Online matches are ridiculously too difficult
For the past several weeks it has been practically impossible to win an online match, not even close. I'm getting smashed three goals in the first 30 minutes and I can't even reach the opponent's pen...

@RadioShaqsI would be totally okay with them going back to the old way even if the rewards are not as good. For two reasons:
1- I can always play in a division against equally skilled players all the time.
2- The rewards I have been getting in division one are fodder trash anyway. I never got any decent card that would go into my squad from reward packs. getting worse packs is not something that would disappoint me at all.
@wassimabdul Mate, if you went back to the old 'drop a division by relegation and not winning' you'd be playing people who cheated that system back then. Folk who wanted easier rewards. I think was in fifa 20 or 21, Div 4 rewards were apparently better than the top 3 flights, so no, That system sacked.
Actually just read the pitch notes for next year. While it won’t help you this year they will bring back division dropping and longer checkpoints.
That's good news and I wish they would implement it today; I don't know any other video game that prevents you from playing against people with the same skill level. Lots of players were taking advantage of this system and had easy matches all year long while others were punished for making the mistake of leveling up in divisions. Going up and down in division rankings is fair for everybody.
My main problem is inconsistent gameplay....
Delay between pushing a button and player performing the action is anything from immediately to a couple of seconds late.
One example:
- I am on counterattack
- I push shoot
- Nothing happens for a second or so
- Now the position of the player is no longer good to shoot, and I figured the game didn't register the command
- I push ground pass to pass it to the player in better position to shoot
- Instead of passing, my player performs fake shot
- I am "ecstatic" and questioning my decision of playing this game when getting a root canal surgery would be equally enjoyable
Few years ago, while playing on Xbox, I created a list of friends (40+) of people that played the game without abusing broken game mechanics, and just played friendlies against them. It is completely different game that way. I enjoyed it very much.
These days...... you may wish for skill players, because the alternative is "headless chicken" players with constant pressure, depth 100 that holds R1 and X buttons and spams O button... who gets favored by the game and god help your controller that is about to get smashed on the floor.
There are games where 95+ rated players are playing on the same level as Bronze players. I am sure about that as I did play with Bronze players and they even performed better than 95+ players, go figure?!
I see alot of talk about more skilled players and that why you are losing, well first of all we are all placed on diffrent kind of servers and Ea servers are pure crap that is well knowed, thats why every match youre team and players behave diffrent all the time, this game is not a skilled based online game as Ea trying to push it.
Lets begin the server are placed in England, Italy, Germany, France, Holland and Usa i can forgot about some country, it meens that if you not from any of these countrys you playing at their servers for an example you living in Bulgaria and meeting an German player, that meens youre game needs to get the nearest access and that is Germany in this case, the German player is at a ping around 10 meanwhile yours is pending between 20 - 50 ping ofcourse you gonna think that mostly of the player is better than you.
If servers dont work youre game dont work and youre gameplay suffers and this game is almost unplayeble, you can notice this very easy how youre menus is superslow and the matchmaking is superslow, i dont understand why people mention skills and EaFc in the same mention but i guess it is what it is, iam working with programming for 20 y and everybody knows that Ea dont really care about their servers and that they are pure crap to be honest.
Play other online games and then compare that with a Ea game the diffrents is massive, anyway i could breake this down even more but Ea dont like truth they would just ban me as they usually do when someone speaks truth, anyway good luck with youre Ea games....
