@Tauntmatt It really is something that baffles me. I spent years learning the ins and outs of this sport as a player that played multiple positions. I also spent my younger years gaming on COD and R6 as well as FIFA every single year, every damn day.
Playing FC25 during the trial really just broke my brain as I tried to comprehend what was happening on my screen. Instead of the game being about who can break down the others defense with skills, or quick accurate passes, it becomes a game based on which player is willing to abuse the mechanics and which one isn't.
Was this done on purpose by the developers or do they not realize that the community isn't willing to learn the sport or play proper football unless they're forced to?

@lansenyl I think it's 2 things that have destroyed this game outside of the gameplay being horrible:
1. The pro scene/streamer scene, they find exploits/meta mechanics and promote it. Think last year with that 70 depth auto press tactic (I think it was 70 depth)
2. EA have conditioned us to not actually want to play the game but to constantly grind for objectives/rewards/evo's/sbc's. You see this in Rush where some people would rather rubber band to get their packs than actually play it.

- lansenyl2 years agoSeasoned Veteran@Tauntmatt Most of the pros are worried about saying the wrong thing and ending up like Kurt. The content creators are a split group. Half of them are getting more and more frustrated and the other half are just accepting this is what the game is and we need to learn it.
EA are just turning this once great console series into a mobile game with pretty graphics and the majority of the community is blindly letting it happen.- Tauntmatt2 years agoSeasoned Veteran@lansenyl I get that but people emulate them. And when you broadcast your exploitative tactics to EVERYONE especially with how OP tactics can be/have been for the past few editions of this game your contributing to this game being a clown show.
Everytime I jump on Youtube to watch something, I get "NEW META TACTIC!" videos in my suggestions & some of those same people will then make a EAFC rant video complaining about the "meta".- lansenyl2 years agoSeasoned Veteran
