How do I get fouled by the AI
This game is a joke, I hate online game play so stick to squad battles. I’ve played 40 games now trying to get a foul tried shielding, just run around me and get the ball or poke the ball through my legs etc tried dribbling, just slides or standing tackle to perfection everytime. tried pulling the ball back and slow dribbling etc with close control, it’s impossible to be fouled yet there is a challenge out called dead ball danger where you need to score 3 free kicks. It’s a joke that this is impossible to do. It’s yet another failure on EAs partSoft ban due to quitting to one match
Ok so I quit a match due to playing a horrible little scumbag. So now I cannot log in. This is an obvious soft ban. EA, how out of touch can you be 🤦♂️ people will OBVIOUSLY quit if up against a pay to win virgin so alienating all but the smelly rats with personal hygiene issues is your objective then congrats you’ve achieved this But if making long term players quit the game due to soft banning because of quitting a match is your long term aim, then you’re utterly delusional and are making lots of people (I know many people in my friendship circle quit) then yep you’re doing the right thing Clueless fools
Progressing total in SB
Why have a progressing total in Squad Battles, why not just have a total at the start of the week so people know what to aim for, play all your SB on Monday and you are in the top 100 then by Sunday you have dropped to Elite 2 or 3. Is this so you can add more points progressively in case more people reach Elite 2 and get punted back down to Elite 3 then people get less rewards . Plus if you play all your matches on a Sunday or Monday as soon as you reach Elite 2, then the rest of the Squad Battles are scripted even more to make it harder. Best thing to do is play them all on a Saturday night as the scripting is not as bad because you don't reach Elite 2 so quickly.Unable to stay signed into EA servers
Every night for the past week, I keep getting disconnected from the online EA servers despite being signed into my Playstation Network and having 0 internet connectivity issues. I get signed out 15 minutes after starting up the game on Ultimate Team and while doing the simplest of things like an SBC, opening packs, or just simply making changes to my formation/starting 11 before I end up getting disconnected from online servers. Whenever I get signed out, I try reconnecting to the online servers by pressing the “R3” button, just to get a message stating that it is unable to connect and to check that I am signed into my PSN and to check my internet. I am then forced to close the game, do an internet connection test to verify THAT MY INTERNET IS WORKING. My download speeds typically show around 400-470 Mbps, and upload speeds show as 50-70 Mbps, so I clearly do not have any connectivity issues. Once I relaunch the game, I am then met with the same message of being unable to connect to the EA servers and to check that I am signed into PSN and to check my internet connection. After closing and re opening the game again, I am able to connect back and play for anywhere between 15 minutes to 45 minutes before I get greeted with the same message that I have lost my online connection. Sometimes I have to relaunch the game several times before I am able to connect to the servers and stay connected for a few minutes This becomes increasingly frustrating whenever I am playing a squad battle match as I will “lose connection” and be forced to lose a match despite me being ahead in goals against the AI teams. EA, please fix you server connection issues. There is no reason that I should continuously get the same message over and over again despite STAYING SIGNED IN to my PSN account and my home network connection having no interruptions.Inconsistent gameplay.
All last week, we were practicing on World Class to get squad battles. We got to the point where we could beat 91 rated teams, albeit in an intense match. I've played FIFA since FIFA '98, but my last game was FIFA 18, so I'm not used to everything being online and constantly glitching. For my girlfriend, this will be her first and last FIFA game (EA is not getting another cent from us). Anyways, we are learning to play this terrible game, and we get to the point where we can beat World Class teams of 85 and under fairly comfortably. Then, an update drops 2 days ago, and everything went downhill. We can't steal the ball, finesse shot doesn't work (they literally shoot a regular shot 80% of the time), our players abandon the ball in the middle of a dribble, our far stronger players get muscled off the ball by midgets. We lost a match against an 84 rated team on World Class. Race for points is over. The very next game, I'm trying to take my frustration out on the opposing team (at this point, I get more joy from watching them do involuntary yoga positions from my slide tackles than actually scoring), two of our players get sent off, and we still win 4-2 against World Class team....they only scored 2 off pens. What is happening? What was in that update? Who tested it? Does anyone work at EA anymore or is it AI doing market research on how broken the game needs to be before people stop falling for it?
