Reacting to "The Current State of EAFC 24..." 

Remember that EA is hated also outside of the FIFA community. Try to approach huge drama/gamer creators outside of FIFA, such as MoistCritikal, they have nothing to lose and are probably willing to cover this issue. They could do huge media damage if they cover this controversy. To go down that route might help, however I really appreciate your efforts Nick.

can we not talk about a 700k pack in the store being normalized???? like what the actual fuck???? 100k packs 125k packs for some promo's was fine but your seriously telling me people are loading up FP or actually spending 700k for a pack and its UNTRADEABLE??? this game is so fucked

Inception wants to talk to you

Last fifa it actually felt rewarding playing fut champs. I remember I got Pedri on my red picks and salah, now I barely get a gk

jordi alba like that

i think im gonna quit fifa for good man, this game isnt gonna change.

11:09 nick defending auzios point is really great to see nick has read the negative comments about auzio even if they were true at least he is speaking up now

Honestly, we as the viewers have given all creators their platform, supported them. Now when it’s their time to support us and our game, they don’t care, they just care about the bottom line. Sucks to see. Not you though Pick, you the GOAT, but don’t get yourself Kurted please.

Fair play Auzio and to Nick for a thorough review. Its good to see a competitive streamer community show each other respect. Id love to see Nick and Auzio discuss on a live stream

Auzio is the main culprit for showing all the share plays looooool that’s literally all his content

I feel like bringing up in game mistakes makes this movement look weak and thats why media wouldnt cover this. auzio complains about gameplay when there are bigger problems like the game being literally gambling and how matthd says they dont care about any feedback.

The only way EA will listen is if Bateson and/or Danny Aarons stop spending points

sales to previous fifa are down 30% less people bought it so ofc they make the packs worse to milk more from the remaining users

Honestly the hate for auzio is unbelievable hes a great content creator and comes across as a chill guy

On a tangentially related note, why did Dembele get a TOTS he ain’t do shit 😂

First time commenting on a video about EAFC. These issues just shows how disgraceful EA is. I think the community of EAFC should work well together for this issues because all of us are victim since the TOTY Messi player pick or even from the previous versions of fifa, this is not the first time that EA have made, and all of us have to let EA hear and accepts public opinions from their player base. What EA is trying to do is leave it as it was, they are trying to ignore the problems that made us suffered for so many times and they does it everytime, and I am afraid people will forget about the problem soon. The only way we (normal players) can do is not to spend any money on this game, we have to show our attitude to EA. If EA without gamers support them, they are literally nothing. Just like football in real life. Yet, they chose to ignore players' opinions and exploit to their players everytime. If this time the problem did not get solved, it will definitely happen again in FC 25, FC 26. Nonetheless, huge respect for content creators who helped us to spread out the information and trying to get us compensations from EA.

Before i quit fifa i played more champs games than rivals overall. I was in div 1. Even the gameplay felt different

Nick, I’ve played 300 games of squad battles, tried champs the other week (failed a run and qualified second time) however yesterday afternoon I packed a tots mbappe untradable. I’ve got mates in elite and well over 1500 games who play champs most weeks who get bugger all however I packed him in div 9. Shows how undeserving this game it and it angers me that I now need to play this game

Good to see that your original tweet has managed to create some serious discourse within the community after a few days of the social media shit show we have had. I think even if your original tweet was misconstrued by some people, it has still managed to go viral and might have been helped somewhat so I for one applaud you for what you said Nick! Good to see Auzio for stepping up. Not a creator I personally watch but nice for him to recognise how his actions can have such a broad impact on his community given the views / fans etc he has and to take action to use his platform to promote a healthier way of enjoying Fifa. This is also true of other smaller creators who’ve taken similar actions even though it may have a more negative effect on their earnings. Good to see good characters shining through 💪

Auzio doing this as damage control basically, fair play he didn’t need to do this but seems like damage limitation

Pick's 3peat of rant videos>>>both of Jordan's 3peat

On the point of asking for too much, I do believe that the fifa community is guilty of this in a lot of ways (perhaps not in the seasons aspect). We complained that only having TOTW, TOTY, and TOTS wasn’t enough. So they decided to add more promos, but they limited it to not get too many insane players too early. Then we complained that there weren’t enough players keeping up with the power curve, and only the top 2-3 players per promo were good enough. Then EA added more good players and gave good boosts to make more usable players. Then the community complained that too many of the same players were getting promo cards. Then EA added in new players, but had to give crazy boosts to keep up with the power curve. Now we’re complaining that TOTS cards are bad because they’re not better than the last promo, or they won’t be relevant in a week. I’m Not saying that EA is doing anything well, but as a community, we complain ourselves into hole that EA doesn’t want to dig us out of

And the fact that no one has spoken about anti cheat is INSANEEE, i already played against like 20 cheaters, 10 min and my team is dead, literally 0 stam, against invisible teams, EVERYTHING

Of course EA doesn't leave these cards in the picks. IT'S NOT A MISTAKE!! They do this 100% to trigger the FOMO of the player base. So loads of players play more, open packs/ do SBCs right after release just to chase the next 'mistake'.

nick is on a generational rant run

I’ve played fifa since 2001 but the second I saw EAFC24 I knew it was over. I still haven’t touched this game this year considering is was addicted to it before and a rank 1/2 player. Hope it returns to how it used to be.

I saw this coming, last years game was so bad it pushed me to my limit and FC 24 was the first fifa game i didn't buy in decades. I'm 30 and been playing it all my life but EA drove me to the point where when FC 24 was released i genuinely thought my life will be more enjoyable without playing another fifa and i was right. I'm so happy i sat this fifa out, even though i do miss it, but what i miss isn't the game that fifa is any more.

It’s crazy to hear Auzio mirror what Inception has been saying for years.

You set the trend bro whilst lots of people were skeptical and saying that there is no point! Atleast we got a trend running now!!!!!

I have someone on my friends list that was one of the 75% that got toty Messi he hasn't played the game since he packed him till now he plays other games

amazing reaction. Thanks for starting this wave idol !!

Bro is speaking more about the issues of packing idc about that man main thing for me is the gameplay!!!!

The only issue I had about Auzio’s video is that he mentioned that he “speaks about it on Twitch”. When he has half the subs and the videos are hours long. So we have to scrub through hours or watch live to see his opinion? Once you’re a larger creator it’s important to post your views when issues like this happen on your biggest channels.

For the people that will still say: "Oh he's still opening share-plays". He said he won't be doing share-plays regarding opening packs.

Guys Gamestop stock price raised about 100% today, this is how/what we should do with EA. EA will not care about the community if they still have a strong financial performance or a good stock price. Let the stock price drop until they fix the issue.

Out of all ea done the toty messi annoyed me more because it was a easy sbc that loads of people got but with the mbappe they technically got rewards but i wish they just left both for another day to give more people a chance but either way its just ea doing ea things

Inception wants to talk to you!

I think the only reason that seasonal player pick wasnt adjusted was because they werent the S tier level of players that were being handed out, the +5 million coins players. If it was mbappe and messi being handed out like Rodrygo and sanchez, i think they wouldve adjusted the odds too.

I always quick sell all those damn tifos if i accidentally ever get them

The community has largely been speaking up on this, great job Nick. I’ve been playing fifa since fifa 13 and I’ve always raged playing fifa but this year the Messi and Mbappe mistakes were too much for me man and I think it’s the last straw. Can’t log on at 1 pm (east coast time) because I have a fucking job so I miss out on a chance at Messi. Then I can’t play 20 fucking games on a Friday because I have a life and have zero chance at mbappe as a result. This is coming from a Div 2 champs player every week, it feels like ea is purposefully wasting our time and then we get shafted with packs/rewards

Nick woke up every content creator in the entire universe and probably the entire multiverse! Kudos bro kudos! 🎉

Yoooo could u make an analysis video comparing this years game to a year where the gameplay was good? Specifically comparing the ai defending. It would be nice to see what we have been missing out on for so long.

Auzio can't even say dollars instead of FC Points. Always makes it sound so distant from reality. Some packs are like FIFTY dollars. It's insane.

love it speaking for the community both of you

in fifa 22 my red picks were as follows, community tots: Laporte and Zaha. Prem tots: Son and Dias (in prem upgrades i got KDB and Cancelo) Bundasliga tots: Wirtz and Muller. Laliga tots: Kounde and Pedri on main account, RTG i got Modric and Alaba. Ligue 1 tots: Marquinhos and Nuno Mendes. Seria tots: Berardi and Tonali. Ultimate tots: Rafael Leao and paqueta. This year? all my reds have gone straight into SBCS, i havent given them the time of day in my team, not just because they were shit, but also because every player i have is so juiced and over saturated that TOTS basically dont get in now. They have ruined rewards by Making it impossible to get good rewards unless they fuck up and make it unenjoyable to open the rewards knowing that you used to actually be able to pack fun players. TOTS Henderson in fifa 20 was 600k, that card in this market would be 35k because he is just fodder. They need to change so much but just make the game fair. im an 11 win maybe 14 win player, i dont mind having these odds if i knew that the cracked players who deserve the players like KDB, mbappe, dembele, Haaland were actually getting them, but its the fact i know i literally have a 0% chance of getting them that makes me ponder why i play the game. I wasnt flexing my previous years of luck as i know im lucky, i was showcasing how drastically the rewards have devolved into such poor and shit players. Its so shameless that they think by changing so much it'll get better, sometimes keeping things the way they are is better than trying to change it. TLDR I used to get decent to great rewards and im pissed off that its impossible for even the best to get good rewards

We don’t even have to stop playing the game it’s literally unplayable right now

Just this past weekend I was finishing champs on a MONDAY, I was 10-9 and got disconnected 4 minutes into the game and it gave me the loss. And then about 30 seconds later I uninstalled.

nah its so true. when i open packs this year i have no hope and expect a bad pack, but last year i would get so excited to open them expecting something decent. hurts man.

Remember, I know it’s a bit tough, and there are dream solutions but people can only help in the way that they can. Could you argue that Auz could do more? Yes. But is what he doing better than nothing? Yes. As long as everyone’s making steps towards the same goal, not everyone has to go the extra mile or be extreme. It’s good to hear people speaking up about the game and taking actions as well. Respect to Auz

didnt know Pozuelo had this in his locker

It surprises me how a company that is Fortune 500 can mess up this badly, how I think champs should have been is the lower ranks, like rank 5 and 4, should’ve gotten what we got for bundesliga, which was mid, while rank 2 and 1 shouldve gotten what prem tots gave out, and rank 3 should’ve been in between both

pack weight issue was the same as toty. toty midfielders was actually decent. but afterwards it all went downhill

this is what i always think: ea takes "everyone makes mistakes" to a whole new level

EA is EA as always. I miss the old times from FIFA 14 to 17, where you was able to run with goldies and IFs until TOTY/TOTS easily. Now, everyone got rainbow squads (me too) and your skill is worth nothing, cuz the gameplay is the main prob and when EA want you to lose, you lose. I only can hope that some other publisher came out with a football game. I loved PES from 2008-2012, but it is just not the same...

you started something boss. good on ya, you got eas pet to speak

He’s got a point, I don’t think I’ve ever come up against TOTS Kane yet or Musiala

I pulled insane cards during toty and my team was the best its ever been before end of year promos. As soon as toty Messi sbc happened and was taken away, i havent played a day since. I didnt get a chance to do the sbc.

For whatever reason my defending AI is unplayably bad, my AI defenders will literally stand still and just turn out of the way as my opponent dribbles right by them. I have my whole team on aggressive interceptions and pressure on heavy touch and they ignore passes going right by their feet. Maybe something else with my tactics is wrong but 95% of the time any defender I’m not controlling is just standing and watching my opponents dribble and pass right past them

Bro whatever you say.. i had no hate towards auzio from the start... You may say he promoted store packs, that's fair. But i knew he does it cuz he gets views. It's more of a streamer/content reason. Yes, i was frustrated on him about - not pointing out the issues we were facing the whole year. Last year as well. Him doing this video, increase the respect i have for him. Not as in i am praising him. But i do respect him for doing this. He could've said more about the gameplay but i guess he don't wanna talk cuz his gameplay is tooo ratty 🤣🤣🤣. Overall W from Auzio. He is here when the whole community needs him.

Yo am I tripping or when promos were out in previous games, they would remove the gold version of the card so you don’t feel robbed. When it happened last year I swear i remember getting compensated.

I played on Monday and Tuesday and it was atrocious, lags, freezes, disconnects, delays, easily debunked the email from so called EA employee

everyone is forgetting the rugby bug with trikster where you could run with the ball and score... keep it up, hopefully one day they will change something

If EA doesn’t make the tweet about changing the weight and did it secretly; I think this big issue is avoided. Unfortunate EA

Regardless of your stance on this topic of whichever content creator you support, do not go spreading hate or speaking ill about other creators. We have to foster a community of unity and acceptance rather than division. If we go tearing each other down, the only winner is EA. Don’t forget what we’re all fighting for.

In fifa 20 it was necessary to play drop back and even then it could break with some drag backs . In this years game if you have the tactics the defenders playing for you.... Way worse

I an a long time fifa shill/addict. I know it's dogshit but i couldnt stop playing it or spending money on the game. Today, i put every card into an sbc and uninstalled. This company will NEVER change unless there are law changes. So i wont hold my breathe.

I'm currently trying to do my daily 3 games and working on Goncalves, I've been d/c 5 times won one game 8-0 was in the changing room animation after the game, kicked go back in and it's 3-0 to the AI. This should take around 25 mins I'm nearly an hour in and only one game has counted so far

Me just chilling with my Dembele 😎

I feel like not pre ordering the next game is a proper way to boycott but knowing the FIFA community that’s gonna be tough.

You may not know how difficult it is to play FIFA in a country where EA does not launch the game. We pay extra money for access to HK server and guess how far it is from north China to HK. So the lag is super. But what stopped me playing much earlier this FIFA than other years was the obvious lower pack rate and huge mistakes (e.g. Messi card), and the funny compensation.

Auzio holding in his tears😢 After all this pain.....

How is it legal for EA to change the pack weight behind the scenes?

I hate everything about this guy. He literally an embodiment of everything that's wrong and went wrong about Fifa and the online industry as a whole. These people are not gamers, they are gamblers, and they have never been gamers before, they just jumped to the wave of online gaming in the recent years.

I may get hate for this but, i spend quite a bit on FP every year. I can afford it and i enjoy opening the packs, but ive had enough. Im done with the FP for this year and maybe forever if things dont get better.

I got ads right after Pick said “sorry for the ads guys”

During prem tots I packed Haaland, Salah, Rice, Saliba none of those from store packs. Bundasliga and ligue 1 are dead as f haven't packed anything note worthy

EA and their nerfing system: 16 - Berba spin, scoop turn OP -> 17 - Berba spin, scoop turn barely usable 18 - low drivens OP -> 19 - low drivens useless(unless you first shot then low driven, which is different shot technically) 19 - finesses, overheads, headers, green timing OP -> 20 - everything listed useless 21 - elastico, bridge, low cross OP -> 22 - elastico, bridge useless, low cross useless 23 - trivela, lengthy OP -> 24 - trivela, lengthy useless Incredible they shift the game so much. I think it is their tactic to do so. So the skill gap is smaller and smaller. Especially with the AI-zation of animations and automatization of tons of systems in game. Soon the game will be playable only for robots and AI. And the worst thing is with their systems the EA can't technically make it balanced. And even if they could they wouldn't want to do it. So it's incompetence layered with unwillingness and overcomplication of everything in terms of gameplay. AND they are obviously handling the bigger issues outside of said gameplay, such as need for profits and growth by corpo-rats while having lower attention and community hating company. TOP1 in the world in terms of lack of relations between players and creators, constant greediness with the FIFA license and cooperation gone. This game has dark future in current state, when PR finally ends EA FC could be shitted more than people when birds were on lactatives on a cloudy beach in a famous video.

I belive the mindset EA set us up in fifa 23 was hoping for something similar, I re downloaded the game and was like “holy shit it was so much better”, I think seeing as our standards were completely killed showed us how bad and shit the game truly is, making people finally (Nick) stand up for the community

Will u do rat to glory?

Trivelas should've never been nerfed when these corner tactics are still so op

tried to finish my champs late with 1 win until rank 5, and ea decides to drop the old scheduled maintenance just mere hours before it ends. great company 👍

Auzio has not spoken about this ONCE until he started getting slack for it. If anything Auzio should be getting more limelight after the amount of EA promoting and shareplay farming he's done. From all the years I've watched and played FIFA, I've really only seen Nick and Inception really point out and rant about the game. There is no defending Auzio or Bateson or whoever that is doing damage control now since Nick's pretty much exposed them for what they are.

the game's server is not even playable now, at least for me on PC. The least they can do is fix the game's basic issue and then move up from there, like what is the management doing in EA??

@nickrtm you need to try the power shot using players who have less movement with power shot trait, I think it’s the new meta

I feel like complaining about rewards misses the point. Rewards shouldn’t be the motivating factor to get us to play, it should be because the gameplay is good. Even with good rewards you just get into a cycle of playing a game you don’t enjoy, in order to get rewards, to get better players, to use in a game you don’t really enjoy … it makes no sense unless you’re a defensive, which granted most of us are.

Meanwhile inception reacting to nick reacting to the current state of ea fc 😂

The Messi pick I noticed was mostly on Xbox and still I couldn’t play for both of those insistence

CAN YOU AT LEAST PLAY TOPSPIN LIKE DAMN

Waiting for Auzio's reaction to inception's reaction to this reaction video.

I got fs ronaldinho in the for you pack back in future stars

I think the fact that no one has mentioned the game almost requiring you to play everyday is surprising. If you don’t play atleast an hour a day you are falling behind.

This is the first fifa I’ve uninstalled, been playing UT since 13 as well

Del Castillo... And Donnarumma ofc

In my opinion the points that Auzio makes are solely on what ea changed that messed up his content. For example, the champs rewards, he was saying like how he would be happy to be having a crazy rewards video as he was seeing the mbappes and dembeles on his twitter/ X. Or the campaign bag being released in the store instead of the sbc section so he has less people actually opening these. Just a few words about the purely defensive setting rather than saying and also showing how random this game actually is

my worst experience on fifa ever this weekend, woke up, missed out on the mbappes and dembeles, didnt wanna play, forced myself to play last night, oh my days, servers were chalked, dc'd in 3 games i won, on top of the lag, made me miss out on 14 wins. im so done with this shit company, i havent bought a store pack with fc points in 6 years.

The Monday reset is cap i got DC from 5 champs games yesterday

Cold pokes stray 🥶🥶

What’s the best way to stay in the loop and know when these type of glitches happen so you can at least try get a toty messi or dembele before ea come and nerf it instantly

Ea act like anyone who got Messi never bought a pack from the store. These guys are insanely dumb and out of touch with the playerbase

React to Stanmans critique vid as he was playing the game 🙏
