How would you save FIFA Ultimate Team?

It's pretty clear the franchise is dying. So how would you fix it?

Game just needs to have stable serves that allows more than 1000 people on at a time. Once the disconnects go along with having the same gameplay every match then it's fine to start looking at content imo.

Get rid of Fifa points

More focus on putting out a quality game, less focus on packs

A lot. Improve servers to avoid inconsistent gameplay. Get rid of the countless annoying glitches/errors in gameplay like when you pass a ball and he does a tackle animation, same goes for when you're trying to shoot on goal or clear a ball.

And that's just a small example gameplay wise.

Furthermore, they don't see the competitive scene as a honest way to compete, but as a way to tempt people to spend more to be able to compete. It's not even close to esport ready. I love the Weekend League and being able to improve my results so having some sort of competitive element is great. The fact that you're completely depending on the servers to enjoy it, is horrific.

I really hope the server improvements they promised actually work for once.
Also, an enormous increase in developers would probably be helpful. I think the whole developers team is working on FIFA 20 by now, so they don't have time to tackle the countless errors FIFA 19 still has. So there should be an increase in manpower to be dedicated to FIFA 19.

About Fifa Points, don't know if a complete removal would be the answer. It could remove a large part of the player base who don't have the time to spend hours and hours on trading or playing the game to get the best squad. For them to not have an alternative solution to still get a nice team would probably scare them away.

EA should just be less greedy and make more funds available to improve the game, instead of paying the board their huge bonusses.

But that's never going to happen, so it's all just an utopia.

TL;DR: It will never be fixed.

It’s about balance. Put some of the money they make in to making the game smoother. Getting rid of Fifa points would make it much worse imo.

Needs a new engine this one is so outdated & covered in plasters

with stuff left behind that’s no longer used like the arena in the background playing away constantly

No more focus on e-sports

Competitive Fifa shouldn't be Fut mode. There's should just be a normal version like seasons where the competitive scene is at.

Esports, fut champs etc just killed fut imo.

The gameplay has always had some op feature, but going back to the fut 13 days, that's where I had the most fun. Everything is just too rewards based now!

I'd save it but then fumble it onto the post then get tangled up like mating frogs with 3 defenders and score an own goal

Fire all content creators

A decent community manager that let us know what was going on would help,plus Set dates set out at the start of Fifa with upcoming events/promo's
And Icon SBC's all being released from day 1

they have put themselves into a terrible spot now, if they reduce the amount of promos people will cry, if they increase them people will say they are just money grabbing.

the sheer amount of high rated cards this year compared to previous iterations of the game is unbelievable.

god help anyone trying to get into the game at this stage
