Poor Gameplay + Toxic Community = Utter Failure

The gameplay is and has been poor for years now. Same persistent problems that never get addressed. Couple that with this addict laden community where people must win at any cost even exploiting gaps in the gameplay to do so. 

The gameplay is fundamentally broken. Switching, passing, dribbling, tackling, shooting all plagued with so much inconsistency and sluggish controls. How there is a “competitive” community blows my mind is a testament to how EA Sports is a beneficiary of what’s effectively a monopoly.

There have been persistent problems for years that remain unaddressed. 

The game as constructed is a absolutely terrible online game and sports game.

If you didn’t have exclusive licenses, this would be a bargain bin game. That should concern developers but whatever.
