Some thoughts about the announced innovations of EA FC 26

I was looking at information about the new EA FC 26 and there the developers claim that they have redesigned the mechanics of pass processing on the server. This will happen on the very first frame. It's all great, of course. But the question involuntarily arises, if this was done somehow differently before, what is in the minds of these developers? Pass, no, it's not 50% of football, it's 80% or more. How could you make a game about pass so that you have to wait for every third pass for a few seconds and your player runs offside or manages to close, and it's not uncommon for such things to lead to a missed goal. And the funny thing is, now it's being presented as a big innovation, when this shame just needs to be fixed quietly, because it shouldn't have been there at all.

  • I'll explain more. Previously, such things were perceived as problems with connection and server loading, but now that the developers have recognized that this is an objective flaw in the game, I'm blown away. How could it even be released in this form?

  • It’s because of realism. Here is an extreme example. Say you kick the ball from your gk to your striker. The ball is halfway there and you hit pass. Should you have to wait for the striker to receive the ball and control it or should he break reality and pass the ball instantly. 

    Now online will no longer be realistic so they can move more towards arcade.

    No, I'm not talking about such situations. The player often already in possession of the ball just waits before starting to play the animation of the pass, although the button has already been pressed. And this is not conditional realism, because sometimes everything works at once. It just breaks the understanding of timings in this game. And in general, this game is too arcade to justify anything from the standpoint of realism.

  • You can also be experiencing connection delay too. They explained everything in the article and why it will be changing. Delay isn’t just one thing or one answer. More than half the playerbase plays on wifi causing connection delay.
