How to use your EA Play hours

I presume that most of you guys will buy the Early Access (EA Play) to FIFA 22, estimated to be released on the 22nd of October.

There is one massive change this year than to previous years, players playing on Next Generation Consoles (PS5 and XBOX Series S/X) will get 20 hours (10h on each edition of the game) while Old Generation players (PS4 and Xbox One) will get 10h of Early Access gameplay. Major thing to keep in mind while reading through this guide!

I’m writing this post under the impression we will get 10/20 hours EA Access/Play. Sometimes, people find a glitch to get Unlimited Hours on the EA Play trials, but we're going to work on the condition that we get 10/20 hrs of early play. 

Let’s dive right into it.

What you should do

Squad Battles: This should be your main focus, because of the rewards you get. If you can combine Squad Battles with some Objectives you will make a lot of coins and probably more than 500 coins for each match. Try to place as high as possible, that’s not really hard and you get decent rewards!

Objectives: Probably it will be like last year, achieving Objectives in combination with Squad Battles will produce the most coins for you. Like always you can also achieve Objectives if you buy and sell cards, complete SBCs…

FUT Draft: Only play FUT Draft if you are good, reach at least the final and if you want to buy FIFA Points (Use the 4,600 Included w/ Ultimate Edition). That is the best way to use your FIFA Points at the beginning. I also know a bunch of E-Sport Players who use their FIFA Points, playing FUT Draft.

What you shouldn‘t do

Don’t open packs during your 10/20 hours EA Access/Play. You can do that on the Webapp and it saves time!

Don’t do SBCs during your 10/20 hours EA Access/Play. That will waste a lot of time and you can do that also on the webapp. 

Don’t trade during your 10/20 hours EA Access/Play. My experience thought me that you can make way more money playing the game and trading on the Webapp.

I’m not telling you what to do, I'm just suggesting you, what the best would be for your coin total. So decide on your own what you want to do.
