Notes from a 50* player…

I’m actually kind of blown away by how bad the game is after the update. For EA to do this right before the world‘s game event is really bad. I’ve been playing for over a decade and I’m a top player with an entire team of The Best, latest players, and I find the game to be barely playable. The problem is not with one or two things, but with almost everything about the game. Goalkeepers are terrible, dribbling is abysmal, shooting is weak and power shots are gone, passing bounces off of players feet, and the world‘s game event is totally unplayable because the players are so bad. I’ve never been more disappointed in this game. I currently play 3 to 4 hours a day and I’m considering completely stopping and uninstalling the game. That’s how bad it is. It makes me think no one at the EA offices even play. On top of all that you guys have doubled the requirements for the Box players. Widened the gap between F2 P and P2 P.  Not to even mention the 300 draft glitch, Puyol glitch, etc. It’s always been obvious EA is all about the money but when it’s only about the money and you don’t care at all about the players or gameplay, people will stop playing. Including me. I hope everything gets fixed, but the odds don’t seem good.

    I second everything you’ve said here. The update is abysmal. Gameplay is so freaking sludgy. Even top players feel “heavy.”  And don’t even get me started on the shooting and goalkeeping. Ugh.

    As for F2P and P2P, I’ve been posting for months now about EA has created a two-tiered system — one for wealthy “whales,” and one for the rest of us who can’t afford to spend hundreds of dollars a month. It’s a virtual caste system and it’s antithetical to the type of community that once existed around this game. But that, apparently, is the way EA wants it and so we see more and more long-time users bailing it. Who can blame them?

    AartaTheAlien​ - That is being worked on at the moment with the highest priority, and Fish acknowledged it on the stream, so hopefully, there is an update coming soon with much-needed fixes.

    jtdreese​ Most people get suspended for breaking the forum rules, and for the way they wrote their feedback, not for the feedback itself. Be factual, constructive, without insinuations and hatred. Stick to the board rules, and you won't get a suspension.

    You talk to me like I work for EA. I don't, I am a volunteer mod who has played this ever since, so I have seen how this game has changed over the years, for better or worse. However being a mod, does allow me to pass the feedback to the dev team, and I have been doing so for quite sometime, which is why I know that gameplay and matchmaking/sever loading is being worked on and examples are being collected as we speak and even the last stream clearly confirmed that broken gameplay is being looked at, so the feedback does get listened to (although it has not been clear open feedback loop with the community which makes it look like the feedback is ignored). If it were something easy to fix, it would have been deployed already.

    P.S. Your post again breaks the rules of this forum. I'll let you figure it out.
