EA SPORTS FC™ Mobile Soccer Reviews

by EAmakes FootballSAD

Started in December and played all events and programs on the reg. But now this free app costs a lot of money to be able to keep playing. I was working hard to push through Campaigns to get actual worthy rewards and then a reset to Vs Attack rankings set me back. It's impossible to get my Vs Attack rank back up because I get nothing but teams 3-5 OVR more than mine and they get more chances at goal and twice as many Great Chances. So now Vs Attack is unplayable, Campaigns are locked and events are periodic with the current one (St. Patrick's) not even being an event with skill events or games, just packs to buy. Is this a soccer game or a card game? Because at this point I can buy and upgrade player cards but have no game modes worth playing with those players. The game is utterly pointless in just four months of having it. It's really disappointing that EA has found a way to monetize something enjoyable and has let that quest for money take all the joy out of it. If you are thinking about starting FIFA Mobile...don't! You will likely end up wishing you could get back four months of your life Not to mention, all the money that you put in to try and get an advantage in a game that has predetermined that you will always be at a disadvantage. Could be so much more, but unfortunately it's a business with the end all goal of making a profit.

To start, this was an incredible game! It's been on my phone longer than any other game. At first, I ignored the glitches and the bad vs attack. Then we dealt with all of the updates which made the game not work half of the time. was still a loving fan of the game. Finally, with this new update all of the hard work I spent on creating my team was thrown away. The developers of the game basically said that everything I did was worthless. understand that this update could bring a lot of potential in the future, but in my opinion it is not worth the loss of my previous team I went from a 91 rating to a 56! If you are wanting to download the game now as a first time, then I have no doubt that you will love it. But as for us old timers to the game, starting over from scratch does not seem worth it. Developers, please return our old teams to us! truly loved this game. All of the upgrading features appear to be very useful, and can see how it is creating the next level of game play (I only went through the tutorial again to see if it would return my team post playing). But please, please return my old team to me. I don't want all of the money that I spent to get where l was to be wasted. It truly is disappointing especially from a game that I love so much. If I am missing how to get my team back developers please let me know.

EA you should add a match making, so you can have the new player not have to face player that have have played the game before with the best teams and stats. When I was playing the game I match up to people that either spend money or played the game so much that I got frustrated of losing to them with my 81 rated with 28 chemistry team to a 91 or above with 100 or more chemistry losing by a lot of goals and wasting my time trying to get at least 1 goal for 1 minute and 30 seconds while on the other side they were chilling with 10 goals knowing they are going to win and that I won’t be able to catch up so what I am thinking is to add a match making system so your new players don’t go against maxed out players so it can be fair. Plus the old Fifa mobile gave new players the opportunity to have a better advantage to get better player before the star pass because fifa points were easier to get, not haveing to wast money ona star pass that gives you 200 fifa points for 10 dollars, that is a wast of cash. Instead add some of the old events and the starter Cristiano Ronaldo that you get when finishing the tutorial, because your players will have something that everyone had and won’t rely on the silver, bronze and gold players when some has elite player so at least they have a chance of winning.

Awful. Too often I get repeats of the same players. 4 times in a row I’ve gotten the same, bottom of the available players, Cole Palmer 84 rated CAM for Manchester City, in the Champions League event when I exchange group points for group stage players. 4 times in a row! And it’s not the first time. 6 times I exchanged in group E of the group stage of the same event, 3 times, in a row, I got the bottom player of the group, Lauper CB from Young Boys, 84 rated, and then 2 in a row Garcia LB from Young Boys, second bottom, rated 85. When it says it’s random, yet the same bottom players continue to get given in exchange, that is not random. I have a feeling that because I don’t spend tons of money on my account, I don’t get the good players even in the exchanges. Don’t try and tell me it’s not this, and that it is random, that there is not some algorithm that goes on how much money you spend. I’ve been playing FIFA mobile since 2016 or 2017, and it was not this way back then. It was random. You actually had the ability to make a good squad that could actually compete with other squads that were bought with tons of cash without spending any money. Now, it’s impossible to get some players without spending 100s and it seems that you are also at a disadvantage in the events to exchange for players if you aren’t one of the ones that spends big. Disgraceful

I’ve been playing this game for a while now, and Once I’ve made it up to overall 112. But there are some things that makes it hard to progress through the game. When I started the current season, Mbappe popped up on the screen with a hour long tutorial and no freedom. I think you should give them a shorter tutorial and let them go from there. And let them have the option to disable the tutorial. 2, everything is so expensive, and people use lots of money on the game. I only want to use in game currency, and when you do that, it is very hard to get the best outcome in upcoming events. 3. Division Rivals. I think the matchmaking is very bad. It depends how many “fans” you have. I think it should depend on your rating of the team and find the pairs. For example, I do my first VS Attack match, after I’m ranked. Me, OVR 62, them, OVR 85. I don’t think it’s fair for teams like that to be facing off. 4. I always feel lonely playing this game. Only thing I hear on the field is the crowd. I wish there was broadcasters that spoke during the game. 5. I know there is red and yellow cards, but when the red card comes out, the player gets no 1 to 2 day suspension. Which also leads to injuries and substitutes, I think this game should have both. If your player is working too hard and is not substituted, it could get injured, so other players can get a chance to play and your team is not always at their best. I hope you take some of these ideas into mind, Thanks.

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF THIS GAME, FIX THE OVR! When in divisional rivals, what is the point of having a high OVR and Chemistry rating if you keep losing fans every time you play someone with a lower rating? This game is far from the reality of real fifa. No team REALLY LOSES FANS. I’m a fan of Real Madrid even though CR7 left, I’m a fan of Juventus even though CR7 left, I’m a fan of MAN UNITED even though they don’t win many games. Be more realistic. Also, both timers should end at the same time, my timer end but my opponents keeps going for another 14 seconds….how is that fair? This has been the plague of this potentially awesome game. Also, when in the store…when we trade our points or fifa $$, give us a player, not possible scenarios that we “might” get one, what a money tease, that’s not fair either.

Why can’t you developers give us a game play that’s like a regular league season so we can qualify for Champions league and as such the FA CUP/SUPERCOPA/COPPA ITALIA/ etc based on your preference of league? Instead we get this constant run a round. Chasing the game for higher players. Honestly this game has amazing potential but you guys are getting it wrong. It’s fun to play but so frustrating at the same time. Oh and can you please fix the chat? It’s constantly censoring and we aren’t even being disparaging towards our own team. There’s a lot to consider but it depends on how much you’ll care to make any changes.

This game used to be awesome seriously, but now it requires you to pay for a lot of things to get a good team I have a 92 Over but still it’s very hard to win in head of head and attack. I believe there shouldn’t be chemistry mode. I think that’s screwed and that shouldn’t effect what player win but it does. If you don’t know what chemistry mode is, it requires you to have players from the same country or from the same event to win attack mode and if you don’t your screwed. Even you have the best team ever and you have 0 in chemistry mode and you play attack mode most likely your going to lose and in head to head it gives the other team an advantage because of chemistry. Personally I think that’s 100% screwed. Around the country players could be friends with other people across the world it doesn’t matter that they live in the same country, but of course it matters to fifa. Also I got put into the bottom of the good players and because I don’t have a good chemistry it’s almost impossible to win. Also the world tour is rigged. It says I can play one part but it doesn’t let me play that’s absolutely disappointing. Also some events they do random chance to win good players. It should be skill not chance, and fair not rigged like what fifa is doing. If they ever want me to play again they are going to have to change a lot of things. And when I say lot I mean lot.

by KnotMaggot

So first off I play this game religiously, and it has all the players you could ever want to play. The chemistry aspect gives you a bonus while playing H2H or VS attack. The downfall is you have to have players of the same nation league or team to get the chemistry. The beauty of FIFA is having all players from all around football being able to be on the same team. Ex having a team with Messi, Ronaldo, De Gea, De Bruyne all on the same team. And if you don’t have the chemistry it’s a strong disadvantage in the H2H or vs attack.

Another issue I have is all the events unlock cool players, which is great but the longer the event goes on the lower your resell value is in the market. For example I used to resell my team every so often and end up with 200mil to rebuild a new team with new players. I like to change up my team to play new players and keep my chemistry maxed out (since the chemistry is so important). Now if I did that I’d maybe have 120 million since all the players I have now have been unlocked by more and more people. As each event goes on the more people unlock the same character and the price keeps dropping because everyone sells their player just a bit lower than the next one to make sure you buy their character. I feel like if the event ends and all the players for that particular event were deleted from the market those of us that still have them in our line ups could resell them and play a stock market type game within the game

I think the game is great. All of the new events and campaigns are so fun to play. But the reason why at the same time I think this game is also horrible is because of all the horrible pack openings and glitches and reboots. I opened about 15 scout mission packs hoping to get Ascensio, but from all of those pack openings I didn't even get an elite. For TOTW I had enough tokens to play against the team of the week. But when I tried playing it, the game froze. After I logged back in all of my tokens were gone. I got very frustrated so I stopped playing the game that day. The next day when I opened up the game it froze again so I restarted it and then when it was loading it asked if I wanted to use my old account. Not sure of what happened I chose to load in my old account, and then it started everything over. All of my players were gone. Everything was erased. I don't understand how such a great game is undergoing these problems. Not only am I having all of these glitches, but now my old account is gone. I WANT MY OLD ACCOUNT BACK. And I know that my device is not causing these problems. I'm also positive that others are having the same issues. Please, I'm begging the FIFA developers, fix these bugs that are causing this game to be much more under rated than it has to be.

Over the years, this game has embellished itself with more and more pointless vsa matches, with now several ranking tables that just make you angry and frustrated. Wonderful marketing strategy to try to sell more packs, but causal and more advanced users are not happy to have to spend hours per day to try to catch up with the rest of the pack. Which, by the way, is mostly formed by bots, cheaters, and players that use emulators -one wonders if this is also a strategy from the game staff to add some ‘Achilles and the Tortoise ‘ logic to the game so that more purchases are make. No satisfaction comes from building your “dream team”, as base cards are already obsolete after a just few weeks -the only way to remain competitive is to churn the team every week with cards obtained from expensive, real money-driven programs. Devs and PRs are a close circle of think-a-like people that show little respect and attention towards discordant voices, and adopt a blame-the-customer strategy on multiple occasions. Instead of fixing bugs and annoying programming errors, they launch new events every week so that high-spending players (but also casual, naive ones) can waste their money in useless packs as the chance of obtaining good rewards from them is quite slim. It is a pity, because the game has potential and could have been better thought and developed -but the team seems to be moved by greed and hubris. Disappointing.

by Mustangfam

I’m getting happier with the game but still needs to have better balancing in vs attack the percentage is unbalanced for the chemistry and the overall. Also like in la liga rivals there is a little over a week left and I have only been able to get a top row of game one done and it’s unfair for me because I can’t just buy my way to get every part of the events done and in the market if I want a 90+ it’s all over 1,000,000 coins and it takes me about a week to make that amount of coins so I’m events and any challenge we need a major increase in gems and coins to buy packs. Like right now in carniball event the games need to be down 0-1 at halftime it takes forever to finish a game; also the packs in the events needs a decrease in cost in gems since you gain so little gems daily and can there be a high chance in getting high lvl players like in champion league lets say I finish a row I have such a high chance to get a lowish player I don’t need and will never use I am a 91 overall player and I have my left and right back the lowest number which is 87 players I want more players in that position available in events or have it easier to level up players because I hardly ever try to level them up I just save a huge fortune of money to buy a better player with coins and I probably speak for many when it’s hard to get good players at all

by SAM THE ICON

Weak servers and bogus VSA ruling are just a fraction of this game’s mediocrity! This game suffers from a dozen of fundamental flaws. When you want to play the world tour in order to improve your team, you have to beat a 100 overall team in order to get a 79 overall player! If I had the power to beat this kind of team, then why would I need a 79 overall player? This represents a ridiculous system of rewarding. After that, you enter VSA attack and that’s where you collide with the game’s philosophy. There you find a world overran with emulators and investors who cheat their way up to achieve success. Effort and hard work is not even defined in this game because no matter how much you try to improve yourself, you see a horde of players who just pay money to climb the mountain. The game is all about money grubbing. When you want to achieve a player whom you’re interested in, you have no other way but to pay a huge amount of money, something which is already impossible for the third world players. Even if you neglect the lunatic physics of this game which makes you very angry when you collide stronger enemies, you have to regulate your team chemistry which absolutely hinders you from developing your team of dreams. Therefore, you have a very limited domain of choices if you want to play with your bare hands (not wallet) even After months and months of hard work and time investment.

by Hal Tornado

Sorta good but can you make the game fair in regards to gameplay/AI and not give us the equivalent of suicidal military missions for soccer match challenges in this game I’ve struggled so badly with the final match of chapter two in the adventure path in the national heroes because your down 0-3 start of the second with no tiebreaker oh and you need to score with a defender and get a brace I’ve only even tied the game twice and like I said it’s painfully hard for absolutely no reason I mean the final match of the whole adventure path seems easier than the final of chapter two it just feels like I’m trying to fill an abyss because my striker will run out of bounds with the ball even though I told him to go the other way my striker with a goal actually stays away from the penalty area the opposite of what a striker is supposed to do and during corner kicks my defenders either don’t jump for the ball or are in the back side of the penalty area away from the goalkeeper and my defenders should be really good at heading my 98 overall CB who’s 6’5 and has 120 heading is diving for the ball to get headers it just feels messed up man and my defense to sum it up my defenders and GK allowed a CAM to score from outside the penalty area just need to fix the AI and gameplay but other than that I would like a feature that allows you to skip one game or skill game per event so this doesn’t happen often but it can only be used once and yeah that’s it

by Kooki101

this game is actually an awesome game with amazing features that are available while only being able to play while on the phone , however this game becomes soooooo annoying and not fun to play anymore , as fifa mobile has 0 skill based matchmaking , which means that when your team has an overall rating of 90 , all of your games will be against MINIMUM team with a 105 overall rating , as this problem keeps on going on and on and the opponents get harder without you advancing for months , this causes you to hate the game , rage quit , and even hurt yourself because of anger issues , as this game makes sure it has 0 skill based matchmaking in order to make its users very uncomfortable playing the game and not having fun which causes them to play the game more and more just in order to gain their ranks back , however after playing this game for a couple of months maximum people will understand how skill based matchmaking is the number one most important feature in an online game , as fifa mobile lacks skill based matchmaking this causes it to lose a lot of players and cause anxiety and anger issues to people that start to reflect in their character and personality in real life , which is what made me hate the game although I liked it , it’s because this game makes it soooo annoying that people spend 5 hours per day aging the game and not having fun just being anxious and mad trying to get their ranks back.

Best regards ,

First of this isn’t going to be any rant or anything just a suggestion on how to make the gameplay a bit more enjoyable. To start of everything is greet in your game. Your really generous in giving in game energy, skill boosters, tokens, and many more things, and I really love how I can create teams with correct positioning and chemistry and then play with those teams in vs attack and world tour, but here comes the problem. Often times in vs attack you face people with much higher OVRs than you, also they always have a higher chemistry then you. Take me for instance I’m nearing world class division two with an OVR of 88 and a chemistry of 120. Now you may be thinking that’s not half decent, but can you really think that when you are going up against people with OVRs of 93 and higher, and not to mention they always have 130 to 140 chemistry compared to my 120. I always get really frustrated when I just need to win one game to rank up and then I ended up going down then up then down then up until I just end up at where I was before all of it, and for this instance I propose some type of match making system not on trophy’s, but on OVRs and people’s chemistry. This is all I really had to say and complain about, but in the end I’m just happy to play the game IGN IAmAGremlin

by Aka Broken Game

It’s a great game but there’s still some to fix I should now I’m 92 overall team but first is
Lag: I know what you’re gonna no lag but it’s true I have iPhone 8 I lag out every time I play no what WiFi I use second the people you play it’s outta control I’m 92 overall and they make me play a 70?!?! It’s just wrong to obliterate people that are trying so hard to be good Also leagues I don’t understand why do the worst leagues never show up I made league nobody has joined yet and the tiniest amount of people leagues should be first it’s herendous if I’m honest and also this legacy stuff it’s not right why can’t I upgrade the legacy team that’s so wrong let’s just keep the team eternally altogether it’s that’s the case. One more thing is the events I don’t understand how do we long one on under 2 days it’s worse the the console FIFA problems it’s just herendous to start and see six things to do in 2-4 days it needs a fix but like I said good game if this was fixed I’d slap 5 stars on it and others people too but until all of this changes 4our stars good job and please listen and read it’s the right thing to do. Peace out ok 🤝👌

by Gabe_BTW

Wth is this game. It’s fun and everything but I spend hours and hours playing and grinding to get nothing this isn’t fair I wish you could play with controller and if the was carrear mode and the overall was based on actual fifa. Keep this in mind that purchases need to be much cheaper. Also I love the game but it gets me upset that I have to open a UCL player box 8 times for a player and out of those 8 times not a single player above 90 my highest overall player was a 89 Phil Foden don’t get me wrong it a cool player but after all these years and money I’ve spent on this game (I’ve been playing fifa since Fifa 12 and I’ve spent over 300 on micro transactions) it just disappoints me that I can’t receive better odds or luck. You probably don’t care about what I’m saying but overall love the game and please fix the graphics 😂👍 also when I was younger I would play fifa 16 on my iPad it would be the same thing as fifa 16 same soundtracks same color scheme and same game modes / events I have a nostalgic feeling thinking about that please bring it back if the community agrees do packs but please lower the price by at least 15% I understand this company needs money to carry out their new ideas but would you prefer to have 5 people giving you 100 dollars each (500) or 10 people giving you 75 dollars each (750)

First off I’d like to say that I really enjoy this game. It comes in handy when you get that slight urge to play on your console but aren’t home to do so, so it fills in well enough to make you happy. I enjoy the events as well! Now, what I do wish to change are just a couple of things... first, if maybe the players could make the passes when manually playing as it does when it’s auto playing, that would be great. That’s the minor change though. The MAJOR change is when players forfeit... I’m up winning against players 5-10 points above my team’s overall, smashing them, then they quit and we’re left to fend against the AI format of the team which makes it near impossible to beat, so now I end up losing to my opponent because the AI are so much faster and my team, even on auto mode, is not able to keep up because keep in mind my team is 5-10 overall points weaker than theirs. Now, I wouldn’t mind if I lose against the AI as long as I get the full credit for winning, as my opponent forfeited, but instead I get deducted the points for loosing against their unbeatable team through the AI. It’s not fair at all. So if y’all could change it to where we get the full winning credits when an opponent leaves, whether we lose against the AI or not, that would make this game great. Auto 5 STAR!! Please!! Thank you!

by Diane Villela

I enjoy this game I really do, but I understand now that every time they have drafts in real life the game updates and changes, so we have to gain players again! I made my peace with that but there is one major issue that drives me crazy is users charging massive amounts of coins for a player and makes it impossible to get players you want from the market. Example of this is Alisson goal keeper costing $43,000,000. There should be a cap on the price people can exceed that way people have a chance of getting players they want. I never get players I want in the game so I always have to get them in the market. Unless you have a lot of real money to get that many coins then you have no chance of getting it! Last year I was able to collect 8,000,000 in coins for Neymar Jr, but by the time I did the game updated and my legacy team didn’t have him in the line up because I had a second team I made my primary for an event and didn’t see the update in time to make the team with him on it the primary team. Maybe there may be a way to select the team you want to use for matches instead of me having to go and change the primary.

I am a very good FIFA Mobile player. I really enjoy the game, and unlike other people, I do not in any way, shape, or form think that you need to spend money to be good. I have never spent a single cent on FIFA Mobile, and in FIFA 18 Mobile I got my team all the way to 112 OVR. However, there is one thing I can't stand. It is very exciting when the new season comes out and I am excited to claim my rewards from Preseason, including my now & later preseason Cristiano Ronaldo. I was so excited to come home and play the new season, but when I went on to EASPORTSFC , it said UPDATE REQUIRED. I pressed ok and it took me to the AppStore, but it said that no update was available for the game. I reloaded it many times, but it never worked. At this point I have been trying to play the new season for about 3 hours- with no luck. This really disappointed me. The same issue happened last year to me with the update from '17 to '18, and my best friend had the same problem as me. We are both very frustrated by this, and would appreciate guidance on how to address this issue. If anyone else had this issue, let me know.

First of all, biggest P2W (pay to win) game and probably even franchise there is. You guys are so money hungry it’s honestly disgusting. I’m a F2P player, so I grind the events with what I can get within the game (energy, coins, etc.) I have yet to spend a single dime on this game. There are so many things wrong with it and not a single dev seems to care about their customers feedback because you guys don’t fix sh*t.
1. VSA matches are rigged: I’m currently a 96 overall with 124 chemistry. I’m in Legendary Division 1. All of that is through hard work because i’m a F2P player. But all of that hard work is ruined because I cannot seem to match up against a single player who is anywhere within a reasonable OVR or CHEM amount compared to me. Every game, I get matched with players who have spent their entire live savings on the game and have acquired a 110+ OVR with 130+ CHEM.
2. Continuing on with VSA matches: I can’t even count the amount of times where I have been tied with an opponent with 00:01 seconds left on the clock and my screen goes black signaling the end of my game... but then I get to sit there for another 10 seconds while my opponent gets to have 1 or 2 more chances and then I end up losing the game.
Bottom line is, your algorithm, developers responses and lack of care for their players, all combine to make one of the worst and most disgusting sports games anyone has ever played.

If I am missing how to get my team back developers please let me know.

Every time I log on to EASPORTSFC, I have sad revelations of what fifa once was. Where did the good times go were any player could experience what should be in an ea game. Star travel allowed you to have a 100+ overall team and 1,000,000 coins in a couple events. Why troll us and add star pass where you have to pay 10 dollars for the good old times. Also don’t forget star forge aka the best thing ever to grace fifa. It is now grinding at 12:00 pm for a 80 ovr player. Also the carnival event is unfair the fact that you are losing at the start of the 2nd half to a 90 overall team is absurd. The only thing that could truly save this game is to nerf chemistry and to bring back star forge and star travel. Please update this game if you really care- thanks for your time

Btw the vs attack un unplayable. I play 108 ovrall teams with 170 chemistry while I have a 91 ovrall with 82 Chem this leads the other team to have 5 times the greater chances and ruins the game star travel or a campaign where you didint have to play 120 overall teams would be ideal this review is coming from a player who once treated this like its a religion but now scoffs at what ea can get away with like selling expensive stuff. The tip however would be to reboot star travel and if the player is out of star energy they can pay to get more. I loved this game but hate to see what’s happened just update it please
