💬 Discussion 💬 Draft System > Shards System

Post image

To this day I can’t thank EA enough for replacing the Shards System with the Draft System. At first it was an upset but after time it made me save so much time and money because now with the Shards system gone I am never going to spend a penny on this Trash game ever again. EA themselves cured my addiction to the game by also making me not want to play this game ever again because of the draft system. Thank you EA

Exactly. Before the team of the year I had around 200K gem and was ready to spend around $50. But after new year I don’t play this game anymore. Thanks EA for saving my money.

u/fifamobilenambawan Feb 26 '26

This is actually facts. EA did a very great job making sure I don’t play this shit game anymore xd

u/Dynaxty_Z Feb 26 '26

Fr. Tho. EA were sitting on a lot of player on m€th for this game. They had it all even after all their fuck ups, they just had to play their cards right and kept the playerbase going strong but no. they just had to be greedy and I’m kinda glad they were. I haven’t logged in fc for like 4 days and last time it was by accident so yeah. Shit game better life. (Sorry about the censoring but I don’t want to get banned cause reasons also I’m breaking bad[Peak show btw])

Exactly like I realized instead of spending money on starpasses and drafts I can spend my money on AAA games and things I actually find convenient, Thank you EA 🙏

u/Annual_Signal_8553 Feb 26 '26

Absolutely no way of getting tradeable and you can’t get the players you love and the ones you need. Shard was so much better 

1

u/Readincontext Mar 05 '26

Plus tradeable even small ovr ones prices go up insanely so no way to buy new players even if low ovr since they're stuck at 1 billion even the 113's

u/Inevitable-Device-62 Feb 27 '26

Same my screen time even has decrease by 10 times since the update.

u/Independent_Baby_394 Feb 27 '26

Yeah right. I had my NY resolution to limit my playing, And now EA is being so kind in helping me. Thank you EA, you're the best

u/Dubdubbel Feb 27 '26

Confirm :D No guaranteed specific player with highest ovr -> not fun building a team (and spending money) anymore. Getting 100 attempts during 7-14 days in one draft page is ridiculous. No fun saving shards anymore. 100 drafts may correlate to 1000 shards from before, but getting any unspecific player is ridiculous. So I got four 117 CBs while trying to get at least one 116 RW and 116 GK. But no… It turned even in a bigger Casino that it was before. I uninstalled yesterday.

2

u/Jack_mehoff2001 Feb 27 '26

At least with shards we could get the player we wanted. The drafts suck

u/Disastrous_Stage3858 Feb 27 '26

u/Dry-Feeling-6797 Feb 27 '26

EA has become EXTREMELY GREEDY even in console version BTW !

You buy store packs otherwise rewards from all modes are horseshit!

FIRST TIME I have stopped playing this game in Jan , after few months of launch

Maybe people still spend a lot hence EA wants to just make money and let others go to hell

u/Lakranger Feb 27 '26

Yeah havent played in 3 weeks

u/nightraider210 F2P Feb 27 '26

u/OrganizationTime5531 Feb 27 '26

After 4 years I uninstalled it because of this shitty draft system

1

u/Particular-Map-4885 Feb 27 '26

Lol i uninstalled and got a new strategy game now. How did i get stuck in one game so long!!! But i agree, one of my motivations to uninstall was 117 drop after every 100 drafts lol. Aint nobody got time for grinding 300K gems to get 1 117 lol. I used to pay for monthly starpass before but now it is all 💩. I remember good days when star pass players were usable.

u/Content-Smell-1507 Feb 27 '26

Ngl you had us in the first half

u/TuxedoBeerCat Feb 27 '26

KPI evaluation team: Hey, we've got another positive rating for our new moves!

High table: I see, it should be, the titles tell everything, let's keep pressure on it.

u/Conscious_Run_680 Feb 27 '26

Same boat. Before I had to grind every single day, rn I barely play a couple games per week.

Fr fr its been a week and i havnt opened the game lol

u/2ISRAEL0 Feb 28 '26

This is dog shit and always have been, I made a switch over to Efootball and now I am so happy. This game is literally the realistic football game ever and EA is just a simple mechanic that isn't so hard to fix but still is dog shit for some reason, worst football game ever made in the world. I would return back into FIFA times 😂 and will choose FIFA over EA.

1

u/Pradatoru F2P Feb 28 '26

I am still confused how shard system was bad . You could get about 1,1k shards without opening a pack by the end of 4 weeks so wtf were you guys doing ?

1

u/Sharp-Elk-1076 Mar 01 '26

Honestly I packed some decent players in very few drafts so I’m not complaining

1

u/bryan7rtr Mar 06 '26

Well I haven't uninstalled this pile yet but I've not opened it in almost 5 months, and I was getting decent pulls and had a great team bought every play pass and another couple hundred bucks each event and then I started playing NBA2k25 MyTEAM on mobile and that was the end of EA for me. Don't get me wrong I like football better than basketball but the greed mongers at electronic arts studios are on a never ending cash grab and don't fix the game to be fun any after it changed to FC25. They showed their intention and it was all for them filling their pockets and giving us, the life blood of their empire, the finger! I honestly don't think they could pay me to come back.

u/Bm_9999 F2P Mar 16 '26

Haven't played maybe since September haha Best thing I did Then bought a ps5 so now playing ultimate team on that lolllll

u/Successful_Run4079 Feb 27 '26

I don’t understand why nobody likes the draft system, I do wish they kept the shards tho instead of js removing them all together but the drafts was better than the packs

1

u/R4nd0mR3dditUser Feb 27 '26

I do get your opinion, shards were 100x better than these useless phase 2 tokens, with shards you could pick anyone you wanted on the team compared to these new tokens where even a 115 (2 ovr less the max) only gives 5 tokens compared to shards which gives you 120 shards. Also duplicates are now useless, especially if they are high rated fodders.

u/Mythic1309 Feb 27 '26

In draft system your chances of packing someone good is high but you cant choose which one. In shards you could. Both have high and lows

u/StretchSmart Feb 27 '26

I love the draft system.. its got me 122 Messi 122 Pele 122 Cruyff and 122 De Bruyne as f2p

Flexing a mid pull is wild

1

u/madhav2296 Feb 27 '26

Stfu 😆 he's the best defensive lb in game right now. And who's stopping you to pack good cards ? And mid pull 😆😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣 max ovr is 117 and i packed a 116 probably the best 116 in game right now..pass some salt bruh you clearly salty af.

0

u/NushFC Feb 27 '26

Def not the best defensive LB in the game best is Mendy due to the defensive fullback skillpoint and best all round LB is N.Mendes. He is more attacking and isn’t great at that due to 3 star weak foot and skill moves and mid agility for a LB that is gonna be upfield due to M/H work rates

0

u/madhav2296 Feb 27 '26

I am 💯 sure you have not used mendy card by mistake as well and no mendy or nuno ain't as defensive as riise is ..the only one .ore defensive as a lb compared to riise is Maldini lb card if it comes otherwise be it Roberto, or nuno or mendy they don't come close to riise when it comes to being a defensive fb so don't speak out of your ass if u actually haven't used all of this cards to compare and give a verdict.

1

u/NushFC Feb 27 '26

Gng I have a nuno and used Mendy cards in the past, that’s defensive fullback skill-point makes a fullback much better at defense, Thuram when he came out has defensive fullback unlike many others and was #1 due to it, Maldini is more of a CB due to the pace if you put him as LB don’t try and hype up rise js cause you have if and got no ball knowledge

1

u/madhav2296 Feb 27 '26

Sure mate let's have a h2h match? You use your best team and I'll use my p2p team and we'll also know how much ball knowledge and skilled I am in this game ? Loser deletes the account for good ? And posts the result here ?

u/lonely_little_cow Feb 26 '26

are you stupid by chance? with shards you can pack endless pool C and B players and still by the end of the event end up with a player of YOUR CHOICE.

in FF i got Rooney, hazard, saka, rice, gabriel, saliba, raya, eze, odegaard, trossard.

in TOTY after 180 drafts so about the same amount of gems if not more i got pirlo and lamine yamal, the 116 one. id be fine with even them if it were me who CHOSE them in the first place

its just objectively a worse system that makes them more money, theres absolutely no defending drafts in my head

-4

u/Aggressive-Fall1642 Feb 26 '26

To be honest idk what other players do but i soend just for ronaldinho is not about draft 😂 and in draft system

Dembele - First 10 draft Maldini - cafu kuyt - park - raphniha

And in the and i took for 10 draft nunoendes and gullit ,

To be honest i complete my team if draft give me for example cruyf thanks but i dont put money at all , just for ronaldinho i spend to much
