This game is just difficult to play. I don't mean in skill level, it's difficult to actually want to play it, it's that awful.
After giving champs a miss last week, I decided to qualify for this one. And god. This game. Nothing works.
Manual tackling is a complete coin toss. The player your tackling will literally freeze and glide towards the ball, regaining it straight away.
The attacking "A.I." is completely awful. You can only A. Run the down wings or B. Spam through balls until you get a lucky bounce.
Call me a quack if you want, disagree with me all you want but rebounds are programed to trigger counter attacking actions. The ball will almost always at least 90% of the time find a way to deviate towards an open defender especially when you're attacking the area.
Today I could see/feel the game pulling my attackers away from the ball while also when defending guiding me directly to the ball.
None of the attacking players for special. You may think I'm being hyperbolic but I'm serious. The defense is that insane, that fast, covers everything that unless you're jamming through they feel mostly useless.
I don't get how anything works in this game.
So, I'm playing Ancelotti's formation & tactics. I have a pretty good front-line. Whenever I play a nice pass NONE of my attacking support are either providing support nor pouring into the box to get on the end of a potential loose ball. Example: I got into space with Vinnie, there's a player running directly to the far post, I decided to shoot with Vinnie instead of passing, It hits the post before I can switch to Swanson, she starts back peddling in this weird half circle like she's trying to avoid the rebound. The ball was heading straight for her.
When it comes to switching between attacking players, it's completely slow for reason. They'll just freeze.
Passing is awful. This game will change the weight & direction of a pass completely because we need an interception to spice things up or something.
EA think having a game not do what you tell it to do is somehow thrilling. But's it not. It actually just feels pointless playing it. The cats out of the bag with this game. It's not skill based. At any moment this game can/will manufacture a random moment that most of the time isn't your fault to "even the odds". It was overt last year but this years game doesn't even bother to be clever with it. I don't feel like any win, loss or draw is legit anymore.
And I won all my qualifiers, so this isn't bitterness talking.
@Tauntmattfc IQ introduce the dumbest AI i have seen in a football video game. And i played fifa,winning eleven,pro evolution soccer and this is football games.
This is the worst, no brain is better than fc IQ.
imagine a game that come out more than 20 years ago (this is football) when you can start a career mode starting from school team up to professional team, and this developer in 2024 cant handle a basic and bland simple league.
Shame on Microsoft & Sony for allowing this game on their market place. They should pull it and refuse to sell it because it's faulty and doesn't work as advertised.
ball far away,opponents killed me but for the ref this is a simple faul, no yellow no red.
Every game i get killed by the opponents a no action are taken.
