Contracts we’re removed from most ‘ultimate team’ games for a reason. No one likes them. They drive players away from playing the game, as they stop users from using their favourite players. Why should I, as a player, have to resort to using 60 overall bronze players when playing an offline game, when my best/favourite players are in my inventory too. I play Pro Team to use my favourite players, not to grind offline modes using bronze players. Though EA FC’S ‘Ultimate Team’ does have contracts, they are insanely easy to obtain, with even the worst contracts lasting days/weeks. Big Ant, please, either remove contracts from the game, or make them way easier to obtain, they really take out the fun of the game and are pushing me away from playing Pro Team any more.

Well then this is personal preference… and I (along with others) would prefer Contracts to stay in there… but I understand your point on playing as your favourite players.

Also @JNT_BA

I’ve noticed on prem challenge… every game result is wrong. Say I win a match 100-50 for example… the result on the main screen and on the post match screen shows it as 50 to me - 100 to opponent. But still says I won.

Also noticed that 9/10 times the scores aren’t accurate to what was actually scored, especially in the event the opponent quits early. Surely there’s a fix coming for this?

I get it may not be priority 1 as it’s not really impacting the game rather just looks strange in stats.

If they don’t remove contracts, im fine with that, but Big Ant need to realise the lack of contracts which are rewarded and obtainable, as well as the length of most of the contracts. They are too hard to obtain and don’t last long enough. I believe its a win-win, if they increase the volume of contracts (without removing them), as it pleases the part of the community which despises contracts, by making them less prominent, as well pleasing the community which likes contracts, by keeping them in the game.

The contracts are fine. Could there be more contracts available. Certainly. I’ve been slandering big ant for 2 years. But this mode has been public for 4 days. They can add things to it at any time

Honestly though, this mode has a lot of potential, its not perfect but I remember the days of Madden, Fifa and 2K still sorting out the kinks in their modes, BA will learn and improve it, we just gotta be patient and maybe use some bronze and silvers every now and then

I don’t hate the concept of contracts, but its just the lack of them available which annoys me. Apart from the contracts, I really do believe Big Ant did a great job with Pro Team. Small improvements here and there, new cards added weekly or fortnightly, and we’ve got an amazing game on our hands.

Anyone know if the pack opening animation means anything at all? Tryna see if like a colour shown in the animation has relation to a player you pack, similar to fifa.

@JNT_BA another idea you could pitch which I reckon would be awesome. Lengthen the pack opening animation and add things to show special stats about the top player you pack, as a way to hype up who you get. For example show what position the player plays in, then show year drafted, then club, then rating and finally show the actual player card. Pretty much exactly as fifa does it!

There is a perfectly quick and easy way to build your so called ultimate team.

You just want to have it free, fast and easy that’s all. There’s plenty of people who don’t want to fork out money (me included) that accept it will be an absolute grind, where you have to be patient, make thought out decisions, play lots of games, play at a different level and perhaps cop some whacks with packs along the way to make it work.

There’s so many contradictions in what you’re saying. No one is forcing you to do anything - there are plenty of contracts if you’re prepared to pay to open packs, like you said you were.

I’ve not spent a cent myself so far and have plenty of them sitting there waiting to use, as do others on this very forum.

Day 3 and you’re complaining about something that is very random across the user experience is nuts. Let the dust settle, be creative and see what shakes out over a longer period.

Instead of picking 4 players in a pack trying picking 2 players and 2 contracts each time to build them up.

there are plenty of ways to build up contracts,.

Grinding is part of these modes, handing everyone all the best players on a silver platter seems rather pointless.

Maybe a contract solution could be that contracts earnt / applied, apply to all players?

or do contracts for all forwards, contracts for all mids, contracts for all defenders?

I’m personally ok with it as is because I know to manage the playing list for different modes.

But wouldn’t be fussed if they went either or got adjusted.

I fumbled tf out of this game but what a comeback! Had to kick a bomb from 55 out with serong with 5 seconds left to get the winning goal but got a point and lost.

I thought contracts were a massive issue at first too, but I learnt how to manage my team better, using silvers and golds for offline to gain rewards to then use on packs for contracts and then playing a few games of Premiership ladder and then repeat the process.
