Hi vldsdfz155
Thank you for your kind words, I appreciate that. I can certainly understand how repeated silence or lack of acknowledgement can eventually wear down anyone’s patience. Spending time explaining issues and hoping they will be addressed, only to see little response, can naturally lead to frustration.
That said, I still try to stay calm about it. At the end of the day, this is not my product and I have not broken anything. I am simply a customer and an observer describing what I experience while playing the game. Of course there is some disappointment when the gameplay does not behave as expected, but I learned a long time ago that reacting with anger rarely leads to productive outcomes.
As the saying often attributed to Confucius goes: “If you can stay calm and collected, you are always a winner.” Remaining composed usually keeps the discussion constructive and focused on the actual issues rather than emotions.
I also understand your concerns about the patching approach. When gameplay issues appear and the community raises them in large numbers, it is reasonable for players to hope that those concerns will be reflected in the changes that follow. From the outside, it can sometimes be difficult to see how closely community feedback is influencing development decisions.
Ultimately, I think most players here are asking for the same thing: a stable and consistent gameplay experience where the systems in the game — ratings, stats, playstyles, and AI behaviour — function as intended. The game clearly has the potential to be excellent, and many of us remember earlier versions where certain aspects of gameplay felt very refined.
For now, my approach is simply to continue sharing observations calmly and constructively. Hopefully, over time, clear feedback from the community can still help highlight where improvements are needed.
Once again thank you!
SpartanLogan23 If I lose my cool, it would mainly be caused because of playing a game with low responsiveness and even lower football IQ. Like you said: a lot of players still remember the glory days. Of course 10 years ago there were also bugs in the system, but at least the game was fun, it felt more natural and actually felt like playing football. With how technology evolves, we should be closer to the real football experience by now, but instead we are further from it than ever.
I'm sure people wouldn't rage this much if there would be some proper communication from the community managers. Just a simple "Hey man, we heard you and we're working on it". Or even a "Can't be done" would also be ok. But just show that at least that you care.
Because when we rage, we do it for the love of the game, or for what it once was. If we wouldn't do that, we would have left a long time ago without looking back
