I think they seriously miscalculated this one with the current game state. HL and FFS i could kinda grin and bear it or ignore it.
The main problem i have other than the ones excellently already expressed in this thread is that it is becoming quite clear it is impossible to build your ultimate team. Which is the premise of the mode. EA has expertly handled the market to their advantage to the point where premium player prices arent going down and crashes dont really happen. Toty prices keep going up. And then ffs and hl come along and now prime prime icons.
Your ultimate team just keeps becoming further away and not really obtainable without silly amounts of time or money and imo that will turn people away. The game is ridiculous and the gameplay is often worse than that.

Currently sat on 1.5 million and can’t afford any top icons.
Tbh i cant afford icons so i dont really care however, i do feel for those who have done the “supposed” prime icon snc’s kinda of a slap in the face from EA.
I have done the Prime Best on the understating I was getting his best possible card, however this is now not the case therefore I’ve been misguided along with many others.
I now don’t have the “Prime Version of that card” as it’s no longer the best version. I now don’t have what I paid for, this is now false advertising as I was told I was getting Prime Best when that’s clearly not the case.
as a prime best owner, don't even care that there is a card with a couple of better stats (dynamic image annoys me tho ngl!!) but this is such a desperate and snaky move from EA, it fits them all too well, it's scary.
not it won't happen but if you let prime owners submit into an sbc +100-300k whatever to upgrade to these, I might forgive them

The only fair way, yes at an added cost but you get a few extra stats and a dynamic picture.
However this still doesn’t make it okay but at least shows they are willing to give them people the option and a way to obtain the new prime since the prime they have is no longer a prime.
I'm never spending a $ on FP again, and I recommend you all start to do the same.
I'm going to start my campaign to accelerate the banning of FP in other countries soon I think, just need someone with some basic video editing experience.
When EA see what hit them in the coming months it will be hilarious, absolute joke.
The fact what I'm doing hasn't been done or gained some momentum before is a bit shocking to me, but if you want to DM me with a discord ID or somewhere where EA can't see for details, I'll let you in early @Futfanatic
I have no clue what you’re talking about @sonnyfilth but please don’t get my thread closed! Keep it light.

I’m guessing the only part you can use your prime Best for if there is an sbc is the exchange an icon bit, like everyone else...
Exclusive on the most exclusive. There was an episode of Modern family where Jay wanted to get in the most exclusive VIP hotel in Vegas only to figure out that entering was just the beginner level of exclusiveness.
You know EA will do fantastically out of the promo though. The regular player doesn't see all of this, they just see the advert in game and then get excited
I don't know what people are moaning about. It's not like 50% of the community will pack them. And I don't understand people who are complaining about the ones who did Icon SBC's being cheated. Does your beatufull Icons take -10 hit in stats after this promo? You have coins - you do SBC - you get very nice card. Probably 95% of the people can only dream about being able to afford one Icon during whole year.
Beyond a joke for me. EA don’t care about their fan base they only care for the millions of dollars people will now spend on packs.
There’s now way to many promotional events or players or SBC’s. The old FIFA’s it was a challenge to have IF, MOTM, TOTY/S players where as now everyone you play against has a rainbow team with Flashback, Future Stars, OTW, these crap one step ahead cards, SBC EOAE cards etc

Same here.
Just that I’ll be gutted if I did Best Prime which just expired a few days ago.

Will be eagerly waiting for prime prime prime icon next time!

I hope you're getting all this feedback.
Dark days are ahead for EA, no more Fifa Points, just trying to milk people as much as possible
Dark days for EA mean good days for us.

Won’t happen because that beats the purpose of people using the “regular” primes

Someone on here posted a mock up of a fut alternative universe stars promo recently. 50/50 whether that comes.
On another note, if they are going to keep releasing cards like this they need more ways to make money in game
