Re: High press in EA FC 24 makes this game unfair to play
Man, I literally had to create an EA account for this to express my frustration on the gameplay as well and a lot of it revolves around exactly what you 're saying. This is a MASSIVE issue. I can't even compete anymore in online seasons because I am only afforded the ability to switch the ball around the back and then hope I can pass the ball to my wingers to take it down the field in the hopes of getting a cross and 45 degree pass in. The constant pressing and inability to play the ball through the middle is extremely unrealistic and frustrating. Having played this game for over 10 years the gameplay has never been this horrid. I am considering buying PES and other soccer video games because EA FC has messed up the gameplay so badly. I went from competing in online seasons at the divisions 2 - 4 level to now getting relegated in division 8. HOW!? Are you kidding me. I literally have to refer to people who promote EA FC 24 and make a living off of playing it competitively to see if they're having the same issue. OH, and guess what they are having the same issue. It's not a skill issue, it is the video games functionality that needs to be refactored. If they don't prioritize this on their roadmap because their only looking at metrics focused on increasing revenue which are in other game modes of EA FC like ultimate team where it can be very transactional I'm going to be so pissed off. It's already bad enough that loyal followers of what is now EA FC have to deal with playing to adhere to the current mechanics of gameplay that CLEARLY need to be fixed.
I understand that this is just a video game, but I'd like to enjoying the $70 USD video game I buy...
I apologize for being so negative as I am not here to be a nuissance in the community, but the mechanics of gameplay need to be refactored. This is a business critical area that is being compromised in EA FC 24. If this doesn't get seen and at least discussed amongst the internal teams developing this video game then what is the point of this forum.
