Feedback from someone who has to pay for EA FC
Does EA know that there is a whole group of gamers that used to enjoy playing FIFA, and chose it over PES? Do they know those same gamers have jobs and don't get to spend 6hrs a day practicing?
Do EA know there are a younger group of players going through exams and also not spending 6hrs a day practicing?
It seems like EA is focused on people that will spend 6hrs a day practicing how to turn FIFA into an arcade or NeoGeo type football game. This is so focused on rewards that the actual game is no longer a simulation. It's just about doing as many skills and tight turns as possible. Literally there are not that players in real football that can dribble like Messi yet every player seems to be able to dribble like Messi is you can practice for 6hrs a day.
You guys have completely forgotten that casual gamers. It's great there are sweaty players, but why are casual gamers getting paired up against them in Seasons? I'm a good Div 8 to 6 player but I'm now constantly being paired against players that were cheeky not good enough for Div 2 and above so they start a new profile and go win in the lower divisions.
Since EA hell bent on making FIFA more NBA Jam like with it's ridiculous unrealistic skill moves, matchmaking on Seasons is getting worse.
It's very easy to tell who the sweaty players are.... Their IP address will have a lot of hours played. Or you can let players choose a category for casual players and let us enjoy playing against similar level players. There will be no casual player racking up over an hour a day of play time every day on FIFA.
Plenty of us who used to play FIFA are now looking for alternatives to get away from these sweaty players. Or make the game more simulation. I love playing against players that actually like to play it like a real football game. Happy to get destroyed by those players. But these sweaty players who have spent hours practicing to dribble and to skills every day should not be playing against casual gamers. It's mostly us that pay to buy this.
My son chose getting Call of Duty over EA FC. I chose EA FC. Now I'm hoping Konami bring back PES so it forces a proper simulation battle again.
