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...

@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?!
- @Boy_Systematics That’s likely your connection or setup.
- @wassimabdul Depends how it works out I suppose. If you can drop divisions like before it’s going to be worse than now. The old system was terrible.
I remember the old system and in my opinion it was much better than now. It was more fair, balanced, and less exploitable by abusers. I guess EA have also figured that out so that is why they are reverting back to the old system.
