Re: Rate your EA FC 24 Experience so far / 10
Until they fix Pro Clubs, and the fact that their rating change they made a few years ago is STILL horrible, this gamer will forever be a 1/10. MAYBE it will go to 3/0 when they fix the pro club servers now that it's on the board. If you don't play Pro Clubs, here is one of the examples, and it's worse for Defenders and Goalkeepers still...
Starting a match, you start out at 6.0. Anyone who plays MID or FWD will constantly call for the ball and never pass back to defenders. So, 5 mins on the game clock, which is roughly like a minute, your rating will begin to drop. What makes it worse, is if you play your position as intended, your rating will still drop. If the ball never reaches near half pitch, you will keep losing rating for no reason at all. I have literally got to 20+ minutes into a match, getting down to a 5.4 rating because the ball just never came my way. Then, you have to fight tooth and nail to get back to a 6.0 rating, let alone coming near a 7.0 rating.
Going back to even FIFA 21 I believe, you could play your position and still get rating because you are in your position as needed. As soon as you step out of position, it will warn you and THEN start docking your rating. They need to bring this back. Especially for FWD's who do nothing but sit on the pitch up by the goalie and wait, or stand out of bounds so they don't get a AI pass and save their stamina. This would fix them and start docking them correctly so they aren't getting a 10.0 rating for barely playing. Back then, it was easy to have everyone 8.0 rated or above. Now? Yeah not going to happen.
To further prove the point and you think this is fair play, look at 50 games as a standard Forward, and look at 50 games as a Defender. Forwards who have a half decent game are averaging a 9.0 rating good for what, 1000 XP per game? And that's just the base XP. Now, let's look at a Defender. Average rating for a defender is about 6.6-6.8. Still not even close to a 7. That's 640 XP a game. 360 base points just because....why? Because we never get the ball? Because we play our position? Because we barely get to touch the ball to even make passes or a play? Oh, but you will reward us for playing out of position, but punish us for playing in our actual spots? 50,000 XP vs 32,000 XP. While attacking is already over powered and defense has been severely lacking, this is a HUGE problem. Will EA fix what they broke? I highly doubt it. It hasn't been balanced in years. Yeah they make defending a little better and fixed some GK issues, but the overall picture is still busted. 18K XP difference is massive when trying to keep up and defend. You just can't. There are Forwards that are lvl 50-60 already with 60-70 games played. I am 55 games in and level......36. That right there isn't fair.
So a 1/10 is highly justifiable for the way they are treating the back half of the pitch and need to stop catering to the easy attacks and glitch goals and start paying attention to the back half to keep the game a FAIR game.
