Re: Fix the gameplay

The reason the gameplay is so bad as put simply as possible.

The “META”: How well you can manually switch, sprint like crazy to the ball, and spam circle, while sending a constant 2nd man press. Offensively, it’s how long you can turn in circles to fight off this press until a pass opens up. 

Couple this with random things that are out of your control like:

Where the ball bounces when you successfully execute a tackle or interception or keeper save 

How long your controlled player randomly decides to respond to a command given

If the action performed matches the command given (ie passing, shooting, tackling)

EA Sports. This is the problem with this game and has been the problem since Day 1. The META and deciding factors aren’t how well you dribble, pass, shoot, and manually defend. In a “competitive” game. 

I’m a Div. 3 player so I’m not elite, but I’m at least somewhat good. This meta makes the game miserable. You all are losing track on how to make this game enjoyable. Maybe you’re listening to wrong people or just not listening at all. Theres no real variety in the gameplay and how people play. You see a lot of the same “meta” cards. Most people play the game exactly the same. Build up exactly the same. Defend exactly the same.

    Just played the most idiotic toxic player of the decade, nae, century. Usimg every glitch in the book, only passed from side to side in their own half and rarely by the 18 yard area. Keeper walks out with the ball waiting to get tackled, but my players can't tackle, even at walking pace. There was no delay, just some idiot abusing every glitch for a nil nil draw. Obviously wanted me to rage quit, idiot wasn't getting the joy. Normally my players would swarm for tackles....Guess what? No one did, not could, didn't. And idiots think this is fun?

    They need kicked out.

  • There's so many obvious bugs and problems with the game this year and I think we've all highlighted them relentlessly... but what gets me the most is the way this game manages to defy any form of logic at just about every turn. I've never owned another game like it

    I'm an elite div and 16-18 WL win player and have been since the start of the game so i'm no slouch, but how have so many basic things managed to go wrong this year that were fine in previous years?

    - Passing to a player and it just not bothering to switch to them

    - Auto switching away from a player that's about to win a header, or chasing back with a player and as soon as you're about to make a tackle it auto switches you away from them

    - LB and right stick switching somehow managing to go to the worst possible option no matter what you press

    - Passes automatically being played to an offside player regardless of where you aim it

    - Passes consistently skipping the player who's 5 yards away that you've aimed at, to try and play it to someone nowhere near where you've aimed

    - 6ft4 99 strength players being unable to win defensive headers due to an attacker backing into them, even if that attacker is 5ft3 with 50 strength

    - Random freezes where the game just completely ignores any user input

    - Having to make a tackle 400 times to regain posession because any time someone Auto presses, their player just instantly rugby tackles your player when you make a tackle and keeps running

    In the first couple of months this game had SO much potential, but instead of fixing a few things that were wrong (Like midfield congestion, auto pressing and AI defending being overpowered) they just decided to break everything else in the hope that people would get so frustrated they'd turn to store packs to see if better players would improve their gameplay. It's honestly incredible how badly they've managed the game this year

  • Got frustrated and tried playing seasons.

    lmao EA Sports is really dropping the ball with this game. I don’t trust any product they put out now

    They don't care imo. They made their cash from the sales and from those who keep pumping money into the packs with their wallets in the hope of getting a top brass card.

    This game will only deteriorate as time goes by, the fifa franchise is dead, I'm never buying this at full price ever. Its black Friday for me, then its only £30, also I never buy packs with real cash, only coins from the transfer market. This company will get f all from me in future at this rate.

    i never spend cash on the game same as you, BUT i have used alot of time trying to figure this game out and i cant. Cause the game changing from half to half. cant understand anything about it. its only the rat mentalthy that is constant and works but il rather take losses that playing like that.

    @scumbagshawty Except there is clearly a skill curve and people will complain about why they're not higher like they would in any other game.

    Still, I do agree that the game is not where I personally would like it to be. I do feel the gameplay is bad and needs revamping.

    @Cam3131 This is spot on, I feel this as well. I too wish for better gameplay, especially when it's in more competitive game modes or in objectives that force you to play Rivals/Champs with X player ;( makes the whole ordeal that much worse!
