Is EAFC also unplayable for you since yesterday?
Hello all,
I dared to buy the new EAFC again this year and played it from 22 September. Actually everything went very well. The players felt agile, passes were played directly and the inputs I made on the controller were also reliably implemented in the game. I had a lot of fun and if I ever lost a game, it was only when the opponent was obviously better or because I made mistakes that were actually my own fault. I had a lot of fun and was happy that this will finally be a good FIFA year. Since the mini-patch from yesterday (September 25th) the tide has completely turned again and the game felt like FIFA 23 again. I had server lags throughout, the game was no longer responsive at all. I was playing against clearly inferior players (I'd call myself a reasonably good FIFA player) who just came in from the outside and ran to the baseline, somehow passed the ball in and then scored a goal through it. Even when I knew what my opponent was going to do next, I couldn't block any more passing lanes and when I wanted to tackle my opponents they seemed untouchable and the ball was just out of reach.
When I was in possession of the ball, it was always passed randomly to another player than I actually wanted. Second balls always ended up with the opponent and no matter how many times I fought back in the game, I always saw some weird action that brought the opponent back into the game. Once even, a header extension from the opponent came towards my goalkeeper and he just let the ball roll through his legs into the goal (I didn't press anything on the controller while doing this). I was extremely frustrated again, like the last few years over and over again and I no longer believe that this is actually all coincidence.
Have you had similar experiences since yesterday?
Anyway, I'm already out for the year, for the love of my mental health. I've cancelled my EA Play Pro subscription and will be keeping my distance from this game. In other games I don't get upset as much as in EAFC or FIFA.
