Q & A

What is the main topic of the script?

The script revolves around a discussion of various aspects of FIFA Ultimate Team, including Squad Builder Showdowns, player evaluations, the impact of Team of the Year events, and the process of crafting teams and choosing players based on their performance, cost, and chemistry within the game.

What is the significance of Team of the Year in FIFA Ultimate Team?

Team of the Year (TOTY) is significant in FIFA Ultimate Team because it represents a period where players can obtain high-rated player cards through packs or crafting SBCs. The TOTY event is highlighted as a time to gather fodder and craft better teams, even though packing a TOTY card is rare.

How do the speakers view the use of Twitch Prime subs vs. actual subs?

The speakers suggest preferring actual subscriptions over Twitch Prime subs for supporting their streams, noting that Twitch Prime subs yield less financial benefit ('like 20p when somebody primes') but still express appreciation for any support.

What challenges does one speaker mention about playing with loan Team of the Year teams?

The speaker mentions losing three out of four matches to full loan Team of the Year teams, indicating the competitive disadvantage and frustration when facing opponents with significantly stronger, loaned players.

What is the stance on player cards like Kante and Luca Modric in terms of cost and performance?

The stance is critical of the high costs associated with certain player cards, like Kante and Luca Modric, especially when their performance upgrades or differences in stats do not justify the expense. For instance, Modric's card costing one million for minor stat boosts is deemed not worthwhile.

What strategy is suggested for dealing with Team of the Year events?

The suggested strategy is to focus on obtaining lots of fodder and crafting SBCs to improve one's team during the TOTY event, rather than expecting to pack TOTY players. This approach is seen as a way to enhance a team effectively with a chance of getting a TOTY player as a bonus.

How does the script describe the process of choosing players for Squad Builder Showdowns?

The script details a process of selecting players based on strategic considerations such as performance, cost, chemistry, and the use of special cards. It includes discussions on player comparisons, the impact of specific attributes, and considerations for crafting a balanced and competitive team.

What are the views on the utility of certain player attributes and special cards?

The views expressed indicate that some player attributes and special cards, such as 'radioactive' cards or 'flashback' SBCs, are scrutinized for their actual utility versus cost. The script also touches on the disappointment with certain attributes like 'pinged Pass Plus' or 'flare' being less impactful.

What challenges are highlighted in Squad Builder Showdowns?

Challenges include avoiding predictable picks to prevent opponents from guessing player choices, the strategic use of players in multiple positions, and dealing with the constraints of chemistry and budget. The script also mentions the difficulty of balancing team quality with the risk of having to discard valuable players.

What outcome is described from a FIFA pack opening experience?

The outcome described from a FIFA pack opening experience includes the speaker's luck in packing three notable players (including two blues and an icon) after spending a significant amount of FIFA points, contrasting with a previous year where no notable players were packed despite a large expenditure.
