Reacting to “The Truth about EA Sports” 

Can’t you have a disclaimer below your facecam or behind you, on every Fifa video, about not spending money on points? That would constantly remind the viewers (including the EA Employee viewers) about this trash game. Also, It could become a trend among the fifa youtubers and could be one efficient way to take the boycott further.

Bro looks like he hasn't slept in weeks. Got those Trossard eyes damn

Matt is missing the point. No one expects 90% of the playerbase to stop playing. A 10% drop in the HARDCORD player base to EA is 100s of millions to EA. Their investors would run away in an instant. The casual players are playing kickoff and pro clubs with their mates. Most of them don't even spend on the game. It's just a sorry excuse.

Casual dad here. I play football games since ISS. Most games weren't so bad that I stopped playing. Pes is almost dead now. FC 24 is so bad that it made me just stop playing football games for the first time in my life. 90% of my friends stopped playing FC too. The casual playerbase is shrinking. The revenues are at all time highs. What's does this tell you ? People who watches all those RU-vidrs are what's left. They are buying the packs. Not the casual playerbase. So who can solve the problem by stopping buying packs ? I think RU-vidrs can make a change. Just my opinion

from top 10 goals of the week to top ten mistakes of the week is crazy

Wow I forgot MattHDGamer even existed

What happened is a DEVELOPER CHANGED THE odds to open his rewards but the goof forgot to turn it off AND LEFT IT ON . he left it on for two long and folks got rewarded I’m sure the developer finished his matches quick left home but forgot to change the odds

Are EA employees incentivized to sign NDAs when they leave the company? Surely some developer can come out and tell us A) How the DDA/scripting works in game? Kick off goals, 45/90th min goals. B) How pack weight works in Fifa? If its based on your record? The amount of time youve spent playing the game? The cards you have in your club? Surely someone can come forth and do an interview with Nick and tell us.

Matt after doing this video went back and opened fifa point share plays the next day... This guy dosent get the issue here..

bro matt looks so different now. EA wore his ass out man 😂😂😭😭 nick take care of yourself bro, don't let them kill ur spirit

If someone was going to purposefully try sabotage ea I’d assume they’d do some more damage than increasing pack odds on a player pick or changing the content drop times 😂

You had it right the first time Nick, only way boycott will work is to stop playing the game entirely, daily active user numbers are an extremely valuable metric of performance to EA as well. Unfortunately this community is so addicted to packs (SBC loops are also packs) they can’t even find another game to play for a month and EA knows this so they will just continue their predatory behavior. Seriously people it only takes a bit of willpower and a tiny bit of self discipline

Mans teeth are brighter than my future

It's frustrating that Matt has proposed no action. Creating competition for EA is not something that 99.999% of players can do.

The game starts with an unskipable cutscene, lost me before I even started

So first he says a protest wont do anything because they dont care... Then he goes on showing examples of how much they DO care. They WANT to look good. Why would they go out of their way and tell him to take the videos down? Nick is right. MEDIA COVERAGE is important. The more the better. We have to break out of our bubble and reach the whole gaming community. People who are big in general need to cover this and we achieve this with media coverage.

My man

They're manipulating the odds to try to generate hype - like CoD releasing initially broken guns. Common tactic to farm engagement/mentions.

This matt guy looks on herooin every video I see for him

I’m just sat here smiling at this whole debacle. I quit FIFA entirely after 19 and despite my mate’s pressures, haven’t bought another FIFA/EAFC game since and am not going to. I always said the core problem with the game was the horrible gameplay. And seemingly from what I’ve seen, it’s gotten worse with new gen. EA don’t care about making a quality sports game. Go and ask Madden, NHL and UFC players about the garbage they’ve put up with as well because of the gambling-focused monetisation of their games. If you’re still playing this game and find yourself hating every second, stop playing it. If you’re fed up with EA’s lack of consideration of their product, stop playing it. I promise you, it’ll do you the world of good for your mental health. The only way the game gets better is if people stop playing it. End of.

He says he enjoys the game but we all know that's a lie 😂 we ALL love to upgrade our team and that feeling of packing good players, yes. But i refuse to believe anyone enjoys FC24 gameplay, the game literally changes mid match to the point where both halves feel like a completely different game it's a joke 😂 every single player has a different corner glitch, different kick off glitch etc.. you score a goal and EA lets the other guy equalize instantly by making your players do animations that don't even make sense, can't player switch, your defence parts like the red sea and when you FINALLY get good gameplay the guy leaves whilst you're 2-0 up and makes you get a loss.. like bro NOBODY enjoys this gameplay why is he talkin shit 😂

NAHHH no way I got an ad about FC points on this vid😂

If a RU-vidr is worried about taking a break from covering PIFA, their content is likely not creative, they are bad at their job, and are hanging on to some popularity they once had.

You know it has gotten bad when Matt of all people is advertising coins, he's always been very EA friendly even when calling them out

Iam very surprised you didn't yawned once while watching a matt video

The definition of ea is a bad relationship

His veneers don’t fit his mouth. Can’t listen to someones advice when they make decisions like that.

*Gandhi wants to talk* 😂😂 what is this chat😂

EA needs to be protested, it’s a terrible company the casual player doesn’t spend money. You will not change anything unless you impact them financially!!!

I have so much respect for Matt after watching this. He became a "Game-Changer" but refused to sell his soul. Props to him. And with all due respect to Nick, there's a HUGE difference in the way that Matt conducts himself compared to some of the other creators he mentioned that are critical of the game. Matt approaches the situation with integrity and maturity. Guys like 28T, Kurt, etc...act like toxic ego-maniac man-children that do it exclusively for the clout, all the while gloating over how much money they've raised for charity or whatever. They just enjoy whipping their fans (that are mostly kids, lets be honest) into a rage. You can call Matt's content bland, buy damn it, he's going about it the right way, while some of these other guys are doing as much or more harm than good for the community.

never realized how useless fifa points really are

Pick up on that clear contradiction... "we have mortgages, if I switch games, it will half our revenue" a few moments later "if I didn't enjoy the game I'd stop playing it". Well doesn't that just sum it up. The fact he didn't even notice this shows how lost he is in compromising his morals for this easy and financially beneficial lifestyle.

playing crazy this weekend trying to get good reds, made it to rank 2 and got a GK and full girona picks.. is a breaking point for me.. after seeing mbappes after mbappes after dembeles after dembeles.. it's really not worth it grinding or even playing this game anymore..

His fake teeth looks crazy lol

I actually dont think youtubers realise that they have turned a generation into gambling addicts. Yet youtubers are still telling their fans to buy coins. The game is 90% menus & 10% gameplay. The large youtubers should definitely be not playing it and showing people why they shouldn't either. If it hurts your income, so what. Id rather lose income than promote a company that wants your money and nothing else. No integrity or dignity these days. Also everytime you stream their game you're giving them free advertising. Also Matt makes points for 20 minutes then finishes it off with "they just dont care" its so stupid its genuinely hilarious.

matt needs to move to football manager now.

Boycotting the game with 3 months in its lifecycle realistically won’t do shit. Stop pre ordering the game. Wait for Ea college football to drop if it’s trash then we all boycott

MattHDYapper 😭🙏

They start to care, if their revenues will drop as hell. #BoycottEA

I quit playing the game months ago. I modded the legends into the kick off squads for career too, way more fun than UT. Y’all should try it too.

i got wrong player for reward - contacted support and they said they cant help me. wtf ?? in previous years they would give me packs or something. Now they dont even care for people who constantly buying same game

Nick man you gotta pause him when you talk over him when he is talking about something valid brotha😂🤛

This is football. Now that was a proper footie game

Anyone who says a boycott wouldn't change anything is flat wrong. Even a 5 % reduction is revenue would get their attention. A small portion of their influential community members can make a big difference

KSI used to call out EA, its weird coz it feels like since he stopped making FIFA content the game went downhill fast

Bro I stopped playing Fifa after the 22 version due to starting my masters which I have now finished about 8 months ago. Never bought fifa points/coins in my life. Loved the RTG challenge and finishing the year with full Portuguese squad. I used to literally play 3/4hrs a day and miss playing it but just watching these videos is keeping me away from buy a ps5 and getting fc24 or further fcs.

Cold point from Pick. It's about the media, bad PE equals less sales of the next game. All these mid to low volume creators are of prong this to defend still playing it. Which is disappointing. Doing this during TOTS would have been so powerful it's such a shame they wouldn't get on board. The game essentially dies now from a revenue perspective with shapeshifters and futties so it was now or never :/

that top 50 video about fifa 20 is so fucking funny to me because the most annoying meta rat thing for like 4 months in that game was Ben Yedder, it doesn't even compare to the most minimal problems nowadays

On top of everything, behind the team that actually handles eafc there’s a higher up group of executives who don’t even know what the game is who are the ones deciding how much time and talent is given to the devs. The only way for them to notice would be if eafc started losing money which is not possible

Nick you are so right. Myself im a fan of good gameplay, but at the same time, i cant play a game for too long if im gonna be facing "London blue" instead of Chelsea

More hate to EA sh*t , more love for Nick .

Forget all these videos on ea pick we wanna see FM!!

I haven’t played ultimate team in months since the TOTY Messi thing. I only play pro clubs & I wish it was more customizable in terms of how your stadium or character looks.

Man played 3 rivals games today and with horrible connection on even 30-35 ms pings Ball rolls dont get registered Passes dont go where i want them to Players run like that they are stuck in mud Even my kubo and raphinha feel linke trucks

Gonth wants to talk 😂 and joe rogan 😂

Listening to this dude give real insight on the type of people involved in making this game makes me sick

Matt looks like he's not been sleeping for 2 years now.

EA losing exclusive rights to NFL football is the ONLY WAY at this point for them to be stopped. If the NFL keeps them at the teat exclusively, then they have zero incentive to change their behavior. FC24 is just one of the symptoms (Battlefield, Madden and F1 being the others)

Promoting coins is wrong Nic. Its inflated prices beyond a joke. I cant take anyone serious dissing the game who then promote coins. They're hypocrite snakes. Dont be one of those guys

this came out 3 minutes ago and ive seen it all this changes everything 🔥🔥🔥

i think this wouldve been a great tiem for you to make a reacts channel mate, i feel like youve missed out here haha

alright then, cmon guys lets all make a competitor for fifa!!

We need a ‘Quiet on Set’ for EA…. FR FR!

Inception wants to talk with you!

Im waiting for the nicks top 500 things i hate about fc24

Make an Euro fantasy video please, a draft and chip strategy

Nick is the rat king

I had to delete the game cause of the privacy and cookie policy. 400+ hours of playing gone like its nothing. Such a shit company

just logged in to efootball and got 10k from the admin as an apology 🤣🤣

hilarious, 50 things about fifa 20. which was a decent game xD

Nickrtfm: “This game is dog shit!!”.👍 Nickrtfm: “Stupid game”.😂👍

We need a graffic of baby icon pick

I think we’re ready for 2K25, the road is paved.

It’s mad. I really liked this game, I enjoyed playing it. I have now stopped playing because I HATE EA. It’s a genuine hatred at this point. I saved up over 250 packs, the majority decent enough (85x10 etc) for TOTY full release. Then they killed the pack odds and I got Earps, that was it. Not played since. Seeing the Mbappe incident is no surprise, I also agree it’s some inside hatred coming from within the company though. Especially the mbappe one. Someone on the inside showing how bad the packweight is and how it can be manipulated at any point

How about top 5 league players saying boycott ea at-the end of games during interviews

Nick, I support u, and us the community 😢

If you want Ea Sports to react and make the game better,,, you can buy the game , play it but don’t spend actual more $ on UT ,,, that’s how you affect EaSports cause you affect directly their pockets !!! That’s how you get them to change , just like every other company affect their $

EA sports related. F1 24 is about to launch and will get destroyed. Content creators got early access, and it’s already getting hated. Tiny player base to fC24. But more angles EA get criticised from. Better. Especially from content creators who are part of creator network.

I wish Efootball content creators were this vocal about the game, sadly the football game is dying day by day....

I’d argue there’s more than 3 types of people, cos FC24 is literally an arcade style slow paced game, I understand realism breaks the game too but overall the game doesn’t even reflect football so it can’t be called a simulation, so some people want slow or fast paced games, some want arcade and some want realism, some want licences, but all these variables are also on a spectrum, it’s definitely hard to appeal to everyone, but to me FC24 is the worst product EA could’ve made, the licences being in the game is literally even offensive to football as a sport

in few months everybody will be pre ordering fc 25 and will forget about this until this company make some new huge mistakes

U know who nick shud reach out to n get them to join the movement. Pros. Yes he's friends with some but I'm talking anders tekkz level. Imagine the media coverage they'll get for calling out EA. Cuz the main issue with the gameplay is at their level not the casual creator rtg lvl( look at how many creators say they enjoy the game) Pros need to get the word out so the devs cud at least shake up the meta/talk about this auto drop back bs. And responsiveness issues too. Cuz if ea don't get the pros thousands of dollars at the beginning of the game (for eg) they usually drop to enter tourneys in a public way. That would also put pressure on EA to respond.

It is what it is

Having veneers in your 30s is crazy

Im a casual player who has played Fifa since fifa started but i quit this game after the mbappe and dembele etc rubbish ive had enough of EA

No one enjoys this game, it’s a fuckin gambling addiction for all of us and that’s literally it

You cannot expect an apology from a company who believes they did the right thing by changing the red picks during Ligus 1 tots

No I'm sorry. I work for a big corporate like many others do... like EA. There's enough controls in place for risk that this this guy is basing his weak argument on. I just joined fut this year and the state of this game has turned its community toxic... driven by predatory behavior. I appreciate everything our community are trying to do... the ones that are trying to make a better fifa.

I stopped playing FIFA in 2016 because I saw direction of the game which sadly is the end result of many modern games especially within the sports genre. Have some respect for yourself and trust me I want to play FIFA.

Nick u gotta start using “allegedly”

Bro are you JJ Reddick son?

I heard Diddy wants to talk to you Nick

The claim about competition being meaningless from the chat is pretty silly. It's a very simple concept. You want to make money, and in a competitive space, making money naturally entails putting forward a product that people *want* to play and spend time and money on over and against the competitor. That means putting out a quality product.

FIFA isn’t a game it’s a casino

I bought coins for the first time in 8 years of playing fifa in December @£50 transaction. Got an istaban within 4 hrs. No final warning or anything. In truth probably the best thing that happened due to the state of this game 😂

I don’t get why people don’t want to let Nick talk during his streams, it actually irritates me. Whole reason we watch him is for HIM. Let him waffle, he’s hilarious.

Fully convinced i could spend 10k on points because and I’ll never pack anything good, also don’t you get banned for buying coins?

Why does Matthdgamer look like he's crying when making the video

Love how all these content creators are coming out and bashing EA, and then you have Bateson who keeps giving them money daily and keeps his mouth shut💀yall should call him out too

We need a new football game
