@davehoehn970 That’s fair and I can get behind that. At this point, any discussion to hopefully force EA to respond to our pleas, I welcome with open arms.
I really like the idea of them explaining the mechanics behind the +1, +3, why PLY/SNP/PWF is the only viable combination on the top two fwd lines, and the same thing with DFD/OFD.
Why are TWF/TWD useless, why can’t we edit player types anymore to work around their ridiculously awful chemistry system, etc
That’s one thing that always bothered me about online play. The “meta play” / “meta builds” I used to play league of legends a lot back in the day, and everything was so cookie cutter just to be able to win. Little to no chance for variety/experimenting. That’s why I mostly play offline games now.
I’m all for explaining the chemistry systems, and very in favour of the idea of seeing the affects of it too, like what a +3 does to that particular line. Even if we can’t visibly see the affects in the line up page, give us an in-depth explanation, and let the results be seen (+5 1st line scores 10 goals in 3-4 games, whereas +0 1st line scores 4-6goals in 3-4 games) something like that. Where the actual goals and points are affected by the scoring engine and difficulty obviously.
I honestly don’t think we’re asking for a whole lot.
We’re simply asking for the features that are ALREADY in the game, to work properly/work logically and realistically, and for these game breaking bugs to be fixed.

+1 for League reference... i did my time for about 3 years there as a platinum support, before I couldn't stand the abuse any longer.
And like you, since I'm now worried about offline games, I want those to make sense and work properly when I pay for them 🙁. We won't see anything without more voices, so just another attempt at... something.
- 5 years ago@davehoehn970 I’m with ya. Mostly played back in season 4. Play a few games a month once in a while when I’m bored. I Stay away from ranked though, online competitive gaming is toxic unless you play with friends/an actual team.
I wholeheartedly agree. The more people that talk, the better. I was getting tired being one of the only ones that said anything for the past few months. But a few more people have been voicing their frustration and displeasure with the pathetic state the game is in, so I’m glad more people are stepping up
