Yeah I get that, unfortunately a lot of game companies are just chasing the whales now. As long as they appease them it doesn't really matter in their eyes. Unfortunately for Efootball the gameplay isn't fun in the slightest, and it has crazier metas than FC or it would be a decent game. At least with FC the gameplay can occasionally be fun, and I emphasise the occasionally part.
The way most online video games are treated now is not sustainable, the whole micro transaction market will crash eventually. £20 for a skin or some sort of store pack is laughable let alone the people buying the £40 ones, just look at the streamers for FC dropping thousands that their viewers have given them. That won't last especially with the squeeze on a lot of people's wallets happening right now, but things like that are why EA won't change their attitude towards people who don't spend really apart from buying the game.
That's why I'm more heavily invested in playing single player games, and even then you have to be picky now or you get trash. Video games are being turned in to a luxury not a hobby, companies spending hundreds of millions to produce mediocre games and then wondering why people don't buy or play them. Eventually all of the big game companies will go too far, and they will only have a very small market to sell these things to.

True, most online games are working in this manner, but the question is, is it sustainable to keep developing a game that push the majority aside and concentrate on the minority (pros). People might love the franchise, and some loyal players might remain, but it will end up like PES now efootball where it is now a free to play service where by it only concentrates on a niche market.
I think it is a recipe for disaster, and feel they are heading in the PES/efootball direction

only if would be the biggest problem.

It depends on which part you say is a cheat, the matchmaking is common sense if you think about it really, as for other parts of the game like bounce backs etc, that's definitely not something that should be happening.

Not trying to stick up for EA, but you do understand that this is how all online games work right? And it will happen even more as people leave the game. Most of the players that leave will be "casual" or low division players, meaning if you do stay you will be matched against better players because they don't want everyone waiting 20 minutes for a game.

So EA is a dirty company?
- Skeelo61 month agoNew Scout
Everything you mentioning I've been experiencing, from key inputs not registering to shots going straight at the keeper, it is down right frustrating.
Last season I went all the way to DIV 4 after starting mid season, and start the new DIV 8, now I'm being matched up against a few pro's and the odd pc hacker where my team feels like a bunch of bronze players. My win rate has gone from 50%+ to probably 20-30% as the every game feels deliberately manipulated from game to game.
I'm under assumption but I do not think everybody wants to become a pro, we are here to have fun and compete casually, but EA creates false hope by getting users to purchase packs and making them think this will possibly give you the edge against competitors.

What I don't understand is how EA are getting away with this as this is rigged and ea are purposefully making players lose, ea needs to be investigated.

Not only is the match making rigged, the game play is ABSOLUTELY rigged. I have dropped so many points because EA throttles my gameplay.
I just played a match where I scored an early goal. Then I couldn't score again. My next 3 finesse+ shots hit the post. My opponent scores and suddenly I'm able to make it 2-1. Now it's not just my shooting, but now my passes get intercepted, I tackle and every loose ball goes to one of his players. My GK even punched a ball into my CB which almost bounced into my own goal. It's like my players are doing everything to help him.
The game ended 3-3, but it should have been 7-4 in my favor. EA just stole my hot streak.
