I’m fed up with pay to win online……plus why is game so broken
I very rarely play online for 1 simple reason, the game is pay to win. As I play for free I’m punished at every opportunity.
i don’t even buy the game, and haven’t done for the last 2 years because of the same issue, this year my son messed up and gifted me the game.
i played some online games today, and its even more of a notice, every team I played has messi that was given out for free during that 1 hour that EA is brushing under the carpet, and all have other toty players. I opened 50-60 free packs and got nothing, and because I play for free and meant to be for fun, I don’t trade etc, so trying to get coins to buy a toty player that’s good is impossible because of bad pack luck and nothing much seems tradable anymore
but onto the game play, i have a full fibre connection to the house on 500mbps hard wired to my ps5. I go into a game with 10-15 ping, not that it seems that matters with the poor servers EA use. And the game seems clunky and delayed in doing anything, except the game is reading my inputs as I have the controllers showing for input delays.
the passing is nowhere near as it should be, the players can’t dribble, or tackle. And with delays to shooting it’s easy to defend against. But I’ve noticed th the few games I’ve played, my team seems worse when playing against teams without 1st owners, it may just be me noticing the little things because the game is infuriating when you press pass, a delay and the ball is 5 yards nowhere near my player, then you see the oppo playing short fast passing with no issues, to the feet etc.
for this game to be successful EA needs to remove the very overpowered cards, an hernadez lb toty with 100 pace nearly shouldn’t be a thing, as that when the AI is in control of it cuts out any cross ball with no user input at all is just ridiculous, or the defending from AI being allowed to be so broken with certain players needs removing so the real human controlling actually needs to learn to play
