Re: AI Too Difficult (not a happy anniversary)

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.

  • Well, having played that match 11 times with my 106 ovr team with all players at training level 30, that’s actually quite impressive - I too use that formation. I like that 4-3-3A

    Good job, Sir! You definitely have better skills than I do 😂 Everytime I played that final match, it felt like the AI could predict my every move, so no matter what I did on offense, it was dismantled and then they countered and kept scoring, coz my defense were unable to stop them (not fast enough)

    But keep in mind, the average player who doesn’t play hours daily and isn’t in FC1 or FC2 will NOT have fun with this one and their phones are in serious danger of ending smashed against the wall 😝

    And yeah, the rewards should have been boosted too 😂 Going through all that for a 3,000,000 coins player is rough, my guy 😂

    @KeNiel_0023 must be the excessive play time during Covid. Used to play way more when the game design was more engaging. Now I play maybe 30 minutes every other day. Stopped spending too, no point. There is no advantage, it’s all pack luck. Star pass is all stuff I neither need or want. OVR is only good for VSA, irrelevant for everything else. Stats and correct work rate are way more important.

    Pretty happy with my team just now. Reus excels in pve. Haaland is good in h2h but mainly in the way in pve, but I like the zen 🧘 celebration.

    Thierry Henry speed rating/attribute level - 150 ( 103 25/30 ). Overtaken by defenders with 90 speed rating in semi-pro difficulty. I think they were 87 20/30.  Same with my 103 Chiesa with 142 speed rating/attribute level. This is just ridiculous. Why even rank/level players if their attributes are meaningless? The game is nearly unplayable against AI. The weekly Football Centre matches are close to unbeatable unless you get lucky, and yes, I said lucky, even at the lower levels of difficulty. 

    I wouldn't claim I'm that great at the game but my team is 103, with my lowest starting player at 102. Every single one of them has speed rating over 100, yet they are extremely slow and their reaction times are horrid in comparison with the AI. Also, simple passes are left to roll to the AI team, too. Its turning this game into a dumpster fire real quick. 

    Do better, EA! Make your game enjoyable and playable!

    Do better, EA. Fix your game. Stop moving these posts to General Discussion when we all know its technical issues you created. Level 80 players should not be able to overtake level 103 players who have almost 60points higher on speed attributes than the level 80 players. Through passes should be through passes and normal passes should be normal passes. Defenders should not just stare at the other team's player as they run into the box and score easily. This game is nearly unplayable and is certainly not enjoyable lately. 

    If you want specifics, look at all the posts about these issues that have been 'swept under the rug' (moved to general discussions or removed) with not one person from EA commenting on them saying they're even simply looking into it.

    @tomjam099 OK, this is way off topic, but where do I find the History of everything I played (as you posted in your first screenshot).

    I have never seen this before and I’ve been playing this game for years! 🪿

    95% people losing and 5% winning, if u want to say that's the sizeable part of player base who r wanting to make game more hard then ea should continue with u and them leaving us in void, right? And I'm also with many top level players except kids like u who want to create fight on chats showing fake pictures or pictures of winning somehow in 20% of their matches . Even that experts said that this is extreme, the hardness is hard to believe , also idk which player base said to increase game hardness, maybe in ur imagination
