Simulation Mode Gameplay!

Does anyone who actually knows/plays football get chance to sit down with these Devs at Playtests and tell them what needs addressing with Gameplay? Or is it just FUT noobs? Because all the tools EA Sports already have at their disposal is already enough to create a great football game, just look at what Modders do with the same code..

'Simulation Mode' should be the standard for creating a realistic football game OFFLINE and it needs MASSIVE improvement in FC 26!

  • The speed of the gameplay is way too fast for some people, simulation mode needs a massive overhaul.

    Failing that we really need the gameplay option of slow, normal & fast brought back to cater to all players, at the moment it's perfect for FUT players but from being on Twitter the Career mode community tend to prefer a slower gameplay style, which is more realistic of real life football & that is not an option currently.

    Yeah why they removed that setting i have no idea! We want/need more than just Gameplay Slider tweaks..

    The way players move (walk, jog, sprint), make runs, pass/shoot the ball etc all feels totally unnatural..

    Players should position their body before passing/shooting etc so they use their Strong Foot! Example in real life to watch is Bruno Fernandes, he uses the outside of his Strong (Right) Foot 99% of the time when he's positioned to pass with his Weak (Left) Foot.. Why does this matter? Well there is a stat in FC 25 called 'Weak Foot' and if they're not 5* then it effects the passing accuracy of the player! An example to add, which PES had 15 years ago, is a Weak Foot Usage stat..

    Weak Foot: 4*

    Weak Foot Usage: 1/5

    Etc...

  • Yes I have no clue either on why they removed that setting, EA tend to do that a lot remove things in Career mode for example, only to bring them back as a new feature, hope they do that with the slow, normal, fast gameplay setting.

    Your right too about the strong & weak foot, it definitely needs looking at, I thought the whole point of the weak foot stat would be that it would determine what each player does when striking a ball in certain situations.

    AcceleRate needs removing too!

    Or at least an On/Off toggle..

  • It would be nice if ut was simulation. It’s to fast everyone need to be 99 pace. Passing and offense is to easy. The refresh update made everything to arcade to make the majority happy. It’s always nerf defense and buff offense to make unrealistic high scoring games. 

  • Yes it would be nice if simulation mode worked, but in my opinion it doesn't make any difference to the gameplay sadly.

    It's still too fast, when simulation mode was supposed to be slower & more like real life football.

    It's game breaking mate!

    No one moves that Slow in real life or takes 2/3 seconds to turn or start running 🤣

    We already have Acceleration and Sprint Speed stats..

    I see what they were trying to do but it's way overdone, the effects of these types of running styles in real life are incrementally minimal..

    Sprint Speed & Acceleration is ALL we need..

  • I'll be honest I don't know much about AcceleRate, isn't it to do with running styles & stride length, I've never took any notice of the stats or the effect on gameplay.

    Feel rather stupid now 😭
