It should be illegal to make a game this shit and charge full price for it. Granted I got it for free on PS Plus but seriously, this is not a football game.

The tactics don't do anything, the players don't do anything unless you prompt them to pressing R1 or L1, there is no AI intelligence offensively or defensively, it's a buggy mess, and even with the realism sliders put on made by the community, this game is still diabolical to play.

this game is 'free' on ps plus right now so i downloaded it to play through a recent bout of ennui. the manager mode is fine, basically unchanged in 10 years but the bones are still solid. only new feature to speak of is that it gives you a little review of how good you did on transfers. its a fun lil nod to the implied world of blog posts and tweets amd group chats that exist in the imagination of the player. "oh cant believe Chunderly let McJohnson walk for nothing" you hear in your head as the game chides you for not finding a better way to offload a middling youth squad player. its barely good tho, given that im still prone to accidentally overpaying my new players in factors of ten given the way the wage input field jumps around. the game still gave me an A rating after paying some serie d loser 10000 dollars a week because i didnt pay any transfer fee

honestly losing the fifa license or whatever did really fuck this game, no jleague hurts me. no ligamx! i was reduced to playing as the fucking chicago fire!! also, super sick to include the nswl and other intl womens soccer leagues, but i cant play a manager of a womens team?

anyway this year is finally the year that i found out its more fun to set the matches to live sim amd yell at the tv rather than play them at all. i almost cut my finger off making dinner as late penalties in the mls cup semifinals unfolded. they should just like preinstall this game on tvs, its better without a controller.

my last thought is that it an unreal debacle to play multiplayer games locally in a lot of cases these days. like i made like 20 fake xbox accounts last year for a halo mcc lan party so i could tell who was shootimg me. fifa lets you just assign like a 'kick off' name that doesnt require account level access. this should be enforced by law on any game with local multiplayer

oh also its too easy to beat goalies in this game

I wish it was same sh*t different year. Forced merging of women's football to ultimate team is a huge downgrade.

Mt meme não ter a seleção brasileira :/

I think most people think fifa is a bad game due to it’s gambling and pay to win aspects and the fact that it releases every year. These things for the average Fifa player (including me) sadly don’t matter anymore. This community doesn’t care because it is used to these things most people who played this game grew up with it and don’t know any better.

That is the reason I expect EA to atleast make the core gameplay of FIFA good but they can’t even achieve that with this game. I mean how can you release the same game over and over again and make it worse every year as an example the gameplay feels different everyday I am not even kidding sometimes it feels smooth and fast but most of the time just sluggish and slow. Ultimate teams power curve is evolving way to fast by making way to many promos so that everyone has an Overpowered squad halfway through this games life cycle. Something that still annoys me is how pace dependent everything is it doesn’t matter that Rodri is one of the best defensive midfielders in the world if he doesn’t have a promo with atleast 90 pace by December he is useless.

Carrier mode is also shit and gets worse every year the only thing EA add are some animations that yes are cute but get repetitive very fast and simply can’t be counted as added content. Also please for the sake of my life please remove the club objectives how can it be that I win the Premier league with Luton town and still get a bad managerial rating because i didn’t sign three players from Micronesia.
