Ever since this major patch, the game feels so horrible. I have never seen this sort of arcade gameplay since fifa 09. This is so horrendous. EA should be ashamed of themselves and so are the toxic players who just want to satisfy their addiction of buying meta and abuse mechanics of gameplay. I really wish there is a competitor to EA for a football game with player base. This game will die like Nokia died after Apple.
People don’t want balance. They want easy offense and high scoring games. Unless the community changes why would ea want to lose money? You can’t blame ea for giving the community what they want.
It baffles me that this company can't work out a way to manage a balance. You shouldn't be punished for wanting a football game to feel like **bleep****g football. There are thousands of arcade games people can play. But there is only a couple of football games. I have never been so fed up of this game and have stopped playing any online version of this game now and same with many of my friends. I dont know who this majority is but the old player base is just not bothering anymore. Maybe they just want cash from gambling addicted kids.
The main reason people buy meta players and abuse mechanics, is the overly competitive and fairly often toxic nature of the player base. Unfortunately it's not necessarily something brought about by ea themselves but human nature. Though I will admit that EA don't help because they can't balance the game that well. The whole point of releasing meta/broken players is that they want people to spend money to try and get them. As for broken mechanics they appear in every game unfortunately, and there is a section of players that will always abuse them.
They were losing money before the patch. They even said since the majority like the game they won’t be changing it. I mean I preferred the game before but if ea doesn’t want to lose money or the game to die then they need to listen to the majority. Even if we dislike it.
