FC24 not sure how it wants to play

Needs to be faster in all areas. (but its slow to compliment the passing game and patience) You wont find someone who wants a simulation of real football more than me and am telling you slowing it down to unrealistic levels is not the answer for that.

Defending, Feels like it wasn't shipped with the game at all. You gave attackers an even bigger tool box this year but in return you even took the pace away from jockeying to match even the worst attackers. the worst attackers are better than the best defenders at  the moment, you cant keep adding more and more attacking variety while not adding some care into the defence.

Midfield is 1000 miles to far from the defence, the gap between the two is absolutely terrifying. No one drops in to take the ball from the defence. I set my depth to 1 and the CDM is only just starting to get involved but even at that its terrifies me how this is in a football game. the gap between the two is absolute no mans land.

player switching is a top priority fix out of all this. I am controlling my right centre back, I want to switch to the left centre back and when i flick stick it misses out the defender and hits the left back and worst of all that's when its flat so its and easy flick up AND IT NEVER HAPPENS. pressing the bumper to get closest player usually results in a gamble of someone around the area.

goalkeepers...don't even need to go into this as all areas of goalkeeping need to be addressed.

A feel like you don't know how the game was supposed to be and you guys ran out of time and just gambled on the end product and now everyone's getting these bizarre games of football everyday where they don't feel in control.

oh and the menus are an absolute labyrinth especially in FUT surely a quality of life change in there somewhere?

    i was completely happy with fifa23, the only reason i upgraded is for the new uniforms and team updates, but the gameplay is beyond disappointing. one main thing i miss the most is the r1/rb ball switch from foot to foot 🥺

    @mrmakaveli702 that was the main reason I decided to upgrade as well. I think what they should have done is just made a patch for FIFA 23 for this season and concentrate on perfecting the game for next season, instead of rush releasing this one with all the bugs in it

  • @JoeCarson85 What is this defending you speak of? It's absolutely diabolical isn't it. Great points!

    Too many balls rebound off my goalkeeper to an attacker, because he couldn't catch a cold. It seems to be potluck where the ball falls a lot of the time. Last night I played a match and the opponent was just pinging the ball all over the place.

    Switching is terrible. I have it set to on loose balls and air balls and most of the time I'm having to manually switch because it doesn't switch to the person nearest the ball

    Matchmaking in online seasons is absolute crap. I played three games last night against the same team, not the same opponent. All three games were totally different. The first one I was scoring goals for fun. Because of that first game I thought I was better at this than I actually am and the second game I got absolutely hammered, then the third game it could have gone either way. I lost the third game, but it was more enjoyable than the previous two games. I think the matchmaking needs to be based on the players skill level. I would rather play a close game than win too comfortably or get beat too comfortably.

    Controller connectivity is terrible at times, sometimes unable to pause or make substitutions and sometimes I am watching the AI play against my opponent, because the controller hasn't connected for whatever reason. The controller works fine on other games, including FIFA 23, so this isn't because my controller is broken or anything.

    Commentators concede a goal in the first couple of minutes and they say "They haven't been at their best today, it'll take a lot to get back into this". Also they'll say "a good clean challenge" when you tackle a player, next minute my player is shown a yellow card and concedes a free kick. Obviously it wasn't a good clean challenge then.

    Referees - Penalties are given too easily. Half the time I don't even know why I've conceded the penalty or why I was given one. Offisides is potluck. I've seen some blatant offsides that weren't flagged and also seen some that were onside that weren't. Bookings seem to be potluck too. I can just take the ball off a player by nudging him and concede a free kick and booking and then I have seen my opponent doing a hard sliding tackle with my player doing a somersault nearly breaking his neck and it's a "good clean challenge".

    everything is awful this year from sluggish gameplay to skating to goal keepers disappearing and on and on
