Re: Are you blind?

Game is boring and unbalanced. Littered with head scratching rage inducing moments when it takes you a second too late between input and actual execution to complete a pass, make a tackle, get an interception, and shoot the ball. Match that with the frustration of watching someone do and play fast like you want but the delay makes it not possible consistently. Playing under control and left stick dribbling and you are forced to take random touches into a defender 3-5 yards away with no real reason why your player would take such a heavy touch. To have players crash into your back running full speed while you are standing still protecting the ball and you are forced to take a heavy touch into a nearby defender. Being closer than penalty range with a top striker and either hitting the post or keeper getting an impossible save but playing against people who spin around outside the box to kick a prayer finesse shot or trivela for a goal. These issues on top of a laundry list issues are real problems and make this game frustrating and unfun. I really wish I hadn’t bought the game this year now but at least I’ve learned my lesson with EA Sports. This game plays absolutely terrible.

    @scumbagshawty Maybe not the advice you'd like to hear, but if a game is getting you this mad, take a break.

    I used to rage in almost every other FIFA. I have quit other FIFAs. I'm not Pro-level, I play this game casually. If the gameplay is making me mad, I'd rather quit the match and start a new one.

    While EA would love to have you continue playing their game, I'm sure they'd rather you take care of yourself even more.

    Don't be afraid to go and play other games if you're having a bad day with this one.

    I get that gameplay can be atrocious due to their servers. But, focus on what you can control, not what you can't.

    @Izzy_FUT_DubsI’d much rather they just fix the game. There’s a general consensus that there’s major issues. Put some effort into fixing them. I didn’t get this game for free. I paid hard earned money. Either way this will likely be my last game. Hopefully the competition releases on schedule and I won’t have to suffer anymore of EA Sports poor efforts.

    Almost every day I try to play one game and every day I ask myself why I did I do that. Right now, division, first 60 minutes destroyed my opponent and got 4:0. From 60th minute he just run and acore impossible, 5:4 at 82th minute so I easily quit and delete the "game". This is really last time I spent 100£ for this piece of ...

  • BHLazio you are telling everything right, and I dont know why this volunteer is answering with atittude that it is everything ok with the game when it is not. I hjave the same issues like you and I am from Croatia where we dont have severs and gamplay is sh** because of that. 

    I am playing this game because I like football and I like to grind and have a better team day by day, but with this issues that you said here I meet almoust every day and that makes this game unplayeble.

    Shame on you EA because you are doing this, and you could fix it if you want, but you dont.

    Yeah the game has been horrendous and the worst thing is it is so hard to keep up with the others too unless I buy packs, because I have now been unable to qualify for WL for the last 3 weeks all while the stronger players just get better and better with more rewards. I am actually struggling to put together a decent team because I cannot qualify for any decent rewards. 

    At the end of FIFA 23 I was almost elite level I could go 20 games unbeaten and now I am unable to even get 1 win in the play offs.

    I used to buy packs but I have stopped doing that simply because I do not accept the way the game has gone. I am sure there are many others who have stopped too.

    I did try and just do what everyone else is doing and play that silly 71 depth nonsense and I admit it did get me more wins, but only up until a certain point and then I started to realise that I am not actually playing a football game anymore. 

    So, I went back to my usual tactics because I did not enjoy the silly 71 depth and I was facing teams with far better players who would just muscle the ball away from me and sprint  off down the wing without me standing any chance of catching them. 

    99% of the goals are cutbacks and let me tell you now, if you do not have decent defenders, you have absolutely no chance of stopping those cutback goals.

    The majority of teams you come across will have their team set up to play that way to get CHEAP cut back goals which are basically unstoppable if your team is even slightly inferior.

    How on Earth am I supposed to play this game now? How am I supposed to put a team together when I have absolutely no chance of qualifying for the WL, it just became harder and harder after the first week I failed to qualify. 

    I cannot even do SBCS as I do not have enough fodder. 

    Not enjoying this game anymore and if this is really the direction the game is going then I really will stop playing and find a more enjoyable alternative. You have one more month to sort it out EA,

    Last 6 FIFA elite division, right now stuck in 6 division. With close control everyone can drible my whole team beacuse connection advantage is disgusting and every game I have delay about 1-2 second. I play on OLED TV, connection is only for gaming with router ROG GT, ping is 32-35 ms and game is unplayable.

    lol I almost won a game today, I was in fact 4-2 up and with 10 mins left to go my opponents AI tackled my defender due to the OP high press which led to him sprinting towards the goal and scoring and then a cut back to make it 4-4. Is that really skill? Where the AI press helps you tackle the opponent in the 85th minute with just as much energy as he had in the 1st minute?

    In previous Fifas I would wait patiently for a bit of stamina drain, I would usually go maybe 1-2 goals down in the first half against this type of opponent but I knew I would get my chance in the 2nd half due to stamina loss. There is now no stamina loss at all and lucky goals like this can still be scored all day long, nice one EA.

    Football is not limited to Jurgen Klopp style Geggenpressing. There is more than one way to play a game of football but currently that is all you are seeing.

    And the game lacks the right tactics to counter this style.

    I get that people don't want to play against people that just pass the ball around the defence for the entire game but you could just simply buff constant pressing a bit and that would quickly solve that, but perhaps buff it with a stamina cost..I mean maybe think a bit.

    Game requires no skill other than manual switching and spamming tackle to press but you try to dink the ball over a defender or take advantage of them being out of position with a lob and it’s 50/50 if the ball goes to your defender or 20 yards down the pitch directly to a center back. If you do complete the pass, that same out of position defender who was pressing you will run down the pass 15 yards down the pitch and be pressing you with the same defender before you can get control of the ball. Stop making the game for the minority of turds who pass the ball around the back while punishing the majority of us who want to do what makes sense and just play for fun.

    lol I don't even mind losing, but not like this. 

    I can accept when an opponent is a better player in fact I prefer to be challenged, of course who plays the game just to steam roll everyone? But losing like the way I am now, that I cannot accept.

    @scumbagshawty It's absurd, I try to used lobbed pass to counter the tsunami of players heading towards my player but the pass is so slow the tsunami swtiches direction and ends up taking the ball off me before it even reaches the ground, it's not even realistic. They even removed the lobbed through pass which was one of the most powerful tools to counter this pressing style I mean my God, whose dumb idea was that?

    Conclusion 1: game is garbage

    Conclusion 2: they don't care

    Conclusion 3: for players away more than 300 km from servers game is totally unplayable

    Conclusion personally: game deleted, Pele and Charlton are bronze in this mess, never preorder EA game again
