Will EA do the same next year?
There are many here and other platforms that are disgusted by how EA advertised gameplay which was reasonably realistic and then changed it to something that is shockingly bad in relation to simulati...

Great job turning the game into an arcade mess. Gameplay no longer rewards tactics, structure, or intelligence. It pushes pace abuse, spammed skills, and brainless runs into the box while defenders just stand still.
Every year, launch gameplay is the best part. Slower pace. Balanced. Low rated squads. Defenders that actually respond. CDMs that track back and cover space. Matches that feel tactical, where every playstyle has a chance.
But as always, two weeks in, you listen to the loudest streamers crying for a faster game and you ruin everything. You patch it into this high speed, one style fits all meta that kills creativity and punishes anyone who wants to play with control and variety.
You have the tech. You have the player base. You have the feedback. But you keep listening to the wrong voices. The silent majority wants balance, not chaos. A proper middle ground. Not a full on sim, but definitely not this arcade nonsense.
Stop wasting the potential of this game. Stop ignoring what works. And stop catering to the loud few while the rest of us get pushed out.
You had it right at launch. Stick to that. Or keep losing players who actually love football. Enough is enough!
Yeah well, I had it with this game. For 20+ years I took a day off on release day to be the first to buy the game. Last year I already waited a few days, this year I'm not gonna buy it the first month for sure. If it is again bug infested and as bad as it is now, I'm not buying it.
I want a game that works from the start, not after 300 updates and patches. If I would buy a car, I expect it to have wheels the moment I pick it up, that the windows can open and when I twist the steering wheel to the left, the car actually turns left! And if all that doesn't work, I'm certainly not interested in receiving a different color of fuel cap every other week!
