cheap FC 24 Coins I usually play Ultimate Team at a casual EA FC 24 Coins level, but this year I went hard. I grinded nearly every promo, I built the strongest teams, and I even spent a little money during Team of the Year (between buying a few packs and saving over a hundred, I still didnrsquo;t pull a TOTY). Whether I was trying something fun like a Liverpool past-and-present squad or using the most meta Benzemas and Fekirs (sorry), I kept my squad ahead of the power curve in a manner that you can only do by playing nearly every day.
Because I have a life, my FC games would mostly happen late in the evenings, after my girlfriend and daughter went to bed. It not a great time to play FC, and trying to grind through a Weekend League in the early hours just to be rewarded with the worst red picks yoursquo;ve ever seen is not the one. I quickly realised that, for the time I put in, Weekend League (or FUT Champions as it now known) is not worth it for me. What Irsquo;ve since realised is that none of it is worth the time I put in.
I havenrsquo;t played FC since Team of the Season ended a few weeks ago. Irsquo;ve logged into the web app to do a few SBCs, but Irsquo;ve played no matches and there certainly been no grinding. What are the results? I feel better, for starters. Irsquo;m less stressed when Irsquo;m playing games (hobbies are supposed to be fun, who knew?). Irsquo;ve also had more time to play some games Irsquo;ve been meaning to get around to. Irsquo;ve started playing Dragon Age: Origins, a game that been in my backlog for years, and although Irsquo;m annoyed that my dog isnrsquo;t a better companion, Irsquo;m enjoying my first BioWare RPG. Irsquo;m enjoying my time gaming more and diving into smaller titles on my Switch ndash; ElecHead was great and Irsquo;ve got Blade Runner ready to go next.
I had a similar experience when I stopped grinding out every Apex Legends battle pass. I still play the game regularly, but not forcing myself to collect every cosmetic out of FOMO makes for a much more enjoyable experience. If I sound like Irsquo;m just ragging on the games-as-a-service model, that might be because I am ragging on the games-as-a-service model. Grinding out reward after reward and being forced back into events and promotions purely because I donrsquo;t want to miss out is not how I want to play games, and reassessing my relationship with FC is my first step to getting the most out of my hobby again.
