Pay to Win ?

Tonight I finally deleted my this game off my console. I might pick it up at a later date, but I’m curious if there’s anyone like me who hasn’t bought FC points experiencing a clear difference in the game.

For instance, my back linenever holds its shape even when I focus on using the midfielders to defend. No matter what instructions I use or formation or width or depth.

I can be square up against a guy with the ball out front with Ruben Dias and miss a standing tackle. I remember flat out missing one with Varane (standing tackle play style+) completely squared up with guy using sprint and going straight through the guy no skill moves or anything to evade me. 

I’ve gotten real good at recognizing when I have an odd, random errant pass that I will then almost without fail give up a goal and typically there’s some suspicious about the shot in particular. It’ll be an outrageous trivela or a situation where I tackle the guy 3 or 4 times but just can’t seem to get possession. 

I’ll get through on goal and between me pressing shoot and actually shooting someone will either tackle me from behind or come from some unreal distance to block the shot. 

When playing against people, they can make crazy standing tackles even when out of position with mediocre or poor defenders. I seal off players and they just run around me but guys can be spamming tackle BEHIND me and affect my player without fouling.

I notice this and some other things the most when I’m playing against a guy with loads of special cards (one month in implying he’s bought his team)

Am I the only one ?

  • @scumbagshawty It’s definitely become PTW I’ve said it time & again mate. Just commented on a post saying I played someone last night with 8 special cards in his team (his 3 Rare Golds were Haaland/Bellingham/Valverde) not to mention the dudes he had on his bench. The big issue for me with this game right now is the erratic passing along at other things of course. I literally point my left stick at my player, press the pass button, then it goes somewhere completely different. Best example is when I’m taking a FK & pass it to where the little line (apparently) will show me where the ball travels to. I could be looking at my CM directly in my line of sight and my player will turn around 180 degrees & pass it straight back to my defence. Whenever I do manage to play a pass, especially a through pass, the player I was aiming for, seems to run around in a little circle allowing my opponent to cut in & intercept. I’ve never known a game to have so many issues (and coming from a guy who’s played every single edition of FIFA since the first one) that’s a pretty damning statement to make.

    @f997e3deb5f28651 Exact same reason for the ‘rewards’ for grinding 90 games in Rivals was a tifo that nobody asked for & majority of us use. At least in previous FIFA we got something even 2 x Prime Gold Players packs. All EA want are for you to bite the bullet & spend even more money on getting some FP. I’m just going to concentrate on getting the minimum 3 wins in Rivals & not get too fussed when I don’t qualify for WL as the rewards are laughable.
