Meta in FC24
I think another big issue making the game less enjoyable is the range of what is considered “META”. Think of League of Legends for a moment. Of course there is always Meta and broken things, but the variety of those things is big enough so that the player can feel they are being unique and creative. What is considered meta you have more options. In FIFA; the mets is so narrow it’s like you’re playing the same guy every game. That’s what makes the community toxic. When you see Mbappe and Eusebio up top doing a full press. And you feel guilty to use the same tactics but it’s the only way to be competitive. It’s not skill, everyone uses the same custom tactics, small set of players. The ranking of Playstyles is too broad as if you don’t have anticipate+ for example you’re at a disadvantage. Play styles should be weighed less as again depending on the patch same cards that were meta may not be meta anymore simply due to playstles. Keep in mind that most cards are untradeable. From SBCs to even most packs being untradeable. Even if from gameplay rewards. So some players become essentially obsolete as you are at a disadvantage. In league of legends, although there is a tier list of champions obviously, YOU CAN STILL PLAY ANY AND HAVE FUN WITH ANY CHAMPION!
