In EA FC 24, the majority of players already have a lot of strong cards in Ultimate Team. While most people only need to strengthen their teams at certain points, a well-known Twitch streamer starts from “0” again in the middle of the season and takes a completely new path. His fans celebrate him for it.
Who is the person you are talking about? Simon Schildgen is better known to the EA FC community as GamerBrother, especially on his YouTube channel. Since FIFA 13, the Twitch streamer and YouTuber has been regularly producing new FIFA content. In addition to the gameplay, “Broski” has become famous over the past 12 years primarily for his pack openings, which have become increasingly important as his popularity has increased.
What are pack openings? This involves purchasing and opening so-called shop packs in EA FC 24, which can be purchased either with an in-game currency or with real money. Large streamers invest up to several thousand euros to get the best players from the randomly generated packages.
This should now be over, at least on the newly created account. With its new project, GamerBrother wants to show that you can have fun playing the game even without investing real money. He informed his fans about his plans in advance in a video:
GamerBrother launches RTG: “I need a new challenge”
In his video, GamerBrother announces that he needs a new challenge and is “extremely keen” on a new task. Now he faces the challenges of an RTG in EA FC 24.
The exact opposite would be the pay-to-win route, in which you gain an advantage over other players by using real money by getting good packs and therefore better players more quickly.
Why is GamerBrother launching an RTG? In the video linked above, GamerBrother explains the background to his new project. He had reached a point with his content “where a lot of things were simply repeating themselves”.
The streamer is looking for a balance to the usual formats that he would still enjoy, but would have lost some of their appeal with the financial reserves of a pay-to-win account. He longed for a new challenge that would require him to act more strategically and wisely. In this context, he refers to the early days of his career when he simply didn’t have that many opportunities.
Another important aspect that GamerBrother mentions is his role model function as a public figure. Not only does he want to always have to tell his community that they shouldn’t invest any money in EA FC 24, but he also wants to actively demonstrate this resolution himself.
The content creator has a few reassuring words for all fans of pack openings and other long-standing formats: “It’s just more content for you. Nothing is lost here.” Although he wants to dedicate himself to a new task, he emphasizes that he doesn’t want to neglect the formats that made him famous.
GamerBrother has picked a good time to relaunch Ultimate Team. The dynamic FC fantasy cards are currently in the packs.
Fans celebrate the new project: “More of this please”
How does his community react to the RTG? GamerBrother received a tremendous amount of support in the comments under his RTG announcement video on YouTube. His fans wish him much success and are happy that he has now become even more a part of them with his new account. Many fans are extremely interested in how Broski will manage the switch from pay-to-win to RTG.
This positive impression is also confirmed in the numbers of his latest videos on YouTube (as of February 28, 2023). The announcement video received over 180,000 views, the highlight video of his first RTG episode received only slightly fewer clicks on YouTube with 177,000 views. If you use the views of his latest pack opening on the pay-to-win account as a comparison (102,000 clicks on YouTube), it is clear that his community pays a lot of attention to the RTG format.
In the meantime, GamerBrother has also drawn his first rewards and completed the first Weekend League with his new team. These videos also saw more viewers than the content he has produced in the meantime with his pay-to-win account.
