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

@RadioShaqs What's realistic about defenders lunging in full speed, recovering instantly & wrapping their leg around the front of your player before you can even move forward?

What's realistic about Neywar sprinting in full speed, crouching in front of you & zig zaging shadowing your every movement while your opponent is sitting back away from the play?

Putting in 3 tackles per second and losing no momentum.

I'm running with a fast player, the defender stops briefly, then turbo boosts and catches them within a second.

I used to play Tennis at as a kid at a semi professional level and I'd sit here and laugh at the defensive movements in this game. Even at my fittest I couldn't lunge in, recover, turn and hit full sprint instantly like this.

    @Tauntmatt What’s realistic about basketball score lines. Putting 99 pace attackers at cb because offense can go 10 1on 1 through balls. No needing for manual offense. I mean I get easy offense sells games but we need a skill gap. You should actually have to break down the defense not just run by everyone. I get that streamers like the unrealistic gameplay they don’t care about football.

    @RadioShaqs I agree. But the play the ball was too slow for how dynamic the defense was.

    And there was no basketball scores. At least for me. 3-1, 4-3 and I qualified today. All I noticed is passing was better, tackling was better and you could move away from defenders. My Renard still caught their sweaty forwards.

    Champs I just played had basketball scores from stupid jammy goals.

    What's manual about holding a button down and letting the A.I. win the ball for you? Or having your A.I. glide without even moving their legs and tackle you from impossible angles? There's nothing manual about this. 

    I'm constantly switching players, looking for defenders to switch to to, to shut down their opportunities or time a good tackle only to have this game punish me with a stupid animation while my opponent sits 20 ft away from the ball and lets his A.I. do everything.

    @Tauntmatt I mean we basically never had games that went 0-0 like a realistic game. Defense was never that op. Now you might as well forget about realistic score lines. Offense was always better than defense. Now it’s just on another level. I mean if we see combined scores of 20 plus in the pros who are the best defenders in the world I wouldn’t be surprised it’s that bad right now.

    only ea fc game, and you say about 99 pace ? 99 pace mean max pace they should almost impossible to catch by 80 sprint defender , and now how about banning double square? how about when you defend the ball but defender still can catch the ball on feet?

    @RadioShaqs I had loads of games that went 1-0 into shoot out's in Champs. 1-1, had a couple that were 0-0.

    You measuring stick are Pro's who are like 0.001% of the overall community.

    They just don't matter that much.

    @Tauntmatt I don’t just mean pros but yeah if you only had a couple games all year that went 0-0 that shows it’s always been offense that was stronger.

    But if pros can’t keep games at 0-0 being the best defenders then us casual players have no chance.

    Know that almost nobody could keep realistic scores why buff the already overpowered offense?

    Like the other guy said if you want realism you have to play real soccer this game isn’t it especially now. It’s just disappointing ea would go that route.

    @RadioShaqs But you seem to be putting that down to some pacey goal being scored..

    It wasn't though. The top 3 goals in this game were:

    1. Scuffy high pressure goals on the centre backs with weird nonsensical glitchy animations (why would you want this to remain in the game)
    2. Finesse Shot+ (one of the cheapest easiest goals in the game)
    3. Near post goals. Gk moves into position to save shot, ball still flies at arms length past him.

    I can at least appreciate someone who scores from some cool pass moves but seeing these goals over and over, it's like nah, no thanks.

    I can't believe I forget the old drop back in the box, get a magnetic rebound and hit a 40 yard low driven pass with a CB who has like 30 passing to a Forward.
