@Oldman_Sparky_YT The AI stuff is the reason 24 will be my last time playing ultimate team. There's a new bug where people are using 100 depth and auto pressing all over the pitch. Bare in mind now most players in div 1 and above have full teams of 97+ players with 4 playstyle+, 99 defending, 99 stamina etc...
It really just kills any kind of enjoyment you can get from the game. I'm by no means the best player you'll ever see but i've been in elite every season of the last 2 fifas and up until the last few weeks I was a 16 win minimum weekend league player so I like to think i'm good enough to know when someone has beaten me by outplaying me vs when someone has beaten me because they've abused the AI all game
Sadly, in EAFC24 it's becoming more and more common that individual ability isn't what wins you games. Sure, i'll still get the occasional game where people actually play manually and you can have good fun regardless of whether you win or lose but the majority of games aren't like that and even when you win you still don't get any enjoyment from it
I genuinely feel like this relentless "Rewards" system has caused it. People will look for the easiest and fastest way to get as many wins as possible so that they can get that dopamine rush from opening a big pick or pack... so they'll actively make the game ugly and unenjoyable in the hope that people just get bored and quit
It's sad to see a game series that used to be best in class turn into this horrible, toxic, money grabbing, AI abusing mess that would turn the calmest person in the world, insane. I hope they realise how badly people view this gameplay but sadly they only seem to care about the profits they make from gambling addicts that buy points, so I don't see any positive future for this series
For me, it REALLY defeats the point of gaming. It's a pass time, it's meant to be fun... unless you're a pro there's nothing serious riding on these games but unfortunately we've got a generation of gamers who don't really seem to realise that. It's all about being as toxic as humanly possible and chasing that reward so you can brag to other strangers about how good you are
