Forum Discussion
I am not an EA employee or sympathiser but claiming they are deleting posts criticising the game is not right or fair. Considering the forums are mostly used for complaints (justified or not) EA do not remove posts unless they are offensive.
And to be fair to EA, not a lot of posts are constructive or broken down with any realistic football logic. Some people are just angry that they can't defend, score or spam stupid moves. That makes the game rubbish in their opinion.
I have my gripes and try to post constructive posts that often no one else posts in and contributes to. But then I see 10 posts about people having issues with boots or some other non other game breaking thing. These forums are weird and not as constructive as years gone by when there was some solid contributions.
I dont claim the game is perfect. But I can assure you that these forums make up a seriously small number of people. Thousands and thousands are online and playing. I always agree that game breaking exploits should be a priority and there is no place for stupid skills chain moves etc... People then complain about Ultimate Team not being realistic. The whole mode is arcade. I dont know what part people dont understand with it. The mode is a joke. I'll take any dig I can at it.
It's the ruination of this game and has been for years. People believe UT is football. It really isn't and is just a glorified card collection mode that warrants nothing. And the way people play it online is a disgrace to football. That one is on EA for allowing it.
On another note. Those who claim the game started off fun. They are not wrong, However, no one could defend. 99% of goals were brain dead stupid turning in circles and fidget spinning until a defender moved slightly the wrong way (because jockey was broken) then score. Kick offs were glitches and so many goals came from them. People scoring rainbow flick volleys non stop too. Corners had a couple of easy routes to goal. Wingers did not make smart runs. People were running around with a striker or CDM while AI defence won the ball (this still needs work to force people to defend). The game speed was too fast and strikers were to agile while defenders moved like tug boats. That did need work to balance the defending vs attack. EA have a battle with the majority wanting realistic gameplay while content creators often want stupid chain skills and easy ways to score (low driven shot - That needs more nerfing btw).
For me, giving this game more the Pro Evolution Soccer 6 vibes is the ultimate and that game was trying to be realistic football for its time. Yes, Adriano was a beast.
7 paragraphs without saying anything is quite impressive, as are the levels of condescension

Not sure there is anything too patronising in the 7 paragraphs. The amount of people who play the most unrealistic mode in the game (ULTIMATE TEAM) Then complain about everything wrong with the game is what makes me laugh.
The game mode is a joke and then people complain about realism. You have men mixed with women for crying out loud. DO NOT EXPECT REALISM OR DECENT GAMEPLAY. You are playing with ridiculously overinflated player statistics. As I say. The mode is everything that is wrong with this game. There are plenty of players out there getting on with this game. There is more to this game online than Ultimate Team. That is players faults for not playing with stock teams with realistic player attributes with a more sim like approach from a large amount of the Seasons community (Not everyone of course). You are playing UT with the absolute sweats of the world (Again, there are some on Seasons too). But Ultimate Team is just players dripping in sweat and trying to get people to disconnect so they can move on to the next game. There is no tactical warfare on Ultimate Team. It is just boosted stats and the same patterns of play. Nothing realistic.
All in my opinion.
Also, Most forums are usually people with issues with products and complaints. Rarely used for praise. That is with all forums. It's not surprising how these forums function. Part of the issues with this game and forums is often some players refuse to learn how to play. Won't play tactically. Don't play strategic. They just moan and moan. Never their fault. Always the game. - And with that i will put my disclaimer that the game is not perfect by any means.

You aren't even capable of understanding what people are unhappy about. Why are you even here? Do you want a mod to give you a gold star?

I'll take one if on offer...
List your gripes with the game? With that super unrealistic mode...
I am capable of understanding everything mentioned here, Reddit, X and wherever else. Not a lot of those complaints make sense and strike me as people who are not capable of learning and playing the game. That or, could only play day one... sprint sprint and turn turn.. Goal... ZZzz.. - Plenty of people refuse to play football properly on this game. Constantly holding sprint and wondering why first touch is bad. Everything else is to blame but not them. I see plenty of that.
I know the game isn't perfect but certain posts are neither constructive or genuine.
This forum is made up of a small community. It should be heard but when people are calling the game rubbish because they literally can't buy a win in UT.

Look go back 5-6 years ago and you will see that 90% of fifa players are only playing UT , it’s the reason of success for this game not seasons or manger or clubs , so you can’t expect for UT players to enjoy playing other modes.
it’s like going to a restaurant and order cola and they tell you we have Pepsi only , same logic- gndtv2 months agoNew Veteran
Season Pass first 25 level are for clubs and managers if next it same no one will buy it i think there is way to save game start give 2playstyle+ on players to hype game again but don`t will save to much game because is same every single game copy-paste low driving shot with Pina and spin around that it and because AI take control of you team most of time you can`t control it how you like it EA must to understand casual players pay money for game and not content creators but yeah season pass need to get change and give more stuff for FUT players instant clubs and managers
