The game is extremely unbalanced every counterattack = goal, but the combination play always ends in failure, you can't win with the tactic of keeping the ball in play. The only tactic in the game you can win with is kick and go sorry buying FC 24 thought they would produce a quality game but this is an insult to football. Above all the ultimate team gameplay is terrible.
Counter attacking is very OP ridiculous im in div 8 was a div 4 player last season. Its hard as hell unless you counter
I think it is due to delay in defenders moves - mine can not mark attackers, they just don't move with left stick first milliseconds
This has been the issue for several years. Between the delays in defender's moves, EAs's push for goals and buffed attackers, to clunky controls. What makes it worse is when you go into Pro Clubs and learn that a FWD/MID getting a 9.0 easily in every match is getting about 50K BASE XP in 50 games, where as a DEF who averages only 6.6-6.8 a game, because, EA screwed their rating system so badly, will only earn 32K BASE XP. So now they can level faster, get way more skill points, while the Defender and GK will struggle with the severe lack of XP. At least when the game only needed 100 games to have max skill points it was even territory. Yeah, gee, thanx for the bend over EA.
@Riditelvesmiru That's really frustrating. I'm ready to receive critics on my lack of skill in game, but it's hard to accept that I can not move my players and just watching others playing
@VadersStarfish same I'm stuck in division 8. when in fifa23 i was in division 3/4 SMH
Just played a rivals game, 22 shoots on target for me, 4 for my rival. He still won by 3-2.
Plus: on of his goals was an incredible error of my goalkeeper.
His goalkeeper got 14 catches, mine 0
So true...ea why are my players always standing ??? Why is there no stamina gauge? Players are always pressing 90 mins straight full bar stamina
Totally agree, the game is not playable at all. Worst 50 euro spend on my side. I am in 7th division and can't get any win, it is terrible. My squad is 86 and highest player is icon GK 88 packed , all other players from 84 to 86 and computer always put me against team with 4-5 icons and all others 90+. You can't do anything against those players. Defense is terrible. This is the worst game ever done, really sorry for buying it. Good bye EA, never again. You are joking with people.
I've always thought FC is way too much of a simulator that it ends being a game with a square, boring gameplay. There is no chaos, no anarchy in it, it's just pass the ball around for no purpose until you find an opening in the AI that ends up opening a space for you and it's been like this for years. In some editions, L1 and L2 + R2 passing has been a good counter to all this square gameplay countering people who put constant high pressure on you by just moving back and horizontally at the same time so you can find an open path to pass the ball constantly changing the diagonal while they chase you like headless chicken. In this last update you've added some weird delay on L1, you have increased the lack of ball control when using it which results in you giving the ball to neuroneless div. 5 sweaty idiots from an akward control animation, and you have added an ending animation that has some weird delay on it where you can't even pass the ball. With this you have successfully removed all traces of possible dribbling aside from unidimensional right stick skills, there is no Maradona style dribbling anymore where you can really trick your opponent with the next direction you'll take. You've dumbed down the gameplay and made pressure even more efficient with this change. L2 + R2 has some weird delay on it and some weird ball control loss as well, both are so slow now they are useless.
Please fix this asap, and more over, make them better than they were before the patch, because right now your game has zero arcade feel to it and is only a dull simulator with sweaties and people who don't defend who you can pass the ball around and score stupid unsatisfying goals to. And before anyone says it's delay, I tested both on Squad Battles and noticed how uneffective they are now. Why would you make your game even more unidimensional and remove the only thing that allows people to apply intelligence to it?
This is talking specifically about this latest patch's changes, which changed L1 and L2 + R2's delay and ball control. Sim advocates, refrain from commenting about something you haven't tested yet.
Its not delay my man (At least not only); Pay attention and you'll notice that your defenders actually move out of position and away from the damn attacking players with the ball majority of the time (& those are the times that the sadistic/disgustingly insulting in-game mechanics do anythinf and everything possible along with this stupud defenders positioning to make you lose a match)
Do whatever you want, when the game allows you to win you win. Else it is based on logic to beat u by any means fair or unfair
I was division 5 now I am division 7 can't win a single game ,everybody is playing pro .can attack can't score, some movements of the player's I play against are like live movements I have never seen them kinda. I don't know what happened to the game, but it is nearing the end and I think lot of players cheating cos they don't have what to lose, or I have forgotten to play this game in 3 day's time
