There have been some things done to this game that have actually removed the fun while trying to enhance it.
People spamming R1 all the time and then trying to spin spin to win. in Ultimate Team (which I do not play) Clàudia Pina being the meta attacker and then those stupid constant low shots into the bottom corner of the goal while goalkeepers miss the ball is stupid. How can this be?? Logic is gone...
I will keep saying that Ultimate Team is the ruination of this game. It has created an absolute monster and the desperation of people who follow streamers on the likes of "X" mooching for meta formations and tactics are an embarrassment to the community.
EA have virtually stripped the fun out of the game to cater for people who don't even watch or play football - makes no sense.
Once upon a time you could set online league tables up and all sorts in this game. Ultimate Team was the end of that because of money - Seasons mode is the best online mode IMO because its stock teams with at least some people trying to play football tactics and strategies. Unfortunately some clowns do come over from UT and try to do skill moves all the way down the pitch from kick off because seemingly that is football - scoop up then shoot. Idiots.
Konami falling off a cliff and allowing EA to run riot hasn't helped. eFootball while still trying to focus on football falls short in other areas.
EA need to have balance where football thinkers do better than numpties who don't think or play football. Attackers need to be smart. AI defenders need to mill around BUT not be winning the ball for you while you hunt with a CDM or ST. AI defenders should lose shape at times and that is where you need to switch and actually defend - Defending is supposed to be a skill...
If EA want to invite me to the studios to talk about football and what actual football sim fans want I am happy to attend. - Not all streamers are healthy for the future of this game - They want to create content - they want 10-9 score lines that entertain. Where have the tactical battles of a tight win gone?
EA...
