Re: Fix the gameplay

Without having the connection report you can’t see if it’s on your end or eas. Without the video you can’t see what buttons are being pushed or if there is something wrong with gameplay. 

You can see a lot who did provide evidence thinking it was ea showed it was on their end probably their isp with just the connection report. 

Here is another example once he did the tests he realized it wasn’t eas fault and used it to have his isp fix the issue.  Which highlights the need for the test and to report it to find out what’s really going on.

Saying the game is unplayable without showing it doesn’t really help. I know my game plays fine that’s not to say I wouldn’t like to see passing be manual or nerfed as offense is to powerful but that’s two different things. Connection is so dependent on location servers isp its not the same for everyone. 

@Izzy_FUT_DubsSo basically what you are suggesting the user only use certain players that aren't broken

Right

So you are saying we should play ultimate team in a way that defeats the entire point of ultimate team because we cannot use certain players in the mode that encourages you to use whatever players you want

Basically you are saying we should not even bother with ultimate team because the mode is not fit for what is it marketed as.

Hear that EA, even your own "advisor" is telling us the game is broken and we should not play it.

Gameplay is horrible on e again 2am where I am. Can’t even player switch. Passing is slow and look at this, my paused game menu is all messed up couldn't even make tactical changes. Honestly had enough of this. 

@Izzy_FUT_Dubs  as an outsider reading this conversation, you're coming across as extremely condescending. People have a right to voice their concerns about this game, and it's not exactly just a few people is it? Go look online, the amount of people that have given up already, the amount of streamers and content creators who are criticising the game on a daily basis

If you pay for the ultimate edition (Which a large % of people do) the game costs close to £100... if i'm paying that much money for a video game I expect fair gameplay as an absolute minimum. In this years version of fifa every game is so heavily weighted towards one player because of the ridiculously overpowered AI. And EA know it, hence why they've just let it leak that they're completely overhauling the AI for next year.

How are you meant to have fun when 70 strength players outmuscle 99 strength players consistently? When the AI can make 20 interceptions for one player and 0 for the other? When you make a tackle 20 times in a row and every single time it somehow bounces back to the opposition? When you both have the same goalkeeper but one makes world class save after world class save and the other is like having a ghost in net?

In any video game, especially online videoe games, user input should be the overriding factor in deciding who wins and loses. This is the only game i've ever played where random AI nonsense and bugged custom tactics mean more to the end result than user input does. It's not good enough

@Cam3131 I never denied any of this. I agree with you. The game can be frustrating. But, if you knew certain players had bad animations, and you choose to keep playing with them, and continue to cry and complain about why you're losing games, then idk how the forums can help you. The guy comes on here not to be critical or to get advice but to attack people. He's toxic.

I respect you came on here to voice your concerns / opinion respectfully. Go back and read how he comes across and how I've tried to deal with him. He's not looking for an answer.

I play the game just like anybody else. I've complained directly to EA about many gameplay issues. But, I've also taken it upon myself to not use players who have bad animations.

I had Rio at the start of the game and would record clips of him literally running away from the ball carrier and leaving his mark. I cried about it, and complained, but then decided to stop using him because every time I did use him, I would lose games.

When Eoae Lloris first came out, his animations were horrendous, he would cost me games. At the time base Alison was the best GK for me. I recently played a game with Lloris and he felt and looked amazing. But, I'm playing with Base Icon VDS now, who also would leave too many rebound when I first got him but now doesn't.

I agree that the gameplay needs fixing for all of those things you've mentioned. But, I don't call people out, I don't try to make people look like a fool and like I'm supposed to follow by X but contradict that image by behaving like Y, etc.

@Izzy_FUT_Dubs  Basically what you’re saying is the game is fine there are no problems it’s just the people playing it? It’s weird to just dismiss everyone’s problems with gameplay and just say it’s not the game it’s you. Even big streamers that are partnered with EA have criticised the gameplay, go read the replies to their tweets, filled with people complaining about the gameplay. I’ve provided videos to ea help on twitter back when they actually had people working on the twitter page and they just said gameplay is fine the video must be edited but then again these were also the people selling icons and other high rated players to people for real life money, it’s hard not to believe the gameplay and AI isn’t broken when all the rumours for 25 is a complete overhaul coming to gameplay and the AI 🤷🏻‍♂️

There is some irony in this thread as you are just saying everything is broken and everyone experiences that when it’s not true. There are millions who play the game just fine. 

The point is everyone is just trying to help. There is no sense in getting in a back in forth when people are trying to help someone with problems. 

There is a difference in saying you are having technical problems and saying it’s unplayable and not liking the gameplay. 

Saying a streamer on youtube saying the game is unplayable while all they do is play the game all day every day doesn’t really help your point. 

I think you have issues and it could be on eas end I am looking at it non biased. It would be more helpful if others looked at it that it could also be on their end and not eas from a neutral perspective and realize everyone in here is just trying to help.
