seems legit
Damn
it is all about money, not sports, not gamesā¦ but just money.
Anyway, I started playing EA games (NHL92) back in 1992ā¦ gonna miss the original EA, even they made the football games so terrible.
Mohamed Bin Salman will be an unlockable character in ultimate teams.

Kushner involved in a 55bn dealā¦its a bit like that Kobe Bryant meme Iād imagine.
Listening to a podcast right now and they were joking about this resulting in EA slowing down a bit on the womenās inclusion.
Didnāt think about it at the time but FIFA has gone big on showcasing womenās football over the years.
Now the Saudis do have their own female football teams so itās not something theyāre completely against it but unless Iām mistaken, men and women playing sports together is considered haram.
Are they gonna adjust FUT to stop mixed gender teams going forward?
Have you played this game?
It is just all wrong.
Put aside gender, when you see a 5ā6ā 130lbs female barging to a 6ā4ā 180 lbs male and able to knock him away from position to get the ball.. this is absurd.
I see this a lot, and I am the one using the big male defender.
Been playing a bit of FUT and the game is a horrible mess.
Everyone playing up front with Claudia Pina and Salma Paralluelo, abusing their length and strength.
a lot of players doing the same move, spinning around to make your defenders out of position (since CM/CDM are not helping out defense) to score, they call it a fidget spinner.
Yeah, very stupidā¦ people abusing the loopholes of the gameā¦
If not Pro club (team up with real people), I am not going to play this at all.
I bought this version for my son because he wants the pre-order benefit.
For the FUT, to get some Silver icons you need to play 100 games to getā¦ 100 games!!!
Plain stupid and not going to do it.

I think Iām going to buy it today for pro clubs. Is clubs decent at least?
it is getting more and more of a reaction game, to be frankā¦
people abusing the one touch playstyleā¦ and it is like pinball everywhere (speak from a 52 year old).
very difficult to defend IMO.
It is decentā¦ not great not terribleā¦ just to keep my eye-hand coordination working.

I was actually thinking of buying this early for the first time in forever. You are certainly discouraging me. 
if you are not playing with friends or on existing team(s), donāt bother
Time to restart project OA on pro clubs.
Think most of my friends have graduated from FIFA.
Not that I ever needed them to play the game though.
Used to spend hours playing all on my own in the past.
I used to play NHL for years, but stopped for a few yearsā¦ never look back.
You wonāt miss it if not playing.
I do think part of it is growing up and not having as much time to justify spending hours on a single game.
