Clubs Is In A Bad Way

"Okay, so let's not even bother with the obvious like the bugs that go on with this game (Facilities don't even work for AI such as RCB, LCB, LAM, RAM etc because you idiots couldn't even remember the different positions that the bots can occupy in the game), how about what my buddy and I just experienced. We won a game 6-1 and were by far the better team and the next game, immediately after, we play the same team and go 3-0 within 20 minutes against the exact same team with the same team members because the bots are suddenly even worse than usual. What is that? 

That's just one example. How about the fact that it feels like the opposition are controlling their bots as soon as our skill rating hits around 1800. Why do you do skill-based matchmaking when the game used to be that you would play the teams in your division so that you could progress? It's now like Call Of Duty games (before BO7 because they listened and got rid of skill-based matchmaking) where once your team gets to a certain level, your toast because all you will get is higher rated teams who have incredible AI and it's nothing but a sweat-fest. 

People go into a video game to have fun and only 4 years ago, my buddy and I could go right to Div 1 and win it through skill, possession, decent AI movement, and it wasn't just a stupid through-ball simulator where the AI do not track runs, are slow, and it takes up to a second and a half for them to pass the ball when you call for it which ensures that gaps are then closed. Why is it that human responsiveness now feels pretty good and when you pass it among humans, it's snappy but yet, you couldn't program the AI to pass the ball when it is called for?

People will come at me with "Well, why don't you play ANY"? Well, we didn't have to for many years and were very successful, plus, if you have ANY's switched off in the matchmaking, why does it feel like we are facing opposition that are clearly controlling their bots somehow? We see skill moves from AI opposition and all kinds of insane moves that our AI could never do."

"I have owned every FIFA since it's inception back in 93 and this version and last years are the worst I have ever played. The AI responsiveness and positioning is awful, you guys got rid of options and sliders where you could set the width of the defence for example and you have made this nothing more than a counter-attacking through-ball pile where build-ups and craft mean nothing.

Get rid of the skill-rating-based matchmaking and have us play the teams in our division. I wouldn't care if we played 2189 rated teams if we were in Div 2 or 1, but we are playing them in Div 5 and 4 ffs. The only enjoyment we get from the game is in playoff week where you do indeed play the teams in your division and that's how it should be the whole season. Make the AI positioning better and make it equal on all teams solely based on their Reputation. 

For the first 3 weeks of the game, you had it in a good place. It felt like something the majority wanted, especially after all of your promotions stating that you listened and were making the game better. You did! Bounce-backs stopped, quality play was rewarded and it felt like a decent game. You reverted back though and basically cut and past the coding from FC 25. Congrats, we'll never believe your bullcrap again.

I am tired of not looking forward to playing this game because it's so so far away from the enjoyment of Fifa 16 or 17 and it's now just gross to play. I know that people who play Ultimate team are sickened with your money grabbing ways and it is not fun for them either. How is it, we can have possession for a solid 10 seconds after we win a corner but the AI does not get back into position if the ball is given away by a bot and 80% of breakaways end in a goal. It's not a game meant for quality play, possession, and craft. It's a game for spamming the thru ball and the moment you guys get competition, you will get hosed. Improve your product (we know you won't because you are putting all of your efforts into the stupid open-world thing that nobody wants or asked for). Focus on making the game fun for the loyal people that play it, give everyone a level playing field, and people might stick around. But it's clear that all you care about is money from Ultimate Team and it's extremely unlikely you'll ever do something to make the game better."

I had hope for this game through the first 3 weeks, but you ruined it. You got your money, you fooled everyone and I hope you are happy with yourselves. People are tired of what you have done to a game that we want to love and enjoy, and I strongly doubt you will do anything about it for the better.
