    Lol they ❤️❤️❤️❤️ up again its getting silly
  • I actually thought it had a winterwild card in it? Must have been my reading skills. It had one of the swap cards in it. 95k for a pack like that seems a bit steep.

    But it was only 500 FP.
    Very obvious how EA wanted people to buy the pack.

    Same as a rare player pack. 50k or 1,000 FP
    But you got the token and a 83+ TOTW extra.

    Crazy shady way of them getting people to buy FP.

    They should never Ever make us pay for a WW token. Absolutely disgusting! Shame on you EA.

    Seen a few reports of folk getting a <83 rated totw player. I got an 83 so no grounds to complain, but will be interesting to see how ea handle it, will they just give those who got the wrong player another pack or were the odds for everyone who opened a pack wrong, ie was the pool of players much larger than it should’ve been?

    I wonder if those who got the wrong in form were all players who have had more than one inform, so might be they just got the wrong inform of that particular player so ea may just give the correct version of that player to rectify it.

    Edit : just seen you got Bellingham who has only had one inform so that blows that theory.

    Classic drug dealer move give the new player a sampler of a fp deal then once they have them hooked that’s it

    Very interesting as to how they will rectify it

    To be fair, no one ‘made’ you do it. I get the point of the token being in a pack that can be brought with real $, but at the same time you can:

    1. Also buy it with coins (virtual currency only)
    2. Not buy it and still get any of the swap options that are available as none of the options require every single token

    Also, no one held a gun to your head and forced you to do it.

    “OMG a company tried to make some money”.

    Yes I agree if you’re a 30 year old. But a kid just sees a opportunity of 500fp or 95k of hard earned coins. It was just X-mas and a lot of kids just got money. You know this is true and EA knows this aswell. That’s the shady part, not EA trying to make money( don’t worry they do.)

    Looks like Bellingham is the only player <83 that has been pulled. Haven’t seen any reports of a different card so far.

    EA literally compensated before (Ice players for example)

    I think it's required by law or something lmao

    Deulofeu is in the current TOTW (14). It was advertised that it has a guaranteed 83+ from TOTW 1-13. So you might bought the wrong pack or got him additional to a TOTW 1-13.

    Too many mistakes this year…seems like a marketing strategy…one more incentive to open packs for real money whilst EA lose nothing compensating with digital currency…

    Classic ea support. I am curious if they do something about that issue. Would be the first time they are not addressing an event like this in fifa 22

    Last year there was something with the app where you could give yourself unlimited coins and packs,I thought they would lose customers and that they would be fined by somebody. They just simply didn’t say anything like it didn’t happen, and nothing happend. I think EA feel they are a God and they can do whatever they want, when they want and don’t feel they need to adres any of their mistakes.

    82 bellingham or an 83 random totw what diff would it make the value on the market is the same.

    Discard for an inform.

    Just accept the pack you opened

    Well it shows that 34 informs that we’re advertised not to be in packs actually we’re in packs. That’s 34 extra players that should not have been in the mix.

    34 informs that were under 83+?

    No 34 82 informs.
