How do we feel about the power curve?

This was supposed to be the year that the curve slowed down.  Here we are in February and if you're not running a full midfield of "Gullit Gang" players, what have you been doing?  And can we even call it the Gullit Gang anymore?  It used to be special to get all 80+ face stats. . . now we have it in October on some random midfielder.

The game feels so fast because every players stats are so bloated already.  As players get more PS its going to continue to get worse.

This is just a theory of mine, but player aura. . .lets call it an area around their body in game that they can affect.  As stats inflate, as PS+ (like Intercept) are on every player. . Bruiser. . etc... Their aura grows.  I'm seeing players 2 meters away from me magically slam into my attacker and walk away with the ball with perfect touch.  I'm seeing a midfield where if you pass a ball within 2 meters of a player, they will always intercept it.  What this means is, they are winning tackles and intercepting balls that are so far out of their reach in reality because that aura is too big.

This - I believe - is why we're going to hear more and more people complaining that random bounces, BS tackles, and that now more than ever the randomness is back.  It's because the way the game engine works, it can't balance out these bloated stats and the animations/physics.

If you're not playing tiki taka passing and just ping ponging the ball around, its very hard to create.

Shooting. . .low driven and finesse are just way too OP.  Keepers are worthless.  The goals that go in from incredibly unrealistic angles are infuriating.

I really think what we know as a Gold Base, next year, the overall stat should be in the 70s and 80s, but the underlying attributes need to start much lower to account for the weekly stat bloat from promotions.  

IMO - promotions don't need to always grow on each other.  Each one doesn't have to up the ceiling for the stats higher.  Promos need to be more creative and doing other things (exactly like they did this year with adding National chem, adding league chem, etc...).

This continuous bloat ruins the game way too fast.  What do you think?
