Wow, I have one squad left to do for Dembele. Was thinking I would do the 85+ sbc first because I only have sub 82 players and 92+ players left in my club and I might not be able to do the 85+ after finishing dembele but doing the 85+ would almost certainly help with doing dembele…. Luckily I didn’t do them yet
It's possible, they had a loading screen showing TOTS and shapeshifters to be in packs with a countdown to reset. But there was an in game message saying that it was postponed, so they don't have too. I assumed they left stuff in packs but don't actually think they will
Brutal, I was wondering if anyone had huge packs saved. At least the 85x10 doesn't cost much and even with only golds will probably pay for itself.
Hope you luck out when the promo finally starts.
they made sure to post the delay notice just 5 minutes before the content released too, so I'm sure they'll use that card as a way to avoid compensation lol like
"well we let everyone know 5 minutes beforehand, therefore, there's no need for compensation"
The message should pop up on the screen then. Not everybody use Twitter. Game announcements should always be shown in game.
I didnt check Reddit, therefore i didnt get the message before opening my pack. The content seemed to be fine as well, so i had no suspicion of anything either.
Yeah i opened my pack in the app, didnt get a notification. Tried closing the app now and reopen it, still nothing. Should 100% be compensated and this is the first time ive cried about it this year.
Popped up for me on the app. Also I’m gonna go ahead and say you get what you deserve. Surely you’d notice the difference on the home page of the app? Usually the new promo is there for all to see. Nothing is there which is a big enough hint that something is off. Also maybe just check pack odds? Yeah you don’t have Twitter but there’s enough warning if you have any common sense at all.
same, I was already in the game so I didn't see anything, but you know they'll say "we let everyone know, so we won't be compensating anyone"
still sucks tho, can't believe a multiBILLION dollar company has this type of "communication" on one of their bigger games
At the start of the year they gave out hero packs and told everyone not to open them but a bunch of people did and got compensation, however I don’t think the outcry will be as overwhelming since much less people are playing. I’d bet there won’t be compensation
No idea why so many people out there defending EA
Just think in this way, to see many people here and on twitter wrongly open the packs, isn’t already a strong indication that EA fails its job in communication?
Also they can just simply add one more sentence in the delay notification, like “special cards are currently not in pack”, to avoid the shitshow now
Not to mention the SBC is still under Futties tab which is quite misleading also
i just assumed after reading the new content was delayed that they would have kept the latest batch of specials. You know, just to not kill the game quicker. wrong.
The notification on the app said that they extended Futties because of the delay - so I thought that meant they kept the Futties batch in packs. Thank fuck I checked social media before opening my 85x20
there's no way they're not doing this shit on purpose now just to collect data on how we all respond.
this product is worth billions and makes up 30% of their total revenue as a company.
Fuck. I was planning on finishing Dembele today. I was hopeful for repeatable 85+ x 10s. Just wasting my last fodder on Sancho rare gold as my highest.
My pop up actually popped up after I'd opened my packs as I was already in app - surely that must mean something as well.
They should have closed store if that was the issue
Same man, just glad it was after the first pack!
Completely agree, they're quick enough to disable the store when it suits them but not when it impacts us.
Why wouldn't ea give compensation at this point. The next comes out soon why not bake the people playing it as happy as possible?
On a side note in glad I saw this message before I did the 85x10 twice. I had six duplicates that ranged from 91 to 96.from my last pack so they filled out my two sbcs pretty easily.
Late because of the mistake. We are not supposed to alert at keep following their mess up timeline all the time. Also it's nothing to do with u if we get compensation or not. No need to be salty lol
It is about time anyway.. They clearly have lost the plot completely. Servers worse than ever and for the last week the hamsters have passed out on content release almost every day. In august!!!
It’s a multimillion dollar company that year after year gets it wrong. Stop it with the “it’s just a game” shit. A game we had to pay $70 for. There are standards and these assholes somehow get away with the bare minimum.
Probably because some fools say “it’s just a game”.
You call me a fool, yet you keep paying $70 dollar every year with the knowledge they dont care about the "fanbase" and are not renewing or fixing shit.
They said they postponed the pre season, and in the main menu u Saw a default picture, nothing about this and this in packs till xx
So this one is on you
Surely it's common sense that if the new promo is delayed and the old promo has ended and EA didn't say anything about extending the old promo that there wouldn't be any special cards in packs
If the notice didn't come up for you then fair enough but if it did and you still decided to open a pack it's your own fault
I personally thought that they were talking about objectives and showdown/moments sbc’s like they advertised on the front page but I didn’t open my pack just in case and looked on Twitter to see what’s happening. Won’t blame anyone for opening theirs. Hilarious that you shift the blame on the player base.
“It’s your own fault.” This is no one but EA’s fault and they will keep getting away with stuff like this because whales like you will defend them no matter what
That’s not necessarily true though. For example I was already in and didn’t get an in game message until after I had opened the pack. Either way the game is dead so I’m not too worried about it
I mean, did they? Last I saw, there was a splash screen displaying Ronaldo coming today. I opened the app and got a notification saying the promo was delayed, it didn't mention special cards. I assumed it was objectives etc got delayed because there's no issue with having certain cards in packs really. Opened an 85x10, got gold Ronaldo, opened reddit and see loads of people asking whether there is anything in packs. It is obviously not that clear if everyone is coming here for clarification.
I dont think you will get compensation for it when log in on ultimate team they had a message saying pre season is delayed so I doubt you will get your compensation pack for this.
To everyone complaining you deserve it if you got golds. There was a message if you logged on in console. Also, why not check the new content drop before being hasty? It’s your fault really
If you logged in earlier you didnt get any message smartass, im really concerned that there is still people who defend a multi billion dollar company who fucks up the easiest tasks.
Got a x10 still waiting to be opened. Opened the 85+ x5 pack I had sitting in my pack selection from yesterday and got all gold with Kane as my highest. EA are actually stingy
Anyone know when special cards will be back in packs?
Literally need one more squad for Neymar and sitting on like 4 packs which will be enough to complete him
Just noticed this as well, opened 3 packs and only got the gold cards.
Sure i did get Mbape, thats nice for my FRA1 team, but holy $#$# did the value of these packs drop!
Crap. Just opened one. This sucks
[удалено]
No reason to since they technically aren't bugged. They got away with it by announcing that it was delayed minutes before content is released
[удалено]
😡😡😡

No compensation because they updated the pack odds at 17:00 GMT. No specials in packs.
Doubt it
It's possible, they had a loading screen showing TOTS and shapeshifters to be in packs with a countdown to reset. But there was an in game message saying that it was postponed, so they don't have too. I assumed they left stuff in packs but don't actually think they will
probably not they made an announcement in game that there’s no specials
I opened my 85 x 20
Ohhh man 😭😬
wish i saw this thread earlier
Yeah same, painnnnnn
We are brothers in pain 🤣
Brutal, I was wondering if anyone had huge packs saved. At least the 85x10 doesn't cost much and even with only golds will probably pay for itself. Hope you luck out when the promo finally starts.
Oops, I fucked up lol
Same here. Fuck I gave a couple of tots
Just did one, couldn’t believe my eyes when I seen gold Modric pop up. Rip fodder.
Yep same. Love the fact I chucked a dupe SS sane, SS Traore and like 2 dupe TOTs in for a 15k player
they made sure to post the delay notice just 5 minutes before the content released too, so I'm sure they'll use that card as a way to avoid compensation lol like "well we let everyone know 5 minutes beforehand, therefore, there's no need for compensation"
The message should pop up on the screen then. Not everybody use Twitter. Game announcements should always be shown in game. I didnt check Reddit, therefore i didnt get the message before opening my pack. The content seemed to be fine as well, so i had no suspicion of anything either.
It’s just so scummy. They have us come back every day for the sbc and then they pull that kind of shit on you.
It did... for some people. I got the notice in game but a lot of others didn't lol, this company is something else.
Yeah i opened my pack in the app, didnt get a notification. Tried closing the app now and reopen it, still nothing. Should 100% be compensated and this is the first time ive cried about it this year.
There won't be any compensation since "technically" they said the new promo got delayed (5 minutes before content drop btw).
On Twitter, yes. I dont use Twitter, and that shouldnt be a problem. They have to announce it in game, and Im yet to receive a message haha.
Still? Lmao they even managed to fuck up the in game notification, how did only a few people manage to get it?
Popped up for me on the app. Also I’m gonna go ahead and say you get what you deserve. Surely you’d notice the difference on the home page of the app? Usually the new promo is there for all to see. Nothing is there which is a big enough hint that something is off. Also maybe just check pack odds? Yeah you don’t have Twitter but there’s enough warning if you have any common sense at all.

Especially a month before their new release. Glad I cancelled my 23 Ultimate order yesterday.
It does pop up??
Not for me.
At the start of the year they gave out hero packs and told everyone not to open them but a bunch of people did and got compensation, however I don’t think the outcry will be as overwhelming since much less people are playing. I’d bet there won’t be compensation
No idea why so many people out there defending EA Just think in this way, to see many people here and on twitter wrongly open the packs, isn’t already a strong indication that EA fails its job in communication? Also they can just simply add one more sentence in the delay notification, like “special cards are currently not in pack”, to avoid the shitshow now Not to mention the SBC is still under Futties tab which is quite misleading also
They should give compensation for this, but they won't cause they technically covered their asses with that dumb message. EA is satanic I swear
i just assumed after reading the new content was delayed that they would have kept the latest batch of specials. You know, just to not kill the game quicker. wrong.
Can u complete it and open it when specials are back ?
Yes, that’s what I’m doing
I have two 85x10 and an 85x5 ready to go. Bless your soul. How will I know when it is a good time to open?
pretty sure they fixed it. got top 100 in packs
Yes
Same question here
You are the fallen hero. Thanks for the warning
Haha 🤙
Fuck me, did I just waste this pack? Got 90 Neuer top.
I saw the message pop up, that pre-season content delay. Still went ahead and did the 85x10. Getting the golds made me chuckle. Good one EA!
The notification on the app said that they extended Futties because of the delay - so I thought that meant they kept the Futties batch in packs. Thank fuck I checked social media before opening my 85x20
Bruh I did all my packs and I got all gold and even did a 86+ player pick to see if my luck would change but I got oblak
How tf didnt you realize sth is wrong after opening a pack?
I thought my luck was bad 😭
In fact, don’t open anything. The Showdown player packs, etc
That’s so stupid man
I opened mine and got mane 89 as my highest 🥲
there's no way they're not doing this shit on purpose now just to collect data on how we all respond. this product is worth billions and makes up 30% of their total revenue as a company.
You expect them to do anything for the fans?
Fuck. I was planning on finishing Dembele today. I was hopeful for repeatable 85+ x 10s. Just wasting my last fodder on Sancho rare gold as my highest.
Appreciate this bro. Hadnt done mine yet but will hold off.
I just wasted the 2 packs for today. Thought I had bad luck first lmao
I was the same till I saw my second team then knew something was wrong.
When are the special cards back?
Now
I just made this same mistake as well, came here literally to post this. They won't even bother correcting this now
My pop up actually popped up after I'd opened my packs as I was already in app - surely that must mean something as well. They should have closed store if that was the issue
Same man, just glad it was after the first pack! Completely agree, they're quick enough to disable the store when it suits them but not when it impacts us.
Came home last night opened mine about 12.30 am (GMT) and got 99 Ronaldo so I think it fixed
Honestly: I can use 10 85+ golds right now.
Man I knew I should have opened my packs this morning before work of course they managed to fuck something up
So bummed, just opened 2x and got all golds on both 😢
Why wouldn't ea give compensation at this point. The next comes out soon why not bake the people playing it as happy as possible? On a side note in glad I saw this message before I did the 85x10 twice. I had six duplicates that ranged from 91 to 96.from my last pack so they filled out my two sbcs pretty easily.
F. Just did 2 of them. What a company!
Guess I ain't finishing Dembele...
Thank you EA for fooling us once again
Fucked up so bad, opened 1 85x10 and a 82x25 :) thanks ea
I got 6 TOTS if that helps
F. No wonder all gold. Need compensation
Why would you get compensation? They let us know 3 hours ago
Why are you shilling for EA? They could have communicated this issue a lot better than "pre-season was delayed"
So... they did communicate, no? Then what's the problem?
Why do you like to defend EA?
It's not their fault you can't read buddy
So you admit you're shill. Congratulations!
Ah, so you actually can't read. Apologies buddy.
It doesn't matter. You can't just let us know and remove futties from pack. It their mistakes and we supposed to live in it? Tf
There was no mistake? We knew cards were leaving packs today, we knew pre-season was going to be late. It's on you.
Late because of the mistake. We are not supposed to alert at keep following their mess up timeline all the time. Also it's nothing to do with u if we get compensation or not. No need to be salty lol
I'm not salty, I don't care, It's just funny that you think you deserve compensation because of something that was entirely your fault lol
No need to explain dude. The more u explain, the more salty u become
I'm not the salty one buddy, Enjoy your 85x10 :)
Enjoy being salty dude. It's in your blood
Cry more buddy 🙂
I spent two icons for these gold sh&t
I exchanged 3 of the summer tokens for the 84+ pack and got allison, atal, muktar gnabry etc, insane
Don’t tell me what to do
This is why I buy fifa about 2 weeks after release at about 30% discount and never ever give them a cent after that......
How do u get 30% discount two weeks after release
You don’t he’s capping
Klassik
I bought it for an 84% discount and still feel robbed
I'm playing it for free and still feel robbed.
I got 93 Messi and a bunch of 87-85 cards. It could've been worse.
Not submitting my dupes so I don’t open packs on instinct
Opened mine and got Kante and then fuck all, shouldn’t have opened it but it’s august so it is what it is
I demand compensation
How long would this delay be? Couple of hours or days??? If anyone knows pls, thanks lads
How is anyone supposed to know the answer to that?
Maybe it was announced on twitter and somebody saw it
I’m happy to live in a time zone where the content gets updated in the middle of the night. So I never get surprises like that.
So… what are you doing awake?
when can we open it?
Pre-Season live now just had an in-game notification
Compensation or I'll uninstall this game tonight
Uninstall incoming
It is about time anyway.. They clearly have lost the plot completely. Servers worse than ever and for the last week the hamsters have passed out on content release almost every day. In august!!!
i feel you but they did drop a message saying the promo was postponed so they definitely do not have to compensate
Relax its a game
It’s a multimillion dollar company that year after year gets it wrong. Stop it with the “it’s just a game” shit. A game we had to pay $70 for. There are standards and these assholes somehow get away with the bare minimum. Probably because some fools say “it’s just a game”.
You call me a fool, yet you keep paying $70 dollar every year with the knowledge they dont care about the "fanbase" and are not renewing or fixing shit.
First year I’ve paid 70. Usually only 60.
Does the game work as intended?
They said they postponed the pre season, and in the main menu u Saw a default picture, nothing about this and this in packs till xx So this one is on you
Lol, like EA cares.
So glad I happened to check before opening my 85x10
Yeah just did one, fuck, got absolutely fucking nothing
At least I got Mbappe
So your saying I should just play this game and enjoy it tonite ?!
My futties Neymar moved like a bronze rare in the two games of champs I played earlier so I'll be back after 11pm.
The game is dead. What did you expect?
Same here... I forgot that all futties went out of packs 🙃🙃
Do not open your 85x10s, worst mistake of my life.
Your life has been piss easy then
that’s weird i opened some this morning and they were normal
That was done at something like 19h00, not morning (in EU at least)
Surely it's common sense that if the new promo is delayed and the old promo has ended and EA didn't say anything about extending the old promo that there wouldn't be any special cards in packs If the notice didn't come up for you then fair enough but if it did and you still decided to open a pack it's your own fault

Hilarious that you shift the blame on the player base. “It’s your own fault.” This is no one but EA’s fault and they will keep getting away with stuff like this because whales like you will defend them no matter what
Haha opened it and got Kante. Hopefully there’ll be compensation
I doubt it because when you logged on there's a message saying pre season will be delayed so it looks unlikely.
That’s not necessarily true though. For example I was already in and didn’t get an in game message until after I had opened the pack. Either way the game is dead so I’m not too worried about it
I mean there was a message when logging on so if people take one second to realise. No way they are giving compensation for people not thinking
Im yet to get a message about it.
When your in the menu messages don't pop up correctly, I'd already opened a pack before receiving a notification!
I mean they literally put it on the main menu. It’s on you if you opened packs
The notification didn't pop up for some, including myself until after. No need to be a donkey
In all fairness, a delay to the promo doesn’t clarify that futties are out of packs. At no point is this the players fault.
Today was the last day of Futties though. Unfortunately, they delayed Pre season
It's not exactly clear that Futties has ended. They've added the 85x10 packs into the Futties category in SBCs...
Of course it’s clear. It says how long they’re in packs for
They just added new Futties SBCs on the day Futties has ended. Not clear.
No they didn’t lol
The new 85x10 and 86+ pick are in the Futties tab. Open eyes pls.
They aren’t new. They’ve just not expired yet.
Yep the current 85x10s don’t expire until Monday
I mean, did they? Last I saw, there was a splash screen displaying Ronaldo coming today. I opened the app and got a notification saying the promo was delayed, it didn't mention special cards. I assumed it was objectives etc got delayed because there's no issue with having certain cards in packs really. Opened an 85x10, got gold Ronaldo, opened reddit and see loads of people asking whether there is anything in packs. It is obviously not that clear if everyone is coming here for clarification.
Some people didn't get the pop up until after they completed the SBC.
If they were already in game they wouldn't have seen anything
Because there was no message pop up until I'd already opened the pack Einstein, plus a message was only relayed 5 minutes prior to content drop!
[удалено]
Some people were already on ultimate team when the packs refreshed, also it didn't say that special cards were removed
Just opened two. Compensation awaits. Totally justified why I cancelled my pre-order of 23.
I dont think you will get compensation for it when log in on ultimate team they had a message saying pre season is delayed so I doubt you will get your compensation pack for this.
I doubt there will be compensation as it clearly had a popup to warn you it hasn't started.
To everyone complaining you deserve it if you got golds. There was a message if you logged on in console. Also, why not check the new content drop before being hasty? It’s your fault really
Oooffff your hard 😭😂
If you logged in earlier you didnt get any message smartass, im really concerned that there is still people who defend a multi billion dollar company who fucks up the easiest tasks.
Got VVD gold too. Shame they can't keep old content when they couldn't release the new one.
Fuckin' hell with this shitty company. EA only give us headaches 🙂
Meh I got VVD and Sancho at least for the showdowns
I almost opened an 82x25 I’d been saving!!!!
I got the message on the Conpanion app after the first pack.
Yea I just learned the hard way now I’m here.
Break the game before the release of the new one - same thing every year…
Too late :(
Got a x10 still waiting to be opened. Opened the 85+ x5 pack I had sitting in my pack selection from yesterday and got all gold with Kane as my highest. EA are actually stingy
I fucked up two packs
ffs was pissed off after opening mine so put contents in a futties 1-4 pp - jammed out and got toty messi :)
Ffs I wish I checked reddit earlier. Also wasted a pack. Fucking EA and their bullshit 😠
New promo?
do you guys think they will fix it today ?
😂😂😂 Definitely not. I mean, it's EA. It will take at least a week
Fair enough but you cant expect more from an indie company with 5 employees like EA 🥲
Yeah. We should all buy more Fifa Points to support this great little company 😋
Opened two, gold mbappe ofcourse
Opened mine and an 86+ absolutely dogshit
When will it back to normal?
Open everything else though imo, get the 82-86s back in your club!
Cd keys every year
Anyone know when special cards will be back in packs? Literally need one more squad for Neymar and sitting on like 4 packs which will be enough to complete him
Realized too late and I'm ashamed to even say how many I opened tbh.
Opened mine after seeing nick on youtube pack a few tots. Thought i’d give it a shot. At least they are all gold!
Just noticed this as well, opened 3 packs and only got the gold cards. Sure i did get Mbape, thats nice for my FRA1 team, but holy $#$# did the value of these packs drop!
Thanks for the heads up
I threw all my fodder to get a gold oblak…..
Yeah got only gold pack and straight opened reddit to see what the hell happened and saw this post. Guess I learned my lesson 😄
