FUT Casual Player Experience is Dead 🫩

[ancient jungle]

Listen. I’ll be the first to say it—I’m not the greatest player. But that’s because I work 80+ hours a week. I know a lot of people are in the same boat. When I get downtime, I just want to hop on, play something quick, and enjoy it. And when I do have time, I’ll grind.

But this game is missing something huge…

REWARDING.

This game is NOT rewarding—whether you’re casual or grinding hard. Here’s why:

1. As a casual, I’m not dropping thousands on FUT points. I’ve spent a few hundred, sure. Packing something good feels nice—but that’s basically the ONLY way to feel rewarded. Which leads to…

2. The power curve is ridiculous. You grind coins or spend money to improve your team, and by Friday it’s outdated. So now you need more packs. But how am I supposed to keep up when I’m a Div 6 player playing Champs-level opponents?

3. Objectives gatekeep rewards. I don’t mind grinding—but I do mind being matched against players 5–10 levels above me just to win 5 games for a basic pack. That’s not casual. That’s punishment.

How to fix it:

1. Reward player time. Add modes with weekly challenges—like using specific players or recreating moments. Reward coins and tradable packs. Let people grind for value, not just gamble for it. Add Moments with TOTW scenarios—complete them, earn a player pick. Tradable. Let grinders earn, and buyers buy. Also add long-term collections—build squads over time for legend rewards. Give people something meaningful to work toward.

2. Slow down content. Weekly promos kill the game. Cards become useless instantly. Make promos matter—monthly drops, bigger events.

3. Fix matchmaking. Base it on Rivals rank in live modes. No one should be getting farmed by players way above their level for basic rewards.

At the end of the day, if you reward time, people will stay. More players = more engagement = more money long term.

Right now? This ain’t it. EA FC… do better.

🫩It’s the gameplay that’s bad…. If gameplay was good packs wouldn’t matter….

This is just a post referring to content. Not gameplay.

The competition is crazy, beyond a pathological level.

People at EA really think that everyone would like to be a Pro player?!

I don't aim to be a Pro player, this is for sure.

I would only like to slightly compete and collect my favorite cards in a relaxed and non-stressful pace.

I think there’s a big misunderstanding when it comes to games across the board. Developers thinks everyone wants to be a professional, content creator or streamer. Thus leaving us normal people in a mix where things aren’t fun.

Games gone, they don’t listen it’s a pointless exercise lads

Took 8 weeks for them to fix the player automatic position picker for sbcs 😂 they don’t care anymore

The gameplay is good, not like years back but is better that nothing, the problem is that people playing like they are in world cup final for win 10 Million dollars, and playing the most borring gameplay ever

[wise compass]

Yes, @umbral oasis I agree 100% with you

The rewards are so bad and still people sweat like their family is on the line every game, so ea isn’t incentivized to up the prizes since people are tryharding for crumbles

[wise compass]

EA should propose objectives only like: “play a match with…”, not even “score with…”, and should not limit matches. Because many ones try-hard even in the Triple Threat event!

The play a match is bad imo because people don’t quit
