I was very adamant on the previous forums and now answers about how bad the past 5-6 fifa have been with special attention to the last 3. I never thought that it could go downhill so fast. At least the last few were playable at launch and in many ways they just got worse throughout the year with all the suspected things going on behind the gameplay, the patches, cards getting nerfed, crappy gameplay.
BUT THIS GAME, is on a different level of jacked up. You can’t even play the way you want anymore. Other years you could play your style and know you would lose but at least have some respect. This gameplay now is basically who gets the right bounce, lobbed ball, or godly keeper. God forbid you have lag because then the L1 speed boost trick will do you in quickly.
you can’t turn, pass, defend, switch, cross, shoot. It’s all completely broken. With a million tactics and settings, nothing is consistent, it’s a different/worse game every time in turn it back on.
For a whole year I was thinking the same about FC 24: this has nothing to do with football anymore. In the new EA FC 25, they cut out the few good things from FC 24 and either left the bad or even make it worse.
Where the opponent's pressure in FC 24 was unreal, they totally left it out in FC 25. Not one of my defenders is moving when an opponent's striker is attacking on goal. Also the strength of some teams in FC 24 was just so over exagurated that it was ridiculous. I could run after a ball playing with Man City vs Real Madrid for 90mins without touching it. In FC 25 it's the opposite. There's hardly any difference between teams anymore. The day before yesterday, I consecutively beat Aston Villa, PSG and Barcelona with freaking Anderlecht in online games! Totally stupid!
Where one could still adjust stuff in Team Management last year, there's hardly anything you can do this year. The whole Tactics-thing is just stupid, one big fraud!
The whole gameplay feels unnatural. Last year there was a lot to do about putting sensors on real players to monitor how they move and integrate it in the game, but i can hardly imagine that this is the result. We live in a world where AI can basically (re)create everything existing and non-existing on this planet, and this is the best EA came up with?!
