The State of EA FC 24
This may be a bit of a lengthy rant and for that I do apologise beforehand. However, there is just so much to talk about with this awful game that I cannot keep it short and sweet without using the m...

Yep, I posted this about a month ago. I too have been playing FIFA titles for a long time but, this one is awful. I saw one of the EA people write the other day in a reply to a post that this is a game of skill which I found to be quite condescending.
About a dozen or so games into the first season something changes and I may as well be watching it as the cpu does what it wants, my players suddenly feel as if they are treading water, their turns are slower, I bounce off cpu players or they just run right through me and I might aswell be playing Man City when I'm playing Bournemouth, every game is the same thing. 6 months since release and nothing has changed. I keep going back to my old FIFA 23 save and then trying again so back I go again as at least it's enjoyable. I've been playing FIFA titles since 98 and this is by far the least enjoyable, I've seen some writing about the gane crashing after the first season but, I havem't got to that as I haven't completed a season yet. The most frustrating thing is that underneath whatever is wrong with the game mechanics there is what could be an excellent gane here as some of the matches to start with are exhilirating but, as already said it becomes impossible to enjoy.
This is purely career mode as it's the only mode I play. The issues career mode has with the same bugs year after year are one thing but, this year it just isn't an enjoyable experience. It frustrates me that even though I payed the same price as players who play ultimate team, career mode has no love at all and almost every email I receive from EA seems to be Ultimate team based. I'm looking forward to see how 2K fare with their game and am hoping it will challenge EA as the arrogance seems to drip from these people.
Couldn’t have said it better myself buddy. The fact that they’re interpretation of this down to ‘skill’ shows they either do no testing of the game on higher difficulties or they believe that we are naive enough to not recognise when the game switches it up so it is impossible for the player to do well or get a result against the AI.
I also forgot to mention the bug where the press conferences talk about the wrong game or talk about losing to teams before which we are playing for the first time. This is another bug which I have seen mentioned plenty of times and seems a relatively simple fix compared to what they are actually ‘fixing’ but has not even been mentioned at all.
I understand that Ultimate Team is the money maker for them but they may as well just make a separate game for it if they are not even going to take notice of the other game modes. This is all said whilst Ultimate Team still has its glaring issues which are completely ignored.
I too am excited to see if 2K can pull it out the bag as I think there is a huge opportunity currently for another game to come in and sweep the competition. I think this is one of the only ways in which EA would finally listen to what we are all saying every day.
