My stance is the same as it’s always been Don’t buy FC Points, I’ve been telling people that for years And if you don’t like the game don’t play it, just uninstall, again I’ve been saying that for years I don’t understand why people play a game they apparently hate and ruins their weekend (except when it’s their job) I’ve stopped playing all other video games and it’s been great for my mental health As for Nick specifically, I think what he said was incredibly divisive and fuelled a tonne of hate I initially had a go at him for it assuming he was being antagonistic on purpose, in hindsight I jumped to conclusions too early when doing a reactionary emotional response to it, and I should have been a lot nicer because whilst I was right that it was super divisive it was wrong to assume he did it on purpose

Doesn't it benefit all of us. And isn't it wrong for the people who couldn't get the rewards, they couldn't get it just because they were sleeping? Ea is gonna run away again just because yall refuse to unite and its sad :(

@@anupampramanik7728 he's not letting EA have the last laugh man. What he means by divisive is that people were picking sides like we don't all want the same thing. Going into other steamers and comments and abusing them, when that should actually be directed in a completely different way. It happens all the time in politics, in the US, we have a 2 party system, and liberals and republicans essentially hate each other simply based on that core belief even if they don't even know the other person. That is EXACTLY the type of division that keeps things the same election after election. If we want real change, it takes EVERY single person (not just content creators) taking a stance against store packs and hurting EA in their wallets. Not only that, but pushing for legislators to get off of their asses to crack EA for their gambling bullshit marketed to children. FC points are a joke, and it's a slippery slope for people that are susceptible. We're all on the same side, the abuse against people doing their jobs or playing the game they want to play needs to stop.

This is AJ3's 693rd squad builder showdown on this channel

Flair also improves volleys, also unlocks some new animations, pops up all the time when I’m going for leaping volleys with Cruyff

surprised these ones aren’t red 😉

Regardless of you position I’ll keep supporting the channel i myself stopped playing fc and stand strongly with nick but I still enjoy watching all my fav creators

I haven't touched the game in months due to the state of it but I will always watch sbsd always the best series

keep up the good work man much love

Hi Andy! As a longtime fan of you and Nick, I'm curious to know your thoughts on Nick's recent statements. I saw in a previous reply on this video that you felt it was divisive and drew a line in the sand between EA-sponsored creators and those not affiliated. While I agree that his initial statement was not worded in the best way, I still feel that his intentions were right in what he was saying. I think it was worded harshly out of frustration with the lack of public criticism of EA from said EA partners. I understand it's not that black and white but it does seem that EA has something akin to a gag order on its partners. That doesn't seem fair to you all as creators because we all know you care about the game/gameplay equally as much but because you're seemingly not allowed to criticize them, it puts you at odds with those who do criticize them. Regarding two of your other points made in that comment to another user (1. Not buying FC points and 2. Uninstalling), I think you're missing the mark of what is frustrating that side of the community. 1. Not buying FIFA points is one thing, and it's something you've stood by for years. You only do it for content because it's your job, not because it's a practical use of money. I think almost all creators are of that opinion. However, the recent Champs rewards debacle highlights this issue for me. It's not so much about buying FC points as it is about the shift away from rewards related to gameplay or from SBC/Objectives to these inflated store packs which are outright predatory. Fair rewards/equal weight would make the game more rewarding as it bridges the gap between gameplay and menus. Yet it's clear that EA does not want these parts of the game to be fair for users as it instead drives them to store packs (highlighted by their massive earnings despite average users and copies sold being markedly down). Being ignorant of the manipulative nature of these packs and dismissing it with "just don't do it" is fairly disingenuous as it blames the victims rather than the root cause of this issue. 2. As for "just uninstall if you don't like it;" that is very blind to a very glaring issue. It's akin to "Oh you're critical of society yet you still participate in it, how interesting." Of course, nobody is forced to play this game but when there's a lack of competitors, it creates a pseudo-monopoly on football games. This point is unlikely to change until the market is saturated with competitors that force EA's hand to make improvements. Furthermore, we're critical of this game and hate the current state that it's in because we know it could be so much better if the community was led by a company that cared about them equally. This dynamic can be seen in countless other AAA titles where the company responsible carefully considers community feedback. The community loves football and wants it to be an enjoyable experience. This same passion is also what drives such negative energy from within, mainly due to the lack of implementation and community consideration when making changes to the game. So while you can be critical without playing the game, it's very difficult to form educated criticisms without experiencing it yourself or being told how to feel about it by a creator. As players, we feel there is no connection to EA. They are just some ambiguous, monolithic, multi-billion dollar corporation. But creators are distinct figureheads to whom the community can express themselves in hopes that the creator can use their platform to make positive changes for their viewers. This brings me back full circle to my initial point. While I think Nick's initial statement was divisive in wording, I think the message was to create solidarity between the creators and their viewers. Regardless of affiliation, creators should not be scared to make their thoughts public, especially if it's critical of EA. I don't think this means that creators who don't should be bombarded with hate by any means either. However, that same sentiment does not abstain creators from FAIR criticism if the community feels that a creator is not using their platform to advocate for them. I hope this reaches you with only the best of intentions and I look forward to possibly hearing your thoughts regarding this.

Creators have every right to not want to criticize EA publicly if they lose sponsors they'll lose their livelihood? Andy would probably be fine but smaller creators quite literally cannot afford to do that

That’s an very well thought out message mate I appreciate it Replying to most of it I would just be repeating myself from the pinned comment though, so the only extra thing I will say is EA do absolutely not have gag orders. Did you not listen to the intro of this video that was filmed before all the drama? 😅

Ye my boy andy❤

Fair play to Cieran Slicker. Gone from playing football with FG to celebrating promotion with Ed Sheeran. Genuinely a proper sound geezer as well.

Bateson with an absolutely incredible kit, he’s never looked better

Andy is spot on about flair bc salah toty mentiones is crazy abot finisesa

Love to se Baldini on squad builder showdown 🎉

Yes, I am back Andy 😉 Nice to see Bateson using me at RB

Goat is back

Still waiting for an sbsd where they build teams as usual but the game is computer on computer and they just watch and react

eusebio is becoming the new TOTY lahm 😂😂

andys lookin more and more like ted lasso day by day

It is so obvious that Andy did not know of Lala. He just saw his historical card on Fut bin and shouted has has been Silver for so long

i think the finesse thing is potential shot power

it was called niangolan's niinjas andy, been here since reev was a fifa youtuber :D love the content

It’s TOTS I wish you would do more than 1-2 SBSD a week! It’s my favourite FIFA series

@AJ3 where are the streams? I'm a bit bored without

At some point we are going to get the first player with 99 in every stat and/or the first 100 rated player in history on console

The best trivelas I’ve used so far is tots Xavi Simons. He literally scores every one

The most interesting thing is when he had concept mbappe on reserves

this video was very good video well done aj3

I don’t know where else to stay this I quit playing for two weeks reinstalled and opened two gamble packs the weekly tots upgrade and the tots Bundesliga upgrade and got tots CR7 and tots wirtz

Mo salah TOTYHM is so OP for finessing shots. Got him in a player pick and he is so good

i got red zaire emery and david, was buzzing but my mate did get 9 win and get dembele loll

@aj3 song at 5:10 please?

i noticed hagi & dybala 90 potm hit finesse shots from distance the best , pine is third imo

I've always thought the players who get discarded through being picked should be put back in the team at the end for the discard

You’re a top man Andy. Handled this like a proper scouser. A man of the people. Love from Manchester. ❤️

SBSD is the best series!! Wish Bateson would set up F8tal again.

I must have a dud because my red Sancho is pants at finesse shots despite having finesse+. He is very good anyway but his finesse is terrible

Andy at centre back if you are ever using a team using Bundesliga players and three are Bayern, try putting viggosdottir She has long ball plus, anticipate plus and aerial plus, she’s provided the best long balls and revolutionised my whole team

you made us wait alright !!!!!

Santos has flair and her finesses are crazy too
