Career mode catastrophically buggy
Career mode catastrophically buggy
Rarely has career mode been so buggy. EA, the game and this mode are in a catastrophic state; it's a disgrace what's being sold here. Here's just a sample of the nonsense:
-Players now decide for themselves when they want to extend their contracts, which is a good idea and realistic. If you could get information about this. This doesn't happen, then there is a second message where the player is angry and wants to transfer immediately.
-Players extend their contracts and then want to transfer two days later.
-If we don't sell the players who want to transfer, the assistant manager suddenly takes over, but the transfer never goes through; it fails every time.
-Clauses can no longer be bought out. You are completely powerless and players can transfer for ridiculous sums, but unfortunately this only applies to you, not the CPU.
-In Live Startpoint, players' first matches are all rated 0.0, at least for those who have played. This lowers the average rating, which affects the dynamic potential.
-The youth players only have boots from EA.
-It is not possible to search for or scout players whose contracts are expiring.
-Players under the age of 23 generally cannot transfer without a transfer fee (which is nonsense).
-It is still not possible to put 9 players on the bench. What is so difficult about implementing this? It is simply embarrassing.
-After every squad update, the painstakingly created manager names disappear again.
-Managers are dismissed far too rarely. In the Bundesliga, sometimes not a single manager is sacked in a season, which is nonsense.
-When managers change, the assistant managers sometimes take over, some of whom are women. No offence, but it's unlikely that a woman will coach a Bundesliga club any time soon.
-The objectives are absolute nonsense; you lose confidence even though you've won. With Dortmund, you're supposed to win the league title and reach the Champions League semi-finals.
-There are no injuries at all, either in-game or outside of it, especially in Authentic mode.
-The events are a good idea in themselves, when they do occur. One event in an entire season...far too few.
-Some of the questions are complete nonsense and repeat themselves constantly. Why only questions about players and not general ones? It was better before. Why show how the answer affects the game? It's not like toddlers are playing the game. It would be nice to have a little more spice and expected effects.
-The contract lengths for players are nonsensical and incorrect. I was able to get a correction in WWE with Thielmann even before release. Ache only has a one-year contract, which is wrong.
-The clauses are assigned randomly and nonsensically.
-The AI plays far too passively, even Bayern Munich honestly at the highest level.
-40% of the games always take place in the rain.
-The automatic kit selection is nonsensical. In the Champions League, the normal home kit is used. In the Bundesliga, the cup kit is sometimes used.
There are so many other absurdities. Sorry EA, but honestly, this is just brazen and unacceptable. Andreas claimed in the video that before a feature is included, it is tested multiple times. What exactly was tested? Some of the errors are carried over from one part to the next, see the example of jerseys, rain, or no 9 players on the bench, etc. The mode is half-hearted, and I can't imagine that it has been thoroughly tested, otherwise these errors would have been discovered and eliminated in advance. One should demand compensation for this mode. There is so much potential here, but the implementation is a disaster. Dear EA team, this cannot and must not continue. You have a broad community and claim that you are listening to them this time, so why not make use of it? I and many others would certainly be willing to test the mode on a voluntary basis and report errors such as those mentioned above, so that a decent product can be brought to market. Why not take advantage of this? A beta in the USA, the land of football? Yes, exactly. Sorry, football is lived in Europe. Germany, England, Spain, France and Italy offer the beta there, and you will benefit from it. In any case, you are in the process of completely destroying the game with such errors, and this can no longer be tolerated.
