Haven't touched the game for a week and after reading most of the posts here, think I'll leave this unrealistic, ping pong, sonic speed arcade fest * alone.
Waste of money.
FC26 will be the first fifa I don't buy in years. The game is appaling, everytime I boot up the game i'm bored within 5 minutes because the gameplay is terrible and you never feel in control.
I know EA like to ban you for this but the game IS SCRIPTED AF, it's the most buggy and laggy game ever.
25 is the worst reviewed fifa in history and it shows, from the new Low iq tactics to the blatant match fixing. If you buy anything in the FUT store then you contribute to the problem and can't complain about the game since you're feeding the issue directly
Agreed. Makes no * sense to play already, and the developers of this game should go back into their mothers' *. eFootball much better albeit trashy.
I think I'm done with EAFC after this edition, with GTA 6 on the way, why bother?
* I can't stand the gameplay especially tackle spamming, deflections/rebounds, how inconsistent it feels on a game to game basis. Every action you take feels jammy. The fixes don't fix anything and if they do, they create other problems.
* The servers are poor & not up to the standards they should be for a triple A game that makes this much money per annum.
* Even the menu grind has been ruined. Everything is deliberately priced to send you into the store even those 83x10's. Exchanges were a great addition if you wanted to improve your team and of course EA doesn't bring them back. On my no money account, I can't get any low rated fodder. To me this matters because I used to like grinding for cards in between playing.
* This game, more than ever feels exploitative. Packs were 1 thing but season boosts, triple token packs, paid EVO's with time limits lol, nothing is priced to where it is within reach because..
* It's borderline impossible to make coins off rewards, doing the never ending grind unless you're in the top 1% of the player base. Pack after pack, gives you nothing worthwhile. Like why am I even doing this anymore?
* This game is built for, made for & marketed towards that top 1% I mentioned. Why even bother playing it anymore? Might aswell save yourself the time, money, effort and just go and watch them play. It's less stress, probably more fun than actually doing the weekly grind required to improve your team.
* Then there is one of my favorite things "The Fairness Mantra" that companies like this one go on and on about ad nauseum without actually practicing what they preach to give some examples: People who spend either 100's of dollars on a given promo to pack these "special" cards or go through the aforementioned never ending grind or both, to not pack anything, only to wake up one morning & see EA have made a mistake & given people who happen to win the timezone lottery the best card of said promo without any recourse or explanation, compensation. Or the fact they can't bothered to do something about blatant cheating that is people quitting on draws, dashboarding at a red card or when they equalize yet if this game boots you before a ball is kicked it's a insta loss.
It's really just all these things combined that make this game one of the worst experiences of any video game on the market today.
Most fc childs in September complained about the game because the game when came out wanted to walk a little with simulation football game but all you complained about why was slow, the dribbles not win the defenders,we can't win, offsides all the time and bla bla... All of you want an ARCADE game every year.But Fc 25 was very very good game when came out to all of the players want something different something to close to real football.And now EA listening YOU and Totally they destroy the gameplay after the latest updates..I played efootball before I like more the simulation gameplay not arcade and this year the ea make a good try to go to that road .I played fifa Long time a go and when I play this year I liked and I buyed but after period with updates they destroy the game .make it again and again arcade. The last update destroy the defence ,make shoots easy to score, more fast,easy dribbles why why why?pffff we don't have one simulation football game nowadays and I liked a lot this year when first come out fc 25 before the updates and totally the latest update is the worst
I don't know really how do they test the game and release pitch notes. The issues they claim fixed, are still in the game. Do they play the same game?
They destroyed it because they keep listening to players who reach elite div and get the highest rewards every year who don't know * about what should be changed about this game
