Authentic online?
I would like to know if “authentic” will be an option for online Seasons? I have been wanting a more realistic gameplay for years and I don’t like to play the CPU.
Forum Discussion
Ea posted a deep dive comes out tomorrow on gameplay. So hopefully it explains more. I am hoping I am just guessing or misunderstanding the info we already have.
It seems ”authentic” only applies to offline modes which is crap imo. Although Seasons wasn’t mentioned in the trailer I got the impression that you want be able to play realistic online. Maybe for friendly lobbies or something I Guess. Bummed tbh. But will have to se I guess. 😕
Having watched it live aswell my take is what I said the other day. EA had already decided back in December what the future of online was going to be. That is why the game refresh happened. The game got absolutely slated on release, mostly because of delay.
From that video just now I am seeing the current game from what we see online plus even faster movement in situations with skills and agility. I have a few concerns with how defence will be in dealing with slippery skillers who keep trying for that one moment they bounce through on goal. Time will tell.
That volley on the edge of the box scared me. I am genuinely hoping that is not going to be an OP type of goal. Again, time will tell. Also, I am hoping stamina drain is still a thing online and there is a need for subs to be used.
So all in all, I'm seeing FC25 game refresh gameplay with a bit more oomph. Obviously will have to see how it plays with new animations, speed, skills and play styles. Scorelines may well remain 5-4, 9-7 etc...

To continue on from this. I am hoping that the occasional rebound goal will still happen for and against. As it would be totally unrealistic for it to never happen. So if goalkeepers constantly parry it out of play and you never get a tap in that will be wrong. I have no issue with it being heavily reduced but EA almost make it sound like it will now never happen. That is silly if so. - You will still get games where opponent scores early, defends like mad, GK is saving everything. Yet you dominate in chances etc.. Save after save after save. Sometimes a scrappy rebound goal is what you deserve at least after you exhausted every other avenue. I dunno man...
