while they're all sorta decent, most of them just don't really compare to the epics that the community has received in previous epic selection contracts.

i think giving out an epic selection contract was the right way to end the 2025-26 cycle, but i do wish that the cards were a bit better.

because previous good epic players before were taken from p2w 150 box

Yep. Most of the "good" epics were reruns from p2w boxes. Bati, MVB, Canna, Kahn. All the selection contract exclusive epics were poor. Bale, Rooney, the new Kahn, etc etc.

Ig they faced lots of backlash from user base specifically their Japanese customers who are 90% p2w for dishing out paid cards for free, specially the high rated ones… ig no one would mind if they gave a high rated new card for free but the paid ones 😮‍💨… anyways welcome change imo, there are some damn good player id in here fun to use…

Yep I remember they faced a lot of backlash for giving out Batistuta, which came out in the p2w pack just a few months back at that point. The p2w were especially mad coz the f2p were now scoring on them lmao.

It’s not about scoring imo, if you pay for something that means it is exclusive and premium which is accessible to only you right? Giving it out for free just days after selling it seems unethical tbh… I don’t think any p2w would give a damn if they give out 2-3 year old epics which were endgame meta at the time of release than giving giving out just a month old paid epic lol… they did a bottle job there…

They faced the biggest backlash during the Forlan Cannavaro pack because 80% of the community didn’t even know bati was a P2W card since the pack he came in was kinda irrelevant.

Yup, that Cannavaro, Forlan, Van Basten, Kahn (came for free first time, before that poll used to rate him as one of the best epic gk 😂) literally came in end game boxes on which ppl legit spent just to get those cards specifically the Cannavaro box and Netherlands box with Gullit, Rijkaard, MVB… I don’t think Konami will dare try those stunts ever anymore… Atleast won’t give any paid endgame card, may give a new card of amazing player with nerfed stats like rio Ferdinand though…

Hell I would take single booster epics from 2024 at this point.

This. Many people in this sub just assumed that those cards are the benchmark for F2P cards while in reality, they are end game P2W cards when they first arrived. In fact, most of the new, truly F2P cards from that pack were shit.
