Maybe the game was rushed?

After all, it released the same day as RoNC (August 28th). Maybe they wanted to release it on an anniversary, and they couldn't add some features in time? That's all I can think of as to why there's no dream team at all and they replaced it with the preset teams online. They couldn't finish it in time, so they pulled out the teams and said it was for balancing when the preset teams aren't balanced whatsoever.

This little delirium of mine could also explain other features removed or undercooked. No penalty kicks, no multiple CaCs, I'm pretty sure there's no offsides, and that's to name the ones on the top of my head.

After all, they're still announcing the DLC in pairs of players. They're either adding whole new teams with two stars each (which wouldn't make them that good teams to begin with), whole new teams with ONE Star each, or they're adding dream team eventually. Hopefully.

Then again, I thought the Ultimate Edition kits were proof they were adding dream team because it wouldn't make sense to add them if we can't use them. And then Japan got 5 kits to use alone.
