One of the reasons we love games is because we have control. FC feels out of your control way too often for a game. Imagine if you pulled the trigger in CoD and it dropped a live grenade at your feet, that's FC sometimes.
3 times last night I was 3 up, in one of them the commentators said something like that's almost victory guaranteed. It was 21 mins gone, I lost 4-3 at no point did it feel like I had any say in what happened after his first goal which of course hit the post for a ridiculous angle and went straight back to the same player. Then I couldn't move, my players stopped passing, their control was all over the place and of course he would run full speed and still dribble like TOTY Messi R1 dribble

@@rikupv EA used to just make cards fun, now they build them for a meta. I remember when they released a 48 OVR Inform Wallyson that had "horrendous" stats but cracked shooting just because he scored a 48-yard goal. Best part? It was a troll by EA because people complained that Wallyson never got an inform from a previous week so when he got a hat trick that included the 48-yard long shot, they made them a 48 OVR inform just to troll. Wallyson was one of the most fun cards to use in FIFA 11 along with a silver, Brazil 5* Skill team.

Been playing fifa since 99 when I was 7. It's changed from a game that we used to enjoy to a game that you play to keep up and FOMO. I think after over 25 years, this will be my last. Bye FIFA, the old you will always be missed.
11:43 really on point. Honestly, I think FIFA 13-14 was the best series of all time. And since I am almost 30, I feel my reactions and patience fading away slowly. Getting Rank1 in WL doesn't feel special any more..
Yup! Plan whenever you want, don’t when you don’t. Play the formations or players you want not just the meta, and most of all be ready to win and lose games and you might get some enjoyment.
Square cards are clear by a country mile. They had such a better look than the more modern style. Sorry about the WL crash out, but stay strong and thanks for all the content brother ❤
Haven’t played for over a year now I quit last years at Christmas and promised myself I’d never buy a fifa game again I wish others would do the same it would make ea actually put an effort in
@@puneetsha007 how about no 🤣 I’m still interested in the fifa games and I want them to be better I’m speaking facts if people stopped buying this year like I did it would make ea sort their shit out
i started on fifa 15, good time when you could just use gold doumbia, ibarbo, cuadrado and other cheap beasts FOR MONTHS without feeling like your so far behind the powercurve
Damnnnnn those fifa 13 menus and cards whewwwwwww Fifa 13 was my first game. Back when KSI was getting hyper and making rap faces instead of shilling Prime and being In The Thick Of It. KickTVs tourny used to be a great watch. Back when Nick was unknown, and made his claim as “a guy who knows the markets inside and out.”
I started playing FIFA with FIFA 96. I was there through tough times and good times. Playing this on PC only was a real pain from year 2005 to 2010. When FIFA on consoles moved to new engine, PC users were left in the dust by EA. We, PC players, only got next-gen FIFA with FIFA 11. That moment changed everything. To date, FIFA 11 on PC remains as the ultimate love letter to PES 6 fans. It's the most FUN FIFA has ever been and never was afterwards imo. While FIFA 14 and 17 remain as last "good" games in the series overall. Despite those games flaws, they were FUN. Gameplay was first in those games and not "menu" content or grind. Nowadays, FIFA/EA FC is all about menu grind, SBCs, much less about having fun gameplay. It's a chore to play and EA thinks of it's game as a separate job people have.
As someone who hasn’t played any of these older games that many people talk about, It feels weird, like I feel that I should like these games but the “jobness” of the games burns me out and I find myself giving up on video games all together.
Don't give up. There's something out there for everyone. I hear you, though. Nothing makes me drop a game faster than it being designed by devs like a daily chore list.
I put 650+ hours into the game this year so far, which is unhealthy high. I just uninstalled the game due to a goal I scored, me not the opponent. The script is a lot for me, I can't keep playing this.
FIFA used to be so great, when TOTW and TOTY were the big cards, and then TOTS marked the end. I remember when I would load up 50$ at the beginning of FIFA and like 70$ (from Christmas and birthday) for TOTY and being so excited because It would actually get you somewhere… like the beginning of fifa when 7.5k packs were all there was and 15k packs were really special. That doesn’t exist anymore. It takes such an investment (time or money) nowadays….
I got FC25 for Christmas. SBC's are literally for when I want a break from playing. Objectives are just something to get me free stuff if I want it. I'm quite happy sitting in Division 3 on rivals making squads that aren't meta, getting elite 1 or 2 in Squads, and getting around 8 wins in champs. The problem with games now is that most people are competitive to an unhealthy degree naturally, and almost every company is defining and refining ways to make more money out of us. Some people just want to make it big and make money which I understand. But I'm 31 now I haven't kept up enough to know the skill moves and animations, my reactions aren't as fast, my fingers aren't as limber, and I'm not going out of my way to learn them. That's for pros and the younger lot to deal with, I'm just playing to enjoy a game that I've played for over 15 years.
You remember modern warfare 2 like me then dude? Good days of gaming, regular everyday people just playing for fun and escapism. The amount of try harding these days no matter the game is insane!
@Shooooooop Yeah the golden days of gaming! I played Cod on PS2 as well when it was a campaign game 😂 I played the original Rainbow Six games. Honestly, the amount of sweating in games these days is just disgusting, especially with how many people get toxic about people who are better or worse than them. It's a video game, it's made to be enjoyed!
I tried playing on my terms like he said. Scored a few goals. Game crashed on celebration. Restart. Froze in game menu. Restart. I am just trying to relax after a day of work and after my kids go to bed.
most of u guys complaining only play UT then continue to whine year on saying its the worse fifa then continue to play the game then pre order the next fifa then complain, the cycle just repeats itself
That’s why I have been playing UT with my Spain only evo squad. Been having more fun than having all the meta cards even though I lose a good amount of games
I remember sitting on the FIFA menus and subconsciously hearing some of the greatest tracks, stuff that I would listen to outside of the game. The last couple of games I could hardly notice there were tracks playing at all.
FIFA 12 and 13 with the OP Brasilvers, 14 was Header Cheddar but you had so many cheap beasts (KDB, Draxler among other common gold cards). I know fifa 15 was super pace reliant but even that game was more fun than anything that EA has come out with from fifa 18 onwards.
No surprise when EA has literally hired pieces of shit from the casino market so it's only natural that we get 3500 fc points packs available all the time and still pull the shittiest of that promo
All people do is complain now, the same issues have always been there. The same teams? What did you think people with David Luiz, Smalling, Butland, Gervinho, Ibarbo etc.. were running. Nostalgia is so strong it makes things now look worse, but if you went back the games weren’t amazing, it was just an easier time in peoples life’s, younger, fewer responsibilities etc..
Will not be playing this game again I’ve got an interview for the university of my dreams and now I’m fully dedicated to getting the grades for it if they offer me a place. Thank you to RTFM for being a key part of my Fifa experience🙏
How does every update break something in the game? Examples: The L1 and R1 buttons for multi-select in SBC, The dissapearance of club names in game, seeing no squad before the match starts, the list goes on. Such a messy bundle of programming.
Spaghetti code. New code written on top of old code with little thought how it interacts (and then subsequently breaks it!) with it. Imagine if they took a year or two out and designed it from the ground up, on a proper foundation. But that won't bring the money in during it so... yeah.
For me the main issue started when they got rid of seasons. It used to be a game where the more you played the more you earned. Now when you are done champs and rivals thats it, and most of your rewards are left to RNG.
So happy the “Extra” Channel is doing Well and that you keep it consistent on there. You’re very likeable. Wouldn’t want to leave you behind too just yet. Luv ya Pick
People complain about not having nothing to grind. And now people complain because there is too much too grind. Just play the game dont spend and enjoy.
A crazy part of fifas death in my opinion is the way that ea just decided that they hated people actually being able to earn coins off of packs so removed league sbcs and bronze pack method, I'd honestly still probably be playing the game and grinding out the menus just to get the best team without having to spend anything, but this is the first year I just haven't bought the game
I think it started declining when totw became uninteresting. Totw were literally a new excitement every week, so.many cards were not only excellent, but also dirt cheap. Brasilvas, bronze gems...I miss this. It was basic and we were so excited about it.
Dropped FC in october and I haven’t missed it one bit as well as a lot of Multiplayer games, everybody just focuses on what the META is and abuses it. I’ve been way happier playing single player games. As the guy in the video said, it basically gave me back my freedom and let me play games on my own terms.
Played from 2005 - 2024. Started playing FUT in FIFA 12. Those games were not perfect, and there's definitely some nostalgia bias. But in general, most games just push competitive, and our generation just can't afford to put hours and hours into the game anymore. You'll probably see kids in 10 years' time doing the same videos about FC
I think something that would be cool in the next fifa is a FUT classic. No promos, no crazy absurd special packs, only gold cards, informs, you know things from before everything. Division rivals can be how it use to be with play 10 then get coins and Div up/down based on how you did. Then use those coins to buy 7.5s or other players. This would bring me back to a game I have quit for 2 years now
The game went from being fun to realistic, the community complained and complained that the game was not realistic, they added all these mechanics to make it realistic and it killed the game, fifa 13 was great because it was simple and fun, silvers were usable, informs were a big deal, and trading was amazing
When I first played FUT, I loved building my liga team. Almost same every year : Aduriz, Beñat, Parejo as my core players. Then edition after edition I saw that it was more and more complicated to keep up without playing with stronger players ... 100% agree. Lost all the fun and since 2 years I didn't bought the game and I don't miss it at all. I came back with UFL that is not perfect but with taste of potential. Felt some fun again about creating MY team with unknown players that I level up piece by piece. Yet a lot of work but hope it will find the great balance between getting money (which they need) and promoting the fun playing. Thx for you videos which I discover since a few ! Really appreciate your simplicity and freedom of speach. Cheers from France !
Makes a good point about getting older and gaming not being what you did it for in the first place. I used to love gaming, but now I’m 38, the fun of gaming is nothing what it used to be. I get bored within an hour. Before I’d play way too long.
Man I still remember getting Neymar from bidding for like 3K on fifa 14. Haven’t bought a fifa since 17 and I can’t say I miss it either. Hopefully these corporations are gonna realize that people don’t want to come home to another grind soon.
FIFA 13 and FIFA 14, man those were the times you can have a full gold rare squad after months of playing but feel proud of it. Winning Division 1 only gave you 15k coins then. The goal then was to reach division 1. The guy is right when he said FUT used to be where you can just enter and actually play the game. Now the game feels like work and having special cards doesn’t make it special at all. Packing a high rated gold rare player these days mostly means you just get a fodder.
I haven't played FIFA since it had an online mod. I was always a PES fanboy. Last year I bought FIFA and felt exactly like he said. A job. It consumed me. But, there was a light, a challenge i tried in the last months of EAFC 24. A full portuguese team. With Evos and Promo cards. So i decided to bought the game again this year just to do it from the beginning. It was been super rewarding. I don't stress with the game, I don't feel obliged to do everything because only the portuguese players matter to me. Even losing doesn't feel so bad, because i know that some games im just in a bit of disavantage because of the team.
It’s crazy I feel this way about 2k. I ran to FC after quitting 2k for good in 2023. It’s been enjoyable only because it’s been so new for me. But I’m starting to feel the pain of FIFA whenever I play Rivals 🤦🏾♂️
When you complete an sbc and you forward to quickly the game crashes right? FIFA 5 years ago had the same thing, they just use the same game every year with different skin and mechanics
The best way I think fifa could return is almost approach it like bo6 just back to basics , bring back the player trades , make longer between promos , bring back old chemistry styles and position changes also tactics , bo6 is successful cos it scrapped what users didn’t want with the attachments and other stuff n just went back to what players want . FIFA needs to do the same .
A big problem is, people play this game like it’s 9-5. And we complain when there is nothing new. When are we going to admit that the player base is part of the problem as well
I agree but 50% , people just won’t learn new things and adapt to the new features and gameplay , I know it have problems is not perfect , but hey it’s the only football game we got
A key thing is everything is untradeable and chem doesn’t matter anymore. Back then you’d rage sell a team and remake a new league based on a new inform that makes that league better to make a team in. No you can literally make any type of team and it doesn’t matter what player is released. Before you had more strategy. Maybe bbva didn’t have a good cdm then an inform is released for that league with a good cdm and you sell off your whole team over night to try that new team
Have seven 🇫🇮 players 85-91 overall in my starting 11 and i acrually enjoy FC when connection is good. Couple of months and its 11 🇫🇮 and only Dinho and R9 can break in to that lineup 🙏🏼
I’ve always said the excessive promos have killed it. Remember being able to trade cards between friends clubs for free. And what he said about pack pricing is spot on, 30 quid for 1 pack when that would’ve lasted 1 or 2 days/nights 10+ years ago. People who think very few promos would kill the game, need to remember that you would then get more excited to pack the best rare golds in each position. Teams would then become more varied and make the experience a bit fairer and more competitive for all. Evo’s have been a nice touch to make the game more unique for the individual but SBC’s should be binned, probably alongside objectives. Make gameplay the forefront and make it fun again.
Gaming industry died when everyone realised you can make a lot of money “being pro” games have turned 10x more competitive because of it… everyone wants to chase the bag 💰 Used to be a time where you’d lose a game and move onto the next, now because the competitive nature is so paramount in the gaming industry and everyone wants the significance of being the best, we lost the fun element of it all. Peak gaming and fun factor for myself halo 3 custom game modes no cares in the world just vibes miss those days 👌🏻
Stopped FUT 3 years ago and switched to clubs, the mode is broken and have his issues but when playing and scoring as a team is much more rewarding than scoring fitness shots for the sake of objectives
I was finally able to quit Fifa this year, after trying and failing for years. Companion app pre-game release would always reel me in, last year I packed Icon Schmeichel during that time and figured well I might as well buy the game now. The amount of stress, and money I've saved myself is immense. Plus, weekend time I've gained back not tryna grind WL. Or having 6pm (GMT) come and go without worrying about the next release, or the frustration of missing a glitch by not checking twitter lol. Yes, its arguably possible to play like an RTG, but unless you get insanely lucky (odds are very low) or you're very, very good - you’ll have an average or just above average team all year. Buying packs used to max at 100k packs, no 'guaranteed promo players' so felt like more of a gamble, so you wouldn't do it too often. 2 years ago they started guaranteeing certain promo players in packs, logically you'd think well my odds of getting the best player in the promo have dramatically increased....nope 😂. It's some really clever and messed up psychology, they introduce Evo players under the guise of allowing you to 'improve' your favourite players, fully knowing this means you'll hold onto that 84-rated promo card all year waiting for the right Evo, and somewhere along the line, you'll miss it becasue you feel it came already..so, you don't use those players in SBC's so, buy packs... We know people hold packs for higher promo's i.e. TOTY, so let's drop a half-decent SBC which tempts most to open their big packs and drain them for fodder so guess what, by the time TOTY drops, no more big packs to open so, buy packs... Like we see time and time again, EA can quite literally manipulate the pack weight. Damn, before this rant gets any longer and needs a RTFM reaction of its own. I'm so much better off since I stopped playing, I understand why content creators still play, they get paid off of it. And of course there will be those few people saying spening money is a choice, rightly so - it is, but if they told you their in-game experience is better for it, I'm not sure how true that would be. I'm not advocating spending on this game btw, its the opposite, they've built and manipulated this game to the point that people feel they need to. Good riddance.
I don’t play FUT, normally a career mode guy, have been buying the game for the last 7 years. This year, after I bought the game on the release day, played on the first day. Haven’t played it since.
I’ve enjoyed my past 2 days on UFL (regardless that it still needs refinement) more than my past 3 years on fifa. It just boils down to gameplay. The magic isn’t gone, it’s being neglected for money. Haven’t purchased fc25 and I have 0 regrets
The whole game is just very inconsistent. Your players seriously feel different every game. It’s part of the reason why I only play offline now, this game is just unplayable online.
as a fifa 14 grinder, i think we just grew up. theres nothing deeper than that. if you go to youtube videos during the time period, you'll hear the same complaining. fifa 14 everyone complained about headers, over the top through balls, and scripting. the only difference now is they promote gambling way more effectively
I will say tho, the slow menus and buggy objectives and game crashes need to be fixed. just blatantly poor development. like come on! the menus in fifa 20 are faster than eafc25
It's a little different I believe. It's been 10 years, and there's been a lot of great additions to the game (sbcs, weekend league, etc) but the gameplay is still pretty shit. The creativity back then was insane too, especially with the world cup in fifa 14. I skipped fifa 17-19 and 21-22, and when I came back I was so surprised on really how bad the gameplay still is. It just looks/feels like a huge crash grab
Yup that’s how it’s always been. Sooner or later things won’t hit the same. There’s a bunch of kids rn who are playing Fc25 for the first time making memories. In 10 years they’ll be talking about how fut was more fun back in Fc25
@@Troublesome_96 i remember saying back during Fifa 21 how people in the future will look back at it with nostalgic eyes. people were mad and disagreed with it... and yet it's already kinda happening people are just nostalgic because they played those old games when they were stress free and were teenagers don't get me wrong, current Fifa has a lot of problems but i bet that any old Fifa would flop bad if they were released now
8:50, they do they're just called single player games, I've stopped playing FC and COD the last 2 years and played some of the greatest releases I was skipping to grind them for the last 5-10 years and it is so much more fun fr
I had given up completely this year & decided to not purchase the game. I felt that when he said, miss the days where when the game came out it was completed.. use to feel like fifa was my escape, but recently whenever i hop on felt like a job
I quit this game one month ago, I feel like it's not worth at all, being an elite player, having a very good squad, but the games are total random, and you lose vs low skill players. This game is dead and buried.
To really really change the way video games are designed comes down to the investors and agreements between them and the studios. Video games as a live service is promoted in the industry because it helps the studios/investors bottomline while increasing the product content and value overtime. If money is not the measure for success then video games like fifa will not transform into this captilism monster. Back then 2011, 2012, etc video games as a live service was nothing near to where it is today. The people have to speak up and a way to do that is the bottomline, stop buying the product. If you keep buying the product, it will suggest in their business key performance indicator that the product is doing good and to keep making the same.
After years of saying I had enough of FIFA ultimate team, I kept playing cause me and my best friend would play friendlies in Ultimate team all the time, this is been going on since 2010s when we were in our twenties. unfortunately he passed away recently, so I never returned back to the game. end of chapter for me
In fifa 21 I was getting rank 1 regularly now I’m struggling to get out of rank 5 something isn’t right with these new games like your playing teams that aren’t in your division.
I’ve been doing a lot of teams with players I like and PnPs but everytime I want to play online its just always about competeting and winning. Which I don’t mind, however the problem arises when it becomes almost impossible to compete with non-meta teams when the skill gap is sooooooo low and there’s so much RNG. So either there needs to be a heavier focus on casual gaming and having fun or the skill gap needs to increase in order to compete no matter the team. Ideally both but I know neither will happen sadly.
FC25 is the equivalent of, if the next Call of Duty warzone you load into a match and your AI character automatically runs round the map, picks up loot for you, finds enemy players and the AI aims and fires for you and its RNG who’s AI is more accurate and all you do is sit and buy gamble packs to slightly improve your AI. This is not a game, it’s just a gambling sim of a football match.
I recently moved away from my 'meta' team just before WW promo and have gone full Saudi league evo. I can totally relate to having a bigger feeling of accomplishment beating the rat squads now, I'm losing a lot more but I'm having much more fun
I just play fifa for Reus and Neymar cards either base or special cards i love using them when they retire I'm out I will not be able to pack their icon cards
Also if you do the "work" and grind everything for months, your cards will get outdated in a couple of weeks anyways. No real rewards for your input, just a ton of 83's in different packs.
We are getting old... I'm am uncle for you all now, still high SR player and it feels like its time to let go. I really love talking about this game but the suffering to play currently makes it almost not worth it and this says A LOT about how mentally challenging it is Maybe they bring back a good gameplay sometime with less RNG, less losing to the game rather than opponent then i'll be more than ready to play with joy again
the funny part is i literally do what he says. play on your own terms. who cares what div/rank i finish? if Im having fun that's all that matters. but i've been grinding this game since 2010 ( im 32) and even though i play this game this way, i get a sick team with no money lol. i get 10-11 wins in WL and like a div 2- div 1. and man, rewards and packs are so good i cant see feeling the need to ever to ever sweat or be rats the way ppl do lol. and its so funny ppl will do all the toxic things and i just laugh cuz i literally dont care its wild observing toxicity when you're just chillen 🤣
As much as EA has ruined the game, I think the community makes it way too easy. We complained in fifa 14 and 15 that there wasn’t enough content. TOTW being the only new cards got boring. So EA gave us a few extra promos. Then we complained about wanting more promos. So they gave us promos every week. Now we’re complaining about how the gameplay isn’t good, but EA listened to us and gave us the promos like we wanted
His review is a mixed bag and relies mostly on basic nostalgia and nostalgic emotions. While I can relate to some of his points, some are full of oxymorons. For example he claims how fifa was a daily part of his life and how he slept a few hours just to play again and now he's saying we're playing too much (the motivation charged but that's fine but the result is the same) . Seems like that's the case today as well. I do agree that the fomo is a big part of it but fomo is also what we create as individuals. Just the other day you lost (due to bad gameplay) to an RTG account with It Undav as a striker. That dude got 15-0 in champs with a mid team. Anyway I think that the real topic is not about what happened to the game but what happened to him as a person. I'm older than him and you but as a life strategy I'm trying not to be nostalgic. There's good and bad with what's happening with the game and I have many concerns but I'll be categorizing his video as romantic nostalgia. We should continue to say what's on our minds to EA, they are doing some ridiculous things to this game but nostalgia is just a memory of what we used to be, not what the game has become.
One of the reasons we love games is because we have control. FC feels out of your control way too often for a game. Imagine if you pulled the trigger in CoD and it dropped a live grenade at your feet, that's FC sometimes.

3 times last night I was 3 up, in one of them the commentators said something like that's almost victory guaranteed.

7:43 this guy was so on point until he dropped Van Jigs 😂
Every year the same it’s like a dejavu 😢😂😅
It's AI

The voice is my voice. But I did put it through AI because I suffer with a stutter. Trust me it’s better than hearing Van D-D-Dijk :)
Oh cool
@CareerModeBen
11:43 really on point. Honestly, I think FIFA 13-14 was the best series of all time. And since I am almost 30, I feel my reactions and patience fading away slowly. Getting Rank1 in WL doesn't feel special any more..
A remastered fifa 13/14/15 would heal every fifa fan
Yes and 17
Go to play UFL then. People said it's like old fifa. NO promo cards, just play and keep grinding
yes omg
"EA Killed FIFA".. been reading this since FIFA 17, 8 FIFAs ago, how long has the game been dead and everyone keeps playing it? ...
cos we addicted to the menu grind not the gameplay
This is what I’m saying bro😂😭 like if it’s dead then stop playing and play one of the other football games
The fut player base is dropping year by year
@@drewskinner799I hope things change too but we all know that they won’t.
If you look at the numbers, people are not still playing. It’s actually crazy how dead this game is compared to previous
100 percent agree about "playing on your own terms" been doing this since fc 24 and been having fun again
Yup! Plan whenever you want, don’t when you don’t. Play the formations or players you want not just the meta, and most of all be ready to win and lose games and you might get some enjoyment.
Best way. That way you're gaming for your own reasons not because developers want you to grind like it's back to school/work.
Square cards are clear by a country mile. They had such a better look than the more modern style.
Sorry about the WL crash out, but stay strong and thanks for all the content brother ❤
Haven’t played for over a year now I quit last years at Christmas and promised myself I’d never buy a fifa game again I wish others would do the same it would make ea actually put an effort in
Same .. haven’t touch UT in 3 years and I just got over it last year .
Thank quit watching fifa videos as well😅😅
@@puneetsha007 how about no 🤣 I’m still interested in the fifa games and I want them to be better I’m speaking facts if people stopped buying this year like I did it would make ea sort their shit out
UFL is free and been fun
@@hezhez97UFL is free and been fun I feel like a bot lol but genuinely for no money
i started on fifa 15, good time when you could just use gold doumbia, ibarbo, cuadrado and other cheap beasts FOR MONTHS without feeling like your so far behind the powercurve
Damnnnnn those fifa 13 menus and cards whewwwwwww
Fifa 13 was my first game. Back when KSI was getting hyper and making rap faces instead of shilling Prime and being In The Thick Of It. KickTVs tourny used to be a great watch. Back when Nick was unknown, and made his claim as “a guy who knows the markets inside and out.”
I started playing FIFA with FIFA 96. I was there through tough times and good times. Playing this on PC only was a real pain from year 2005 to 2010. When FIFA on consoles moved to new engine, PC users were left in the dust by EA. We, PC players, only got next-gen FIFA with FIFA 11. That moment changed everything. To date, FIFA 11 on PC remains as the ultimate love letter to PES 6 fans. It's the most FUN FIFA has ever been and never was afterwards imo.
While FIFA 14 and 17 remain as last "good" games in the series overall. Despite those games flaws, they were FUN. Gameplay was first in those games and not "menu" content or grind. Nowadays, FIFA/EA FC is all about menu grind, SBCs, much less about having fun gameplay. It's a chore to play and EA thinks of it's game as a separate job people have.
As someone who hasn’t played any of these older games that many people talk about, It feels weird, like I feel that I should like these games but the “jobness” of the games burns me out and I find myself giving up on video games all together.
Don't give up. There's something out there for everyone.
I hear you, though. Nothing makes me drop a game faster than it being designed by devs like a daily chore list.
Having to buy formation cards and position cards on top of fitness cards if you weren’t running 2 teams man. Those were the days 😢
6:41 How we feel when YOU scream into the mic, Nick.
I put 650+ hours into the game this year so far, which is unhealthy high.
I just uninstalled the game due to a goal I scored, me not the opponent.
The script is a lot for me, I can't keep playing this.
FIFA used to be so great, when TOTW and TOTY were the big cards, and then TOTS marked the end. I remember when I would load up 50$ at the beginning of FIFA and like 70$ (from Christmas and birthday) for TOTY and being so excited because It would actually get you somewhere… like the beginning of fifa when 7.5k packs were all there was and 15k packs were really special. That doesn’t exist anymore. It takes such an investment (time or money) nowadays….
I got FC25 for Christmas. SBC's are literally for when I want a break from playing. Objectives are just something to get me free stuff if I want it. I'm quite happy sitting in Division 3 on rivals making squads that aren't meta, getting elite 1 or 2 in Squads, and getting around 8 wins in champs.
The problem with games now is that most people are competitive to an unhealthy degree naturally, and almost every company is defining and refining ways to make more money out of us. Some people just want to make it big and make money which I understand. But I'm 31 now I haven't kept up enough to know the skill moves and animations, my reactions aren't as fast, my fingers aren't as limber, and I'm not going out of my way to learn them. That's for pros and the younger lot to deal with, I'm just playing to enjoy a game that I've played for over 15 years.
You remember modern warfare 2 like me then dude? Good days of gaming, regular everyday people just playing for fun and escapism. The amount of try harding these days no matter the game is insane!
@Shooooooop Yeah the golden days of gaming! I played Cod on PS2 as well when it was a campaign game 😂 I played the original Rainbow Six games. Honestly, the amount of sweating in games these days is just disgusting, especially with how many people get toxic about people who are better or worse than them. It's a video game, it's made to be enjoyed!
I tried playing on my terms like he said. Scored a few goals. Game crashed on celebration. Restart. Froze in game menu. Restart. I am just trying to relax after a day of work and after my kids go to bed.
most of u guys complaining only play UT then continue to whine year on saying its the worse fifa then continue to play the game then pre order the next fifa then complain, the cycle just repeats itself
Career mode sucks its worse compared to older games only thing that’s slightly improved is clubs
@@whowantme9266 Play offline with friends still as fun as ever
This is their lowest player base in awhile.
That’s why I have been playing UT with my Spain only evo squad. Been having more fun than having all the meta cards even though I lose a good amount of games
I remember sitting on the FIFA menus and subconsciously hearing some of the greatest tracks, stuff that I would listen to outside of the game.
The last couple of games I could hardly notice there were tracks playing at all.
Or you actually listen and its fucking ice spice 😂
@ohword3333 - that's a name I don't wanna hear again fr. 😂
Other than games not being finished at their release, this video does not address a single actual problem in the game
FIFA 12 and 13 with the OP Brasilvers, 14 was Header Cheddar but you had so many cheap beasts (KDB, Draxler among other common gold cards). I know fifa 15 was super pace reliant but even that game was more fun than anything that EA has come out with from fifa 18 onwards.
Ffia 12-15 bro we’ll never get those games again 🥲
Remember pink slips and happy hour . The game has been turned to gambling to get the best players.
No surprise when EA has literally hired pieces of shit from the casino market so it's only natural that we get 3500 fc points packs available all the time and still pull the shittiest of that promo
Happy hour was so great
All people do is complain now, the same issues have always been there. The same teams? What did you think people with David Luiz, Smalling, Butland, Gervinho, Ibarbo etc.. were running.
Nostalgia is so strong it makes things now look worse, but if you went back the games weren’t amazing, it was just an easier time in peoples life’s, younger, fewer responsibilities etc..
The old skool CR7 was practically untouchable & could have your keeper in trouble from almost anywhere on the pitch.
The feeling you had when you started FUT in Fifa 2010-2017 was so good. Excitement and joy. Completely disappeared from 2018 to now.
Me and my friend always played fifa 10 after school and sometimes we would play real Madrid vs Barcelona so much memories 😢
That dude screaming and the girlfriend shouting shut up is soooo relatable omg 😂
Will not be playing this game again I’ve got an interview for the university of my dreams and now I’m fully dedicated to getting the grades for it if they offer me a place. Thank you to RTFM for being a key part of my Fifa experience🙏
Van Jick merchants in this stupid game are UNACCEPTABLE
For some reason everyone says fifa is dead but every player in rivals started their account in 2012
How does every update break something in the game? Examples: The L1 and R1 buttons for multi-select in SBC, The dissapearance of club names in game, seeing no squad before the match starts, the list goes on. Such a messy bundle of programming.
Spaghetti code. New code written on top of old code with little thought how it interacts (and then subsequently breaks it!) with it.
Imagine if they took a year or two out and designed it from the ground up, on a proper foundation. But that won't bring the money in during it so... yeah.
How do I play on my own terms if somebody uses meta things ingame I will lose the game
For me the main issue started when they got rid of seasons. It used to be a game where the more you played the more you earned. Now when you are done champs and rivals thats it, and most of your rewards are left to RNG.
So happy the “Extra” Channel is doing Well and that you keep it consistent on there. You’re very likeable. Wouldn’t want to leave you behind too just yet. Luv ya Pick
Back in the days i packed gold ribery in february and i lost my mind. He was over a million coins and nowadays he would be 50 K
Actually what actually touched me was, “games should be fun”. That hits hard on FIFA community
People complain about not having nothing to grind. And now people complain because there is too much too grind. Just play the game dont spend and enjoy.
Is the "enjoyment" in the room with us right now?
@Kaiser_123 well i enjoy it dont care about you or anyone wlse
A crazy part of fifas death in my opinion is the way that ea just decided that they hated people actually being able to earn coins off of packs so removed league sbcs and bronze pack method, I'd honestly still probably be playing the game and grinding out the menus just to get the best team without having to spend anything, but this is the first year I just haven't bought the game
I think it started declining when totw became uninteresting. Totw were literally a new excitement every week, so.many cards were not only excellent, but also dirt cheap. Brasilvas, bronze gems...I miss this. It was basic and we were so excited about it.
Dropped FC in october and I haven’t missed it one bit as well as a lot of Multiplayer games, everybody just focuses on what the META is and abuses it. I’ve been way happier playing single player games. As the guy in the video said, it basically gave me back my freedom and let me play games on my own terms.
Its not even the game tbh, it's the entire gaming community
Played from 2005 - 2024. Started playing FUT in FIFA 12. Those games were not perfect, and there's definitely some nostalgia bias. But in general, most games just push competitive, and our generation just can't afford to put hours and hours into the game anymore. You'll probably see kids in 10 years' time doing the same videos about FC
I think something that would be cool in the next fifa is a FUT classic. No promos, no crazy absurd special packs, only gold cards, informs, you know things from before everything. Division rivals can be how it use to be with play 10 then get coins and Div up/down based on how you did. Then use those coins to buy 7.5s or other players. This would bring me back to a game I have quit for 2 years now
The game went from being fun to realistic, the community complained and complained that the game was not realistic, they added all these mechanics to make it realistic and it killed the game, fifa 13 was great because it was simple and fun, silvers were usable, informs were a big deal, and trading was amazing
When I first played FUT, I loved building my liga team. Almost same every year : Aduriz, Beñat, Parejo as my core players.
Then edition after edition I saw that it was more and more complicated to keep up without playing with stronger players ... 100% agree. Lost all the fun and since 2 years I didn't bought the game and I don't miss it at all.
I came back with UFL that is not perfect but with taste of potential. Felt some fun again about creating MY team with unknown players that I level up piece by piece. Yet a lot of work but hope it will find the great balance between getting money (which they need) and promoting the fun playing.
Thx for you videos which I discover since a few ! Really appreciate your simplicity and freedom of speach.
Cheers from France !
Havent bought a fifa game since 2017 , it all stopped once ronalda started appearing on the front of the game
Makes a good point about getting older and gaming not being what you did it for in the first place. I used to love gaming, but now I’m 38, the fun of gaming is nothing what it used to be. I get bored within an hour. Before I’d play way too long.
Man I still remember getting Neymar from bidding for like 3K on fifa 14. Haven’t bought a fifa since 17 and I can’t say I miss it either. Hopefully these corporations are gonna realize that people don’t want to come home to another grind soon.
FIFA 13 and FIFA 14, man those were the times you can have a full gold rare squad after months of playing but feel proud of it. Winning Division 1 only gave you 15k coins then. The goal then was to reach division 1. The guy is right when he said FUT used to be where you can just enter and actually play the game. Now the game feels like work and having special cards doesn’t make it special at all. Packing a high rated gold rare player these days mostly means you just get a fodder.
Why when defending does every loose ball land at the attacking players foot within the 18-yard box?
I think this is the first year where I genuinely do not care to open fifa again
I haven't played FIFA since it had an online mod. I was always a PES fanboy. Last year I bought FIFA and felt exactly like he said. A job. It consumed me. But, there was a light, a challenge i tried in the last months of EAFC 24. A full portuguese team. With Evos and Promo cards. So i decided to bought the game again this year just to do it from the beginning. It was been super rewarding. I don't stress with the game, I don't feel obliged to do everything because only the portuguese players matter to me. Even losing doesn't feel so bad, because i know that some games im just in a bit of disavantage because of the team.
It’s crazy I feel this way about 2k. I ran to FC after quitting 2k for good in 2023. It’s been enjoyable only because it’s been so new for me. But I’m starting to feel the pain of FIFA whenever I play Rivals 🤦🏾♂️
When you complete an sbc and you forward to quickly the game crashes right? FIFA 5 years ago had the same thing, they just use the same game every year with different skin and mechanics
The best way I think fifa could return is almost approach it like bo6 just back to basics , bring back the player trades , make longer between promos , bring back old chemistry styles and position changes also tactics , bo6 is successful cos it scrapped what users didn’t want with the attachments and other stuff n just went back to what players want
. FIFA needs to do the same .
A big problem is, people play this game like it’s 9-5. And we complain when there is nothing new. When are we going to admit that the player base is part of the problem as well
I agree but 50% , people just won’t learn new things and adapt to the new features and gameplay , I know it have problems is not perfect , but hey it’s the only football game we got
Simply true. Efootball is not better either
A key thing is everything is untradeable and chem doesn’t matter anymore.
Back then you’d rage sell a team and remake a new league based on a new inform that makes that league better to make a team in. No you can literally make any type of team and it doesn’t matter what player is released.
Before you had more strategy. Maybe bbva didn’t have a good cdm then an inform is released for that league with a good cdm and you sell off your whole team over night to try that new team
Have seven 🇫🇮 players 85-91 overall in my starting 11 and i acrually enjoy FC when connection is good. Couple of months and its 11 🇫🇮 and only Dinho and R9 can break in to that lineup 🙏🏼
I’ve always said the excessive promos have killed it. Remember being able to trade cards between friends clubs for free. And what he said about pack pricing is spot on, 30 quid for 1 pack when that would’ve lasted 1 or 2 days/nights 10+ years ago.
People who think very few promos would kill the game, need to remember that you would then get more excited to pack the best rare golds in each position. Teams would then become more varied and make the experience a bit fairer and more competitive for all.
Evo’s have been a nice touch to make the game more unique for the individual but SBC’s should be binned, probably alongside objectives. Make gameplay the forefront and make it fun again.
Gaming industry died when everyone realised you can make a lot of money “being pro” games have turned 10x more competitive because of it…
everyone wants to chase the bag 💰
Used to be a time where you’d lose a game and move onto the next, now because the competitive nature is so paramount in the gaming industry and everyone wants the significance of being the best, we lost the fun element of it all.
Peak gaming and fun factor for myself halo 3 custom game modes no cares in the world just vibes miss those days 👌🏻
Stopped FUT 3 years ago and switched to clubs, the mode is broken and have his issues but when playing and scoring as a team is much more rewarding than scoring fitness shots for the sake of objectives
I haven’t played since fifa 22 and man it’s so sad to see how these games have fallen off
I was finally able to quit Fifa this year, after trying and failing for years. Companion app pre-game release would always reel me in, last year I packed Icon Schmeichel during that time and figured well I might as well buy the game now. The amount of stress, and money I've saved myself is immense. Plus, weekend time I've gained back not tryna grind WL. Or having 6pm (GMT) come and go without worrying about the next release, or the frustration of missing a glitch by not checking twitter lol. Yes, its arguably possible to play like an RTG, but unless you get insanely lucky (odds are very low) or you're very, very good - you’ll have an average or just above average team all year. Buying packs used to max at 100k packs, no 'guaranteed promo players' so felt like more of a gamble, so you wouldn't do it too often. 2 years ago they started guaranteeing certain promo players in packs, logically you'd think well my odds of getting the best player in the promo have dramatically increased....nope 😂. It's some really clever and messed up psychology, they introduce Evo players under the guise of allowing you to 'improve' your favourite players, fully knowing this means you'll hold onto that 84-rated promo card all year waiting for the right Evo, and somewhere along the line, you'll miss it becasue you feel it came already..so, you don't use those players in SBC's so, buy packs... We know people hold packs for higher promo's i.e. TOTY, so let's drop a half-decent SBC which tempts most to open their big packs and drain them for fodder so guess what, by the time TOTY drops, no more big packs to open so, buy packs...
Like we see time and time again, EA can quite literally manipulate the pack weight. Damn, before this rant gets any longer and needs a RTFM reaction of its own. I'm so much better off since I stopped playing, I understand why content creators still play, they get paid off of it.
And of course there will be those few people saying spening money is a choice, rightly so - it is, but if they told you their in-game experience is better for it, I'm not sure how true that would be. I'm not advocating spending on this game btw, its the opposite, they've built and manipulated this game to the point that people feel they need to. Good riddance.
I don’t play FUT, normally a career mode guy, have been buying the game for the last 7 years. This year, after I bought the game on the release day, played on the first day. Haven’t played it since.
I’ve enjoyed my past 2 days on UFL (regardless that it still needs refinement) more than my past 3 years on fifa. It just boils down to gameplay. The magic isn’t gone, it’s being neglected for money.
Haven’t purchased fc25 and I have 0 regrets
Nothing will ever match when I packed in form Neymar 86 rated back in fifa 15. I could pack pele today and be like “oh nice!” The magic is so gone.
Bro i played a game of rivals where an 82 rated was faster than adama the biggest load of lies I've ever seen in my life
The whole game is just very inconsistent. Your players seriously feel different every game. It’s part of the reason why I only play offline now, this game is just unplayable online.
as a fifa 14 grinder, i think we just grew up. theres nothing deeper than that. if you go to youtube videos during the time period, you'll hear the same complaining. fifa 14 everyone complained about headers, over the top through balls, and scripting. the only difference now is they promote gambling way more effectively
I will say tho, the slow menus and buggy objectives and game crashes need to be fixed. just blatantly poor development. like come on! the menus in fifa 20 are faster than eafc25
It's a little different I believe. It's been 10 years, and there's been a lot of great additions to the game (sbcs, weekend league, etc) but the gameplay is still pretty shit. The creativity back then was insane too, especially with the world cup in fifa 14. I skipped fifa 17-19 and 21-22, and when I came back I was so surprised on really how bad the gameplay still is. It just looks/feels like a huge crash grab
Yup that’s how it’s always been. Sooner or later things won’t hit the same. There’s a bunch of kids rn who are playing Fc25 for the first time making memories. In 10 years they’ll be talking about how fut was more fun back in Fc25
@@Troublesome_96 i remember saying back during Fifa 21 how people in the future will look back at it with nostalgic eyes. people were mad and disagreed with it... and yet it's already kinda happening
people are just nostalgic because they played those old games when they were stress free and were teenagers
don't get me wrong, current Fifa has a lot of problems but i bet that any old Fifa would flop bad if they were released now
8:50, they do they're just called single player games, I've stopped playing FC and COD the last 2 years and played some of the greatest releases I was skipping to grind them for the last 5-10 years and it is so much more fun fr
Im 29, grew up playing fifa 13 & up.. remember wagering my friends but only using like 2-3 star teams.. building silver teams in division 1 … man
I had given up completely this year & decided to not purchase the game. I felt that when he said, miss the days where when the game came out it was completed.. use to feel like fifa was my escape, but recently whenever i hop on felt like a job
The fact this guy mentions Punching in a Dream as the first song. What a chad
I quit this game one month ago, I feel like it's not worth at all, being an elite player, having a very good squad, but the games are total random, and you lose vs low skill players. This game is dead and buried.
Remember when you got thrashed 4-0 and leave the game being like "daamn...that guy was good". I miss those days.
To really really change the way video games are designed comes down to the investors and agreements between them and the studios.
Video games as a live service is promoted in the industry because it helps the studios/investors bottomline while increasing the product content and value overtime.
If money is not the measure for success then video games like fifa will not transform into this captilism monster.
Back then 2011, 2012, etc video games as a live service was nothing near to where it is today. The people have to speak up and a way to do that is the bottomline, stop buying the product.
If you keep buying the product, it will suggest in their business key performance indicator that the product is doing good and to keep making the same.
After years of saying I had enough of FIFA ultimate team, I kept playing cause me and my best friend would play friendlies in Ultimate team all the time, this is been going on since 2010s when we were in our twenties. unfortunately he passed away recently, so I never returned back to the game. end of chapter for me
In fifa 21 I was getting rank 1 regularly now I’m struggling to get out of rank 5 something isn’t right with these new games like your playing teams that aren’t in your division.
Every year, EA drops a product on the open market. Every year, the open market accepts the product.
I’ve been doing a lot of teams with players I like and PnPs but everytime I want to play online its just always about competeting and winning. Which I don’t mind, however the problem arises when it becomes almost impossible to compete with non-meta teams when the skill gap is sooooooo low and there’s so much RNG. So either there needs to be a heavier focus on casual gaming and having fun or the skill gap needs to increase in order to compete no matter the team. Ideally both but I know neither will happen sadly.
FC25 is the equivalent of, if the next Call of Duty warzone you load into a match and your AI character automatically runs round the map, picks up loot for you, finds enemy players and the AI aims and fires for you and its RNG who’s AI is more accurate and all you do is sit and buy gamble packs to slightly improve your AI. This is not a game, it’s just a gambling sim of a football match.
I recently moved away from my 'meta' team just before WW promo and have gone full Saudi league evo. I can totally relate to having a bigger feeling of accomplishment beating the rat squads now, I'm losing a lot more but I'm having much more fun
I just play fifa for Reus and Neymar cards either base or special cards i love using them when they retire I'm out I will not be able to pack their icon cards
Also if you do the "work" and grind everything for months, your cards will get outdated in a couple of weeks anyways. No real rewards for your input, just a ton of 83's in different packs.
We are getting old... I'm am uncle for you all now, still high SR player and it feels like its time to let go. I really love talking about this game but the suffering to play currently makes it almost not worth it and this says A LOT about how mentally challenging it is
Maybe they bring back a good gameplay sometime with less RNG, less losing to the game rather than opponent then i'll be more than ready to play with joy again
Would love to know where the guy that packed iniesta is now.
Anyone else thinking cheaters have ruined gaming completely in every game
Nope. They can't ruin SP (single player) games imo. Thats my preference cos only developers can ruin those. 😂
@DubberRucks hear you lol good shout
No link to the guy that actually put effort in for the video?
Haven't played any of the newer versions of Fifa since Fifa 17. in 2018 i tried out Pes and then became a Pes addict since then..
the funny part is i literally do what he says. play on your own terms. who cares what div/rank i finish? if Im having fun that's all that matters. but i've been grinding this game since 2010 ( im 32) and even though i play this game this way, i get a sick team with no money lol. i get 10-11 wins in WL and like a div 2- div 1. and man, rewards and packs are so good i cant see feeling the need to ever to ever sweat or be rats the way ppl do lol. and its so funny ppl will do all the toxic things and i just laugh cuz i literally dont care its wild observing toxicity when you're just chillen 🤣
As much as EA has ruined the game, I think the community makes it way too easy. We complained in fifa 14 and 15 that there wasn’t enough content. TOTW being the only new cards got boring. So EA gave us a few extra promos. Then we complained about wanting more promos. So they gave us promos every week. Now we’re complaining about how the gameplay isn’t good, but EA listened to us and gave us the promos like we wanted
When you here the music of the those old fifa's... Amazing feeling ❤
Football simulation is 6 ft under and it will never be restored
His review is a mixed bag and relies mostly on basic nostalgia and nostalgic emotions. While I can relate to some of his points, some are full of oxymorons. For example he claims how fifa was a daily part of his life and how he slept a few hours just to play again and now he's saying we're playing too much (the motivation charged but that's fine but the result is the same) . Seems like that's the case today as well. I do agree that the fomo is a big part of it but fomo is also what we create as individuals. Just the other day you lost (due to bad gameplay) to an RTG account with It Undav as a striker. That dude got 15-0 in champs with a mid team. Anyway I think that the real topic is not about what happened to the game but what happened to him as a person. I'm older than him and you but as a life strategy I'm trying not to be nostalgic. There's good and bad with what's happening with the game and I have many concerns but I'll be categorizing his video as romantic nostalgia.
We should continue to say what's on our minds to EA, they are doing some ridiculous things to this game but nostalgia is just a memory of what we used to be, not what the game has become.
Yep. Nostalgia warps the past view for sure. Just imagine the generation that's coming up that'll one day be nostalgic for THIS era. 😂
yeah truth is old fifa was less toxic/money driven but new eafc is 10x better gameplay wise 🤷🏾♂️
