Gameplay Ruined Since The Anniversary Update
I have played FC mobile every single day for 18 months and after four days of the anniversary update. I literally haven’t played since. I thought maybe it was a mistake that you would fix but I returned today to find all of the same problems…
I guess it comes down to whether you think this is a gambling and winning game or whether you actually want a real game underneath it. But if you want the latter, you’ve moved a long way from where you want to be.
There are so many changes with the gameplay I don’t really know where to start…
Passing is laughable. Passes do not go where you’re pointing. Virtually all passes operate as through passes even when you didn’t want them to, players run past the ball or away from the ball, control is virtually impossible in attack.
Ball control is non-existent. It bobbles in front of you and, in situations where I could’ve dribbled around people previously, easily, they just step forward and take the ball.
And let’s not even start on defence. My players literally checking back - not imagination, on video - to avoid catching higher OVR players that I’d skilfully covered.
It feels like AI is running the show. Maybe that’s what you want for your game, but it’s not a skill game at that point.
I’ve read very little about this, hence my decision to write something and I’m gobsmacked that all of the influencers on YouTube have not really talked about it. It is such a major change that it feels like they’re in cahoots with you in not doing so.
Anyway, maybe I should say thank you, as you have broken my obsession with the game literally overnight. In all seriousness though, I would like to know whether this was intentional and this is the direction you’re going or whether - as the odd person I found talking about it suggests - it was a mistake that you are going to fix in due course.
In the meantime, the game is unplayable for me.
Looking through this forum, I don’t expect to get a reply but I would love to hear from other players whether you are equally frustrated with it?
