Poor state of the gameplay post patch
I don't understand what EA were thinking when they decided what to change in the latest patch
Not only has the patch made the game worse, it has made it nearly unplayable
They fixed a lot of things that didn't need fixing and didn't fix the things that desperately needed fixing, primarily:-
1. Button Lag
2. Heavy Tackle
3. Strength
4. Passing
1. Button Lag has got MUCH worse since the patch (particularly on PC). I now have to take holiday time off work to wait the distance between the button being pressed and the action happening.
2. Heavy Tackle was way too strong before the patch and hasn't changed. Spam heavy tackle and watch it do all the work. Don't need to worry about fouls as there are never any given, even if you go through the back of a player. There are 20-30 fouls per game not given due to this massively broken mechanic.
3. Strength should be for shielding and shoulder to shoulder only. Holding the button and running in to players in order to get the ball, without giving away a foul, is bad programming
4. Passing is dreadful. Put a blindfold on, press the button and guess which way it is going to go
Every player has the same stats with the issues that there are currently
Shooting 10 (nothing changed. 1 on 1s still broken)
Passing 1 (no idea where it is going to go)
Defending 300 (just spam heavy tackle)
I want the game to improve and I know the main issue is the frostbite engine but there must be something that can be done. Even FC24 was in a better state than this, and that was terrible
