Has the community decided not to do golden goal anymore?

I know some people do not do it and that's fine but I thought the majority of people did? Probably 80% of my games haven't been GG.

People are only leaving after going 2 or 3 down. I've played 3 ET's (was done with wins but needed more goals so I didn't leave and carried on playing). Like seriously, most people would've won 2 or 3 in the time it took to complete that whole game. I just don't understand the logic of people wanting to grind an extra hour or 2 for a token. Only thing that makes sense is if you love playing this mode so much oO

    It’s because you need to score 10 goals, not everyone realises quitting and just going for golden goal is quicker. Others just want to play with untradeables they wouldn’t normally use.

    Are you pausing after you score the first goal? or are you waiting for your opponent to leave?
  • One nation yes. But dont the one leagues need 10 games with goals but only 6 wins. So that's 4 games you have the play till end even with golden goal. Plus casuals may only play this mode.

    I find a lot of people are playing "golden goal unless I can get a quick goal back in which case I'll play on, but if I can't then I'll leave"

    Honestly it's so annoying - happens way more when your team is way worse then theirs so they carry on. Either do it or don't, so many people cherry picking when to leave. If done right you can easily hit a token in under 35/40 mins but people want to play a full 10 min+ game...

    No - I do not pause for them and I skip my celebrations. I just want to crack on and move on to the next so I don't taunt my opponent

    Exactly that, like they think they deserve a goal back cos of their better team haha.
    I'm not saying anyone has to play golden goal obviously, but it's so much easier isn't it, don't need some gimps just trying to make life more difficult haha

    It's still way quicker to leave and move on to the next then to score a goal towards an objective and play out the fullgame. But I guess a lot of people aren't thinking it through or want to take the longest way possible. I rubber banded 1 game and the guy kept scoring when I was afk and made the game like 5 mins longer lol

    You can play 30 golden goal games to the 10 regular games so no reason to not do golden goal.

    I had a worse team and was down 2-0..I got the win last min 3-2..guy kept playing after 2-2 so he was cool ..the prob with golden goal is if your team sucks you have way less of a chance and if you do score first goal ppl dont quit because they know its possible to catch up.. I rather play full games..if I score first and they quit bonus for me.

    Sorry mate, I don’t wanna spend my whole life playing grinding a token on fifa, I just wanna get them as quick as possible. If you or anyone else have nothing better to do with your time and want to grind for hours longer than you need to then more power to you

    You can't dictate if someone will leave, some do some don't, had a moron have a go because I didn't then he tried to say its all over tiktok. I don't do Tiktok, didn't know so didn't care. If you are bent out of shape because someone doesn't play to your made up rules then please little 2 minute Timmy take your ball and go play with someone else. The rules aren't a written and you can always go find someone who will do it.

    I've only let 1 win on golden goal. The others have paused, so nope. Have won 1-0 most of the games. Beat a guy 9-2, I scored first 😑

    If you read my 1st post I said I know some people don’t do it so that’s fine. It’s just before it was like 90-95% doing it and today it felt like it’s the opposite with only 10-20% people doing GG.

    Still don’t get why you want to spend extra time grinding for a token. Grind DR for skills rating or Weekend league for wins.

    Do the math, if no one did golden goal you would have to play a minimum of 10 games to hit certain objectives so that’s already over an hour and a half considering you hit a perfect record. 6 wins out of 10 is doable but for the average casual player it most likely will take a little more than 10 games so it would take even longer. You are adding hours to your gameplay for a token.

    I managed to do the laliga token in under 40 minutes because everyone was doing GG. If I played all games out, it would be a MINIMUM of 90 mins for a token considering everything went perfectly. I could’ve 2 whole tokens in that time..
  • I was playing earlier and went 2-0 up. The guy played on both times and I don’t mind that at all. It’s your prerogative. However, he did manage to get to 2-2 but then quit. What’s the point in that? Just trying to wind people up.

    I've been doing it all day with no problem

    Probably two games where they didn't quit, but I left after they equalised

    If you pause or celebrate, I'll let you quit but don't expect me too. If you don't like that, too bad. I'll take my 325 coins B)

    you need more goals/assists than wins. so many people will do the whole game. it may not be the most time saving method, but definitely stress free.

    opponent can't see the squad name. you need to change the club name to do that.

    They see the squad name when they see your squad. Same as you see their squad name when you see their squad

    Interesting....didnt happen once and 75% were quits against me.
  • I don’t understand... just play the game, some will do golden goal and some won’t. Expecting or asking is just dumb.

    Main problem is that some people get the 1-0 wins, but don't contribute.
