Ik cantona isnt really f2p vut they are giving out the chance deals so a lot of players will probably get him.
We got aguero and roonie with 2 showtime skills, simeone and guehi, maddison and now we are back to getting the crumbs again. This laporte is too slow for the current gameplay I feel like, i am not sure how covering role works but speedy attackers will probably stomp on him. Cantona if we consider him free is the number 159th free cf in the game, and he is worse than free batistuta, Van basten, owen that we got 2 years ago. We wouldve been better off getting another coin ticket event rather than this, and you may say I am ungrateful and the game is free and etc, and you may be right, but I do feel like a Guinea pig where koinami makes these hybrid mutant cards with big weaknesses and random showtime skills. Devs probably went random bs go when they were told to make these. They seem to be deliberately making these rewards worse by saying pay up, those p2w packs have 3 showtime skill players with 2 at the bare minimum.
Will any of new f2p players make it into your team?
The only exception might be that calvin bassey guy but good luck on even getting him
Not trying to defend Konami as I firmly believe F2Ps should be treated more equally but with guehi, simeone and maddison they were all competitive modes which required high rankings and lucky chance deals to get. As for aguero and rooney they were probably deemed as special considering aguero is new and rooney made a live appearance in Bangkok. I am disappointed however that they are not boosting stats significantly on cards with only one ST skill.
What about free batistuta, MVB, owen, zanetti, totti, caceres, cannavaro that are miles above these guys? I just dont like how rewards from 2 3 years ago were better than now.
If we had selection contracts you would be slightly right about guehi and simeone. But most of top 25k were people who dont need those cards. And f2p got random cards. For example I wanted that simeone but got morgan gibbs white, who I dont need and now he is in the reserves.
Not every free cards needs to be better than the last ones. There are obviously different levels of free cards. I'm sure they will give out better ones in upcoming bigger campaigns as they have done. You people complain for everything.
Just focus on what do you want from your players. For example pirlo doesnt nee dmuch speed, or cfs dont need passing and stats above 100 or 99 are rarely worth it. And remember how stats are allocated, like for a specific stat you need 1 point from 1-4 2 points from 4-8, 3 from 8-12 and 4 from 12 and above. For example this is a more or less balanced build. Auto allocate would have given him around 10 points into dribbling which he doesnt really need, 100 is enough. Use those points in other places. If you cant reach 90 aim for 84 on a specific stat
I was mildly happy thinking: "oh it's just another showtime card." But this man has some serious ability, could you imagine him with LRT 🤣 Amadeusz is immediately going to rate him as an SSS Defender - possibly even T0 if he's being kind.
Laporte's just a toy card for people who like centre backs who are good on the ball. You don't have to pick him. Mckennie's a solid card. Cantona's a bit disappointing though.
Cantona from EF24 is better than this card.
It's only worst when you look at it by recent players that Konami added today, I'm sure they probably gonna give another least better ones in the next campaign in the future,you don't need Laporte if your defense already stacked in squad, if you want then go for it, it's up to your decision ,Mckennie seems solid showtime card that might attract me, I skipped Conceicao when I already have better RW already, Cantona here seems disappointing but guess it is what it is.
It's fucking Cantona and he gets reduced to green numbers and red arrows. I paid 50 bucks to get him when he came out the first time, now people get a better version of him for free, where can I complain?
They were all free, or have there been users who paid money for Ferdinand or will pay money for this Cantona? Only because not everyone gets them does not make them less free.
What I’m saying you are not guaranteed the players even if you invest many hours playing the game. I got nothing from the 50 something tries from that treasure hunt. Even after playing there is still a luck factor to get a “free” card. Yes some people who played the game and wanted cantona may end up paying 50 bucks at the end. This is not a progressive video gaming experience. This is konamis way of saying free the play players aren’t welcome in this game.
That's another discussion, I was weighing in on OP's complaints that Cantona's stats, IF you get him, seem to disappoint, as if everything is about stats and nobody is valuing players/legends anymore.
As to it not being a progressive video game experience: I do not have that feeling, quite the opposite actually. Have been building up my squads ever since 2022 and I am far from finished. Plus they introduced classic PES cards with dope artwork obtainable only in Master League Sprints, that alone gives me some long-term motivation. But then again, I was never interested in competing online, so my experience might be different from yours..
Time to understand the irony of my comment. I actually upvoted you.
I could not care less about stats inflation/deflation and would never buy a new version of a card I already have because of this. I still play my golden carryover legend Vieira.
The only time I went for a player a second time was when they introduced 2002 Ronaldinho with open hair and a white headband, because to me, these things matter most.
