Classic cash grab, not too surprised.
Yet people keep buying these games.
- Despite some of the players complaining, a lot of the audience likes the pay-to-win mechanic. It's not a game funded purely by whales; a lot of average players will spend money on the loot boxes. "I like that it means I don't have to grind for ages, I don't have time for that" and "it feels like the sports trading cards I had when I was a kid" are a couple of the reasons I hear somewhat regularly. The idea that it could be designed to not be grindy in the first place doesn't even occur to them.
  
  Very true.
  It's also kinda sad.

  Orphan crushing machine vibes.
- I am trying to convince my best friend to not buy the same cashgrab game every year but my mans just can't stop himself. At least he doesn't partake in any microtransactions.
The fact that they artificially boosted all women stats to unrealistic levels and then allowed to mix them with men players is simply ridiculous.
- Yeah. That is whats ridiculous with ultimate team /s
  
  There are multiple things ridiculous about ultimate team and the game in general, I just added another one.
- The fact that this bothers you says everything.
  Seriously though, what does it matter? Like at all?
  
  The fact that this bothers you says everything.
  Says what exactly?
  What's wrong with what I wrote? A football simulation that's trying to accurately reflect players' skills for men, gives an unrealistically boosted skills to women players. Why?
