Around a week ago, redditer “TheShearerComplex” started a campaign on breddit to boycott any Black Friday sales that EA would unveil for the in-game currency of FIFA Points, so that EA could be sent a message. It all boils down to the requirements for this mode: Players need to Buy FIFA 18 Coins play 40 matches over two days, which at 20 minutes per match works out to around 13 hours spent.

Factor in regular game maintenance as you fine-tine your team for the matches ahead and the time investment is staggeringly high. That’s if you even qualify for the mode, which requires four consecutive wins in the daily knockout tournaments, being in the first division of the FUT online seasons mode or a gold rank in the previous Weekend League.

It’s a popular mode within FIFA 18, but it’s also too much work and stress for some fans who just want to have fun. “I’m not trying to be a competitive FIFA player,” TheShearerComplex said to Eurogamer when he was interviewed over the campaign to get EA to pay attention to the fans.
