 Hey guys, it's Nate, A.K. The Foot Account, and welcome back to the channel. We are starting off today's video with a huge piece of information about FIVA 23. Yes, FIVA 23. I know we are still about seven months away from another game of FIVA, and we're still in the heart of FIVA 22, but there's some huge information about FIVA 23 being cross-platform that I wanna talk about today and just kind of initial thoughts, kind of put this out there. We have this article, we have this information, kind of talking through what this means, how it could affect the game and the market in general, right? We talk a lot about the market on this channel, and we have to talk about how the cross-platform aspect of a FIVA Ultimate team would impact the market a little bit. So just kind of some preliminary thoughts based off of a couple of these articles here from this website. I'll leave all the links to these in the description. We're of course still gonna talk about FIVA 22 Silver Stars, what's going on in the market a little bit later on the video, but for starters, we have to look at this game break and information for FIVA 23 because at first I was a bit skeptical of this. I was like, man, is this article actually legit? And then I went and did some digging. I'm seeing this flying around the internet like crazy. Bleacher reports posting about this, it's getting posted everywhere, and that really makes me think that it's legit. And also I looked into this guy, Tom Henderson. He's also the same guy that had leaked information from EA Sports, leaked comments from the CEO Andrew Wilson saying that the license deal, right? That's a big thing about FIVA 23 as well. Is it actually gonna be called FIVA 23? And this is an article from last week saying that, the four letter words on the front of the box is the biggest benefit to that licensing deal to EA. So this is a legit article, this is a legit information and it's huge, right? This has been something that people have been wanting for so long and FIFA is the cross-platform nature and that is what he says inside of this article. One of the biggest changes to this year's FIFA title is that it will feature cross-play for the first time in the series history, bringing FIFA players across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms together for all of the titles, game modes. Yes, that would mean Ultimate Team, Pro Clubs, everything would be cross-platform, which is a W. And we've been wanting this for so long because so many other games have moved in this direction and we were waiting for EA Sports to kind of make this switch because right now, there's a lot of things on FIFA that just seem very inconsistent and between the different consoles, especially PC, and especially market related between the different platforms on prices, on how they value SBCs, how the market reacts and stuff like that. So this is absolutely massive, right? This is huge, huge, huge information. Now, the best thing about this is, you think about FIFA and the state that it is in right now, especially in the spring months that we are, we're not the team of the season yet, we're inside of this promo that is not very hyped for everybody, it's just hyped for some people. And you think about, it'd be way easier to find games right now if I was on the PlayStation or if I was not on Xbox or not on PC, it'd be so much easier for me to find games in any different timeframe or time zone if there was just more people to search from, right? And you think about when you play Call of Duty or some of these other games that have already adapted the cross-platform nature to them, that's definitely a positive of going cross-platform, it's easier to find games, it's way easier to link up with your friends, right? Now, I would assume that co-op would be a part of this as well, so you wanna go in and play co-op games that division rivals and you wanna play with your buddy, well, you're able to, right? You're able to play co-op together, so that's a really cool feature. I think that's the biggest part about this, it's a W, right? It's gonna be easier to find games, easier to play with your friends, and hopefully there's no caveats to this, right? Like hopefully there's not, okay, you can't do co-op cross-console, if you wanna do co-op, it has to be on the same console, hopefully that is not an issue. And I wanna take a look at the market aspect and talk about this as well. Of course, the market on FIFA 22 has been so crazy with everything, prices being so much cheaper this year with so much more supply with preview packs and all of that, and you take a look at prices on the market and you notice that there's always some pretty big discrepancies. Now I'm gonna try to find a quick example of a card that would have a pretty big discrepancy. Let's go like, maybe for an icon, let's go like Wayne Rooney, right? Icons seem to have pretty big price discrepancies, 625,000 coins on the PlayStation and it's 840,000 coins on the Xbox and still about 600K on PC. I mean, there's always big changes and some cards on PlayStation are more expensive, some cards on Xbox are more expensive, it just depends and when you would have, I'm assuming that going cross-platform, as it says here across all title game modes, I find it really hard to believe that you would have a cross-platform game with cross-platform gameplay and separate markets. I really don't think that's possible. So that's why I'm assuming that there is gonna be a cross-platform market. Now, how would that feel, right? Of course, it'd be so much easier for E8 of price SBCs. When you take a look at some of these active challenges for SBCs, especially for like the icons, like the Desi-E SBC is 740,000 coins and 771,000 coins on the Xbox. Now, if we take a look at the Prime Desi-E card right now, he's 700K on the PlayStation, 683 on the Xbox, but there's been other icon SBCs that have been released especially for some top tier icon cards. Let's see, maybe like a little bit more expensive one like Zidane, right? Zidane is 1.8 million to do as an SBC on the PlayStation, but he's like 1.8 million to do on the Xbox as well. And he's always been a couple hundred thousand coins cheaper on the Xbox, but yet the SBC when it drops is still the same price for both consoles, right? That's where it's gonna be nice is where you have, prices on Xbox are sometimes cheaper for some of these big time meta icons. It's like the reason why I picked out that Wayne Rooney is because English icons for some reason seem to be more expensive on the Xbox, which is very interesting. So I think you'd have a way more level playing field when it comes to SBC prices. And of course it would be crazy for SBC fodder in general, you know fodder has had so many fluctuations this year and already it's so expensive right now at this very point in time on this game. And but that thing, I think that would be a benefit, right? Having the market be universal, it'd be so much easier to even remember player prices and think about, hey, this card's a good buy. Hey, this card's not a good buy. And it'd be so much easier to track if it was all together on one market. Now the market would be so competitive. And that would be the thing that a lot of people who are used to maybe the PS market, sorry, the PC market or the Xbox market would notice that the cards are just, there's so many more cards and the competition is so much higher which would, it would be crazy. It'd be really, really crazy. Trying to snipe cards would be so difficult. You add in the equation of bots in there plus, you know, tons more people from both PC and Xbox trying to maybe snipe that card at the same time. That's gonna make sniping some of these items really interesting if this were to all play through and play out. But I still think that it would be a W overall. It would take a little bit to get used to. But the fact that it'd be easier to find games, there'd be a universal market which would be a lot easier to keep track of from everybody's perspective. You wouldn't have to try to remember, especially if you're somebody who like posts buy prices for certain cards, you wouldn't have to try to remember to, you know, okay, he's 200,000 coins on Xbox and 150K on PlayStation or something like that. You wouldn't have to remember those discrepancies. You would have one price on the market for the card and that is kinda nice. So that is the article. Again, I'll put a link down below to this if you wanna read through the full thing. There's some other cool stuff in here, right? FIFA 23 will contain both men and women's world cupboards with EA expanding its licensed partnerships. Now again, this seems to be all 100% accurate, true and correct as it's been posted around the internet a ton. Not that you can use that as the basis, but the people that are posting this out and from the track record of this Tom Henderson has been posting a lot of stuff so far. This seems to have some pretty close ties with EA. That's why we're talking about this today and that's why we can put a decent amount of trust in it that this is factual information and cover it here on the channel. So that's just kind of what I wanted to talk about a little bit related to FIFA 23. I know it's not for a long time, but you know, that's kind of the news right now and of course, content inside of FIFA 22 as we transitioned over to that is still going slower than a lot of people would like it to be since we are still inside the Silver Stars series promo. We did get a couple. Actually, I think we had three new players yesterday. We had the Marco Royce SBC. We had the center back Marcelin and we had a new objective center back as well. Those were the powerhouses released yesterday. Now again, you take a look at these card prices and you notice they are so cheap, right? I think the biggest downside of yesterday's content was the Royce is a right mid instead of a center attacking mid like some people was hoping that he would be. But again, it's a flashback to Royce's days in 2009, 2010 season with Borussia Muchengladbach where he was on the right side. So this card, honestly, this Marco Royce might be on par, if not just as good as his Champions League road to the knockout card just because of that pace. And it's a really, really good Silver item and it's 12,000 coins to do. I mean, 8,900 coins for this Marcelin center back card. Seriously, it's just so cheap, right? That's the biggest W of all the Silver content. I know it's Silver's, but that is a huge W. We did get our Origi upgrade tonight. So Origi got plus two pace. I actually have this card on my team. He went from 95 pace to 97. EA gave this card a really nice boost. He got 82 passing, 91 shooting, 90 dribbling, 89 physical. So this card looks 99 sprint speed on this item after the upgrade, 97 shot power, 92 finishing, 93 attack positioning. Dribbling stats look really good. Of course, he's still not gonna be the most agile card in the game, but that Origi upgrade plus two that happened as we expected it to is now live in the game. So that's nice. A lot of people are enjoying that upgrade on that card right there. Now also yesterday, we had a Gamble Pack, SBC. I guess you could call this a Gamble Pack, right? We had the 85 plus triple upgrade that was released. And to a lot of fodder investors' joy, I guess you could say, to their happiness, you saw a double informed requirement for this SBC. Although, informs didn't really rise yesterday because of this SBC. Now, obviously, there's nothing in packs right now, right? So opening an 85 plus triple upgrade right now, there's not a ton of hype for it. And SBC fodder is so expensive. If you actually take a look at the price of this on Footbin, it's like 60 or 70,000 coins to complete. 71K to complete this SBC for 385 rated players or above, right? Imagine opening this pack right now and getting 385 rated cards. That's literally about 36,000 coins worth of card value back. And you're turning in an SBC for 70K. So this is not a really good value SBC. As you can see, it's downvoted 70%. Now all I'll say this is we're probably gonna have a normal promo this Friday, right? And then I'm gonna do this. I'm just not gonna do it right now. You might have some silvers in the club still that you could turn into that 81 plus double upgrade if that's still available to you or potentially rabble's rewards this week. Maybe footchamps, qualifying rewards. You get a couple, 83, 84, 85 rated cards and there may be a snag and inform from the team of the week. And you can go do this SBC for less than 20K. If you have to go buy a few cards for it or even if you trade and make some coins and then afford the SBC by doing it that way. I think this SBC is a good one to save for the next upcoming promo because again, you don't wanna open this and right now in general I'd be saving all your packs anyway, right? I accidentally opened a mega pack from objectives today and I ended up, I did end up getting two walkouts but if you're getting packs from objectives or if you're getting packs from SBCs you might as well be saving those right now because there's seriously nothing in packs and we're just kind of waiting towards the end of this week as we get more information about what this next promo might be. Now, today on Tuesday, I don't really have any information about what cards are gonna be coming for the Silver Stars. We should get two to three more of those today. One of the big things about the content today is the mid icon player pick is expiring. If you have SBC fodder, I mean honestly, I'd be looking to take the cash not just because this player pick is going away, if it comes out again and gets re-released which I would be a little bit surprised with because I believe that would be like the third time that it would have been re-released because it's been out twice now, I believe. I don't exactly remember but SBC fodder is so high that I would be looking to take the cash on some of this stuff. I mean, I know again, like I said, there's still a prime icon upgrade that is out, that is non-repeatable though and I could see another icon SBC coming in today but I would start to think about selling off some of these cards that are just stupidly high in price. Harry Kane out of packs for his gold card is 80K, right? 80K, Ter Stegen's 70,000 coins and you have 88 rated cards that are 42K a piece. It's crazy, right? They're up like 15K from where they were on last Friday or 13 to 15K a piece from where they were. It's crazy how much these cards have risen. So with all the packs that are being saved up for this weekend and with a new promo coming with lightning rounds potentially and stuff like that, the prices on fodder are going to be a bubble this week. It's definitely gonna be a sell time. I'm just kinda starting to tell you that, hey, this week, especially maybe today, tomorrow, Thursday for sure, start to get that stuff out, maybe even today and tomorrow. It would be the days that I would focus on if you have some of this fodder, taking the cash on it because I feel like that's the safe play. Again, I don't know what kind of SBC they're gonna be releasing today, if they're gonna re-release that mid-icom player pick. Footshare, I did tweet out and say tomorrow will be a great day, see you guys soon. Don't know what that means. Again, you can read into that as much as you want. I'm not gonna read into it too much until we actually see some legit leaks or legit information. But that also has me taking the cash on some of my other cards that I had bought. I bought some Kakarais and I bought some Genduzis on Sunday night because when the Cyprian Silver card dropped on the game, actually a lot of these cards dropped in price, which is crazy. So I bought some Kakarais at like 215, 210,000 coins, selling these in the 230s. I got some Genduzis at 300K flat, selling these in the 320 to 330 range just because I'm gonna get some of my coins back. Now, I wanna talk road to the finals here for a second too because of course, as we look forward to the end of this weekend, we're like, yeah, Nate, I've invested in some of these road to the finals as well. What should I be doing with these cards that I've bought? Taliso's at 150, 160, right? He's 200K. Quadrado at 140, he's now 175. Denier at 60,000 coins. He is now like 100K. A lot of this stuff, I'm probably gonna continue to hold. The number one thing that is kind of the caveat this weekend is how high is this promo gonna be? Oh, we have Man of the Match card designs in here now. UECL Man of the Match, that's nice. Okay, did they just add one Man of the Match card design in your EA Sports? Wow, okay, you need to add also the Champions League card design and the Europa League because there's more than just, anyways, that needs to be added in soon if it has not been already, which I don't see it, but EA, please add more of the Man of the Match designs here into the search queue. But for road to the finals, it all depends on the promo this weekend. That's the bottom line is if the promo this weekend is really hype, there's gonna be some of these cards that drop, but then also there's gonna be some of these that rise back up into next week. So a week from now on Tuesday, we're gonna be having Champions League games again because there will be potential double upgrades on the line for cards like Tuliso, cards like Mares, cards like Kim Pembe, who have not gotten any upgrades yet, and we've been waiting for the second leg for them to get that first knockout win upgrade, or of course, to advance to the quarterfinals, which would be a double upgrade potential, right? That's where the big money on some of these cards could be and since a lot of people are probably gonna be selling off towards this weekend, some people are still gonna be selling, right? Like, look at this person here. All these Tulisos listed at three hours and 23 minutes. This is an investor. This is an absolute investor. See, second owner, no games played. Purely a sign of somebody who invested in like 15 of these Tulisos and they have them all listed and they're holding Tuliso's price at 200K, right? Because nobody else is listing under 200K. That's kind of his market value. So it's holding his price right there at the moment. But, you know, if you have, it all depends on how many coins you have too. You wanna be smart. Like, of course, I have got a lot of coins. So holding onto a few of these is not, you know, that detrimental to me. And here's one thing that was, one way that I was thinking of it as well, right? Gareth Bale right now is like 230,000 coins. And as I mentioned, Tuliso is like 150K. I bought these cards basically at their all-time low point while they were in packs. Let's say for some reason, this would be absolutely insane. Let's say Byron Luz. Let's say Byron Luz, this card is no longer a live upgradeable item in FIFA 22. All of a sudden, this card's dropping off in price because people are selling it. They're paying to sell on their investments. I'm happy with that 150,000 coin price range. Because especially for a guy like Gareth Bale, who's not expecting to get an upgrade, right? Of course, they're playing PSG in the second leg at home against Real Madrid. So, yeah, at home against Real Madrid. So there's more upside for this card like Gareth Bale. If they were to somehow come back and win the game and move on, he would end up getting a plus two and his card price would go to the moon. So kind of calculating in that potential reward was also the risk and probably the expected outcome of Bale not getting upgraded and Real Madrid being knocked out of the Champions League. I don't expect in the event of that happening that Gareth Bale would go back below 200,000 coins. I feel like people would see that card at 200,000 coins as a Gareth Bale, the only special card that he has in this game. And he might get back down right close to 200,000 coins, but I think then after that, he wouldn't really go much lower than that just because that card for 200K would be too cheap for me, people would see that and be like, okay, yes, this guy's knocked out, but if you want him for your team, his price has dropped down, it's a good time to buy because people know that there's panic selling after when a team gets knocked out of the Champions League on this type of card. So that's kind of my thought process with a Gareth Bale. I'm gonna hold it, hope for something amazing to happen and just for his card to continue to ride and rise. And I've already sold some of the ones that I wanted to get out, right? I sold my Havertz to like 250, 260 that I bought in the 220s, that was a W. I bought a Eurente today at 688, sold them for 740. I sold the Mane card a little bit too early to be honest, but if you're in the profit in general needs and you want the coins, you can take the coins. I just wanna kind of lay out that situation for you with like Gareth Bale and Taliso and stuff because it just depends, right? These are lab cards, it depends on how their teams perform, but that's part of the fun in these, right? Too, and that's why their prices fluctuate a lot on the market. Now, we'll keep an eye on them throughout the rest of this week as this new promo comes out, whatever it is, the what if promo, people talking about for birthday, we'll probably focus on that a little bit more tomorrow into Wednesday, Thursday timeframe as we actually get closer to Friday, maybe have some more leaks, loading screens, stuff like that. But for now, take the cash on some of the stuff while it's high in the market, maybe some fodder especially, maybe some of those out of pack special cards as well with new promo cards coming. You just never know what kind of items are gonna get released up or released out and always list for lazies. Take a look at this, Don Ruma, 277,000 coins for a Don Ruma that I've held on my transfer list for about a month now after a team of the year. I had five, now I'm down to three, right? Cause I got a lazy sale. So keep listing that stuff up, you'll get some sales cause the market is still high, people have coins that are going out and they're trying cards. But that's kind of a full circle on the video for today. FIFA 23 news at the top, had to talk about that cause there's a lot going on and that could impact the game a lot, right? I just wanted to get some of my preliminary thoughts and get that information to you because it is being talked about a little bit more. Then of course talk about the Silver Star series promo and again, we're just chucking towards Friday. We're really chucking towards Friday where we'll get back into the normal swing of things for a big promo. Although I did get De Bruyne, Pogba, Elanga, Cherokee, Joe Wellington. I got a lot of silver cards in the club now. Silver Star's team is looking fire. So if you enjoyed this video, put a thumbs up on it. Comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new. It's been Nathan Putter Count and I'll catch you guys later. Peace.
