The Team of the Year promotion is usually one of the most anticipated moments in the FIFA saga and now in the FC saga, but this year the atmosphere is very different. Far from the usual excitement, a significant part of the community openly expresses its disappointment with the development of the event, which continues to be active over the next few days.

From forums to social media, the messages are repeated: the chances of getting TOTY players have been reduced to a minimum, the rewards are losing appeal, and progress feels increasingly limited for those who play without investing real money.

The community harshly criticizes the management of the TOTY event in FC 26

One of the most highlighted points is the economic balance of the Ultimate Team mode. The SBCs available in the store require ever-higher team averages, while the rewards obtained by playing barely allow generating the necessary coins to complete them. For many players, the current system makes it almost impossible to progress without resorting to buying packs.

This is added to a trend that the community perceives as clear: the pressure to spend real money. Packs have appeared in the store with prices reaching 40 euros, a figure that has generated strong rejection. Many players consider that the design of the event directly pushes to spend money, leaving those who bet on constant play and resource management in the background.

The discontent continues to grow, and some users are already warning of a possible abandonment after the TOTY event closes if the situation does not change. EA, for now, has not responded directly to these criticisms, while the promotion advances and discouragement spreads among a large part of the player base.
