Played FC 24 for the first time
I am an avid soccer fan, didn't play FC 24 yet, no time to play games really, now I have more time and with the UEFA Euro coming up, I wanted to play a bit, I usually play alot offline and career mode etc..
I played through the whole Euro gamemode, the whole tournament, and ended up not really having any desire to play anymore, just not a good experience.
Some points I noticed and wish to hear feedback from some people who played longer about them
1. Simulations still seem completely broken and unrealistic, even worse than previous games... I know suprized are possible in soccer but when you have in the semifinals of Euro apart from my country : Austria, Poland and Turkey.... you know something is very wrong... this just kills immersion for me, sorry
2. Why is the ball so slow lol?? Particularly shots... what the heck? The ball travels so slow... if you look at real life if someone takes a good shot from just outside the box, the ball flies really fast, its like 1 second and the keeper parries it for example... in this game the shots are SO SLOW its insane and very unrealistic, even when finishing, look at real soccer and how they destroy the net if they shot from inside the box, yet here the players seem to shot the ball inside the box and it looks like some lofted shot, even if its a goal its slow and sluggish... what the heck?
3. Gameplay feels the same as previous fifas, maybe even worse, doesn't feel like any improvement at all in this regard, the players feel very sluggish and heavy idk why, I played fifa 23 alot and it felt better.
4. And im sure knowing the track record so far from EA, that I can safely assume there have been no major huge updates to career mode that have been asked for, for years and so easy to implement, right?
