Fifa no longer for the casual gamer?
As the title
More than any other edition in the last few years, everything feels like a grind
Thoughts ?

It's like okay, I must quality for Fut champs,I must get 8 wins for max reward in rivals, I must get some rank in squad battles (I usually get points by completing some objectives), I must play 20 games of fut champs, I must do token swaps lol
It's crazy, imagine if we would also have daily and weekly knockout tournaments like back in the day (I actually would love it to be back)
So yeah, it's a freaking grind, unless you have lots of money to spend, then just open pack and get crazy team
I wonder how many people use eBay to get things done?
Its not exactly Sifu, or Shin Megami Tensai V is it?
In the first game in this mode, he had a few silver and bronze players in the team and the opponent 3 icons, CR7, Mbappe, and some other top players.
It depends what you consider casual.
I'd say having CR7 doesn't define casual or not. I'd say casual gaming is barely putting effort into the game while still being able to play at a decent level. Which is simply impossible nowadays.
If you build a team and leave it be for a month and when you return it will lost a significant amount of its value and you are way behind the curve. You have to play every week and keep trading to be able to keep up with the power curve.
Which was different back in the day but more expensive players were harder to acquire. But this is not new. Pretty much ever since they started doing these promo's and WL the casual days were gone.
I’ll put this to the test this week as I haven’t been able to play for 3 weeks…but now I can afford Rudiger, lol.
This yeh. With all the content there's no need to do everything ingame. Everyone that played a bit games here and there have 3 heroes, 1 icon and top tier players in November..
You can start a new account and have 160k within a few hours and buy Ronaldo.
That is casual as hell.
Casuals will hate this game, it's vastly different from a day to day basis.
We must be playing different game pal
The sweat is dripping with this years edition
This for me
Oh, those extenction times! Had to snipe all good cards 😬
I feel like most modes are sweaty when compared to 22 or 21
Unpopular opinion, but I personally feel 19 was better than this 😬
I originally wanted to get 20 tokens to get the 3 x 84 x 20 packs, but just will not have the time.
It is all Fear of missing out..
To me “casual” is just that - someone who only plays now and then and doesn’t take the game too seriously. In the current FUT landscape, that’s no longer possible because you will get left behind.
It used to be the case where if you picked up the game a month late, you still had a chance to catch up by playing SB and DR for a week, and doing the Advanced SBC’s. Now, with EA making coin rewards negligible, making most packs untradeable and lowering pack weights to oblivion, how exactly is someone supposed to afford these “cheap” meta players that get surpassed the second the next promo comes out?
I mean, I play fairly religiously and still get nothing for my efforts. A “casual” will take one look at the super teams in D8 and D9 and decide it’s just not worth the effort.
Those who have plenty of time to play benefit from it, as it should be, after all it's a game.
With all the rewards, I'm glad I don't have to touch my wallet. (especially if you measure profit per pack)
If you build a competitive team for less than a 500k-1M, 95% of the time, you will not lose a game because of the players.
Squad Battles: No
Division Rivals: No, from this season. Not worth the time at all. I don't have as much time to compete for the best as last year (1% of Elite) so I would just stop altogether. DR is very unrewarding if you don't have the mentality to compete for the best.
FUT Champs: Yes, every single week. I don't care about other people's opinion. This is still my favorite mode.
Friendlies: Only for World Cup swaps to earn 20 for 84x20x3.
Overall, the biggest change is that I have no motivation to play Obj/SB/DR this year. They seem so tedious and unrewarding. Some people need to understand while you don't play for rewards, other people also don't want to play for nothing which happens 9 out of 10 times from these terrible modes.
I think FOMO is what people think means casuals are left out.. But as a casual i don't really give AF about the new promo stuff and happily play a few games a week and still don't feel like im left behind..
If you are up in the upper divisions its a bit different but i don't think many peoples definition of a casual will be up in div 2 etc.
I personally will not be competing in the WL any longer. Its frustratingly toxic on those games and the rewards really aren't worth the effort.
Objectives, division rivals and Squad battles is where I will devote my time.
Funny that the only mode you didn't play is the mode I play only.
You'll have to put in many hours before you reach that. You'll have to advance in rivals which is hard for the casual player as they will struggle with a poor team and you'll have to play WL. I fail to see how this can be considered casual.
Besides that, being casual means to me that you can pick up the game whenever, enjoy it and be relatively competitive. If you dont sell your players and dont play a few weeks then you'll fall behind the powercurve making it even harder to win games. Only way to keep up with that is playing enough rivals/wl or keep trading.
Having a CR7 doesn't change anything other then that your CR7 was worth 500k 3 weeks ago and now barely 160k. Which kinda proves my point of having to stay in touch with this game
Nowadays we have 20 games where even 9 or 11 gets you decent rewards.
Rivals used to be unlimited games and rank was based on how many points you got, so you had to play a ton of games if you want the best rewards.
With this new format, you only need 8 wins over the course of a week and you’re not affected by how many games others play.
You also don’t have to do every objective, most of them are pointless anyway, unless it’s for swaps.
If you define a casual as someone who doesn’t get a lot of time to play, then this game is more casual friendly than ever.
Than surely the other modes on fifa are more suited to players that picks up the game whenever to enjoy it. I don't understand why everyone feels pressured to do everything it's never been cheaper or easier to get a decent team, take a few months off and you'd catch up in no time.
I'd say because of divisions then FIFA is still casual friendly. Your ability and team will get you in a division you can compete in.
It may not be elite ranks but you can still knock it on have a bit fun and then turn it off for a few days.
