 Hey guys it's Nate aka The Photo Count and welcome back to the channel. Out of nowhere yesterday we had our first look inside the next FIFA, even though it's not called that, with a cover reveal and a trailer for the new EAFC 24. So along with our normal FIFA 23 content and market video today, I want to take you through this EAFC 24 news and why some people are very confused about some of the images that we have seen. So if you're excited for this new game all this information drop a thumbs up on the video and of course subscribe if you're new. First of all, let's start where EA started yesterday with this tweet right here showing us the ultimate edition cover for FC 24 and this is where it all started guys. Because this is where we got confused, we started looking at some of the players on this cover and it's very different normally than what we see for a cover. Usually it's one player on the cover with an action shot like Mbappe like we've had in previous years. But this year we're going for 31 players on this cover and when you zoom in which is what you really don't want to do, that's where the issues arise, right? You take a look at some of these player faces in here, Ronaldinho, it looks a little bit off guys. When you look at these images, I'm sure a lot of you have seen this, the real question is was this intentional by EA or is this the actual graphics from inside of the game? Of course you look at Saka, who's a little hard to see at the moment we zoom in a bit more. Guys, that image on Saka does not look like him at all, right? It looks very different. Same thing with Pirlo. Pirlo looks scared out of his mind, man. So you look through the images on this team, some of the players in here, the guys and the girls, they look accurate like I would say Vinny, Holland and Sam Kerr all look like themselves but not everybody in this picture does. Jude Bellingham kind of looks like himself, Rashford kind of looks like himself but like Ronaldinho, Saka, some of these players in here, I mean Esok looks pretty much like himself as well over there on the left. So it was just confusing to see this and everybody in the uproar in the comments down below like EA, what is this? What are these images? What is this cover? Why does it look like this? Now just after EA posted this cover, they also went on to post an official trailer for EAFC. What I want to do in this video with you guys today is just kind of take a quick look through this trailer really fast, let it play through, I'll make a couple comments over it and point out maybe some things that you maybe have missed. If you watched this the first time, if you haven't seen it at all, it isn't a link to this video as well if you want to see the raw footage itself but let's take a quick look through this because there's a lot in here, a lot of hidden things that I think are very interesting to point out. 30 years of packing the stands and putting you on the pitch, but it's time to get closer. In the dressing room with Pev, this is a whole different game. This is what I want to talk about first, right? You see there in the beginning, 30 years being on the pitch, what they're doing right here in this part of the video is saying EA, we're acknowledging that the end of the FIFA era has happened, right? We are now not in the normal, the past 30 years that FIFA has been a part of this. We are no longer a part of that. It is now going to bring this game to a whole new level and a whole new experience. One that spirit can't be broken. Not the women in the other locker room as well. All right, speaking of icons, as you see here is Zidane with the official icon kit. First time we get to see the icon kit in the EAFC 24 change up, I guess you could say. One thing I noticed is, check out right here, you can see UT instead of foot. It's Ultimate Team instead of FIFA Ultimate Team. See some of the branding with that change? That's probably going to be consistent throughout the rest of this video and throughout the rest of the year on Ultimate Team. Now next thing I want to point out, see Jude Bellingham transfers, tons of transfers in this video, everywhere, players that have just moved, even like really, really recent transfers you're going to see here in a second. Like right here, in this clip right here before we get there, Phil Foden, rizzing it up right here with a women's footballer. And one mistake in this video as well, Benteke and Insignia. Insignia is what? 5'3", 5'4"? Benteke is like 6'3", so literally a foot taller than him. But in this video, he just shows us maybe like the same height or an inch or two taller. That's very interesting. Highest Generations, gives us legends to learn from, pushes us to become better. And Marta, right? Everybody's looking for Marta to be potentially one of the first, if not the first women's icons in the game. So she's making an appearance on the cover and in this trailer. It dares us to take risks and we back those. Boom! James Madison, another transfer. That transfer literally happened like a week and a half ago. That's really recent from EA. GG's for being up to date. And then we get our first bit of gameplay with a nice Venetius Junior finish shot. And boom, we're back into the tunnel with a very interesting animation of Ertling Holland walking. It doesn't look all that natural. Alexis McAllister with a transfer there, Ronaldinho. And then boom, I really love this scene. This scene is, I think, telling us a lot. Without saying it, it's kind of confirming mixed men's and women's available to be played in the same team and on the same pitch at the same time. Kind of confirming that with this view right here. Right? You see Holland, Marta, Sun, Sam Kerr all walking out to the pitch at the same time. Beautiful ending. Just kind of like the cover photo as well of the Ultimate Edition. All the players there at the end. Boom. So that is the trailer. I'll leave the link down below in the description once again. And the biggest part of all this is there's so many little Easter eggs hidden inside there. Right? There's so many things that EA kind of change and show that we have to like deep dive and read into. Now, all in all, does that tell us a lot? It really doesn't tell us that much. It just kind of shows us a few things that we kind of already confirmed that we knew through the leaks. Now one thing that's very interesting guys is EA is doing a full reveal of this on July 13th. So this Thursday, if you want to learn more about Ultimate Team, we'll be looking at it live on stream. That link is down below in the description as well. We'll be reacting to that live. We'll be talking all things EAFC. And yeah, I'm excited for that. Now overall, between the cover photo and the actual trailer itself, I mean, we're still really confused with this cover photo. Like I don't understand what's going on here because even if you look at like Holland in this cover photo compared to the graphics like in here, like he looked way better inside of the actual like footage in this trailer than he does on this cover photo. I don't understand what's going on with this, but I think the trailer is really sick. Like that might be one of the better trailers for a new FIFA game that I think I've ever seen. Just all of the cinematography in there, I don't know if that's a word or not, but the cinematics, right? It just was super duper sick. The storyline that was inside of it was really cool. All the players, Pat being in there, the icons, it was really, really cool. So big W in my opinion, and I'm excited to learn a bit more. Now let's turn it back to FIFA 23, the game that we're currently in because there's a lot going on in this game as well. We had one big SBC yesterday. I want to look at yesterday's content and look ahead into today on Tuesday as well because hopefully EA gives us something that we can craft and that we can grind because we are desperately needing an SBC to craft. Now yesterday we had one, but it was really easy to do and not as much of a craft as I think this game would really benefit from an 83 times 25 upgrade pack repeatable every other day. So that means I think we'll be able to do it twice. You'll be able to do it yesterday or if you haven't done it yet right now and then you'll be able to do it tomorrow on a Wednesday once again before it expires on Friday. So it's only an SBC that we can get done twice, but it's not that expensive. It's what was it, 84 and 85 rated squads, 85 and 86. No special requirements in there. You just get lots of fodder, right? Anytime you turn in to an SBC, less players than what you get out of it. That's always a dub. So a chance here to pack some level up players and to potentially hit something big from that one, but I mean, all the fodder that I got back from this, all the fodder that a lot of you guys are maybe getting back from it. I have not done the 90 plus icon player picks yet, but with those 83, 25s, all that fodder, man, I'll say it again. I said it yesterday's video, guys, we need badly. We need another icon player SBC. We need like a hullet. We need a Pele. We've had the Dinho. We've had a couple like we had shapeshipped through Zambranto. We had foot birthday Cantina. We need another top tier, top level icon, whether it's a prime version for the some of those icons I just mentioned. I doubt EA would give us a shapeshifter Pele or even a team of the year root hullet. I doubt they would do that. But we just need a big time SBC to craft to work for to chip away because right now on this game, the upgrade pack content is unbelievable. One of the other SBCs we had yesterday was the 81 plus player pick. And at first, when this was dropped, EA incorrectly dropped it. And you could only do it one time. It was not unlimited, repeatable. They've redropped it. It is the same exact requirements, the same exact SBC, five golds. And you get an 81 plus player pick one of three. But the issue is this SBC expires now in four days, which according to the way that it's expiring, it's going to be out for Friday for level up team two at content unless EA change that timer. And that is very interesting. Not often do we have player picks available on a promo Friday. That's actually a big W, in my opinion. So those were all our SBCs yesterday. Really not a lot going on besides that 83 times 25. But maybe you want to see this. Maybe you've thought other people opening some Ultimate Tots player picks yesterday, EA compensated the Brazilian Portuguese packs from like a month ago during ultimate team this season that had the glitched wording here inside of the store. If you remember people changing their languages and opening packs, that was one of that compensation, what it was for. Basically, I don't think they're done with it yet. They haven't not they haven't tweeted anything. So if you're still waiting compensation, they still may not be done with that. We also had a brand new 500 K pack. And I got to tell you guys, this is the biggest scam of a store pack. I have ever seen literally ever. You're paying 500,000 coins for three players. Or if you're going to spend 500 K or the 3000 FIFA points, you could spend 500 K or 300,000 FIFA points for 100 players and be able to craft all that back into an SBC. Guys, we opened a couple of these on stream yesterday as people were very brave to test it out. And the best card that we had, I think, was like team of the season. Honorable mentions Shun Min Sun. There was a lot of low level, very fodder Tots cards inside of this. We didn't see a single trophy Titans icon as a part of this pack as well, even though it's all 93 plus with 194. Guys, this is not good value at all. It is fun to gamble on it. But I mean, it just seemed like the weight was really, really bad on that. That was kind of crazy. I did open the 500 K pack yesterday. I opened the Super Elite pack, the one with 100 players in it. And I packed Golden Bapé for the first time this entire FIFA. That was that was kind of cool to pack in Bapé for in his gold version for the first time. Now, let's talk about the market a little bit, because as expected, there was a pretty crazy rise on a couple of these guys. I bought Davies at 700 in the video yesterday. He went all the way to 930. I bought Timo Werner at about 515 K. No, I bought I bought Timo in the in the video, not Afonso Davies. But I mean, Timo went up really nicely yesterday. Went up about 100,000 coins, who's about 650 K at his peak. And some of these guys, you know what? They actually haven't had big drop offs. I was wondering if into the nighttime, Monday night into Tuesday, early morning hours today on Tuesday, if they would get really, really low and they really haven't, which is interesting, because I guess people aren't feeling the need to sell these cards in a panic sell them if there's not weak and weak rewards that are being opened. Even though I'm sure just hour by hour that we keep going on, people are completing these objectives and not needing these lower tier cards anymore. Because again, we've been talking about it. Once you complete the objective, the lower tier card literally becomes irrelevant. Right. So I would still be careful when trading and trying to mess around with these cards. If you're trying to get the objectives done, I think they're still going to have some price fluctuations. They just might not be as crazy a fluctuations that we saw, of course, on the weekend when like we're not those Sanchez went from 10 million coins all the way down to, you know, 5.8 and then back to seven. And now it's just yesterday, the graphs are yes, you had a nice rise in the morning, but they're a lot more, you know, like level, right? So that's kind of where these cards are at right now. They're not moving as much. I still think it all depends on content as to where they move throughout the rest of the week in terms of big panic sell-offs. But again, the more we go throughout the week, the more and more people are getting these objectives done. And especially by the time we get to like Thursday, even as we get towards Friday with a new team, a second team of level upcoming, I would still have to imagine that these guys would end up dropping down a bit further and then potentially rising a bit out of packs after that. But until we get to Friday, I'm still being very careful with these. If you're doing the objectives, like I'm grinding, I'm sterling right now. I'm also grinding at the end of Charlotte glue and Cavani. And I'm very tempted to go after Alfonso Davies, because that card looks phenomenal for his upgraded card. Now, let's talk about today on FIFA a bit more. What kind of content could we have on a Tuesday? EA, we need a player as PC. We already talked about it in icon player, PC, or like an end of an era is a lot of time would be the perfect grind right now for this game with the upgrade packs being as good as they are. The level of crafting upgrade, we're giving you three 80 plus is back and an 81 plus player pick, which requires less golds than the level of crafting by one. And it's still a player pick, which is very nice as well. It's so nice to have both options. We need another SBC to craft something recent, something new, not like an upgrade pack, but like a player, SBC, that would be the biggest thing that would help content out today. Apart from that, maybe we get some other sort of like a year in review type of vibe today, like Tuesdays, you know, player, SBCs are very common on Tuesdays. But again, I'm just unsure how they would add a player SBC in as a part of this level up promo, since they don't seem to want to upgrade the level up your game objectives with new players. They dropped Savner near. He was kind of all by his own self here with the crafting objective. So that was a bit different. So maybe we get an SBC today for a player. Watch out for leaks, but hopefully it's something that is nice and grindable with many squads, or at least a couple of squads that would be just craftable at the stage of the game. Because man, these 80 times three packs are just so good. The crafting right now is so incredible, and it's slightly annoying, actually. I've started to pack one-fourth multiple times. I think I've packed Corona Tegatito multiple times as well. But when you're getting like a board in every single one of these, like two 83s and then 80 plus double, these packs are so nice. I mean, I'm running out of places to put my 82s and my 83s. And if there was at least maybe even a year in review player pick that would be fun to submit some of those guys into to at least have something else to put them into. That would be nice, because at this point, I'm just putting 83s right back into this crafting upgrade. Yeah, boom, right there, another duplicate 83. So that's going to be the video for today, guys.
