Well first off I don't tell people not to post. Posts like the game is rubbish this and blah blah that add nothing to the conversation. They are pointless posts.
So if I can take into account animations and play the game and you have been UK no.2 some years back how are you not reading them? The game is either smooth or not. Plenty of players are playing the game and get along fine with it. So it isn't just the game.
I never claim the game is perfect.
As for the other post. Playing against constant pressure is not fun and is not how the game should play. It is unrealistic and players not losing energy quick enough was never right. That should never return to the game.
I still play in plenty of games where the best player wins. Sure, robbery happens sometimes but that happens IRL. I have lost games 1-0 and I have hit the post, bar and had shots cleared off the line. Does it annoy me? Yes. But I move on knowing I had the opponent but just couldn't score in that game.
I see a lot of posts from the same people. It is a tiny portion of EAs customer base.
I dislike UT. The people I see complaining about UT being pay to win etc... and still play. I have watched UT reluctantly on Twitch and everything about it looks unrealistic. 100mph horrible looking same goal exploits over and over. Pace pace pace...
I like conversation about the game.
But posts claiming it is the worst game ever are totally silly and overreacting. Anyone with real gaming history and culture know there have been some really bad games. This is far from one of them.
