Spot on and regular concurrence. Football itself, the actual game, is about possession or acquiring the ball, as well as using open spaces.
As FC, which stands for Foul Club 25 or Fight Club 25, is actually not a representation of what football is, just a mere arcade like football experience , and technically quite broken as well, your players won’t run into spaces, they won’t run towards a loose ball etc. Their running paths are pretty much identical in 90% of the cases, and they will run either towards a defender or even behind, so a pass will never be received as intended.
Then you have the players people would spend a lot of money on - they have superpowers. Like Marvel heroes. They can get the ball off of you, despite not even being right next to you. They have the spider legs that go around your own player or do these amazing stunts to intercept a pass or a shot on goal.
FC has so many hidden and embedded “options” to alter game outcomes, it’s hilarious. And also they don’t even know how to fix issues that have been persistent throughout recent months and years. Stability, input lag, player drag etcpp
if you let go of the thought that this is football, but people kicking a ball around more like Rocket League, then it kinda works.
