EA, We Deserve Better

EA, We Deserve Better

I've been a devoted player for years, but this years "FC24", has left me utterly disillusioned. I need to express my frustration with EA as a company and the disappointing state of the gameplay.

EA as a Company

EA, has lost sight of what matters. All I see is a relentless push for FIFA points, and money spending. It's disheartening that players who invest in your games every year feel ignored. There's a growing sentiment that EA cares more about profits than about delivering a quality gaming experience, and you will find these forum all over the internet.

Unfortunately the repeated complaints across the community have fallen on deaf ears. It's disheartening to see a lack of responsiveness to player feedback, especially when some of us provide clear evidence of issues within the game. The decline in FIFA's quality has been since at least FIFA16, but it has reached a new low this year. Attempts to communicate with EA have been met with vague promises that lead to no real change.

Even if You look trough this forum, you will find that EA hasn't really responded to most issues, especially gameplay related, and really doesn't seem to care about its customer base.

It's time for a wake-up call. As players, we deserve a company that values us more than our wallets. We long for a EA alternative that truly prioritizes player satisfaction over profit margins. So as a veteran player, I really hope FIFA does release their own game, and I really hope it gives EA some serious competition, because this is becoming ridiculous.

And now, let's talk about the gameplay in FC 24. Honestly, it's a mess:

Objective Glitches: The main menu can't even figure out how to clear objectives properly, unless you restart the game.
Objective Sorting: Navigating objectives is a hassle, with completed ones buried beneath a mountain of unimportant ones, can you at least make them scroll to the top?
Pack Issues: Opening packs results in an absurd number of duplicates, especially when they're untradeable, rendering them useless. This is especially stupid when you buy untradable pack and get a ton of duplicates. And people have been complaining about this for years.
Inconsistencies: The only consistent thing in game this year is that nothing is consistent. I understand that not every pass or shot can be perfect, but sometimes just taping shot is super weak, other times it flies over the goal. Same with passes. Goalies either let a weakest shot possible somehow trough their hands, or make some ridiculous save no human could possibly pull off. Pushing players with lower PHY is either a foul or not, it cant be same scenario and a clean tackle in one game but a penalty in other.
Passing Logic: Passing is shoddier than ever, with players next to you, yet passes consistently going astray. A player can be wide open 5 feet from you and there can be a player 50 yards behind him that's not, but slightly tapping pass 50% of the time goes to far player somehow.
Shooting Problems: Shots miss excessively, regardless of the setting. Assisted shots shouldn't miss as much as they currently do.
Post Hitting Fiasco: Hitting the post five times in a game? Something's seriously off.
AI Absurdities: The AI is inconsistent, allowing better teams to outmuscle without consequences, while your attempts often lead to penalties.

Rivals: Ever since they took out relegation its been ridiculous. Not to mention that there's so many of these youtubers and pro gamers on your servers, it ruins the game for the rest of us. I really don't care if i lose or win, but if you keep playing and move up in divisions you reach a point where you win 1 in 20 games and its ridiculous, especially since you rewards are based on wins.  
The only credit I can give is the somewhat improved AI aggressively tackling, with a few instances of immediate red cards, a feature I never witnessed in previous FIFA versions. (unless it was PvP)

There's a lot more and I could go on and on but I'm  exhausted from dealing with EA, I hope other people that are currently pissed at this see this and stop playing this garbage, I'm honestly tired of this, but unfortunately till your business gets hit from the lack of quality there will be no changes.
