I wanted to like this game, loved the Adidas element, even bought the battle pass as I was the impressed with it.
After 5 days of playing it, I've put the controller down on it for good. Constantly coming up against teams who have 5 or 6 players worth well over 20m each while I have one good player a RB who I felt I really had to grind for.
To me it is still pay to win, and if you buy the premium status you can buy players alot faster, I have played for 2hrs this morning and not won a game after winning 9/10 on the bounce because it's now putting my lowly team up against rapid kids. What started out as an alt to EA's cash grab has very very quickly turned into an EA clone. If they sort it out and make it fun again I will return but as it is, I won't be back due to this.
It is no longer a tactical game of football it's a hump it out to the fast forwards and run past defenders, never knowing if they are onside or offside as the lino doesn't raise his flag.
Give it a go but prob best to avoid.
