Good

No way your playing ultimate team...

Cause i am... and this gameplay is a masterclass in how to break football.

Passing is beyond broken. Ground passes, lobbed passes, through balls—doesn’t matter. Every other pass rebounds straight to the opponent like the ball is socially distancing from my teammates. You don’t build play anymore, you just gamble and pray the engine doesn’t decide it’s turnover time.

Build up play is pointless cause all the players are marked. But hey incisive pass onto your striker thats covered is magically good. 

And let’s talk about bounce-back tackles, because apparently tackling no longer means winning the ball. You can perfectly time a tackle, read the play, do everything right—and the ball politely ricochets back to the attacker’s feet and suddenly they’re clean through on goal. Skill rewarded. Brilliant.

Defending is actual comedy. One centre-back randomly abandons the defensive line to follow a striker into another postcode, creating a gap big enough to drive a bus through. Holding shape? Nah. Let’s manufacture space for the opponent instead. Elite tactical design.

Corners are still a guaranteed counterattack for the opposition because why wouldn’t they be. You commit men forward once and instantly you’re defending a 3v2 sprint with defenders who turn like shopping carts.

Attacking runs make zero sense. Strikers freeze. Wingers sprint directly into defenders. Midfielders hide behind opponents like they’re playing hide and seek. Off-the-ball intelligence feels completely nok existing.

Dribbling? Dead. Absolutely murdered. The right stick might as well be a placebo now. You don’t beat players—you just bump into them and lose the ball because physicality apparently overrides everything.

The worst part is this isn’t “hard” or “realistic.” It’s just chaotic, inconsistent, and punishing for anyone trying to play actual football. The game fights you every step of the way, then pretends it’s skill-based.

Playing this is a painful experience and i feel sry for Young Ones of this generation that have to put up with this. Game has been consistantly getting worse Evry year since 2013 with the exception of 2017.

If this is the final product, it’s genuinely impressive how bad it is. Breaking this many core systems at once should come with an achievement trophy. Refunds should be handed out.

I cant believe anyone is actually enjoying this. Shocking
