Anyone else really disappointed with these Christmas SBCs?

dopetothemax · December 18, 2016 12:12AM

Half of the players already have an IF that's the same or better than the SBC being offered. The requirements are pretty steep unless you have millions of coins or a stacked club. I mean, 4 IFs for Fekir? The card looks really good but for only 84 rated you need 4 IFs and an 85 rated squad. The cheapest gold IFs are around 20k and those are the low rated ones. You have to spend at least 100k on the squad. That seems like too much to me. I get that there's a balance and you don't want every player in the game to have these great cards, but an 84 Fekir or De Marcos is hardly a game breaking thing. Why not make the requirements a little easier?

Defoe, enough said.

hoban95 · December 18, 2016 12:16AM

Yeah, the Defoe one is so stupid. His IF is already cheap anyways and it looks better than the SBC. Did EA just put out a bunch of SBCs for FUTmas that they know nobody will do just to be able to say they did SOMETHING?

Better than last year.....

To avoid market drops on regular 83/84/85 players. More expensive prices = more packs sold = $$$ for ea.

Just seems abit OTT with the If's and ratings, Nothing wrong with the cards

illinifan · December 18, 2016 12:33AM

The squad rating required shouldn't exceed the player's rating imo

Olleman · December 18, 2016 12:40AM

just played SBC Defo and he was insane. Best shot I have ever seen on a player

Agreed. I'd like to see some team related SBCs. That or extend it to some bronze and silvers. Making every player require 84s, 85s and 5 IFs is just going to make the last players ridiculously expensive.

It needs a bit of balance. Generally I think these SBCs have been a great idea, but can we make them a bit more accessible please?

Yep the cards are fine. The requirements are a different matter.

jenksiee123 · December 18, 2016 12:52AM

Don't get why they've just stopped making Movember cards a requirement as well

CPFC16 · December 18, 2016 12:53AM

I feel you I can't be disappointed seen as it's something new. I know they may cost a lot and what not, and the player may not tickle your fancy but you have to remember these cards are out for 24 hours. Come the end of the year these will be the rarest cards in the game, and you will feel like a legend having them. The SBC Gaspar, Payet and Douglas Costa are all pretty rare and they were out for a good while, but when I come up against one I think that's pretty cool wish I had of done that. Despite this I don't like the whole let's give him the same rating as his IF with stats all messed around idea. (Defoe, Benteke, Auba, Ruffier, Hamsik)

Bluebirds87 · December 18, 2016 12:54AM

Tbf the Defoe one is quite accessible. There were informs readily available for 15k 1 hour before release

Or TOTGS and OTW. Should simply be "special card".

Yep. Don't get why WL rewards don't count either because those cards were IFs in the first place lmao.

They're just coin draining exercises imo. Once you've spent a few hundred thousand acquiring a player you can't sell on, you'll need to open packs to replenish your coin total. Quite smart really.

This. Couldn't care less about this sbcs. Genius by EA tough. More money in.

Kloral · December 18, 2016 2:06AM

Agreed, they cost far to much for minimal upgrades.

jdros · December 18, 2016 2:21AM

If you don't like the cards, don't get them. I haven't done any this year that were just a card with no packs attached, but I've done most of the other ones because there is value there. Even if the pack sucks, there is a good chance someone from that pack will become valuable because of an SBC at some point.

There is only one player that I think might get one of these who I might spend the cards to do. In the meantime, it was nice to shed myself of some IFs at a significant profit.

xxMachintoshaxx · December 18, 2016 2:31AM

De Marcos is amazing. Go for it.

You guys will cry about anything, even when EA is trying to give us more content and keep the game fresh

Anyone else really disappointed with these Christmas SBCs?
