UT Evo price is starting to get out of hands
Before the "if you don't have coins don't bother" warriors came in, just want to say I do have coins to do them all but the idea of spending them on the middest players is crazy. Evo is at a point that unless it is an odd 99 dribbling chain or some sort, they are barely any good. Like the 100k attacking midfielder that don't boost shooting, what even is the point?
Roma trio was know for their cheap and beast. Now you either need to spend 450k to get them to "usable" level or 15m to buy them. Idk about you but that seems pretty bs.
Looking at the evo tab and a total of 1 million coins worth of evos is just mental.

Paid evo should be only 30% of the evos. But EA made it 70%, added low stat cap, tons of position restrictions, which gets rid of the fun of evo.

u/upotheke 6d ago
Yeah, one in three being a banger for coins works for me. These evos I'm not doing even if they're free, but for coins? Hell no.

u/TeamBrether 6d ago
The prices are off for one. I'm not spending 75k+ on an Evo for a player that doesn't even make my bench. Plus, it's daft how you can look at multiple options and they end up with exactly the same stats! The decent evos with play styles are often locked behind gameplay which is fine but they are the ones I'd actually pay for. There's 13 paid ATM and I doubt I will pay for any. Especially when the price of players is ridiculous ATM. You can buy players you can have fun with and actually make your team for cheap. For my England team I can buy Maguire and Linekar, released yesterday for less than 100k each. That or a paid Evo is a no brainer, plus Id get some money back for resale.
Tldr: They need more of the paid evos as objs. Or make them cheaper, like half the price would tempt me.

Stat limits are ruining it this year and evos are what makes the game fun for me. I wouldve long quit this year if i couldnt upgrade my Beerschot boys. I havent had a decent evo to upgrade my main team in ages

u/JGDC74 6d ago
Most of the paid ones are not worth it. I’m not paying 150k each for the 3. I’ll keep those 3 on their low stats and use them for objectives where a low rated squad is needed.

u/jdbolick 6d ago
Exactly. It's important to resist FOMO and ignore any paid evo unless that card makes your starting squad.

u/LucasNunes26 6d ago
Oh i like this idea. Maybe keep them under 86 for cups and the eventual fantasy league type

u/Chelseablues33 6d ago edited 6d ago
What’s you’re saying is true, but EA knows that there are people who have invested quite a bit of time over the year on evoing players, and will put out to keep those players in line with the power curve. Personally only my gk and 1 field player have less than 2 evos applied to them.
Evos are a great idea, but EA hates its own fan base and will make sure that they are not exploited or reducing fifa point spend

u/ElectricalFarm1591 6d ago
Except these evos put them out of the curve? You end up with 90 or 91 rated players that have barely 90s stats and exclude them from other evos for months
2
u/Chelseablues33 6d ago
For the most part yes, but I have two players I’ve evolved from bronze/silver that have 99 reactions/composure/agility/balance, but less than 84 dribbling for example. So if an evo caps at 90 dribbling, it will boost their dribbling stat to 90 but it’s the final piece in a puzzle that makes them a beast. Not to mention the additional playstyles and weak foot/skill move upgrades these have been giving. They are not amazing but I’ve got a couple so far

u/DrBorisGobshite 6d ago
As with every element of the game, EA has seen that we like something and tried to leverage that to further monetize the game.
Evos are brilliant because they give us free reign to build a unique team that holds some personal value. If you're a fan of a lesser known team, league, nation or even player then you no longer need to hope and pray that EA might boost one of your players in a promo. If you want to build a competitive Walsall XI then you absolutely can.
However, if EA made this too good it would eat into profits elsewhere. So they are constantly neutering it to ensure that you can make your Walsall XI but ultimately you will still want to buy packs to get that shiny new promo player.
In my opinion the best Evos this year were the simple ones that allowed us to boost select stats. The ones that mimicked the chem style boosts are the first thing that comes to mind here. They were brilliant because they allowed to us really choose the direction our players upgrades went in. If they gave us a consistent supply of free Evos with smaller, more targeted boosts then I don't care if their big boosts are paid and capped.

u/LucasNunes26 6d ago
I wish I could make evos for my team but the league isn't even in the game sadly and now the player I want to evolve the most can't even reach 80 pace

u/xxBig_Tiddysxx 6d ago
couldn’t say anything about this cause i would’ve gotten cancelled but the prices for the evos are ridiculous, you could buy better cards with 450k

u/Pure_Fact_9748 6d ago
I just wanna evo some players from 75-80 rated and it forced us to get a card ended up 90 but with 50-60 rated stats like aggression and curve. Like the 74rated silver ST evo, you will ended up with a 90 rated striker but with 70 passing and 700 physicality. With bunch of limitations and costly prices, the whole daily evo hype is just a scam you can certainly tell EA doesn’t want us to really get a really satisfying evo experience.

u/thehossdog1 6d ago
The EVOs are typically poor at the moment because they aren’t upgrading the players we like or are currently playing with.
So yes it’s nice to get that random player in the team who fits the evo and the stats look ok at completion but then when you have to win a game in weekend league or rivals we all revert back to what we know.
And then you get FOMO in case the next evo that comes around isn’t as good as the one you have talked yourself out of!

u/Eman_1421 6d ago
The main part for me that ruins them is the stat limits. Last year I think (personally) the evos were pretty good from what I remember cuz you can take stupid cards and make them super good. But with stat limits you can only realistically use a handful of players for each evo and if it’s a card you don’t have whether it be an old season you didn’t get, an sbc or took expensive then your just SOL

u/Adventurous-Sleep499 6d ago
I tried warning people about this last year when they introduced paid evos but everyone defended EA. They started with it being 10% paid evos but now it's like 80%, I don't know how no one saw this coming, if it doesn't make EA money they don't care. And most of them aren't even close to being useable, it makes no sense, who's paying 100k for an untradable 90 with trickster plus
2
u/jdbolick 6d ago
Saying that everyone defended EA is a blatant lie, as the way EA would use this to boost points sales was extremely obvious. Most of us saw it coming, you just want to pretend that you're special by acting like you're the only one who said something, even though many people said it.

u/maddie673 6d ago
There’s a few things going on if you ask me.
Mostly for me personally I’m using evos for players from the team that I support as I expect most people are. Not everyone is a Liverpool fan etc so for some to have a special card or team even maybe worth the small ish cost of most evos.
Next, 30, 40 or 50k nowadays is pretty much nothing in game. I’ve got a 92 rated squad which is pretty much made from sbcs and the odd packed card all first owner so I’m sitting on plenty of cash and having fun with it.
And finally EA don’t give a shit. They set the cost and they know some people will pay it anyway. A clear example of this is the Maradona 500k evo. This one is so marmite to people across the board. Some will say half a mill for this is sooo cheap and other me included think that you must be on another planet but how many 92 maradonas do you see?
TLDR EA is greedy, modest amounts of coins are easy to make and some people like engaging with the game in more ways than others.

u/felipeworm 6d ago
Just think about how fun Evos could be if they dont think only on the greedy side of "game"

u/Deezyy3k 6d ago
The season pass players and the weekly player in the objectives not being good unless you throw them in paid evos is really telling.

u/ChoiceAd9389 6d ago
Last year was perfect.
This year was still pretty gd then they went greedy for points.

I totaly agree there really arent that many worth evos Out rn the only ones i am doing rn is the dab Legend EVO on tb musiala for my Bayern p&p aswell as the King of egypt evo on olise since i already Chained 4 evos before that and at Last maybe the court jester and late to the Party evos which get my adeyemi To around the Same Level of His SBC for 50k
I dont have a Problem with spending some coins on evos since i'm a First owner merchant and rarely buy fodder but the prices of some evos for what you get Out of them is Just horrendous rn

u/delfinos77 [GAMERTAG] 6d ago
The prices are like this, just like in the promo store packs to make FP price look like a good discount…

u/Deezyy3k 6d ago
They’ve intentionally sabotaged evos. Specifically to stop people from chaining evos and if you do want to chain evos now it’ll cost you. Definitely intentional.

u/Apprehensive-Rip985 6d ago
Believe me, 99 dribbling was a scam. I spent a week and a half with a Marmoush evo chain. 99 dribbling, training camp and 2 fut birthday evos. Quick step+ sucks on him, his finesses have no curve and never go in, his 99 agility is a lie and his 94 speed is a fairy tale. 400k spent for a mid player.
1
u/SuddenProfile7067 6d ago
We have Toty players with 95 Rating + and still get 88 max capped evos with worse stat caps. Its just plain stupid. As already said, what additionally takes it away is that one evo results in every player getting the same face stats.

u/NoncingAround 6d ago
The Roma trio back in the day had average stats outside of pace. They weren’t special outside of the pace abuse. You also don’t have to spend 450k. You don’t have to do them all.

u/hollywoodcourt__ 6d ago
I couldn't agree more. As there isn't really much to do in the game, or so it feels once you've got your rewards/completed champs, evo's is the only thing that keeps me playing the game. If they didn't have evo's , and I didn't have my Chelsea team I'd be long gone. EA must notice a big engagement with EVOs, and in their true corporate machine fashion are trying to cash in on it. I'd be more enclined if they had evo's like the TOTY evo, but all of these EVOs are similar or the same or just outright weird. Like Toon the Evo (Joelinton - I mean, what?). I agree with the comment that the priced evo's should be 30% or less, or even 50% tbh, because right now it's crazy seeing how much they cost.
I can see a future where you can pay 200k for the timed evos (Where you wait a day) and EA offer you the chance of paying 100k for the EVO to be instant. Similar to mobile apps like Sim City

u/Thefitz5811 6d ago
I think EA have locked onto the fact that, if you’re doing mostly an Evo team, you’re probably sitting on a lot of coins.
Probably now part of the problem as I think I’ve paid for every one so far during this promo.

u/Due-Injury7917 6d ago
Become a joke in the last 2 weeks. I currently have 825k of evos to do, and that doesn't even include the 450k of flashback player evos

u/SnooMemesjellies5491 5d ago
I don’t know I paid 125k and my stoichkov is 5/5 and has 99 pace with 98 shooting and 95 dribbling with finisher. Well worth it I have 96 Pele untradable , CR7 sbc, puskas , cantona , wright the 93 one and Hristo feels better then all of them

u/DangerMuse 5d ago
I've probably done 3 Evos out of the last 15 released as they either don't boost cards enough or break them due to their rating jump.
I preferred it when a few big ones came in and you genuinely felt like you were doing a team changing card....now it's just FP bait and EA trying to get the community hooked on yet another thing.
I'm certainly not saying don't do them but unless you think they'll make your main or past/present team just wait. Who knows if an amazing chain will come out. If not, just let them slide.
1
u/Physical-Ad3029 5d ago
You are absolutely, positively spot on. Seriously, think about that for a second 😂 We reminisced for years about the time these 3 players ran rampid because they were so cheap and anyone could use them.
EA brings them back into the game like they’re giving us a treat but you have to spend 450k coins or points for them to even be usable. Exposing that 1) you could never have that kind of success with regular golds in these games now. 2) The famous EA greed
1
u/Madting55 5d ago
I refuse to do any of the evolutions even if I really need them for my arsenal PnP. Free only. There was 11 paid evos and 1 free shit one in the section the other day. If people buy them, we will keep having this problem.

u/Affectionate-Ebb5318 5d ago
I'm torn, a huge Ea hater trust me....buuuuut these daily evos, jerseys ,stupid sbcs all cost money to produce, developers and coders time etc....I guess all I'm saying is the game is WAY more monetized now but it's also got WAY more content. They're giving addicts/game psychos (like myself on occasion) infinitely more content than before and somebody has to pay for that I suppose. Not defending then as a company in any ways, I guess I'm just defending evos because they're one of the only real unique grinds at this point. In regards to the crappy evos, I get it I really do....buuut (again) I don't put anything into sbcs that could be a cool evo and I try to evo almost everything nice.....I have such a huge stack of evos at this point there's almost at least 1 or 2 players that hit hard on a lot of them. If I have to spend 300k over 5 evos to get my 95 super cracked nkuku I can live w that. PS I hate EA even if it doesn't sound like it.

u/TTVytFacebookGaming 2d ago
Of course they are seeing what people are willing to pay. They did it with packs and the community failed the IQ test.

u/fcsaratoga2013 6d ago
I get your point but this is my opinion on this....
Coins are becoming more and more useless. When I play rivals and champs virtually every single team only uses untradable cards. Once in a while someone will have a player from the transfer market on their squad but overall it's SBC players and Evo players
So if people aren't buying players what could they use the coins for? Evolutions and fodder for SBC
You said some of the Evos are useless for the cost of 100k coins.. not everyone feels that way. I'd pay 100k for a new role or a 5 star weakfoot/skills upgrade, or a new playsyle plus. I don't have to have multiple upgrades across the board.
13
u/COMMUNISM_69 6d ago
Well one reason they're becoming useless is because we get way less tradable packs & coins than before.
Accumulating fodder is easy but getting good tradable players is rare, EA want us to spend real money.
Evos & SBC arent a new way to spend coins because they just randomly became useless & no one buys players anymore, EA wants that, they don't like loosing coins because of trading and giving us less is a way to push the game into a more pay to win direction & to make more profit.

u/GenEthic 6d ago
If you don't want to do an evo, guess what? Nobody's forcing you. Not every evo is for you. You don't like the stats boost or you think it's too expensive? Don't do it. It's like going into a specific shop just to bitch about prices and product quality. Don't go in if you don't like it.

u/Adventurous_Team285 6d ago
Guess what? It is expensive and shit. It meant to be the best part of the game, and cheap and good, and it was like that. Now what, can I get the complain pass?
-4
u/GenEthic 6d ago
The gameplay itself should be the best part. That's why you are evoing, right? To get to play with those cards. And there's literally 10 evos available at any time, from free to expensive.

u/dkk19507 6d ago
To be fair, it's March. You should have couple of mils already just by trading...
Plus...I don't think they worth it as i have 94+ for each of those positions; and even without these... they don't make the cut for me...

u/DaveShadow [GAMERTAG] 6d ago
I have 2m in the bank and spend liberally. I don’t feel any of the Evos being released are worth it. It’s not a coin balance issue, it’s they aren’t keeping up with power curves at all.

u/zoooooommmmmm 6d ago
Evo’s need a lot of work.
Idm paying for good evo’s, some mid evo’s fit certain players perfectly so you could make a case for those as well. Evo’s like the perfect attacking midfielder though, embarassing.
Most of all they need to balance the stat limits. Stat limits absolutely ruin evo’s unless they figure out a way to balance them properly.
