Re: Will team introductions return?

This is a joke company. I cant believe they removed all pre match cutscenes with the famous champions league athem and club athems. This year i had high hopes and thought they would add new realistic things after fifa 23 career mode. Instead they removed anthems, one very important thing that made career mode special. I would rather play fifa 23 career mode. If they wont make a change untill the release it will be the last time i ever buy a football game from EA. Because its obvious they dont care about the community.

    If EA still has any respect for the public that plays career mode then fix those * quick cutscenes you put in the game, bring back field entries and lineups like in FIFA 23

    Everyone is upset about this. Hopefully they can change it in an update.

    I agree it’s truly frustrating how little they care about career mode, not only in fifa/FC but in NHL they also literally put out the same product every year with a few new cutscenes. I really hope they get this one right though, it truly shouldn’t be that difficult to implement… even as an option in the settings.

    I hope I'm not the only one feeling this way, but I'm seriously frustrated with the recent changes to the pregame presentation in Career Mode. While I appreciate the addition of new cutscenes before the game, I can't help but wonder why they decided to remove some of the essential elements, like showing the lineups and other immersive features that we enjoyed in previous editions.

    EA Sports has all these fantastic licenses for broadcast packages, music, and more, but it feels like they're not fully utilizing them. It's disappointing to see these assets not being used to enhance the game's presentation.I understand that some players may want a quick entry into the game, and that's fine; they could simply provide an option to skip the elaborate pregame sequences. But for those of us who relish the immersive experience, these changes are a letdown.

    I'm really hoping that EA Sports takes note of the community's feedback on this issue and considers bringing back some of these beloved features in future updates. It's evident that many of us miss the depth and authenticity that the previous pregame presentation offered. Let's make our voices heard, and hopefully, we can see positive changes on the horizon!

    You say frustrated but I say furious. The music of "Local Hero" at St James' Park as the team sheets were displayed and the players ran out would always get the blood racing and now it's gone. Every match now feels flat and pointless.

    It has the stench of low attention span FUT whingers all over it.

    I complained about it during the BETA but naturally, they never even acknowledged it. The only comments they ever reply to in this place are the ones blowing smoke up their proverbial.

    I'll be holding off the purchase until this is fixed (which it likely won't be) and they change or remove the farce that is the micromanaging hell of the new training/sharpness nonsense.

    I've merged a couple of similar threads so hopefully it's easier for EA to follow the issue

    @MerzaqAmine Sorry to be the voice of reason but that’s never going to happen. They have never listen to us and they never will unfortunately.

    Still only 7 subs on the bench… manager career mode freezing and crashing still not fixed with the update (when they knew about this on the 19th!).

    Media still ask pointless questions.

    The list is endless with things we’ve been asking for. Which haven’t been done

    EA won’t listen… They aren’t at all bothered about the game to be honest. They only want your money!

    Exactly. To my own fault I was really excited when buying this game to jump straight into a Newcastle career mode where i try every year to squeeze any amount of immersion EA can actually offer, one of those being the pre match line ups. To then go into my first game of the season only to be shown the newly added pre game cutscenes and then just to be thrown into the match without the player walkouts was a real punch in the gut, especially on top of all the other bugs in career mode.

    Out of all the problems with career mode upon this games release, this is the one that angers and baffles me the most. A feature that has been a part of the game for longer than I can remember is now removed with no explanation. This seems like something that was changed with only ultimate team and players in mind without anyone thinking about how it affects the offline modes. They’ve completely missed the mark here. 

    This change really made me regret buying this game and I’ll definitely be more careful before buying any future games as they’ll probably end up pointlessly removing another immersive feature. What goes next? Fan chants? Refs displaying cards? Removing all but one weather condition?. Also how hard is it to randomise which side of the pitch the home and away team start on, I just want to be running down to the Gallowgate in the second half but as the game is this will never be possible, but hey at least I can hit the griddy when I score another trivela shot from outside the box on ultimate team 🙂)))))))

    No it hasn’t, it’s just been noted. It’s not on the trello board which shows issues being worked on.

    They won’t do anything about it because they don’t care. It’s up to them to prove us wrong on that by answering our calls on here!

    I don’t quite think they realise yet how many people are infuriated by this and will vote with their wallets!

    The post literally says "we have raised this with the team"

    The trello tracker isn't live. It says on it "We will aim to update this board once a week".

    I've not seen anyone from EA post something since the post I linked above. If they do I imagine it'll be in this thread or that other one I linked.

    I just don't understand when topic like this comes up, where its OVERWHELMINGLY agreed that something isn't right, why not fix it? At the very least acknowledge it? It's like my when 5 year old nephew draws on the wall, but refuses to answer when his mom asks " Was this you?" He knows he screwed up, but won't own up to it. How long did the skinny arms thing go before it was acknowledged and fixed? I'm not a dev, but if CD Projeckt Red could fix Cyberpunk 2077 (unmitigated disaster at launch), EA could fix this. It's been in the game FOR YEARS. It's not a new mechanic. It's still in the PS4 version for crying out loud. How is next gen a worse game ??? Someone make this make sense.

    Everyone in agreement, please send your feedback to EA_LeonSK. 

    *We come in Peace and our intentions are good* I needed to preface that because EA Sports FC should be lightyears of NBA 2K in general, and especially when it comes to CAREER MODE. It is so sad old gen is ahead of new gen when it comes to Stadium Atmosphere, Formation showcases, and Lineups with Club and/or League's Anthem that actually made FIFA 23 so realistic, as well so much more.

    This is what I posted on the EA Sports FC 24 Beta Forum —> Career —> General Feedback (Answers HQ): As a competitive player against both real people and cpu/a.i., I want to play against the absolute best players and the best lineup when facing cpu/a.i, while Game Difficulty is on Legendary or Ultimate, as well as Competitive + Player Based Difficulty being ON. The following bullet points will assist with improving this under-appreciated Game Mode, and hopefully, the Devs will invest more time and resources into this even if the Suits are unable to find a way to make more money from it like they do with FUT:

     
    *An overall more intelligent Transfer market and Board Decisions on who they Sell, Loan or Transfer. Also, if there are prospects or other players who will never get playing time during a Campaign, put them on loan to develop.
     
    *More realistic transfers during the Transfer Market. Even when set on Strict, at times a club will Transfer a player to a direct or indirect rival in their League then not even replace the player/backfill the position they transferred.
     
    *Please fix the issue where some clubs will transfer or do not resign a certain position on their club like a LB, for example. They will never bring in a LB for multiple transfer windows, but will sign a ridiculous amount of RBs (who strictly play RB) to compensate for not backfilling the LB position in their club.
     
    *In fifa 23, some clubs would move certain players out of their position(s) when going down a goal or even when going up a goal -- it is so weird and random. Please just ensure all cpu/a.i. controlled clubs keep their realistic formations~game plans throughout an entire match regardless.
     
    *Consistently receiving Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly Awards regardless of the SAVE file and/or if you re-do a simulation. Right now if you back out of the original SAVE or do multiple simulations, the Awards News will disappear. It's like you have one save or simulation to see it.
     
    *More user-friendly, streamlined Edit Player menu. Any time you finish making an edit to a player, then Save or Cancel the edit, the game will make you go all the way back to the Default Club vs letting you continue your edit on the team you were last on which creates a huge inconvenience and waste of time because those 20-45 seconds being sent back to the Default Club/Edit Player start menu to look for a club and their associated player(s) adds up. 
     
    *More intelligent ~ User’s Defensive cpu/a.i. need hella improvement when playing~controlling only your Pro during the match. Too easy to get counter attacked and not recover, too many huge gaps in the middle of the park or in the penalty box, no real challenges or pressure when in 1v1 situations or even when being helped by a fellow cpu/a.i. player. 
     
    *More intelligent ~ User's Offensive cpu/a.i, for example, cpu/a.i. making unnecessary dribbles, slows down or does some weird motion/mechanic, or passes when they have an opportunity to take the defender(s) on to create a chance for themselves or their teammates. 
     
    *While only playing~controlling your Pro, you should still be allowed to set Attack~Balance~Defensive~Ultra Defensive, tell the team to press in when necessary..etc. because to the previous points, the User’s cpu/a.i. are terrible.
     
    *Making sure players throughout a club don't receive an immediate role change, loss of playing time or being removed out of the lineup/rotation all together because of a bad game/poor player rating in a previous match.
     
    *Please add National Anthems during introductions for international matches (Friendlies and Competitive).
     
    *Issue during International and European Competitions (Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League) where it does not show the full introduction of the starting 11s for both teams.
     
    This was a post from @ramjet729: “Are the new pre-game cut scenes replacing the traditional walkouts/anthems, or are those never in beta? I know some of the cut scenes include a few seconds of the anthems, but this change would be disappointing. No tifos either, and the broadcasters don’t go over the team lineups." and @beamrayz reply: "Exactly what I was thinking, I'd suggest in the actual game after the new tunnel cutscene, the traditional walkout from fifa 23 should be straight after it instead of going into the match straight away."
     
     
    We invest our hard earned money, so it is only right(eous) Devs make these fixes before the release of EAFC 24, please? We thank you for your time and efforts.
     
    *Here we are 10/18/2023* Integrity, Ethics, and Empathy--there are a good number of people who do not want to waste their money in fut which has zero carry over from the items purchased to the next title/EA Sports FC 25, 26, and so on. <--- another idea that would benefit the community.
