 Hey guys, this is Nate, AKA the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Preseason is, of course, in full swing. We had the first day of the promo yesterday. I wanna talk about the content that we expected that was received and also some of the things that they are doing or maybe not doing with this preseason promo that are maybe, I guess, unexpected, we didn't see it coming. And also, a new pack code that has been added that could be dropped today that would actually be a really good shot at packing a really high rated card because they put a few more cards in packs than what we kind of thought. So I wanna take a look at these rewards that are available from preseason week one, right? They're splitting this up into a three week promo. Basically what it's gonna lead up to is right before FIFA 22. This is the legit FIFA 22 preseason because again, three weeks from now it's gonna be September 17th and that's gonna be like five days before the web app drops. So that is kind of what this promo is again, just leading us right up until FIFA 22. So just as we expected, it is play FIFA 21 and earn rewards in 21 and 22. Now, in my opinion, the rewards that we have here, at least one piece of these is better than what we had last year from FIFA 20 going into 21. So I like a couple of things that are in here. We'll talk about it because also for specifically one of these rewards and one of the objectives available, it's not that big of a grind. But first here are the rewards. Five games, a thousand coin boost times two, right? This is attainable through the warm-up daily SBCs. You have to complete five in a row to earn the foot 22 coin boost reward. Now here's my thought, right? You have to do five different SBCs and you have to do them all. A set of five, if you miss one, you don't get the coin boost. I'm not a fan of this because if you start this you're locked in and it just seems like turning in five different SBC squads for 10,000 coins that you have to go and play 10 games for as well in FIFA 22. 10,000 coins when you get the actual rewards from the pre-season in FIFA 22. We'll talk about when that could happen as well. I don't feel like it's gonna be that worth it. So this one is probably a pass from me because again, what if they require like an 80 rated squad down the line? Do you really wanna turn in an 80 rated squad for a coin boost? I don't think many of you guys would. But if they keep it bronze, silver and maybe a few gold cards and really cheap SBCs the whole way through then maybe if you got a bunch of stuff in the club maybe it's worth it for you to do. But for most people I think that this one is not that great although there is an objective that was released yesterday and I've actually already finished it. This team tryouts. Now this is the one that I would recommend all of you guys doing. It is in the live foot friendly, bring your best which basically you can use your main squad for because a lot of you guys already have 92 plus players in your squad, play four matches, score using 92 plus players in three separate matches and then assist from across. Very easy. This one was actually like glitched. It was just assist with anybody not across or across. Any assist would basically do this, get this objective done. But that gives you this pack right here, a Kickstarter pack. And the reason I like this Kickstarter pack is because depending on when these rewards are granted I mean even if it is still a week after like the web app is out and it's on the full date release when you get these rewards a gold players pack, that's pretty solid. Now that is a pack of 12 golds and only one rare but it's all players, right? That's very, very helpful if you're starting the game and you know you're going to do like hybrid league in nations, hybrid nations or hybrid leagues advanced SBCs and you know just to get a couple non-rares in the club to help out that sort of stuff could be very nice, right? Even in that early stage of the game even if you've already been on the game for a week if you haven't finished those SBCs yet or other SBCs that are coming out I think that and the contracts and the chemistry styles are very nice. Five chemistry styles and you're guaranteed one shadow or hunter and five gold rare contracts which is you know very nice as well not to have to think about having to buy contracts. If you have a couple of these Kickstarter packs let's say you get 10 to 15 gold rare contracts from three, three starter packs you have 15 gold rare contracts, you're set right? If you're gold rare contract that's 28 games to a gold rare player that's very nice, right? So I think that this team tryouts objective is really worth it, right? It's four games, some people are doing gold and gold you get a 50K pack and FIFA 21 which is nice. So that one I think was a huge W on the day. Now other than that our content yesterday it seemed quiet, right? It seemed quiet. Now the 87 times 10 is still there and people are actually grinding this still because it's actually still really, really good and you're packing a lot of high rated players from it but the content yesterday otherwise with the Castilejo and the Godine this Godine card looks decent for this game that is in a couple days Milan versus Cagliari which is, this is nice content but it doesn't seem to be very high. So Godine with pace is actually pretty cool. I'd be interested to know how this card plays in game. The links obviously aren't that great. So if you're running a Serie A squad this might be one of the best Serie A center backs in the game but this Castilejo card looks pretty good except for the work rates, five star skills but medium high is kind of interesting. I think I heard some stat that like Cagliari has not beat Milan in a long time or something like that. So of course Milan are favorites for this one but I just don't, I don't think there's too many people interested in those two SBCs right there and that's one thing I wanna point out too before we talk about more objective stuff is that there is nothing inside of this foot 22 or foot 21 preseason promo, the webpage here that talks about transfer content. I was, one thing that I was really hoping to see is that maybe we would have a chance and of course the big news yesterday being Cristiano Ronaldo transferring to Manchester United, right? What a once to watch promo it is gonna be in the start of FIFA 22, Ronaldo, Messi. I mean all the players that went to PSG maybe even Mbappe in there there's still a few days left of the window to cover but once to watch it's gonna be insane and you know there's so many transfer SBCs like we talked about in yesterday's video like guys like Konate or Wijnaldum or we already had one for Hakimi and De Pye but you know so many other players that have transferred that they could give SBCs for I really feel like that would be something in the next three weeks that would help out this game a little bit and still create some hype for like once to watch and stuff headed down the line but that is not shown here as a part of this preseason promo so that I think is a bit of a bummer. Now they might just release it anyway, we'll see but it is not specifically listed as a part of preseason so that's a bit of an L I think but the last part and we have not seen an objective or an SBC yet but this is guaranteed to come out this week because all of these rewards are of course for week one as noted in the first, yeah during the first week of preseason you can earn rewards, a league of your own pack which will give you three gold bonus league of players with one rare, LaLiga, league one, Premier League and Serie A so that's gonna be interesting to see what kind of grind we have to put in when those are dropped but those look pretty decent and again I just wanna point this out all of Foot 22 preseason rewards are untradable rewards will earn during preseason will be granted by October 12th so this right here saying by October 12th it does not mean they will be released on October 12th because of course the game this year is being released on October 1st October 1st is the actual date when we'll see FIFA 22 the full grand release so if it's coming out 12 days after that that's an L right? In my opinion I think these rewards will drop on that full release date I think this is a granted by date not a granted on date so this is kinda like EA's buffer I guess if they delay it for some reason or they can't get it figured out or whatever the case may be last year I believe the rewards were granted on the full release date I need to go back and check on that so I would not expect to have this stuff through your starter packs anytime before the global launch date of October 1st but it'll be nice to have some of these rewards so as long as the grind for all of these as long as the grind is not that much then that's good now of course we're gonna have week two and week three and it says here stay tuned to in-game for more details about what will be available week two so in my opinion we're already off to a good start with this Kickstarter pack just being filled with a lot of useful things and these League of your own packs I mean they could be nice right? They could be nice at the start of the next year we shall see so that was the content yesterday again it seems a little bit like an L right? It seems like a little bit of an L just because it's a lot less than footies it's a lot less in-your-face and exciting content although we did see that they did put summer stars and path to glories back into packs and if you take a look at the cards that are in packs this might be kind of hard to see because all the way on the left but we basically have all the 99s back in packs except for Messi they put Messi's tots card in as a 98 and this is gonna come into play here with the pack code that we're talking about for an SBC that could come in today but it's mostly team of the years like we talked about that Alfonso Davies team of the year has not been re-released now it finally is team of the year on Bappe is out but it's mostly team of the years, team of the season some of the summer stars and some of the path to glories basically what it is is the 100 I think it's the top 100 best cards for whatever EA used to rank that it's the top 100 best cards in FIFA so it's a lot of higher rated stuff and that's again the interesting part about this is we have this foot watch tweet tonight showing us two different codes that were added in a pre-season loan packs which contains a mix of icon moments team of the year tots and summer stars on a five game loan which tells me that they're probably giving out more of these packs because they're going to be doing more objective based content for pre-season so maybe those league specific like the Bundesliga packs the Prem those three player packs those might be attainable through objectives in that special game mode so that'd be something I'd be keeping an eye out for but this is the one a 10, 90 plus rated rare players pack and it is all from the pre-season best of 100 so if we take a look at this list and we see how many players are there that are 90 plus there are one, two, three, four cards that are below 90 in this list of 100 so 96 players are available from this pack 10 times 90 plus with only 96 players available that's kind of crazy right your odds to pack a Firmino, a Ronaldo and Neymar 99 are still going to be very low but they're never going to be as high as this now I think we'll see this SBC today I think it's going to be an SBC they released today I don't know if it's going to be repeatable I feel like this is such a good thing that it's probably only going to be a one time SBC but also I think it's going to be pretty expensive man a 10 times 90 plus it's going to be probably like the 87 times 10 I doubt it'll be less than five squads probably going to be more than that I would imagine that they take this route so they can make the SBC more expensive because if they just made that like an 88 rated squad that would be too cheap right that'd be too cheap so since they're giving 10 cards back in the pack I would imagine that it would be similar to this 87 plus upgrade sort of vibe for that SBC right there now I did one of these earlier today and I actually got some really good stuff on it right because of the smaller amount of cards that are in packs but how higher rated they are it's actually kind of cracked right it's actually kind of cracked to do some of these gold upgrades or some of these 87 pluses and I think the 90 plus times 10 could be a lot of fun if that does come out so watch out for that one today it's probably not going to be cheap but it's probably going to be worth doing that'll be your best chance at packing a 99 rated card or one of those best versions of Path of Glory or Summer Stars maybe even a Tots or team of the year if you're still chasing after one of those items so that is what is going on I'm actually qualified for the weekend league I really have zero motivation to play it after getting the objectives done I mean I played a few games today with the squad and it was just like mm, man I don't really enjoy playing this game right now at the moment I'll be completely honest but I'm probably going to still play a few games a week in league just to play out again and try to enjoy some of the end game cards that we have achieved in this game I need to like order my squad they still haven't updated Nani bro what? Yo that's kind of crazy man I thought this guy would have gotten updated faster I was thinking that tonight would be the night and it has not happened yet so maybe it'll happen soon but he should go to a 97 pronto it's been a couple days since the game but I might have to reorder my bench here to see if I can get this up to a 197 I think if I got like a variety on here maybe moved him up maybe I could get that done I don't exactly know how this all calculates in terms of rating but the squad is looking fireman on half with this end game team Pacta Kunya played a couple games with him in friendlies it's why it doesn't show on the record but loving the squad is just a game that is just kind of dying out for me I'll be completely honest but the preseason promo again it's not game breaking right it is not game breaking it's not insane content that 90 plus times 10 is pretty cool and we'll just have to see what continues to happen throughout the week this week if you guys did not know those card packs right there showing on that screen that's what packs will look like all packs look like that in FIFA 22 that's how they're kind of making like the IRL connection to like actual sports cards packs it's kind of cool right I really rate that great graphics from EA already starting off in 22 so that's kind of a little cool detail thing and they've already got like FIFA 22 branding as a part of this too they're trying to suck you in to get FIFA 22 they really are as you can tell but that's gonna be the video for today man I know there's just right now in this game it feels like it's getting quiet right and you have these top tier cards even that are in packs right now at the moment actually going up in price Ronaldo is up but of course there's a little bit of hype there of course with the transfer and stuff like that Neymar is in packs I believe his price went up yesterday 2.9 Lowe's 2.86 and right now he is 3 mil right he is 3 mil yes these guys are in packs but there's no supply right there's no preview packs there's no reason for people to panic sell people are in their end game right they're in their end game teams what do I have on a side Sanchez less from my 87 times 10 but that's just kind of the vibe and that's the feel of the game right now at the moment so if you are motivated to grind the FIFA 22 stuff by all means go for it grind it out but I just say make sure you use your best judgment on what is worth it right if you want to do those warm up SBCs go for it but for me I'm gonna steer clear because I don't think it's worth my time at this stage of the game the Kickstarter packs and the League of their own packs I give those a thumbs up once we see what the what it requires to get one of those League of your own packs but again that's the video for today boys if you did enjoy smash a thumbs up on a comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe for new it's been Nathan Vodakowen I will catch you guys later peace out
