World Cup Update

[continuum67]

I know the news came out a couple days ago, but is anyone else excited for the new World Cup update? Gives me a reason to dust off my old copy of the game and give it another spin. Is it too much to hope that there will be new trophies tied to this free update? I'm looking forward to leading the US to a World Cup victory in the game since we all know it won't be happening in real life...

 

Here's the announcement trailer for anyone who hasn't seen it.

Hopefully it will be a good method to get coins and gold packs like in fifa 14. World cup mode actually made me keep playing fifa 14 for about 2 months and extra trophies would be nice

I'd like the update but I really hope they won't add any trophies for it. I'm happy with my platinum and don't want to get back to it

They would not take away your platinum, but your percentage would go down below 100%

That's what I meant. I have the 100% and I don't want to put more effort in it to get back to that.

I was kind of hoping for a couple of extra trophies in the update, myself, since I already know I will be playing the update regardless. I can see how the need to re-100% it if you didn't plan on playing the game again would be annoying.

For me its my country the Netherlands, sadly my country is very bad right now. We failed last two qualification rounds (for Europe and World Cup), while we were second in 2010 and third in 2014!

 

I’m hoping for some trophies, but please no time consuming trophies like Euro 2012 DLC..

Yeah and hopefully none of that 'Win the world cup with a 1 star team' bs.

Agree, I did that for the 2010 Word Cup game. Needed sub accounts and a lot boosting

According to other forums it's confirmed that there will be no trophies for the DLC World Cup. It's just a free update to play this mode; without trophies. I'll try this mode for fun I guess.

No trophies for the update, but I inadvertently confirmed that the SBCs found in the new mode do not count for the trophy. Only the ones in the main game.

Curious question: how was the World Cup dlc in this game?

I'm looking for a soccer game to play with my son and he really enjoys watching the national teams play.  When you pick your team, do you need to qualify through your federation (i.e. UEFA, CONCACAF, etc.)? Or can you just play with the teams that qualified for Russia? Also, does the World Cup dlc make any trophies easier, or harder, to earn?

Thanks for any help!
