AI Too Difficult (not a happy anniversary)
Hello EA, in the latest version, the strength of the AI teams has been increased to a degree that is hard to imagine. They possess extremely powerful reaction speeds, making it very difficult for pla...

Ok, let me troll some more 😈 (or as some would say, offer a different point of view). There are loads of different player types in this game. From new to legacy, and from prefer easy/autoplay to like difficult/competitive). Ideally they all should be accommodated. Over the last 2 years it was all easy autoplay (aside from rivals which is ultra boring), so whole segments of the playerbase have been twiddling their thumbs, fell asleep on the couch while playing the game or just left.
Since that probably comes with a drop in revenue, EA/Nexon threw us a bone. Cool. And tbh, it’s challenging but nowhere near as nightmarish as s2 campaign. Actually, to think of it, most of the content can be played/autoplayed as before. Only part that needs some focus is the new Football Center. And we still need a weekend tournament.
Clearly you’re just trying to get a reaction out of people and I understand that - that’s your whole thing - we get it, you’re a troll. This is sadly all you’re good for - but maybe save it for the Discord cesspools?
A challenge you say, eh? But, if the matches by design are impossible to win, due to the insanely boosted AI, how is that a challenge? Boosting AI like this, is what you in movies would call “lazy writing” - just dumb and makes no sense
But like I said before, if you truly enjoy playing impossible-to-win matches, more power to you - but most people don’t
Easy there. What I was trying to convey, unsuccessfully I may add, is that there is a sizeable part of the player base that was asking for more challenging content and game rebalancing. A change in the game balance may also have helped with the way this game is designed (no resets, better players with higher stats coming with higher OVR) and to address concerns with AI defence in h2h. Pretty sure EA is hoping that folks will now try to acquire better players to beat the new settings.
If you’re struggling with the game, there are three options, 1) wait for another re-balance, 2) build a team with better stats, 3) adjust play style/formation. Before the change to FC Mobile this forum used to be a good place to get help with 3 and how to beat difficult content. Just pose the question, you’ll be surprised how many folks may be willing to help.
On a lighter note, here is an example of when the game was so hard as to make grown men cry and phones being thrown against the wall in frustration, enjoy, https://youtu.be/wzolJraLv20?si=TfUmMlJRpyQOXI2A
Building a team with better stats implies having higher OVR players, but many of them are only available on "real money" payment. I understand EA needs real money indeed, but there has to be an option for really good "human" players to succeed, and not only for really rich ones that can afford paid packages every now and then.
Me - I bought some star packages for € 11,- the last one being the one with Kakà, but looks like it's outdated now.
Just played another Chronicles game, the Chapt. 1 / game 3 of Chech, a 3-stars rated game, and AI is back on its feet and mostly unplayable.
- @tomjam099 I am all for increasing difficulty, it makes you be better. But then we have a situation where you need at least three hours daily of dedicated time for game. Most of people can't spare that much, me in the first place. At least you can finish some events in the meantime and have fully focused energy and time on the rest of the game (like Division rivals etc.)
Haha, you won’t get me, Mr. Troll - but please keep trying. You kids are all the same 😂
Just out of curiosity… by how many goals did YOU win the final game of the Anniversary Weekend Challenge? My maxed out 106 ovr team played that match 11 times and lost 11 times
I lost 11 times - not because I suck, not because I need help with the game, not because I need a better team - not because of anything but the fact that EA doesn’t want me to win that match, so they decided to make AI unbeatable
Some of the Icon Chronicle matches are challenging now, which I enjoy. I agree, winning 12-0 on auto is not fun. I don’t mind a challenge that is beatable - beatable being the key word
But I can’t imagine many people were able to win that Weekend Challenge. But please share your experience with that particular match
Happy to. Played weekend challenge on second day. Needed two attempts for last game. First game ended in a draw and my penalty game needs some work. Second game was a success. Scored 3 in 70 minutes or so and played more cautious after that because Liverpools front 3 are quite deadly on the counter. What did I get for my efforts? My third 92 Umtiti, great 😐. My 102 team and formation worked fine but wing play is less effective. Wingers are used to spread out the defence trying to find a runner with a ground pass.
