This needs to be fixed, I want to love this game but it's so so hard right now

I've been a fifa/ FC player since Fifa 14 and through a lot it has been a constant in my life, but this year's game feels so broken and impossible that I may end up having to give it up for good just to preserve my mental health. I understand that a certain amount of my struggles are skill related issues and I tend to choke in the biggest moments, but the constant red cards ( my center backs has 9 between the 2 of them already, often from tackles at or near the halfway line), the inability to score reasonable chances but somehow always score the most ridiculous-8 bounce- blocked 5- times- striker doing frontflips over the defender- bs is the most frustrating experience I've had while gaming. Paired with the fact that whoever happens to have the ball when extra time begins will virtually always score in tight games (just a coincidence though, right?), and the fact that the ksi kickoff glitch somehow still works and costs games results in a gameplay experience that has no joy, no fun, and oh so much anger. I'm not a violent person in the slightest but nothing makes me feel like throwing my tv off a bridge quite like playing this game at the moment. 

lastly, what's with no XP for games played anymore? and 200 xp a day? I get that you have to make the game a long term experience but I have nothing to grind for and I just missed out on champs qualifications because of a bunch on nonsense so I have no reason to play this weekend at all. I get that the point of the game at the end of the day is to make money (as sad as that is) but I've already spent hundreds on Fifa points and I really can't justify anymore at this point. 

nothing to grind for, no fun being had when playing online, what feels like blatant scripting, and no sign of any real fixes anytime soon. Being from Vancouver this is especially disappointing. I hope this gets fixed soon but I'm not optimistic. 

ps. are you guys hiring?

  • I had an evolved Nunez that did a finesse shot inside the box on an open goal (keeper out of position), and he missed. I've never seen anything quite like that. I've seen a lot of nonsense but this was next level. Quit shortly after that and went to do something different to actually make myself and my life better.

  • @Baconstrips99 Hey there,

    I genuinely feel your frustration, and I can understand how certain aspects of the game can be infuriating. FIFA and FC titles have been a significant part of many of our lives, providing both joy and moments of intense frustration.

    1. Gameplay Issues: From the numerous red cards to the unpredictable scoring scenarios, I can empathize with the unpredictable nature of the game this year. Many users share these sentiments, and it's indeed disheartening when such issues disrupt the gameplay experience you've enjoyed over the years.

    2. XP System: The reduced XP indeed alters the dynamics of grinding in the game. I too feel that EA should reconsider its XP strategy to maintain player interest and make the grinding process more rewarding.

    3. Monetization Concerns: FIFA points have always been a topic of discussion. While I understand the company's objective to generate revenue, the balance between enjoying the game and feeling compelled to spend can be a delicate one.

    4. Potential Fixes: Like all games, there's always hope for patches and updates. EA is known to make gameplay adjustments based on community feedback. Let's remain hopeful that they address the community's concerns in the upcoming updates.

    5. Hiring: On the note of hiring - while I can't speak on behalf of EA, many major gaming companies are constantly on the lookout for passionate players who can provide insight and skills. It might be worth checking out EA's official careers page or keeping an eye on job boards.

    Lastly, remember that while games are a source of entertainment and passion, it's vital to ensure they don't adversely impact your well-being. Sometimes taking a break can offer a fresh perspective. Whatever you decide, I genuinely hope your gaming experience improves and wish you the best in all endeavors. Cheers!

    @Heman_Superman red cards are off the scale this year. I could count on one hand the number of reds I was given last year, and conceding penalties was a rarity. You breathe near a player in the penalty box and it's an instant dismissal and a penalty. I've hard tackled players in my box and not been booked for it, but then I'll press x and kick the ball from a players foot and I concede a penalty. I've been awarded penalties that wouldn't usually be penalties so I have seen it on both sides. If you want an easy penalty then just attempt a bicycle kick and miss (I have been awarded a penalty and conceded one for that lol, unbelieveable)
