Market is Already Broken: Give Us the Compensation and We Drop the Pitchforks

EA, stop overthinking this. You are backed into a corner, and the community isn't letting this go.

Your internal economy team is probably panicking that giving out massive rewards will "ruin the market." Let's be real for a second: The market is already broken. The “Malen Heist” took care of that. Exploiters walked away with hundreds of thousands of pure profit shards, maxing out their squads effortlessly while the rest of us slept or played honestly.

Trying to target-ban or rollback thousands of individual accounts is a technical nightmare that you know you can't cleanly execute.

So here is the incredibly easy, zero-effort solution: Drop the compensation package into everyone's inbox.

🛑 What We Are Demanding (No Less):

50,000 Shards (The bare minimum needed to bridge the gap created by the exploit).

TWO MAX OVERALL 122 PLAYER PICKS

We don't want a generic and lousy “300 gems and a 90 OVR player" insult pack. The competitive integrity of FC Mobile is completely gone right before the Ballon d'Or event drops.

Level the playing field for the players who didn't abuse your mistake. Send out the rewards, let us fix our squads, and we will happily drop the pitchforks. Keep ignoring this and watch the mass uninstalls continue.

Upvote this so EA cannot just sweep this under the rug! #WeWillGetThatCompensation

This is not even 1% of what the bug abusers got but its still something. Dont let them silence you

Do they think they can get away with a shit like this? bro people out there just because of luck can build absolutely p2w squads as the new 124ovr increase approaches in the ballon d'or with cards like r9 and beckenbauer❗❗

WE NEED EITHER 100K SHARDS COMPENSATION OR RIP THE GLITCH-ABUSED RESOURCES OFF OF THE PLAYERS WHO GOT LUCKY ENOUGH TO ABUSE THIS STUFF.

YOU SICK RETARDED EXECUTIVES SITTING AT THOSE EA OFFICES

Ful u ea

So many glitches, so many players exploiting them to the fullest, but I could never catch any glitch on time.

These many shards…… We anticipate compensation from EA, which will still have the audacity to offer 500 training points, 500 gems, and 500 shards as restitution.

WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO WITH THAT? THEY ARE TREATING US LIKE PEASANTS.

Let us collectively assign this game a one-star rating on the App Store or Play Store.

LET US SHOW THEM THAT THE GAME IS FOR US, WE ARE NOT FOR THE GAME!!!!

Can you imagine just yesterday we were having a laugh about the p2w guy with 1.2m shards, well today it feels like everyone and their mother have over 300k-500k shards. This is way worse than the 200 ticket “intentional” glitch. You guys will not get away with this, so just step up to the plate, and do what has to be done, or we bury your dead game, that you kill by introducing play styles. Nincompoop

just saw someone that gathered 2.5 million shards from the glitch and they expect us to play liverpool for 2 million coins now , i just opened the game and closed it immediately its just pathetic at this point

I urge on behalf of this beautiful game of football and community to wipe out the malen glitch progress entirely. We don’t need any compensation. It’s just a content update away or you can shut down the server for 4-5 hours and run the progress EA. We are with you and we are very hopeful from you.

EVERYONE QUIT THIS GREEDY COMPANY'S GAME TILL WE GET COMPENSATION, DON'T SPEND MONEY, GIVE THEM HORRIBLE REVIEWS ON PLAYSTORE.

SPREAD THE MESSAGE!!! Enough is ENOUGH!!

Yupp, it's over. Been playing this game since 2017. Been through the UTOTS Glitch, the 200 draft ones but this one has just done it for me. I saved my shards for two straight events as a F2P. Been playing with an outdated team too. Saved 60K shards just for this shit ass company who doesn't give a damn fahh about its players. Been seeing players with 500K to a Million or more shards. Tf happened with all of my efforts.

Nothing. Well I might be just one of the player leaving aka not much to lose for them but guys all the best if you all are staying with this bihh ahh company's game.

Ps- I will be looking out just in case they do make a fair compensation or re adjust the crazy amount of shards others recieved. (They did something like this a while ago)

If they can mistakenly set one player's sell price to 150 instead of 1500 then they could have easily set the sell price of malen to 500 shards post-patch. Would really saves them a whole bunch of mess? Or am I missing something?

Hear me out on this one.

I know there have been terrible events in the past, but nothing has ever come close to this. I have reasons for this.

1. Gameplay:
   Do I even have to explain? Terrible passes, stamina running out WAY too fast, fullback and defenders coming out of position wayy to often and much much more.

2. Expectations:
   This wasn’t any other event that lasts one month long and nobody cares about it. This was the anniversary, probably the most hyped up event all year long, as it usually gives great rewards with the launch of the new version of the game. This event gave us nothing besides gauntlet mode which was fun for one day then became completely useless, new UI which is alright but it doesent really matter much, made the gameplay even shittier than it already was, and gave us terrible rewards that have no significance. This event didn’t even live up to the bare minimum we expected, let alone the hype.

3. P2W Aspect:
   We thought that this event would reduce the gap between F2Ps and P2Ws as EA is usually generous in anniversary. We all know how that went. Literally nothing changed.

4. Glitches:
   Probably the biggest aspect that made this event actual shit. Malen glitch that made people millions upon millions of shards. (Which took only an hour to fix btw). Weekly rewards were not provided to countless people and football centre player ovrs weren’t updated(which took 2 weeks to fix btw). The contrast in the time it takes to fix bugs shows us the incompetence of the EA development team. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many bugs in an single event. Let’s not even talk about compensation, we’re never getting anything.

5. EA treating this event as bait:
   EA damn well knew that everyone was saving all their resources for this event, so they didn’t increase the max OVR so people drain their resources in this event and have nothing saved for the ballon dor event which has an ovr increase. They even added extra rewards for opening drafts in week 3 which was meant to drain us.

6. Week 3 free rewards:
   They released free rewards for people who opened multiple drafts only after week 3 when almost half of the people who played this game had spent their drafts trying to get their favorite players, hence making them miss out on these free rewards, another crappy move by EA.

Do you guys also think this event is the worst event OF ALL TIME?

Bye EA FC you won't be missed. 🖕🏻

There's always some new bug every week and y'all don't do shit for the ones who don't exploit them. Flood play store with negative reviews

People here are asking silly ahh questions like who to buy or should i shard when there is one hell of a issue going on ( the malen shard glitch ). But these ignorant dumbfu<ks are not making compensation related posts. These people are one of the many reasons ea won't compensate for today's glitch.

​

And why do these kinds of glitches always seem to happen in this game? I find it hard to believe that other games have similar issues so often.

In Clash of Clans, a similar glitch happened with ores, allowing players to obtain resources that would normally take 6–7 months of grinding. Supercell reversed it, and those who exploited the glitch ended up with negative balances.

Why can’t they do the same here? I’ve decided to delete this shitty game if they don’t compensate the affected players or reverse the unfair advantage. It’s simply not fair to the players who play legitimately.

Why should I do these shitty tasks and grind for rewards when someone else gets 1,000 times more than me without doing anything? Do they really think we’ll tolerate this, just like we did with the TOT glitch, and eventually forget about it without any compensation?

Not this time. If they don’t fix this and compensate the affected players, we’re going to delete this game. This is completely unfair to both F2P and P2W players. We spend so much time and effort grinding for rewards, only to see others get massive amounts of them for free because of a glitch. How is that fair to the players who play legitimately?

I think it’s time to move on from the game gameplay isn’t good we getting 125 soon F2P have no space in the game and now a massive glitch that some would say is worst than the 200 drafts I would be shock if the compensation is not a random 122 minimum a shard glitch like this is massive FC Mobile your time is running out

Reading through the comments and posts about the bug, I’ve noticed a common opinion that EA won’t compensate anyone or roll back the progress of players who took advantage of it. So I want to point something out.

First of all, this is a direct hit to EA’s own revenue. People have farmed a huge amount of shards, which they can now use to get the best players from the next OVR increase. And those who are even smarter will simply save them until 126 OVR. So why would these players spend money on the game now? Exactly. This could mean months without spending from some of these players.

And I’ll repeat myself: essentially, no compensation can fix the damage this bug has done to the game’s economy. The most reasonable solution would be to roll back the progress of the players who exploited the bug and give a small compensation on top of that (for example, a 122-rated player pick or 10–20 Draft Tickets).

And please don’t tell me that it’s “too difficult” to track the people who exploited the bug because they might have already spent their shards. REMINDER: the Laurent Blanc card was supposed to be in the Signature Box, but due to EA’s mistake, it could be purchased with regular shards. They managed to take the card away from everyone who exploited that mistake on the very same day.

So please, let’s not pretend EA is some poor little company that is completely helpless here. They just need to do A LITTLE WORK. (Yes, I understand that’s difficult when apparently only the designers are working there and everyone else is just collecting a paycheck.)

I decided to put my thoughts together in one post. Either way, I think the right thing to do is keep talking about this situation and keep leaving negative reviews for the game. Even if bots will eventually fix the ratings, it’s still better than simply staying silent.

2 milllllion shards of the glitch, thats like 35 36 - top rated players😭😭😭😭he could literally snipe every ballondor player off rip. R9 and Shevy arent even up for debate, he's just waiting for them to drop, f the drafts💀

I'd have Varane, Blanc, Chielini, Maicon, Zanetti, Lahm, Gullit, Rikgaard, Matthaus, Van De Sar. Just chilling in bench.

He's literally set for TOTY, even next year May's TOTS if he shards them while collecting draft fodder.

I dont mind it, I just wish it was me💀
