Why FIFA Online 4 in Korea is considered a trash game”

Let’s break it down onnexond on what many Korean players have voiced online:

💥 1. Monopoly and Poor Game Engine

• FIFA Online 4 has no real competitors in Korea, so it operates as a monopoly.
• The game engine is outdated and poorly optimized, leading to frustrating gameplay.
• EA Korea’s attempts to tweak the engine often make things worse, not better.

💸 2. Aggressive Monetization

• The game heavily encourages spending money to stay competitive.
• Without in-game purchases, it’s nearly impossible to build a strong team.
• Many users feel like the game is more about selling items than simulating football.

⚙️ 3. Broken Systems

• The salary cap system forces players to use similar “onnexon” teams, killing creativity.
• High-rated players require sacrificing other onnexons, making team-building frustrating.

These two issues—outdated engine and poor gameplay mechanics—end up turning world-class players into useless cards, completely stripping away their real-life brilliance.

🧟 4. Unrealistic Player Cards

• ICON cards are extremely expensive and inaccessible to most players.
• These cards dominate the game, creating imbalance and pay-to-win dynamics.

🧾 5. Ridiculous Transaction Fees

• Selling players comes with steep in-game fees, reducing the value of your assets.
• Even after investing real money, players lose a significant portion when trading.

💤 6. Tedious Events and Low Rewards

• Daily missions feel like chores, with minimal rewards.
• Even after grinding for weeks, players can barely afford top-tier cards.
