Is EAFC24 the worst EA game ever created?
I have been a faithful of EA sports since 2006. I used to enjoy playing the game, and it used to bring joy. For some reason it has deteriorated iver the past few years, but nothing comes close to EAF...

The worst. They madę a p2w game. For those who made a hero pick 87+ and w8 for compesation u will get nothing of you dont spend extra money for premium packs in shop. They forget about players but never forget to put a new 700k pack in shop.
my friend who put a lot of money in this game i see how he’s drop look’s like. Every hero/icon pick he get the best cards and me who dont spend money… every time fodder.
I would say the only thing worse than old fifas is the market. The power curve changes each week.
I dunno if people forget old fifas were much worse. You don’t have any content only single matches. So people used silver teams to play starter bronze teams. Since there was nothing to do people got bored.
Gameplay was nothing but lb and y with pace. You also didn’t have servers it was p2p so the other persons connection would start and stop the game. That was when it was really unplayable not like today.
Although the prices of the market were better they had bid tokens which limited how much you could trade so that was a positive and a negative. The market was also down on the app for months at a time.
Is this years perfect no but it’s so much better than old fifas.
@RadioShaqs I Don't know if you're on the staff at EA or if you're a volunteer but I think people within EA need to start listening to what the community are saying. Look at this forum, look at any tweet about fifa, absolutely everyone is saying the same things about this game. It's unplayable. Literally every single game is side to side 1000 times in their own half, bounceback after bounceback, bugged goal and then sit back and get the AI to defend for you. It's the most disgustingly toxic, AI driven pile of garbage that any producer has ever put out
I've desperately tried to get a refund and I can't get one but i'll never buy another EA title after this one. It's appalling
I am just a volunteer but my game plays fine. In the old days I would get that start stop lag with p2p. That’s when everyone on the original forums would complain and ask for servers. Luckily ea listened and it improved the experience.
- @RadioShaqs Servers aren't the problem with FC24, the problem is that the AI is so heavily overpowered that games aren't won and lost by user input, they're won by whoever's chosen the most broken tactic to get the AI to defend for them. Every single game there's absurd auto tackles and interceptions, AI getting away with obvious fouls when you're through etc... but when you actually play manually every tackle bounces straight back to the attacker and they get given free goals, or you'll have a freekick given against you for absolutely no reason.
The things i'm seeing in this game since the update last week are genuinely disgusting. The player base is more toxic than it's ever been, pay to win teams everywhere you turn and there's no fairness whatsoever in the gameplay.
No. This is not the worst game, not the worst FIFA, etc.
Melodramatic post.
Here is probably the biggest thread. I believe ea posted I dunno 20 times explaining how to post the connection score and a video with the input overlay on. I dunno why but people just seemed to miss or ignore how to turn on the input overlay on. With it on you can see if you are getting server delay or if your presses are being registered immediately.
Hopefully a few in here could actually follow the instructions as it might help others experiencing issues.
https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Ea-FC-24-When-Playing-Online-there-is-huge-delay-when-i-press/td-p/12955157/page/63As far as enjoying the game like I said I have issues with this years game not servers. I mean they should have offense be manual why it’s not forced online still is disappointing. Most don’t even know how to turn manual offense on.
But I just remember what 12 was like and can enjoy all the improvements. To me it’s come along way from the start of fut. Maybe it’s not the same for you but I posted most of the issues I thought were worse in older fifas already.
The game exists and is designed to make money. That is it. With a monopoly EAs game is how little can we put in to still get a lot out. That's it .
It’s funny because you have EA partnered streamers saying the gameplay is awful but here we are being told it’s not that bad, partnered streamers who have direct contact with the developers saying the gameplay is awful
- @RadioShaqs Got to disagree with anything this version has to offer being better than the last version. This version still has soo many glitches that are being exploited, still has inconsistent gameplay, for example one user passes perfectly while the other struggles to even move...I've had 5 games like that tonight alone in the UK, and its infuriating that a game at this stage in it's shelf life is still so poor. However I think most people are talking about p2p experiences not single player, which brings me to SBs. That mode has suffered this year also. Why is world class mode easier than professional in almost all games?
This version is simply dreadful and there's no getting away from it.theres no point in trying to explain report or anything as far as ea is concerned its the players with the problems not them even tho everyone you look at on these forums has the exact same issues for every issue you have during your matches. but what i will say is ask yourself this question why have all previous games had the same issues time and time again as it is im now in talks with trading standards ea has been reported to the ombudsman and the game is now removed from my system never again will i waste my money on such garbage oh and as for mods being volunteers i think we all know that is not true we all know who you work for :P
I am talking about older fifas not last year. Like fifa 12 when there was no servers and the market was down all the time. There was also no content no game modes nothing to do. Sure last year and this year are pretty similar but it’s about is this the worst ea game ever I wouldn’t even say it’s the worst in the series.
@RadioShaqs I genuinely am happy for you that you're getting some enjoyment out of this game, because that's what video games are for! Is there any advice you could pass on to the rest of us to enjoy the game more? I appreciate this message might come across as sarcastic through text but it's not meant to be, I'm genuinely curious as to what you might be doing differently that's helping you get a different experience?
For me I think my experience is slightly hampered by the fact i'm in elite div because you naturally come up against players who abuse the system and do everything they can to get a win up there, rather than just playing for the enjoyment. But my main problem with the game this year is that the gameplay doesn't feel fair. There are SO many games i play where I completely outplay the person i'm up against and create chance after chance but get no luck whatsoever (Could be bouncebacks, could be their keeper making ridiculous saves, could be user input being ignored etc...), but my opponent only needs the AI to make a tackle for them and spray one throughball then they'll bundle their way through with deflection after deflection and I concede
Previous versions have always had problems with them but i've never felt there was an unfairness in the gameplay where absolutely everything was weighted towards one person. Sure, there's probably been games i've played where i've benefitted from it too but it shouldn't be the case, user input should always be the most important thing. I struggle to find it fun when custom tactics and the overpowered AI are so broken that it almost feels like your opponent has Mario-Kart style powerups
- @RadioShaqs How is LB Y over the top ball any worse than run to byline and cutback?
Each year has its metas. If anything older fifas were much more dynamic in metas than 24 which is run to byline and cutback or nothing.Don’t get me wrong pace and non manual offense is still a problem.
Lby was on another level though. That is why emenike mayuka ect where used. The lob would force defenders to take a couple steps forward to allow the offense to blow by them. Also cbs didn’t have the pace to keep up besides the actual gameplay.
Besides that you could run around gk with ease too. No skill moves or feints or anything like that.Ea has done a better job of bringing offense inline with defense since then. You still won’t see 0-0 games and players without being close to 99 pace being used but it’s better.
