The most boring FIFA game since inception
The football element can be impossible, even on Legendary level. It feels so unbalanced to the extent that on many occasions you need to be 3 or 4 goals ahead at half-time to stand a chance of winning a match. The comebacks have become so predictable and there is nothing you can do. Good, strong tackles still end up with the ball miraculously diverting to the opponent you have just recovered the ball from. It is so annoying that it doesn't feel worth playing. I have played some matches that got so ridiculous that half way through the second half I just switched to Sim mode and let it play out on its own. Takes the fun away altogether. Another thing, the transfer process; the vast majority of transfers end with talks failing. This happens far, far too often. I have players that have negotiated and turned down moves on 7, 8, 9 occasions - totally unrealistic, unnecessary, a complete waste of time and adds nothing to the game play. More transfers need to be successful; otherwise what is the point in having different levels of negotiation. There should be about a 50/50 chance of a deal going through. It's so dull and boring the way it currently works. Also, there appears to be many programming faults. I have a list of players that have been negotiating with other clubs even though they are contracted to my squad; what is that all about. and three Academy Scouts who are showing in the comms as having Scout Reports available even though they aren't and they aren't even covering the countries being quoted anymore. It feels a complete mess and by far the worst version.
