With just one month to go for FC 26 and fans losing interest in FC 25 as the game has run its yearly cycle. EA has yet again pulled another very dodgy trick to get users to play FC 25. The Griddy celebration is one of the most toxic and provocative celebrations in the game it’s often used by players after scoring a goal to get a reaction from their opponents. EA has released “Griddy to Glory” a special, limited-time event, primarily within the game’s Ultimate Team mode.
You have to play this in order to use this celebration for FC 26. This will not be available otherwise for players. The reward will also only carry over by logging in with the same EA account and platform family used in FC 25.
As you can imagine this left fans extremely upset, here are some reactions:
please tell me this is a joke

Eh over 14 days almost eveyone will have it if they want it. It would be super toxic if not eveyone had it.
