What is the point

First of all, I love this game, ive played it since Fifa 97, every year I've brought it and it's the only game I play.

Im not a top player, I get to elite regularly, and pick up between 10-12 wins in champs every week, but there are some players who are just so much better, and those people I dont mind losing to at all, unless the start being toxic, then controllers get broken.

I have both editions of this game, PS4, and PS5, I started on PS5, but the game just seemed broken with stupid animations so I went back to basics and played old gen, which to begin with was brilliant and honestly like a breath of fresh air.

Obviously if im making this post, it isn't anymore, and let's be fair EA aren't going to respond or do anything about it so im just going to rant at 1AM on a Wednesday morning.

I have a 95 rated team, its ridiculous and I've spent far too much money on this game. That's a problem in itself but one that I need to do myself, but this game makes me feel like im playing silver stars tournaments from games gone by. Heavy touches, all my players feel like they're as heavy as akinfenwa, they turn like tanks. The passes dont go where they should, I find myself making 250 plus passes a game, just to try and find an opening, only for the my opponent to block the shot because it seems so delayed.

Now if it's my connection, then great, tell me and I won't waste my money on this anymore, that's fine. But ive upgraded everything I possibly can just to get some decent game play. I've upgraded to a dual sense edge, a ps5 pro, heck I've even upgraded my router to a gaming router and run an internal ethernet cable all the way through the house much do my wifes dismay.

The reality is, nobody will tell me anything, they dont care at all, because people will still buy the game every year in the vain hope it will be OK, but every patch they release it gets worse.

I checked their 'connection checker' shock horror, ea say it's a great connection. So where is the issue? I wait till Tuesday night (previously Monday) to play, so the servers are less overloaded. But tonight has been the very worst it has been.

I just want to enjoy this game, or be told officially I cant enjoy it because of my location, the servers, the time im playing, or anything else. 

At the moment it's a card collecting game, because the game is rubbish, and if that's the case I may aswell go and do trading cards or football stickers, at least you get something at the end of that.

My rewards are rubbish, hey that's just luck, but at the very least id like to enjoy the games to get those rewards.

    Sry, but the game is trash... There is no saving it. Evry update just makes it even worse... They are completely clueless. Best you can do is not to buy it next year and move on top other games... Goals looks interesting and maybe Fifa 2k will be good... But dont give EA more money 

  • Look, in my game, FC Hub and Clubs don't even open from the first month; I can only access Ultimate Team. It's ridiculous. I submit tickets, but they're automatically deleted, not read, or even sent.

    I truly understand the feeling. I like FC's attacking game, but online, it seems quite often unbalanced in terms of player speed. Of course, I can get an easy win if my speed is better than others, vice versa, I will lose a game very easily when my speed is way lower than my opponents. This happens very often and makes the game less attractive because winning or losing depending on not really skills but luck for better connection. EA needs to think how to balance the speed level between each other.
