Ea Fc 25 Career Mode Is Nonsense
Career mode is still absolutely dreadful. They have only managed to fix a few aspects of the mode, but it is still not balanced at all. The things I am about to cover were played on Legendary difficulty because World Class was far too easy for me, but somehow legendary is way to hard. I know you probably can't resist buying this game, but just be prepared.
The AI players outrun your players no matter what team you're up against. It could be Ipswich or Real Madrid. I don’t understand why Vini Jr. can outrun Trent every single time, while Mo Salah and Díaz can’t get close to outrunning either Mendy or Carvajal. Mo Salah and Díaz have high pace stats, but it is still frustrating to play because your players can’t run as well as the AI’s.
The AI can, 90% of the time, stick a foot out and block your passes and shots, yet you can’t do the same. There have been a multiple occasions where I attempted some really good passes that should have made it through. Yet, the AI either gets a speed boost to catch up and stick a foot out in time or slides in to tackle and block the pass. Meanwhile, they can make ridiculous passes through your defense, and since their players are faster than yours, you won't be able to catch them. This happens every single time.
If you engage in a wrestle with the AI to try and win the ball, most of the time, the AI just knocks your players flat on the ground and continues on, sometimes scoring. I can have 2 or 3 players pressing one AI player, and they still manage to get through and score. Again, there is no sign of balance in the game.
When you're literally shoulder-barging the AI against a corner, it doesn’t matter who it is; it could be the heaviest center-back. They still manage to turn around and clear the ball with as much power as possible while I am right behind them, yet I can’t do the same since the game makes my players' movements slower than the AI's.
They still rarely make mistakes in their passing, and it is very difficult to keep up with a rebound on Legendary and Ultimate difficulty since they are likely to win the header/rebound. I think they still expect us to create our own sliders, which shows laziness.
The same problem persists from EA FC 24, where your players are attempting to slide tackle the AI in front of your goal but end up sliding at nothing, allowing the AI to run through without hitting my players in front of them.
The AI's recovery pace is ridiculous. Almost every time you somehow get the chance to get past their fullbacks, they always get a speed boost. Again, it doesn’t matter what team or player it is they have a speed boost that is simply unfair to play against.
In my opinion, it is still really bad. They have managed to improve shooting so that the AI doesn’t score on every chance, but the game is still very unbalanced. I feel like every time a new game is released, it has to be the next year. Why not take a year just for testing the game instead of releasing a game every year.
