will end up around 340 350 [31:35.820 --> 31:42.140] when it drops and doesn't look bad two playstyle pluses a lot of play styles maybe the uh the [31:42.140 --> 31:48.620] sprint speed is a little bit lower than we expected or we wanted to but he plays for [31:48.620 --> 31:55.900] brian remember those are all live cards and then cannot get upgraded so i like that sbc especially [31:55.900 --> 32:03.020] that we have kimin j honorable mention recently davis sbc uh there are so many people that are [32:03.020 --> 32:08.780] using kane as a striker because he's just you know he has great shooting so it's a great [32:08.780 --> 32:15.900] link for those cards and and i don't mind that sbc at all also we had the objective that [32:15.900 --> 32:25.580] guarantees you three cards uh i don't know or like for me it's mostly for the cards to be honest i [32:25.580 --> 32:31.180] don't want to like insult anyone who likes those players like boscagli whatever you know but i i'm [32:31.180 --> 32:39.100] not i'm not going to use them so uh it will take you around seven seven no i'm sorry as i calculated [32:39.100 --> 32:44.540] around 12 games to finish because of course they gave us requirements that you can we have to use [32:44.540 --> 32:52.300] six fresh players and six other players so you cannot like you know combine them so so yeah but [32:52.860 --> 32:58.380] the problem for me with the objective cards and for example with cards like david nerris's [32:59.020 --> 33:04.940] there's like so many people did evil with this card and right now they gave in a better card [33:05.500 --> 33:13.340] uh just my suggestion for whoever is trying to do evil like in the future just choose a card [33:13.340 --> 33:18.700] that's not going to get like you know promo card or whatever we we did it with a saliva we did and [33:18.700 --> 33:23.980] they they gave us sbc they basically doing everything we did what found their evolution [33:23.980 --> 33:30.300] with the dervin newness and they gave us newness card every time we were happy and hyped for [33:30.300 --> 33:35.660] during the evil even leon bailey right now he's here i mean i'm looking at those cards fatty [33:35.660 --> 33:42.540] unsung fatty he's also had great evolution card instead of gave us giving us next possible [33:42.540 --> 33:48.460] evolution for those cards they just giving us cards i don't know i don't like that but as i said [33:48.460 --> 33:54.460] wages this is the promo that we for us to come down to a little bit step out maybe step down [33:54.460 --> 34:00.140] from fifa relax after what happened with the team of the year and come back recharged and [34:00.140 --> 34:06.300] refreshed after one week two weeks i mean i just mentioned just how the upgrades work then [34:07.180 --> 34:11.660] there's different competitions there's the europe league and the europe league conference [34:11.740 --> 34:17.820] but i'll just stick to the one that's the champions league so win or draw the first game plus one [34:17.820 --> 34:23.420] upgrade qualify for the quarter finals another upgrade qualify for the semis another upgrade [34:23.420 --> 34:29.660] qualify for the finals not an upgrade but a plus a play style and win the final is a plus one [34:30.460 --> 34:37.100] upgrade five star week foot five star skill moves upgrade i mean so i would suggest if you look at [34:37.100 --> 34:41.180] those teams i mean i think liver pool i know it's a different competition but as you say the newness [34:41.180 --> 34:46.860] card the belly card asinville is in great form as well champion league's kind of harder to win [34:46.860 --> 34:51.820] but there's some decent upgrades in there i mean if if your man there was to win cruz i think he [34:51.820 --> 34:58.220] would go up to about a 94 95 there that could be an absolutely tremendous card you know i think [34:58.220 --> 35:02.700] he's already got two play styles so he'd have a three a third play style as well so that would [35:02.700 --> 35:06.860] be interesting that's maybe one reason why that card is is so high and who'd put it past [35:06.860 --> 35:11.100] Madrid at the moment to to win the champions league there's some top teams in there [35:11.100 --> 35:17.660] that's 43 mil yeah a lot of money a lot of coins i'll get that and what we'd also just say is on [35:17.660 --> 35:22.380] the objective card is if you go and look at objective card task number three the player [35:22.380 --> 35:28.860] that plays for copenhagen um that's what we all think of ea at the moment that's ea to be fair [35:28.860 --> 35:34.060] that's wimpy's joke you're making fun of a durch night now well we say it saying an english [35:34.140 --> 35:39.900] accent it sounds okay do you that's one for our listeners have a look at that one yeah i'm [35:39.900 --> 35:48.060] trying to save but i'd be a dick but i can't how'd you say in dutch john then same is it same as [35:49.180 --> 35:53.020] well actually saying a dutch accent it'll sound a lot better thank you mr advocate [35:53.020 --> 35:59.660] and you're on the line to where we're going with that okay mr dicks mr dicks anyway john do you [35:59.660 --> 36:03.980] have any thoughts on the on the promo tour are you like art you're just gonna chill out [36:03.980 --> 36:13.500] hopefully pack one of these guys i'm um i like i usually don't i'm not bothered by any of these [36:13.500 --> 36:19.420] champions league court live promos i'm not putting in any coins on that because i think it's way [36:19.420 --> 36:24.620] too risky i bought one this year which i was interested in which was the final player [36:24.620 --> 36:30.300] motswiefer and there's no final player in this one which maybe still comes somewhere [36:30.300 --> 36:36.300] then i might pick him up but honestly like art says my team is so far above the level of these [36:36.300 --> 36:41.740] cards and i didn't even pack a team of the year that it doesn't make any sense for me to actually [36:42.460 --> 36:47.580] go at it uh it's like archon said the game which is pretty decent card actually [36:48.540 --> 36:53.420] why he's not gonna replace gullet or something for me or the 95 cidane so i'm like [36:54.140 --> 37:01.180] no reason i'm honestly unless team the new promos pick up i might do one of those weird [37:01.180 --> 37:05.020] statements where i'm like you know what i'll just save until primary league team of the season [37:05.020 --> 37:09.260] myself from now on because i don't see any upgrades for my team coming up [37:09.260 --> 37:15.740] and the only ones i did were in team of the year so i will see although the two play styles do [37:15.740 --> 37:22.220] help but it's definitely not worth coins man and definitely not worth gambling also i've opened [37:22.220 --> 37:27.580] so many packs granted so many hours on the app this week i'm definitely not gonna aim for to get [37:27.580 --> 37:35.740] one of these players and uh it's it's all right i'll i hope they boost the cards a little bit [37:35.740 --> 37:41.100] more in the coming weeks uh two play styles might actually be already something they've added now [37:41.100 --> 37:47.660] but um it's the upgrades are also slow for the rest before they get really serious that makes me [37:47.660 --> 37:51.100] i mean because if you consider the champions league game is going to be the last game most [37:51.100 --> 37:56.780] people season it's the end of may dune time so you talk is that corrects me there you know the [37:56.780 --> 38:01.820] cruise card you're waiting till that time you know you're already in probably no far off [38:01.820 --> 38:05.900] footies and things like that i mean i know i've got foot birthday coming up and and things like [38:05.900 --> 38:13.340] that but uh you know i just i just looking at it i mean are you a bit saddened the way that you [38:13.340 --> 38:17.660] have put the ratings on these cards did you expect more or the fact that they're live cards [38:17.660 --> 38:24.780] is that why they're so low i think it's fine it's just it's just on point honestly it's the problem [38:24.780 --> 38:28.940] that it came last team of the year so you try you it's hard not to compare them with these cards [38:28.940 --> 38:34.940] right uh but the cards on their own are pretty good i just think like if we look at the sbc's [38:34.940 --> 38:42.700] that we had like sawa probably better than any of these cards currently just yeah so [38:43.340 --> 38:49.900] why would you go for it because they are able to get upgrade so crows is actually a playable [38:49.900 --> 38:56.140] tonic rose card definitely will you get a thing of the season though probably will team of the season [38:56.140 --> 39:00.540] be around the same time james league final is going to be played if they make it that far [39:00.540 --> 39:06.380] probably i'm not sticking around in that card until unless i might pack but like i said i think [39:06.540 --> 39:12.540] like i said i think there's not much to play for currently so i'm probably just uh my plans [39:12.540 --> 39:20.940] would be i'll just try to hold on my for my packs for the time being i mean are your plans in for [39:20.940 --> 39:24.860] fertility i know you mentioned are you going to look at some new formations with these players you [39:24.860 --> 39:31.020] think i'm actually i'm actually already criss working as soon as i release any tactic video [39:31.020 --> 39:37.500] i'm just even though i like some formation and i would like keep playing i'm switching the [39:37.500 --> 39:43.900] formation and trying to find new tactics so so right after i upload something i drop it one [39:43.900 --> 39:49.820] and just starting a new adventure with the new formation and tactic and instructions so i'm [39:49.820 --> 39:55.580] always working like you know i don't treat we can leak just to get wins i'm treating you [39:55.580 --> 40:03.020] as a test for like whatever i'm trying to create so yeah that that's that's my like [40:04.220 --> 40:11.500] point for playing this game so i'm enjoying that that way of of uh this is like the way that i [40:11.500 --> 40:16.860] enjoyed this game uh so yeah i'm working all the time with the new formation new tactics i have a [40:16.860 --> 40:21.500] lot of friends that are helping me out and shout to the armor who is like always testing for me [40:21.500 --> 40:27.260] the game uh the tactics and uh that's that that's that's the reason i play [40:28.620 --> 40:35.340] and i will continue probably playing definitely i mean uh you've been called artyom the professor [40:35.340 --> 40:41.580] there and just to give people an idea artyom doesn't just do very quick uh shots of these [40:41.580 --> 40:46.540] these these things are stress tested completely to ensure that you get the best possible [40:46.540 --> 40:51.100] information and these videos are very informative you have to watch them all the way through [40:51.100 --> 40:55.260] because it gives you amazing knowledge and it will make you a better player and if you are [40:56.140 --> 40:59.580] that way inclined as well you want to get better at the game what better way than have either of [40:59.580 --> 41:04.380] these two coaches coach you you know check out foot coaching and they guys will make you better [41:04.380 --> 41:08.860] especially with a team of season foot birthday etc just around the corner if you've had a poor [41:08.860 --> 41:13.500] team of the year and you want to get a wee bit better check these guys out hit them up and see [41:13.500 --> 41:19.020] how you get on oh it's on

rectification on now though [42:11.740 --> 42:17.900] i mean you true for us i think no but also who won the tournament [42:19.660 --> 42:25.340] oh yeah that's true so i mean a loss in the pool nobody nobody like somebody [42:25.340 --> 42:29.100] winning their own tournament john let's be honest well i tried my best not to win it [42:30.300 --> 42:34.940] let's be honest you're on your phone to your pals at ea the king of dd area [42:34.940 --> 42:40.540] just to say give my players a boost the switch was turned up you know that's where it was but [42:40.540 --> 42:44.860] anybody's

in the show notes [43:15.180 --> 43:19.020] there's a description you can just click the link you're in just install the app and you're true [43:20.140 --> 43:24.060] but there's a separate section for it where you can just put a for the next episode i want to [43:24.060 --> 43:27.500] put it here in three weeks i want to ask this question you just make sure it's there [43:28.060 --> 43:33.500] um adam asked does ea want to change their content plans and beef up defenders to try and [43:33.500 --> 43:42.220] mitigate the messian messy debate on the slide well i can answer that no um i don't want to make [43:42.220 --> 43:47.660] it too much of a story and he asks where do teams go after team of the year it feels like with the [43:47.660 --> 43:52.780] sbc's and totis we've had nothing will be superseding them from months and team of the [43:52.780 --> 43:58.300] year's prices seem far too high for omens everyone to justify paying for them feels like the game is [43:58.300 --> 44:05.020] going to be in a rough state for the next months especially after the messy debate archer what do [44:05.020 --> 44:12.700] you think man i think it was it it's always some time after team of the year that we are kind of [44:12.700 --> 44:19.420] tired of grinding and uh it's always in a low point of of the year of the calendar year of [44:19.420 --> 44:25.500] for fifa play or efc this time right oh in general right yeah it's february it's it's dark [44:25.500 --> 44:34.140] is you just everyone needs the sun by now i think we month i'm not sure about the fea calendar but [44:34.140 --> 44:39.820] i'm always waiting after team of the year for food birthday that's my next promo that i'm hyped [44:39.820 --> 44:47.180] for honestly so that first birthday this year yeah sorry yeah you're right we'll see what they [44:47.260 --> 44:52.140] will come up with this year but uh that's that's what i'm waiting for right because uh [44:54.140 --> 44:58.780] it's hard it's gonna be hard it's it's difficult time for every hardcore player actually [45:00.620 --> 45:05.660] yeah yeah and then like the big difference is if you're a hardcore player last year this is [45:05.660 --> 45:11.820] where the tournaments got pretty rough and had something to play for there's nothing left yeah [45:11.820 --> 45:19.900] the official season start with the clubs now but that's so skinned that that not too much right [45:19.900 --> 45:24.940] and if you didn't make it through the playoffs well we saw of course with the a live protein [45:25.500 --> 45:30.380] your season is also over uh so it feels like an early [45:32.620 --> 45:38.700] force break that makes sense um and hopefully there will be more coming soon the only thing [45:38.700 --> 45:45.020] i can see happening is that putting more icons out very soon a new version of icons for example [45:45.820 --> 45:50.540] with two play styles and those are the spcs and the teams around it are just forward to push [45:50.540 --> 45:57.180] into that i i guess um because even if i look at the extended cards today i won't be too worried [45:57.180 --> 46:03.100] if i face any of them like if i see a crows in and we could lick i wouldn't be like oh no [46:03.100 --> 46:08.620] it's gonna be tough right well that's trying to sound arrogant but it's not a card that scares me [46:09.660 --> 46:14.380] i've been much scarier but facing anything on the emissi but hey apparently no one here has [46:17.180 --> 46:24.460] now um so that was the question sent in there's a lot of responses chris on our emergency show [46:27.980 --> 46:33.660] well i won't even go into i had to flag most of the or most i had to flag a lot of the comments [46:34.300 --> 46:39.100] because you said take the messy away from people well if they pack messy they didn't quite like you [46:39.100 --> 46:46.220] let me put like this um i i did breathe them you were located in germany so just to make sure you're [46:46.220 --> 46:52.460] you're safe i'll be safe two cats they'll protect me don't mention when creed is for them though [46:54.060 --> 46:58.700] well take my messy with me you can come me on definitely i just remembered the last time we did [46:58.700 --> 47:05.740] a podcast with three of us we were actually on site in creed yes exactly and although the internet [47:05.740 --> 47:11.340] is a lot worse with the two most unstable internet points in the world being be due to at home [47:11.900 --> 47:17.020] um it's actually better than the thing we did it locally because you forgot your microphone remember [47:17.580 --> 47:23.660] chris well to be fair the instructions weren't very great let's be honest i have it there with [47:23.660 --> 47:29.820] me this time and it'll be a better show and but actually the best place to hear the show [47:30.380 --> 47:35.660] is in creed so get booked up guys come on come join the discord join the patreon come join the [47:35.660 --> 47:40.380] discord come on you have a wonderful time absolutely brilliant i mean arthur we have no [47:40.380 --> 47:45.820] spoke to you what was your thoughts about creed i loved it i actually went back uh same summer [47:45.820 --> 47:52.300] with took whole family with me uh that actually is not the best part of it but i went back [47:53.660 --> 48:00.940] actually not the best so so i enjoyed a lot the the time over there at this time we decided to [48:00.940 --> 48:06.700] just to rent a big bus and just drive through like all places in creed just to to see a little bit [48:06.700 --> 48:15.260] more but yeah i i'm coming this year so yes that's an answer for me yeah i got a surprise though [48:15.260 --> 48:23.740] for creed i'm actually starting to learn uh greek i've been at it for 22 days now [48:24.540 --> 48:31.740] so once we hit the show live i might be able to do a little bit in greek this year this year yeah [48:31.740 --> 48:38.540] hopefully and now i said i can already see the commas rolling and learn english first but okay [48:38.540 --> 48:44.060] i'll try thanks though i know i do have one thing though i guess i'm making uh arches [48:44.060 --> 48:49.420] working hard on tactics and so was i i've been working so hard on it i lost my voice during it [48:50.220 --> 48:55.500] archer i want to ask you though what do you think currently is just by far the best formation just [48:55.500 --> 49:00.140] the most meta formation you can think of i mean you you cannot go wrong with the four three two one [49:00.140 --> 49:08.460] i there is i mean it's not like people using that because it's so fun to play it's incredible [49:08.460 --> 49:15.340] attacking ai whatever now this is the most i'm not i'm not going to use word broken [49:15.340 --> 49:23.740] but kind of it is broken formation it is allows you to take advantage is 3v2 3v1 on a site [49:24.700 --> 49:32.620] because if you or your opponent is using anything higher than 71 death or 70 death [49:33.260 --> 49:40.780] they're forcing the over the bow side a little bit so the other side of the pitch is always open [49:40.780 --> 49:48.380] for crossing cutting inside finding the striker and you're scoring goal the only question here is [49:49.420 --> 49:57.420] how much robotic you can be in this game how much you can repetitive like every game do the same [49:57.420 --> 50:02.860] stuff and to be honest i i mentioned that in a previous show i watched streamers [50:04.460 --> 50:09.260] i'm just amazed four months in a row they're using the one formation [50:10.540 --> 50:16.620] it's it just beyond me i'm using like every formation possible that they gave us in the game [50:16.620 --> 50:21.820] trying to create something i know they are not meta i know they you will lose more games because [50:22.380 --> 50:29.900] not using them but you have to answer yourself is it worth to go every week try to get the 20 and 0 [50:31.260 --> 50:38.700] and sacrifice your joy for the game if it's you who is like only taking care of the wins [50:38.700 --> 50:44.460] no problem do 4321 and believe me no matter what channel on youtube you will [50:45.020 --> 50:53.660] uh open they're all the same difference between 40 width and 45 width believe me guys there is no [50:53.660 --> 51:00.140] difference i saw this week that said this you have to be 43 that's what i'm saying you know it's just [51:00.140 --> 51:06.460] so crazy i mean there is no difference believe me it doesn't matter if your left cf is coming back [51:06.460 --> 51:11.180] or right cf is coming back it doesn't matter if your right fullback is joint attack and balance [51:11.180 --> 51:16.700] and the left back is staying back no they're all the same guys it just the plan that the team [51:16.700 --> 51:23.500] that you have to work with and if you enjoy just the face the thing of winning the game [51:23.500 --> 51:29.820] use the 4321 you don't have to worry about anything else learn that formation from bottom to top and [51:29.820 --> 51:35.740] you will do fine but i cannot i have to change formation i have to change tactics i have to [51:35.740 --> 51:44.700] use different style of attacking building i'm defending whatever yeah spot on like 4321 is the [51:44.700 --> 51:51.100] best but i'm the same i can play it for a weekend for example i did play this weekend honestly right [51:51.100 --> 51:55.500] i said i need to i got three hours i need to play a wicked league let's see if i can do it right [51:56.380 --> 52:02.220] i got 14 wins in three hours which was like would not see that happen with any other formation [52:02.780 --> 52:08.300] could i maybe perform better yes but only three hours trying to force it and the 4321s [52:08.300 --> 52:16.780] just forces goals and honestly this weekend he scored a goal people quit so i was like okay [52:16.780 --> 52:25.500] pretty pretty smooth sailing so far um i am i am thinking about a tree at the back [52:25.500 --> 52:30.700] just to spice it up but the issue is you can't really grind your way up because [52:31.500 --> 52:37.180] the difference is it's still less perfect than the 4321 so it's always hard to see how good [52:37.180 --> 52:43.020] the formation actually is if that makes sense so i am definitely on archems board now like [52:43.020 --> 52:48.940] trying to make fun formations for people to have fun with um because if the content isn't fun [52:48.940 --> 52:52.940] and you didn't pack the players or you don't have anything left to grind for until the season [52:52.940 --> 52:59.740] hits or any big promo hits like futis is it called utis this year i don't even know what [52:59.740 --> 53:06.300] could actually be fcs we have to if they change that we actually have to change the show name [53:06.300 --> 53:11.820] or the intro but that's a different story oh my we need to actually might have to change the [53:11.820 --> 53:18.140] ultra song but that's never mind that now i'm panicking um but until then just make sure you [53:18.140 --> 53:23.580] play information that you're just enjoying and i think the rest is pretty balanced archer right [53:23.580 --> 53:28.380] doesn't matter if you're four four two or whatever it's all playable and you get the same [53:28.380 --> 53:34.700] things out of it right they're all playable i mean guys last year actually the fortress tree still [53:34.700 --> 53:43.420] isn't which one every one yeah but you remember last year but it's not it's no it never seen anyone [53:43.980 --> 53:48.220] performing with a fortress tree let's put like this yeah but you remember last year john and [53:48.220 --> 53:56.460] even this year uh we made a video that you actually uh made a title for it dtr formation [53:56.460 --> 54:02.380] that we got the 20 and 0 and i got it with a four five one four five one every content creator [54:03.340 --> 54:08.140] rate that formation as a dtr formation the worst formation ever true and you know what [54:08.860 --> 54:17.260] just to find the right uh instructions whatever for players to get exact players that you need [54:17.260 --> 54:23.980] that formation to work you can get it with every formation 20 and 0 but the problem is [54:23.980 --> 54:31.260] that we get used to to play one style we take the instruction the tactics we just post [54:31.260 --> 54:37.980] like past and copy and pass to our game and we expect to play the same way we did four three [54:37.980 --> 54:45.260] two one that's not going to work we just need some time to adapt adjust to new information [54:45.260 --> 54:50.140] to new instructions learn that formation and as soon as you learn a little bit just a little [54:50.300 --> 54:56.620] bit you will start enjoying it that's that's my opinion about it definitely definitely [54:56.620 --> 55:03.500] i agree also go up play more go up go up so much fun though this game should be if this game was [55:03.500 --> 55:08.460] like rocket league you play two versus two or three versus three something like that like you can [55:08.460 --> 55:12.460] play solo but you're always in a team for example stuff like that you had separate modes that were [55:12.460 --> 55:17.260] just based on this purely it's so much fun we're definitely going to make sure we do [55:17.820 --> 55:22.380] those two versus two tournaments soon because archer even though you we won't win everything [55:22.380 --> 55:29.260] but we win job spending time with a friend you're spending time with a friend instead of [55:29.260 --> 55:35.740] grinding the game yourself you're not upset if something goes wrong because but we are we [55:35.740 --> 55:42.460] just make a fun of it or whatever you joke about it it's different experience it's true experience [55:42.460 --> 55:49.100] it's kind of playing pro clubs as i used to do where we were meeting like 11 players and playing [55:49.100 --> 55:55.260] another 11 players it's different and my controller was never broken when i play co-op [55:55.260 --> 55:59.100] wise words guys i mean if you as i say i've said this many times the show if you want to see these [55:59.100 --> 56:03.500] guys we'll put
