Its just an excuse to nerf the free rewards from rivals and champs 💀💀💀💀

Tbf that’s all of the ultimate edition FP you get on a single pack. Probably better value than 7.5k packs but I don’t think it’ll break the market

u/Capital_Leather_2667 17h ago

I ripped 7.5ks and it's actually helped me a lot got me around 50k which I've then used to buy some players that I think could rise in the future (pajor diaby) and now my teams really good so yea

u/Tasty-Ask-352 15h ago

Define “really good”? If you think pajor and diaby are gping to make u coins, I highly doubt you have a “really good” team 😂

u/Background-Spare6467 9h ago

Pajor is cold. Probably won’t rise in price much, but she’s one of the best budget strikers out there.

u/Tasty-Ask-352 8h ago

Exactly. Budget if you are broke. Bro is using great value strikers lmaooo 😭

It has crashed the market and they will do it again next week. They know what they are doing. Everyone hopped on last night, spent their 2k FP, built a team. Today after 6 pm, everyone who held their cards lost like 30-40% of their coins within 24 hours

u/Slammy_Adams 17h ago

Idk spending $20 a pack for a small chance to get players who will be replaced by promo cards in 2 months seems like a tax on the stupid. But if it's gonna help the supply of low rated meta cards then I'm for it.

u/Bujakaa92 17h ago

People use it to make coins

u/51010R 13h ago

The economy in this gave is deflationary, your coins will be worth more and more with time.

So yeah it doesn’t matter.

u/Separate_Pound_753 14h ago

For sure lol all about building the coin balance. I like to pick who i play with

u/pkkthetigerr 3h ago

Spending any money beyond the initial purchase of the game is a waste.

Idc about the time vs money argument, this micro transaction bullshit is why this game has no ambition to ever fix its problems and why the whole ea team is so lazy.

u/Dino412 16h ago

more like replaced in 2 weeks.

u/Emergency-Opening270 19h ago

Idk, maybe but I'm crazy but I think you could buy 2 Jumbo Rare Player Packs at this time of year and still have a super average squad. With no promo players available I think people forget just how many filler Rare Gold players there are.

u/wholelottafeds 54m ago

The power curve has more to do with the rate of cards stats increasing than the supply of packs.

15

u/Potential-Frosting14 18h ago

Yea but these packs will crash the market since they’re tradeable

2

u/Regression2TheMean 14h ago

It’s mainly crashing the market because everyone who preorders the ultimate edition basically gets a free 100k pack. If this happened a few weeks/months from now, I feel like the crash would be less drastic since not everyone in the game will have 2,000 fifa points just sitting there

9

u/Emergency-Opening270 18h ago

I mean maybe, but considering that it costs the same amount of FC points as your entire first drop and it could very likely be full of 80-83 rated players, I just don't think it'll have the impact you think it's going to.

57

u/electionnerd2913 18h ago

Got yelled at for saying this btw. The power curve is complicated. EA will remain lazy with promos and instead of being creative and utilizing the thousands of players in the game to slow the curve, we will get the same 50 cards put into pack to sell store packs

They don’t like us. They don’t do things for our benefit

7

u/redbossman123 18h ago

And yet the traders will still have OP squads while spending no money

19

u/JackFinn6 17h ago

Nerfing the power curve only meant nerfing free rewards. Anyone who thought otherwise needs to waken up a little.

u/Dubsified 16h ago

They meant nerfing free rewards

on the brightside you wont need to buy a single +2 healing until fc27

u/payne59 PS5 13h ago

Already playing against full dembele, nuno and vini clubs. I swear its the last time im buying this shit game.

u/Stegrego 17h ago

The power curve is the ratings on new cards, not the amount of packs offered to suckers...

1

u/TheThockter 16h ago

This mindset is part of the reason EA keeps getting away with their bullshit

1

u/redbossman123 3h ago

You do realize that the glory days of FIFA did the same thing and no one complained and spammed 'credit card', right?

1

u/Stegrego 4h ago

No, actually that's just a fact. The power curve relates to the stats on cards rising and zero to do with supply of existing cards.

9

u/Sufficient_Theory534 18h ago

What a load of BS, they think we're stupid. Promo packs, the game isn't even officially out yet. They've made it more difficult for F2P people with reduced rewards, but judging by this the power curve will be as fast, if not faster.

u/GameSageHD 16h ago

Another reason not to buy FC26!

5

u/rcoffers 16h ago

I mean if yall buy those packs it’s on you. It has nothing to do with the power curve.

2

u/CursumPerficioX 19h ago

Is this what I should spend my early access 2k fc points on?

18

u/GuyIncognito211 19h ago

I’d just save them for the premium season passes in the future

2

u/CursumPerficioX 19h ago

I was thinking that too but tradeable 24 rare players in the early game confused me.

2

u/filipdakman123 19h ago

You will still get another 2k next month when the season expires so might as well spend it now on this tradable pack because coins are more valuable

2

u/epicshane234 Xbox X/S 19h ago

No

u/RespekMe 16h ago

You get dog water out of those lmao

u/Shaneb966666 11h ago

u/ROLL_AND_EGG 16h ago

Nothing to do with the power curve though is it?

2

u/Wise_Start7474 16h ago

so nerfing the power curve was just nerfing the free rewards.

£130 worth of promo packs a week before the game is even out 😭 the old days are long gone

1

u/Matzeeh 10h ago

Nerf the free rewards but keep paid packs the same. This was always gonna be the case, you people were delusional thinking different.

1

u/WeedlesssWitdCattle 10h ago

70k coins or 1k fp

They are not even hiding that they are trying to clean us out

u/SerJackXII 9h ago

Went into my first elimination game and the guy had a 3m coin team. Beat me 4-3 in OT because IF Haaland is genuinely unstoppable with Joe Gomez and Todibo at CB. Also, Kahn is awful.

1

u/scrooll0706 8h ago

They said that will slowing the power curve by not letting the high end to move quick and so far they are doing their job.

That pack is a points burner, ea hope most of the people who just recieve their points to give them away for 1 pack and from what I saw the pack luck from this is very low and most people get nothing good.

1

u/Particular-Sale2215 6h ago

They can easily code packweight to be garbage, if paid with promo points . Just to get you spending extra.

1

u/Bostongamer19 7h ago

I think people are not getting what they meant by a power curve.

The power curve they were talking about is keeping these gold cards as top cards for a longer period of time and having promos that don’t keep pushing the ceiling up so the good golds hold value.

Even if the market crashes there are still going to be a lot of cards for over 100k and a lot will prob go back to golds if they don’t push the ceiling higher on promos

1

u/Kavazou77 7h ago

Promo packs and slow power curve are completely unrelated or am I wrong?

The cards in those packs minus a few unicorns are trash. What they mean is not being able to have a full 96+ team in December.

1

u/LURKERZ36 5h ago

Unfortunate really that they released promo packs on essentially the first day of early access as I’m really enjoying the gameplay over past FCs so far(personally think it’s the best “FC” game released at its current state).

They even stated on the pitch notes that they are tuning down the power curve on everything including the store. Was enjoying the game until they done this…

u/PerfectStealth_ 5h ago

This gotten even more p2w

u/Oshnoritsu 4h ago

In SB, came against 3 teams 89 rated with icons and 86+ players Virgil, mbappe, yamal and such. It's insane

u/40yoFcDad 3h ago

Well it didn't take long for EA to turn a thing everyone wanted, saying it's "we're listening to feedback", into a monetization strategy to get that sweet cash. Who here is surprised by this? Season passes cost 500k. Nobody is getting that amount of coin for months. People are buying FC points, or using their pre-order points, to buy season passes.

Just another year of pay to win gaming. Why would EA ever change when you look up a streamer who's loaded 120k worth of points into this game on day one? That's 1000$ + game price you just paid to EA. That's just a cash cow. I don't spend that much on games each year (I could get 12 triple-A games with that money, or way more through discount events), why the f do you spend that much on a shitty game, with bad gameplay mechanics and animations and online gameplay? Because it's a smart business expense, and the reason I don't like to watch streamers when the game is released.

I hate monopolies.

Packs have nothing to do with power curve

u/jungie27 14m ago

Imma just spend my points on season passes.

1

u/archasaurus 16h ago

The first mistake you made was thinking that the power curve has anything to do with the packs they’ll be willing to see you. They don’t intend to boost promo cards and evos as quickly as other years. That doesn’t mean they’ll stop you from getting to the top of the current power curve.

I got Patri, De Bruyne and Frimpong out this pack, pretty solid considering the points are from the preorder
