Authentic online?

The answer is here:

Good luck.

yea its just another quick fix and not focusing on fixing core gameplay. I do think this good for career mode players because they gameplay there proposing is awful for online and ea keep catering toward that. So at least with this they can now solely focus on UT gameplay

They're are adding tournament back into ultimate team so i would be shocked if they don't do at least a themed event where the settings are set to authentic gameplay. But aside from that im guessing majority of the Ultimate team game modes online will be "arcady" 

I never understood this arcade vs realistic, ideally online and offline should feel more or less the same game.

While I like fut I wish it was realistic. I am not sure why they didn’t actually offer two versions for every mode. To me they are going to force people who want realism to either play offline or quit playing. Unless I am misunderstanding it but it looks like online is arcade and offline is realism. 

Yeah, hopefully they will let us people who doesn’t like the craziness that is FUT etc still have something to play online. Will be a pass for me if it’s arcade all the way online. 

It looked like it says online will be arcade and offline modes like career mode will be realism. While it gave examples of online as ultimate team and clubs it never said what category seasons fell into. I suppose we will have to wait for each deep dive to really know.
