A thread on what EA can / should do to improve FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) 21.
This is going to be a long one because FIFA 20 was a blunder and one of the worst FIFAs in a long time.

1. The most important of all, improve the servers to fix delay.
No one likes laggy gameplay in 2020. We all hate it when our pass or skill was perfectly done but it just didn& #39;t register due to the awful servers.
A billion dollar company can surely provide better servers!

2. Re-work the gameplay.
The current gameplay is terribly boring. I& #39;ll simply quote @Tekkz, "every game is a 50-50, no one enjoys playing it (FIFA 20)”.
Here are my suggestions to improve the gameplay:
-buff headers, low driven shots
-fix randomness of player switching [...]

-fix the incorrect offside calls
-buff manual defending, make it more rewarding
-AI defending needs to be nerfed
-allow us to choose the players we want in a penalty shoot-out.
-nerf drop back slightly
-fix the third person camera bug (not sure about console, common in PC)

3. Menu UI refresh.
It& #39;s been a decade since EA have been using the same old UI - all the do is change the colours and replace the images. That really isn& #39;t hard to do, is it?
A refresh would be really nice, here& #39;s a concept by @keobharadwaj

4. Bring back ICON SBCs
Even when the gameplay wasn& #39;t the best, I could& #39;ve easily completed R9 / Eusebio / Cruyff SBCs just by grinding League SBCs & upgrade packs. Can only dream of owning them in FIFA 20.

Yeah the icon swaps is a great concept, but not everyone has the time to grind for them. They can keep the icon swaps along with the icon SBCs. Basically a mix of FIFA 20 and 21 to handle icons. It& #39;ll reward both the traders and the players and everyone stays happy.

5. Improve the SBC rewards
- Firstly, EA should NEVER give untradable packs as a reward from SBCs. It was ALWAYS tradable in FIFA 20. It& #39;s fine if they& #39;re giving untradable rewards for objectives but for high rated SBCs? Really?

- Secondly, improve the quality of packs.

- Secondly, improve the quality of packs.
For a 86-87 rated squad we used to get a 50K pack back in FIFA 19. Submitting an icon or an 88 rated squad would give us 100K pack. We get an untradable prime electrum players pack for the same in FIFA 20.
Imagine packing an icon and then realising that it& #39;s only worth 50Khttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤐" title="„Schweigen ist Gold“-Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: „Schweigen ist Gold“-Gesicht">

6. Pack weight
-should be shown precisely (removal of <1%)
-should be improved in general

7. Improve the Squad Battle rewards
The squad battles rewards aren& #39;t good enough, they should definitely be improved. Can& #39;t be playing countless of hours just for a prime electrum players pack.

8. Contracts
Instead of applying contracts one by one, we should be allowed to give contracts to every player in the squad at once. Saves so much time.

9. Fitness
Imagine paying 1000+ coins for every two games just because your players lack fitness. Should remove fitness or should decrease it at a lower rate than current.
Also allow us to apply "player fitness" in bulk if we do not possess squad fitness.

10. Milestones
Players who grind have already achieved all the milestones of 300 wins and have nothing to play for.
EA should add other milestones like x amount of finesse shots, long shots, chip shots, comebacks, clean sheets etc. (they advertised it but never added ithttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤡" title="Clownsgesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Clownsgesicht">)

11. Duplicate items management
EA should add a storage for duplicates which we can use later on. Yes we do have quicksell recovery but that lasts only for 7 days.
Basically just a replica of the World Cup 18 storage feature, but permanently.

12. More position change cards
In football, it& #39;s common to see a RW play at LW or a LB play at RB and vice versa. In FIFA, it& #39;s simply not possible without sacrificing chemistry. They should add more position change cards.

13. Bring back knockout tournaments
Remember the old FUT where we were rewarded a special player and some coins for winning the daily knockout tournament? Would love to have it back - it was a quick and a fun mode to play.

14. Improve rewards for the higher ranked players.
The difference between 22 and 23 wins is night and day. Reward the better players with a minimum guarantee of a certain rating (maybe 86 and later on 88)
Inclusion of promo cards in WL earlier would also be great.

15. Extinct chemistry styles and position changes.
Chemistry styles like shadow and hunter should be made purchasable for 5000 coins instead of 22,000 each.
Same with CF>CAM. In PC we have to wait for at least 5 mins to snipe them.

16. Crossplay between PC/XBOX/PS
The transfer market and other game modes except Ultimate Team are basically dead for PC (Origin). We will also get matched with players faster and with a better ping.
If Rocket League can do that, why not FIFA?

17. Do not keep upgrading the same "meta player" player again and again.
There are players who have cards in 3-4 different promos. EA can instead add cards for the players who don& #39;t have a single promo card (eg: Lo Celso / Lamela)
