It is sad to see what this game has become
I have been playing FIFA and Ultimate Team for many years, and it is honestly sad to see what this game has become.
You have removed a lot of the AI defending, which is fine, but the dribbling mechanics are now completely overpowered.
Almost every match looks the same. Pass, pass, turn with the back towards the goal, spin in circles, repeat. Players abuse the same mechanics over and over because they are the most effective way to play.
This is no longer the football game that made this franchise popular.
Football should be about passing, movement, tactical decisions, creativity and teamwork. Instead, too many matches look like one player spinning endlessly until a defensive animation breaks.
I hope you will fix this direction because it is not surprising that fewer and fewer players are enjoying the game. Many normal football fans are leaving, while only those willing to abuse the same repetitive mechanics remain.
I also hope that one day there will be real competition in football gaming again, because no real football player would spend an entire match spamming this type of unrealistic spinning and dribbling.
Please bring football back to FC.
