Day 4.....The Shocking Truth!!!

Evening guys,

So my last post promised what the ramifications would be if attributes didn't matter in FUT so let's delve into this a little deeper.

Let's start with a player who wants to improve his team, the player is winning most matches but on the last couple of matches his side against a few opponents have felt sluggish (or at least it seems this way) so what does he do? he goes and spends his coins on a few players he thinks will improve his squad, it doesn't.

He has now started to lose a few matches more than he used to and his coins are in short supply, his team isn't worth alot so what options does this particular FIFA player have? keep playing and lose more often than not and save up the coins? maybe but who likes losing? so what decision am i really pushing this player towards?

The player holds strong after playing a few match's and thinks any player that's going to make a difference is ridiculously expensive so let's take the action of pot luck and opens 7500 coin gold pack, he gets 4 players that run between 75-80 rating worth combined 2000 coins if he sells them or discards them.

So now the player thinks i have no coins, I'm losing quite a bit but let's give this imaginary player an iron will so he plays a few seasons and manages to get together 15000 coins, he then buys 2 more packs and again the same outcome, this player is very frustrated at this point, he wants a better team! he is losing more and more, he is looking at relegation from his division. He has a half decent team but it still feels like its not enough.

He finally gives in and spends £4.25 on FIFA points and opens up a few packs and low and behold he picks up bale for instance, well this decision has made our player think that gold packs are well worth it and with the likes of bale in the team it's given his squad a big boost on the left.

He now thinks, I've got a great player and i wont spend anymore money as my team is strong enough to hold there own and for a couple of seasons this is the case......but it starts to happen again, he starts to lose, its dawned on him i need an amazing team to get to the level i was.

He spends more money and gets a better team but it's making little to no difference on the outcome, he holds possession in most games, has more shots, has the better chances but hits the post alot, sky's the ball, shoots wide a great deal and his defence seem to be all over the place, does this sound familiar?

Well if this story is true does it matter who you have in your squad? well to answer this question i think it does to a very small extent, I'm not saying a team of 49 rated bronze players with a chemistry of 15 could beat a team of the year squad with 100% team chemistry.

So what factors effect matches, who would get the momentum in a match, who would get the advantage? well my personal opinion this would effect the match the most:-

How your doing in your league, so many people have reported winning there first 3-4 games in a FUT season then go on to crumble and miss out on the big bonus by winning the league.

Reason:- The more coins you earn the less you spend on Fifa points = less money for EA.

This brings me to another point, why do EA take a slice of the coins from the players you sell? strange don't you think, well again this falls on the answer above.

I don't think it matters who you have in your team, what matters is your situation at the time. With this being the case the big question is......Are EA breaking the rules of trading standards? your paying for a player with certain stats that don't actually perform, if you buy a product that says it does certain things and you test it out after buying it and it doesn't do what it says it can do? you return it with the receipt right? well why is this situation any different? If stats don't matter and EA admit to momentum (effecting the way your purchased product performs) how much money would they have to give back? the answer is millions, ever wondered why they ban this subject on there forum?

As always if you disagree then please give your point of view and any links to your youtube video's, they will be posted on my next blog.
