 Hey guys, it's Nate, aka ThePhotoCount, and welcome back to the channel. There was one XBC that was gonna bring me back on to FIFA 23 to grind just a little bit more before this game ends, and EA dropped it yesterday, and of course, it was because we didn't talk about it in yesterday's video. That was the plan, and it freaking worked. Yes, we're gonna talk about the 99 rated footies SBC that dropped yesterday, and of course, the potential for still a couple more of those to drop before this promo is over and before we're fully into EA FC 24. So a lot to talk about there, but we're also gonna do a bit of a combo video today and look a little bit also into some FC 24 stuff that happened yesterday with some additional dates that were confirmed that we kinda didn't expect to see on Twitter yesterday. So a little bit of that, a little bit of a combo action going on today in the video. If you're excited for it, drop a thumbs up, subscribe if you're new. Let's start with the big SBC, and I would show you the SBC, but hey, we actually got it done straight away because I told you guys right at the beginning, if they were gonna drop a messy SBC, that would rope me back into the menu grind, and it's actually not that difficult to do, guys. Only 26 squads for this lean on messy coming in at a price point that is really, really solid. 3.2, actually that price has gone up, 3.2 million coins is up from where he was. He was 2.7 mil on the first hour. I have to imagine that's just because some high-rated fodder is moving up in price. What are 97s? 27,000 coins, 29k for Osamun. What was he yesterday? Cause that is definitely moving up in price, I believe. Okay, he was 22k and now he's 27,000 coins. Guys, the power of lean on messy having an SBC look at this fodder rising. Still, 32 or sorry, 26 challenges to complete, 3.2 million coins. It's not that bad, it just takes a little bit of time grinding the 85 times 10. 3.3 million you can see here, 79% upvote. Guys, if you want to do this lean on messy SBC, 5s for 5s for, of course, the premium card. You don't even need any links to him. Of course, the inter-Miami links aren't that great anyway for the rest of the game. Besides the Jordy Alba and the Busquets, it's a really, really easy crap. And if you're coming back to FIFA just because EA dropped this SBC, let me give you a couple of tips on how you can get it done very easily. Of course, the daily bronze, silver and gold SBCs will get you off the ground, especially the daily gold that it is 20 times per day is really, really nice. When you start running out of gold players like I did a lot during the SBC crafting process, that's a really easy one to do. You can then turn those into the preseason crafting upgrade if you want to, or just put those golds straight into 85 times 10s with the higher rated players that you get. Now, the 85 times 10 is the crucial SBC. It's the one you do over and over and over. And the extras that you get from it, those high rated players, that's what goes into the messy SBC. Now, I'll also give you guys another tip. There's an 82 times 100 SBC that's out right now. And once you start running out of a lot of golds, maybe around, you know, 10 squads in, 12 squads in, this 82 times 100 SBC at any point during the messy crafting process is insane. Don't sleep on it because I thought, ah, it's four squads, 91 and 92 rated. Those are just fodder squads I can put into messy, right? It is so helpful for getting all of the 82, 83 and 84 rated cards that are inside of this, along with a lot of high rated fodder. It is so worth it, guys. You get so many cards back and it helps your 85 times 10 grind immensely. Since you're turning in 82s and 83s to fill out the rest of your 85 times 10 squad and then you're not turning in like bronze, silver and non-rare gold cards instead, it's absolutely insane. So the messies in the club, you can see them right there. Beautiful card. Tried them out for a couple of games yesterday. Gonna try them out probably for a couple more today, just so that we have the card and we can say that we have attained the 99 messy. So that's kind of the grind in the crafting. I don't know about any of you. Unless you already have the messy, which is, I know, not very many of us. It's kind of motivating, again, to get back on and be like, okay, especially like, guys, I timed it yesterday. I even tweeted about it. It took me two hours and 39 minutes to complete this SBC. And yesterday was National Video Game Day 2 as well. Like, that's cool, whatever. What a day to drop messy EA. So we did that yesterday. It doesn't take that long to grind in one sitting. Of course, since it's a lot less squads than Ronaldo, that is a big W. So that was the big news from yesterday. Now, a couple other things I want to point out. Some people are asking now that we had this messy and the 99 footies conversation is kind of alive again. We talked about potentially more footies SBCs coming towards the end of the week. And I think that's very possible. But guys, I don't think we're going to get one for Mbappe. I think it's pretty unlikely that we would get an Mbappe SBC. We could, but I think there's a higher chance of something like that happening for maybe somebody like Neymar. And we'll wait till the end of the week to really dive into that a little bit more. Because of course, Friday is going to be a big day for FIFA 23 content as it relates to FC 24 as well as the database coming out and new objectives in-game to grind for that. So we'll talk a little bit more about that then since that's a couple of days in the future. But just kind of put that on your radar that there could be still more 99-rated footies players coming. Now, with this being one of the last FIFA 23 videos probably this week, we're in the kind of limbo mode, right? We're switching between FC 24, FIFA 23, as stuff comes up. Until Friday, this is probably going to be the last video talking specifically about FIFA 23 stuff. So content today on Wednesday might be a decent day. The 94-plus player pick, we're going to talk about this for a second. I know some of you guys are still grinding this in the menus with the 85 times 10 craft. You're like, Nate, I'd rather do this to try to pack messy than try to do 26 squads. That's a risk. It's a gamble, which you could. If you're trying to hit Ronaldo as well, or maybe it's Lewandowski, Benzema, any of those 99s and Boppe, he's probably easiest to hit out of this than the 85 times 10s. I opened a bunch of those today, crafting messy. The best player that I pulled was, I don't know, Donnaruma a couple of times, Allison a couple of times. No, I got Alawarin. Not Alawarin, I bet he played. That's who I got a couple of times from the 85 times 10 as well. But I think this should come back today. EA just make it unlimited repeatable. That'd be nice. And then we do have a transfer SBC, daily blend expiring. So maybe they would throw another player SBC in today. Not expecting that, but it's possible for that as well. So again, not a ton going on on FIFA 23 as always, but make sure you're getting your objectives done, the preseason objectives that joined the club. I got mine done, ready to go. And I'm ready for more of those to come out on Friday for the last few for sure to get that done and dusted. And then we'll be done with those. Those are the most important thing on this game right now for sure. Now speaking of EA FC 24, let's transition a little bit into talking about this. Because there was some new news that was dropped yesterday. I know we did a video yesterday talking about the dates that you need to know. And there's a little bit of expounding upon that I want to do in today's video. But also EA, as we expected, they're dropping some ratings every single day. And yesterday it was the Premier League and the women's Premier League getting showcased for some ratings. Now here's the issue, right? EA post these photos and they post these cards with ratings like you see a Diogo Jota, who looks pretty good. You see a Trippier card, you see a Tonali who looks cracked. We've known a lot of these ratings for most of these cards, especially for the higher rated ones already for a while now. But again, what it is nice to see along with these are some of the actual headscans, the images for the players, and then the traits as well, the play styles, the new trade system play styles for these cards. But the problem is, EA haven't added it to their ratings page. And in the tweets, they even say, get set for early access now. You know, like you should be able to click on this link, on literally this tweet link. You should be able to click on that and see all the added ratings. But still, all they have on here are the top 24 cards, men's and women's players. You still have Lila Messi showing with medium, medium work rates. So I'm hoping that they update their website with all these players that they keep tweeting out, the men's and the women's players, because they tweeted out both yesterday. And man, there are some crazy looking cards inside if you're especially with some of the play style pluses that show on the outside of the card. Some of these cards look really good, but I wish I could see the individual stats in the card through the ratings database from EA. That would be nice, but unfortunately it's not there. And then what you're starting to see as well on Twitter is clubs and footballers individually and together posting some of their ratings. Like maybe they didn't know the actual time, like the embargo time where they were supposed to tweet out their ratings. This looks like one of the best French left backs to start off the year. Couple of people were commenting that Basha is very short, so that could hurt her meta usability in-game. But the early crosser playstyle trade with really good stats, honestly. 72 and above in every single stat with pretty good pace. And French League 1 Lyon, Lyon links. That's not a bad looking French left back there. I think Spurs even tweeted out their squad ratings with official images yesterday as well. And some EFL cards were posted as well. So just keep an eye on Twitter. There's been a lot of things posted in terms of the ratings. Now, of course, we've been doing a lot of the rating searching. We've been looking at a bunch of these different cards and we're finding some absolutely overpowered cheap beasts inside of the FIFA 24 foot scoreboard ratings. But we're still waiting for EA to drop their full database. And that's on Friday. And at this point it's kind of just like EA, just do it, right? We have this here. Just drop the real one. That's what we're ready for. So Friday can't get here soon enough for that sort of information and that sort of news. Now, speaking of dates, this is one of the last things I want to cover in today's video is Weaver Foot tweeted out yesterday. And he wasn't the only one. There were multiple people tweeting out yesterday about some official release dates that were leaked. Now, here's my question with all of this is, just like with a lot of the leaks that we get, we're always questioning where is this leak coming from. Because in yesterday's video we talked about some of these dates. We talked about September 20th being the day that we're getting on the web app, which seemed very likely. Now, he is saying that it is confirmed and official, but I don't know where this is leaked from. I'm guessing he has good sources if he's tweeting this out. It could be something along the lines of those launch update pitch notes that we mentioned in yesterday's video. Maybe he got an early look at those or some inside access to EA channels about that. Web app access date. Now, of course, we definitely know about the 22nd being the early access, the ultimate release date that is on EA's website. The interesting thing here is content creator access. I think that is something that happens every year. You see people get on the game early. Being in the EA creator program, that could mean I would be getting on the game early as well. But let me tell you something. I have no idea about this, like zero, zero clue. So if that's true, then he's got some inside sources that are pretty, pretty far in there, man, because no idea. So that's all I'm saying about that. But the 20th for the web app, that really is the biggest date to know that it's more so confirmed that we're getting the web app on the 20th, which is nice to know, which was expected. But of course, nice to know for that there. So that's kind of the news for FC 24. It's kind of a quiet day besides messy, but again, I'll get excited for messy. Bring me back on fever 23 for a little bit. The menu grind. Yes, I'm getting a little bit tired of it. It's getting a little bit, you know, just I've been opening packs with insane cards now for like a month in this game. And it just feels like, all right, I'm ready for the FC 24 grind. I'm excited like you guys are as well. We're going to continue with the preparation videos. But I wanted to make this one today and especially talk about the messy SBC because that was one that we were all really hoping to see. Wow, the good fodder is continuing to roll in. Yeah, we were hoping to see that messy card and we did get it. So get that SBC done if you want to. It doesn't take that long. It's pretty easy to craft. And you can go enjoy that card here for a couple of days before FC 24 is out. Now get ready for some more FC 24 preparation videos coming really, really soon on the channel as well as we continue to be in this limbo time between FC 24 and fever 23. But if you enjoyed this video today, drop a thumbs up on it. Comment down below if you have any questions and of course subscribe if you're new. I'll see you guys in the video tomorrow. Let's put an 8th foot account and see you there. Peace out.
