This is the video that has blown it up. Seems he discovered that there is something on the no touch dribbling that required 86 dribbling to achieve it:

Will be interesting to see how this plays out, surprised it's been allowed to continue on the dark side, stuff like this is usually shut down sharpish. Seems fairly conclusive but I'm sure ea will manage to come out the other side and continue to make huge profits from packs.

That place is pretty lawless at the moment it seems. ROB hasn't been seen for months, apart from posting the occasional TOTW. The mods seem to have vanished, Marleigh and co seem invisible. Blatent open discussion of handicap has been going on for hours now.
I would have though that EA will either fix it on the quiet tomorrow, although if it's been going on for years as seems likely, maybe it won't because they'd need to decide everything. In that case they'll just say nothing and there'll be some sort of wording in the small print of terms of service that'll bail them out somehow.
Or they'll give free 100k packs and buy everyone off that way. Will be interesting to see what happens though. Youtubers are on it, dark side is full of it, so it won't go away. Anne Robinson on at the moment?! They been on Watchdog over FUT more than once already.....

I'm not sure plastic Anne has had much impact in the past, there may already be small print to cover issues such as this. This issue would explain why some IFs feel worse than the regular card, but some do feel better, may just be the placebo effect though. Can't see a few posts on the forum getting a response from ea, only a drop in profits will effect them and I can't see that happening any time soon.

I watched that video, and then watched the Nepenthez one that was referenced - agree that the Nepenthez one needs to be watched first.

Personally, I've tried my best to stay away from first & second IF's. FIFA 13 showed us that they were simply not worth it. The only ones I would be interested in early, would be those that had position changes. Given this & that we predominantly use 10-chem players in teams with "original/day-1" cards, I guess we've not really felt it. Maybe a handful or 2 did not feel worth it, and they'd be sold off quickly.

Thankfully, the high-end TOTS cards "should be" less affected and therefore the OP team is indeed that. Even on the "base 4 chem" stat they are still monstrously over powered.

BUT ... need to watch the one on Fitness glitch. That would **** me off a bit!

Also, I do agree with the general comment that somehow EA would have it covered it their T&C's. There's no way they'd expose themselves to mass liability - especially if they know what's happening (or not) with chemistry.

Noticed a sharp increase in the price of lower rated players over to past couple of days as day one players increase in popularity since the recent issues. Trying to build a low rated team has doubled in cost, annoying for those that just like to build new teams.

Well.

Well, well, well. Well, well....

Hiya! Long time no see. Long time no FIFA in fact, got mighty fed up with the ongoing inconsistencies and lost the very last dregs of my motivation to continue with it. Didn't help at all that bronze cup opponents seemed to start drying up. Overwatch and GTA have more than filled the gap, I'd actually ceased to even remember FUT existed.

But gosh. The intense whiff of I-told-you-so-ness saturating Earths atmosphere just couldn't be ignored. Obviously hit Google and started conducting in depth aeriological experiments in order to track down the source of the potentially life-on-Earth altering phenomena and blow me down if it didn't all lead back to FUT.
Cue much unsurprise and deep, quivering notshock. Most assuredly nonstunned, I was.
Particularly since early indications were that the stink was caused by the English national football team. Those suspicions faded quickly tho. Especially after I underwent a severe memory removal procedure immediately after seeing them.

So. Very interesting... Pulled me back in last night, it did. Dropped all my non day 1 players and had 5 games in the gold cup with more or less the same 2 teams I've posted many times before. Lost just the final, a slow and relatively laggy struggle to a 120th min goal for a 2-1 defeat. Other 4 games were a joy of flowing football and definite, cohesive control. Well, I'll be...

I did have a low chem experiment myself on 16, that featured tourney. I've posted somewhere here about how it went. In a nutshell, dreadful. Not just for me but my opponents as well, every game was a catastrophic blunderfest of ineffectual, blithering idiocy. I think all went to full time with barely a chance or a goal.
So not too bothered about repeating the experience and I have to say, a little nonplussed as to how this glitch reveal makes low chem teams suddenly viable. So I was having a load of cack and nonsense because my IFs were only on 4 chem. Well, now I can just play anyone anywhere, safe in the knowledge that they're on crap chem and not lying about it... Nope. I don't get it :D

Apparently it's gonna get patched tho eh? Initially I was quite happy for it to stand, I was gonna flog all my special cards and knock out the resultant 260k on spiffing NIFs, Suarez, Pogba.... Now if they patch it, I'm interested to see how good TOTS Aduriz, IF Salah and my trillion bronze TOTS actually are. Andrezinho is gonna be crazy good. Slightly alarming to know my TIF Higuain was performing under par all that time... What must he be really like?
Also intrigued to try the multiple bronze TOTS in one line up again.

Once they patch it effectively of course. Which they naturally will. Right? Soon. I expect.... Without fail....

Suddenly all the terrible IF teams on FUT 12 and the shocking bronze ones on 13 all make sense. Yes this handi, sorry "glitch" has been going on that long, if the penalty bar is good to go by. I think we all knew really!
TOTS cards are still pretty crazy good, so god knows how they'll perform if EA actually does anything.

Interesting to hear that you also did not feel the low chem affecting the team.

Also, I do agree that I would like to see it remain ;D.

Me? Oh I totally did, with the low chem experiment. Ofc, my opponents were also low chem, perhaps if they'd not been, I'd have noticed some other effect (conspiracy hat on)... :D
With my games the other night, I was on properly full chem, having dropped a few players and gone full day 1 NIF.
What did interest me tho, is that it all fits how I've felt for ages, my teams performing gradually worse the more I add special cards, hence the 2 or 3 IF limit I arrived at. Used to be 3 but I remarked here that I felt my teams get too poor when I went over 2 this year. I didn't include UPs in that, for obvious reasons, and I did have a couple in both gold teams, essentially putting me on 3 or 4 specials per line up. No wonder they felt bad when I added a 4th/5th IF.
Suggests to me that you're alright with 1 or 2 players on 4 chem. It only begins to to foul up when you push it further. Or go massively OP with your choices, tho personally, that's never worked for me.

The TOTS cards are still mainly OP. They have such big stat increases that they still will be better than the IF's with chem style boosts. Just remember that no matter where they play, no matter what the screen says their chemistry is, they play to their card stats no matter what. Until any patch at least.
