FIFA24 Ultimate Team - Algorithm for even and fair match-ups!!!

Dear EA,

I have been a fan of the FIFA franchise since day one. I loved the fact that you introduced match-ups through Ultimate Team. But what you have now is an absolute oversight and disappointment on your behalf. Let me ask you simple question? What is the point of playing FIFA 24 Ultimate Team. To win some game and to lose same games. But when someone has been promoted (not that they wanted to be!) they find themselves in a division where they lose 97% of their games!!!!!! Where is the fun in that????? It's not only, not fun! It's more frustrating than you can imagine. You just hope you might play someone on your level and you NEVER do!!!!! They are all too good! Humiliating you. What's the point EA???

Why don't you

1. Improve your algorithms??? So that people can have more even match-ups. It's the most obvious thing. Do it. Or you will lose more people from this franchise. I hope you pay attention to cosnumer feedback because everyone I speak to has had enough. My son and all 20 of his friends don't play FIFA 24 anymore. More are dropping out by the day. So fiix it would be my advice.

2. If you can't do algorithms (which we all know you can) then why don't have button that says: RELEGATE YOUR CLUB so that you can find a level that suits you!!!

I'm dropping out of your franchise. You created a monster by not allowing people to play at level that suits them. Thanks for the fun, back when it was fun.

Now it's just a pain in the arse.

Yours sincerely,

James Dodd

    Hey @Bernd301 FC24 is a game of skill and if you are finding it difficult then the best thing to do is to take a look at what the pros are doing. You'll pick up some tips and tricks to improve your gameplay.

  • The fact that you say its a game of skill just proves your not playing it. Im guessing you heard this from your boss and just keep on repeating it like its true

    I play all the time @BobbyBriggs and more I play the better I get.

    It is a game of skill, like all games.

  • If u say so.

    it seems more like a defending simulator now. Game is a pain to play. Player AI is just horrible. Tactics on this game will affect how your players react. and with that i mean speed wich is just crazy.

    if i play 433 my players will be fast against some formations, but on other formations they feel slow and sluggish.

    Players dont make room. just standing close to defenders ready to be tackled if u pass the ball. oh and when i tackle the ball goes back to him, tackle again back to him and so on.

    Defenders dont press up or understand offside. they fall back and create space to opposition. In fact game is so bad the defending AI is the one who creates the chances for opposition.

    So... A normal match for me is pretty much pressing the opponent for 95% of the time having 10 chanses. XG ratio like 4:1 to me and me loosing after my defenders either decide to push up no matter what setting i use. Either he just pass to F.ex Saka on the wing and goes sthraight thru my defender and then runs 50 meteres clear ontowords goal and scores. Or one of my CB will decide to drop deep and create buckets of space for his attackers to run into. Like seriously...WHY.

    Even kids understand offside, but clearly thats to hard to make your 95 rated defender understand. Either its on purpose or its just horrible coding or game engine.

    Seriously, my best matches is when im not even trying. just messing about not even trying too win. Like the game is punishing you for attacking. its better if you just mess around and get the ball and counter.

    Cause if u actually try to play this u will be punished.

    At the end of the match its like u all of a sudden dont have anyone open to center too either. like the game wants u to lose the ball so opponent can win it and counter in a late goal.

    Such great gameplay! Its like someone who never watched football but only heard about it coded this. And thats not ment to be rude. thats really how it seems!

    Im not even going to comment the crossing and stay away from center or even the fact that evryone only use one tactic cause tactics are so hard coded that it decides there running lanes.

    But the game also cheats. My player f.ex will not turn where i want or gain enough speed for a second. or they move away to let the opposition take ball.

    And tackles in this game! Im not going to go into it, i figure we all know how terrible they are! Like seriously, how could this be released in this state!

    Player switching is horrible...

    I would actually say that only players without skill think this is good and would be unable to see how bad this game is.

    There shouldnt be custom tactics in the game at all. As long as they are people will have a Meta and find weaknesses in game engine.

    Skill based games shouldnt be about who can exploit the META the best... 

    But if u say its skill based i respect u for beliving it. Even if i dont. But one last thing... Not all games are skill. Most yes.. But some are just luck. What skill do u need to win a lottory? Besides money like this game

    What kind of comment is this "the best thing to do is to take a look at what the pros are doing. You'll pick up some tips and tricks to improve your gameplay."?

    Why would you say to watch pros if the game is working properly?

    Is it because the game is full of glitches and exploits which some of us are not interested to learn from "pros" but we see them in every other game with "skilled" glitch abusers?

    Some of us want proper gaming experience and to find our own style of play!

    Let me tell you something about games - you get better by playing, experimenting, finding new strategies ... not by watching Twitter "pros" where the only thing you learn is how to exploit built-in glitches (not intended to be fixed).

    But not here in EA FC ... I'm pro when the game is working properly, but at some point my players get disabled, *, braindead, reacting like zombies and I CAN'T do anthing about this and I guess I suddenly become unskilled.

    Is it Handicap, Momentum, Scripting, DDA or whatever are people talking about, I'm not sure (and oh, yes,, feel free to susped my account - I don't realy care), but I'm 1000% sure it is there, it exists and there is good reason why you are threatening people wit bans an suspensions if  they talk about this.

    It is the most well thought and developed feature of the game - not letting the player have control over the game, and making him frustrated so that he goes and spends money on points.

    I was playing Qualifiers for WL - won first 3 games (as well as rivals games before this), lead in 4., lost in last minutes of the game and lost next 6 straight games? 

    All of the sudden didn't have enough skill, didn't watch enough "pros" ?

    This is the only game where you actualy get worse resilults by playing more. You are not progressing, not getting better - just geting more frustrated ...

    Who needs good players? You (EA) needs a lot of frustrated ones to earn a lot of money and few "pros" to lead the sheaps ...

    Make this commitment to "power of positive play" a real thing and not just marketing gimmick!

    Yea, for some reason when people say its about skills. i just think to myself that they cant be very good if they cant notice how blatanly obvious it is how bad the game works against you. Game is terrible and i definetly wont be buying it in the future. to bad cause i love football. but this is just a greedy frustrating money grab
