Gameplay

It's happening to me too, sometimes I think this game is a scam.

You only win when they want you to. You can't imagine how your team of 100 OVR will be fall on each other while trying to mark a team of less than 94 ovr . THIS IS SO HILARIOUS AND FRUSTRATING! 

I see it as a deliberate effort from the system.

How can your team play better when it has lower OVR than higher OVR ???

Another thing is network issue, no matter how full your internet network is immediately you turn on to play head to head, it drops automatically, most especially when you're on attack or under attack it freezes and deliberately distorts the game, and you lose some matches you shouldn't ordinary lose.

Maybe this game is a scam.

Yep. I started playing the game around a month or so ago. I've asked about these things from here as well. It seems no one is interested, so I received no replies except from the head honcho Mendozzamagic.

So, what I've found out through these few hundred games is that there seems indeed to be a system (many many people seem to call this the "script") of controlling the success of a given FC Mobile user in both H2H and VSA,, perhaps to level things out and not give any player advantage. I have no idea how this works but this is what happens when the game is against you in H2H-mode:

- Your player statistics like speed (pacing) are either leveled down to match the opponent, or worse. This also involves other statistics such as how players handle the ball, catch passes, block defenders etc. Even very skilled players of your own fail at simple tasks you know they excel at.

- The game glitches, and stops following your commands, e.g. you have a clear goal in front of you, but pressing shoot does nothing. Or you shoot but the strenght of the shoot doesn't match what you asked for. Or your player all of a sudden decides to pass a lob backwards. Hmm, funny. Sometimes you have network errors at critical moments. I played a game where an opponent was attacking, the game froze, and finally my own player had scored a goal.

- You get significantly more penalty whistles from doing nothing (or at least this is not known to me), giving the opponent more chances to score.

So there. It causes an overall feeling of "I can't play the game anymore", except when you try the next day you might have the opposite: ball almost flows to the opposing goal, your own defenders make incredible leaps to tackle the opponent, etc.

And yeah, my experience is that in the VSA-mode you have chances where you have to take a bus to reach the opposing goal, and most of the above there applies: you lose your ball easily, score at a lower rate, fail more obvious shots, defenders are inhuman or there are too many of the to get through, or you get abruptly cut off from a chance even if the ball would've landed favorably.

Oh, I have to try finding an active league. Good idea. I understand EA has to make money by not making the game fun enough, as ads are completely optional.

But at the same time I don't see how this sort of system drives the sales either, as when the leveling or "script" decides your current performance, you don't really see much of the result of your new shiny player. You'll still lose, and nothing goes in, no matter from where you shoot.

Yeah. What a crappy game, really. When you finally realize skill has very little to do with the game after all, it just makes everything fall apart. I think that's it for me.

I'm a member of the Reddit r/FUTmobile group, which is a subreddit for FC Mobile games.

There was recently a topic about the people with very low OVRs on top of the leaderboard, and pointed out that you can only do that by hacking the game. So whatever leveling is happening I don't think it goes so far.

My theory is that the lag is there, not because of your bad connection (ping might be 20ms and you still have it), but due to the gaming system which needs time to react to cause surprises in the game, and lead the game towards a certain direction. Notice how the gaming is silky-smooth in AI-only matches.

Regarding the "scripting", there was a video on Youtube of a similar occurrence in FC24 (or similar) where the commentator reacts to a pass by starting to comment on what will happen before the pass has even made. Go figure.

Yh makes no sense what is the point getting the latest players when lower rated cards out play higher rated cards I have 104 ovr team highly rated cards and I am in fc champion 3 in head to head makes no sense I can see myself quitting very soon if this continues as no point upgrading just to loose to lower ovr I feel your pain
