The video looks amazing for offline. It’s like do you love the beautiful game the realism the skill gap ect you get all that offline. It’s like why wouldn’t you just do that for online?
That way people who want to spam skill moves ping pong passing no skill gap arcade can all pick their online and people who want to play the beautiful game could pick their online too. To me this will divide people. They need to tone down the arcade gameplay if they want to bring players back.
Based off of what I've seen over the years, the majority of players prefer a more arcade style of play. The problem with doing both for online is splitting people into groups of who is playing what, in one of the videos I watched they wanted to see how feedback goes for FC26, and then possibly find a way to integrate it. I personally have no issues with either as I've dealt with them both over the years, but the slowed down touches and unresponsive passes are a part of what really killed the game this year. If they don't fix that sort of thing for ultimate team where the majority want a faster paced game, it would be extremely bad for the future of FC in general.
People didn't really want to play in ultimate team, which is bad news for EA. With the amount that goes into rights amongst other things, simply selling the game isn't enough to cover what they spend. I'm not defending the way EA have gone about their store over the years, but it is also a vital part to being able to afford to keep the game running. I understand the need for a store and the need to cater for a majority, which if the videos are to be believed, these are the most common pieces of feedback they receive, which in turn is catering for the majority. I know it doesn't help your position and what you want, but unfortunately it's the ultimate truth behind what keeps games alive.
