If EA have made futties this shit, they must be raking in pre-order sales
I think it's unanimous across the community that this futties has been absolutely abysmal, especially in comparison to last year's where they were dishing out 99s for everyone. The content feels super lazy - decent player SBCs are few and far between, pack weight is in the gutter and the token store rewards have been super mid too. You'd expect them to pull out all the stops to entice people into pre-ordering, but the fact they haven't probably points to the fact that a massive amount already have. It's quite depressing really. This edition has been largely forgettable, the WC promo was bang average compared to the previous Euro/Copa America one in 24 but it clearly doesn't matter because their profits are evidently stronger than ever and this includes early orders. As a self-confessed grind lover (can do it to kill time when work is boring) this forthcoming iteration is the first time I'm not getting ultimate edition. I know EVERYONE is saying this, and I honestly think it's bullshit when I've read it in the past for the most part but it's genuinely true in my case. It's been a sad, continuous demise and a mega shame that they haven't got any true competition to whip EA into shape
