Re: EAFC25 is genuinely the worst FIFA game ever on release

I love the customisation options we've been given + the revamp of the youth academy, FC 25 is bad but it's not worse than FIFA 20, not even close, FIFA 20 had #SaveCareerMode trending on Twitter for days; nevertheless FC 25 is bad because of these reasons:

- Boring gameplay, there's only one way to score (through balls) scoring from crosses/headers is practically impossible now.

- Referee logic is broken, yellow card challenges are instant Red Cards. 

- Passing is genuinely awful, long passes are dead in the water, I used to love spraying long passes with my players on previous editions of the game, not anymore any lobbed pass is going out for a throw in.

- Shooting is okay but finesse shots outside the box and long shots are a thing of the past.

- Tackling is terrible.

- Goalkeepers are awful.

- Button delay is worse than ever before.

- Dribbling feels static, a far cry from FIFA 21, where dribbling with your best players felt smooth.

- Dribbling all round is just terrible even when I'm not sprinting my players will take the heaviest touches.

The gameplay feels soulless, it's awful.

    Aside from all the issues you guys mentioned, there’s one point I find really annoying about the game: the new playstyles system. Honestly, I know some people think it’s good, but there’s a major problem—it gives players automatic assistance.

    For example, if your opponent has defensive playstyles and you walk near them, you’ll notice how the game literally pushes their player toward yours, making it super easy for them to intercept the ball without any effort.

    It’s just like aim assist in shooting games. Imagine you’re playing a shooting game, and the game automatically helps you aim straight at the enemy’s head for an easy headshot.

    Same thing here. In my opinion, if the game was more manual, it’d be way more fun. We’d see real skills, dribbling, and defending because everything would depend on your actual abilities, not the game helping you out.

    Mans0rr you have open the Pandora's box.

    If you have learn something about I.A in the game's play you will understand that Call of duty it is the same *.

    If you pay to buy pack's,  I.A work's about 36h for you... same * here. Stop wondering why, when and how. It is all about monopole and dollars my friend.

    Allways .

    Cheers and Marry Christmas !

    @Manso0rr I agree, this is the reason ai defender attacks you from behind without giving a foul, or the second man presses teleport in front of your player and takes the ball.

    Just when I think this game can't stoop any lower, I log on and what do I see: 

    1500 FP for 3 mode mastery players. THEY ARE ACTUALLY SELLING MODE MASTERY PLAYERS.

    @Tauntmatt It's all about MONEY MONEY MONEY. It's not a football game it's just a pack opening simulator!

    @GSM350 Most definitely.

    Look at everything they monetize: Season boosters, kits for extra XP, these swaps tokens, new card designs, Evo's, packs, stadium bundles etc.

    Soon they'll be selling gameplay upgrades, sick of slow jammy gameplay? for the low price of 189.99 you can upgrade to the premium gameplay locked behind the paywall.

    @Tauntmatt they are capable to do that, or sell the script for unlimited tackle without never losing balance

    @GSM350 of course is all about money, but no other game is scripted and rigged like fc series. If any other game is rigged like fc 25 is because you playng against cheater

    on the others post people are complaining because their AI defending is not doing nothing on old gen version of the game. See where is the problem?
    Is the Fc community fault if the game is so trash and AI heavy, and those noobs keep asking for more AI.

    Still no direct response from the developers. How shameful and disgusting.

    LOL these skating AI players remind me of NBA LIVE franchise. 

    Worst edition of the FIFA/FC 25 franchise since I switched from PES to FIFA/FC series in 2008. 

    GREAT WORK, EA! 

    If you worked or are working at EA for FC24 - FC25, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU LIST THOSE ON YOUR RESUME.

    You know, what would be perfect in this situation? VAR! But for some reason EA ignores this for years now. How on earth did they still not bring it into the game? It would make the experience so much greater. They could also just leave the refs completely out of the game then.
