To get the best rewards EA have basically said you need to be either: 1. Unemployed. 2. Be a content creator. 3. Be a child so you don't have to worry about the time you have.
And all the content creators aren’t thinking about that. They all say that the changes are good, even Nick. I play SB because I’ve a baby boy, who can wake up every moment so I can pause the game. So shit that they reduced that. I haven’t touched rivals yet this year. And it’s sad that the evo upgrade isn’t working anymore.
@@maldust7438 The only problem I can see with that is that all the people who have common sense would have abandoned the game by then so you're left with only the sweats.
If they patch speed boost they will need to fix pace in general it’s getting ridiculous how you can’t outrun defenders even with 90+ pace compared to 70 pace John stones
@@FutSheriff that’s not why the speed boost needs a fix you can definitely defend speed boost just move your defender back and they’ll speed boost into the defender but here’s the problem I tackle the ball but the attacker still has it stuck to there feet what am I supposed to do there in that situation I hate mechanics that are just rng and random no way to learn from a mistake it’s just oh well he got lucky with the ball fucking sticking to his feet what was the point of even defending it
The following kills the enjoyment 1) kick off glitch 2) 5 back defensive AI 3) pressure tactics during inconsistent gameplay 4) "realistic passing" 5) inconsistent shooting 6) speed boost
7) Corners. My smallest players defending the CBs is a joke. Having to drag my CB over every corner and even then getting dunked on is a joke. 8) Sprint-Bug where sometimes the players run in slowmotion when the ball is free
11) the game is based on FOMO. 12) rng rules rather than physics 13) nonsense skill moves like the L1 heel to heel and step overs that give a speed boost.
i play every mode in this game, pro clubs the most, then career mode, then ultimate team. and oh boy its a sliding scale of enjoyment. Pro clubs is like peak fun, most fun I have gaming, career mode is cool, and i like it a lot. Ultimate team is an unbridled cancer that i can't handle but am slightly addicted to.
The problem is there’s a crowd of people who believe it’s a good game… it’s simply not. The focus on realism is what’s ruining the game as a whole. EA needs to return to the roots with their terrible gameplay and fix it. I got 10-5 in WL this week in division 1 but my god. We have static passing, terrible dribbling… terrible rebounds, being forced to use green-timed trivelas, and green timed finesses is ass. Also 45 points for advanced rewards in rivals is senseless, we have lives outside of this video game. The whole gameplay experience is just a deterrent from continuing to play. The only good mode is Rush but playing with randoms is like playing with ppl without brain cells. Also it’s just going to be a neglected game mode after a few months. It’s bizarre man
So you think the gameplay shoud feel more arcady like previous years or what. I think the static passing is good as it encourages you to actually use a bit of skill to pass instead of just spamming the pass button and hoping it would always go in the right direction. There should always be difference between a card with higher passing stats and lower passing stats for e.g. Jorginho has great passing and terrible pace but with arcady gameplay, i don't think he'll be useable at all. With arcade style gameplay, the most important thing is pace which in my honest opinion is not fun to play. I could actually play with slower centre backs in this game unlike in previous versions. I also think that attacking should be more difficult than defending and when you're attacking: Your tactics, shooting, passing, pressing, dribbling(I'm talking about realistic driibling like you see in real matches) and your positioning should matter instead of the op mechanics like cutbacks, stepovers, finesseshots, powershots, Trivelas, speed boosts, etc.
@@BryanHanrahan-i8u So you're saying that it's ok to have all those op mechanics in the game, if so my opinion differs from you. It's a football simulator mate which means it will try to replicate how actual football is being played.
@@talhabilal7630yes but a game is to enjoy, not to play real football, dribbling and skilling at least creates a skillgap instead of players dueling and falling over each other everytime, the realism kills the enjoyment of the game
Remember when left stick dribbling was a thing? Remember when you didn’t have 4 different button combinations that all do a different type of dribbling? Remember when your players dribbling stat, WAS HOW GOOD THEIR DRIBBLING WAS? That’s my biggest problem with recent FIFA’s. We all used to love jumping on fifa, versing a mate and breaking their ankles. You can’t do this in any of the new ones. It’s slow, boring, build up, build up, build up, pass back to my CB, pass to my GK, pass to my CB. ITS A FUCKING NIGHTMARE.
@@ayazarshad-gb7wb FIFA died to me when the removed it after like 2020. I played from 09-15, then had a break until fifa 2021. I was so disappointed when I returned. FIFA 23 was actually decent and pretty fast flowing IMO. But and EAFC titles have been ATROCIOUS. They’ve made it so people who don’t have the brain capacity to play fast can actually compete now. So they nerfed all speed in the game, so it’s literally a passing simulator. In my opinion, the defensive AI isn’t even the problem. ITS THE ATTACKING. The defensive AI seems so overpowered in recent years due to your players just STANDING and guarding grass.
Play the last gen version of the game. Stuck with it for years it’s 10x better, it’s an actual video game not a chess simulator like the new gen version
Everyone needs to stop acting like they can’t fix the gameplay… they can. All they need to do is remove DDA. DDA causes 99% of the problems, anyone who is half decent at the game can feel their team affected by it so I know these top creators can feel it. These creators need to speak up about it more this would actually be a good game without it. Losing 2, 3, and 4 goal leads in the second half to a terrible opponent because the game is nerfing my team into the ground is unacceptable.
@@dripdrop599645th minute, 90th minute momentum is DISGUSTING. Also, if you’re up specifically 3-0 in the 60th minute, get ready for your team to be in mud for the last 30. It’s a genuine joke
Nah they rather gaslight us... we even have some content creators that deny the existence of dda and call us stupid for believing in it... those creators only believe in "inconsistent gameplay" like it's 2 separate things.
Its not single player, u cant play squadbattlea without connecting to the server, so even if you playing battles, u are on servers who can crash or its just you i never have this issue for example
@@LukasKaspar-l2l well must not be me at least I’ve been playing since fifa 17 and never really had DC’s in squad battles before. And it allowed me to play the whole game then at the end where you get the points and then suddenly DC
@@riddim.I’ve not played since fifa 19 and I can definitively say it’s not just a skill issue, for some yes, but the games been fundamentally f*cked for like 6 years and even before that when fifa was still ‘good’ 😂
A really good advice this year, is to set your ground passes atleast to semi, as with assisted this year, passes will not always lock on to reciever with assisted on, same apply to every type of passes ingame, but it depends whats confortable for you, how many you want on semi, but groundpasses on semi is a must this year, also square passes should be set to semi, as with that setting you can double press and get a hip highted cross, that is very overpowered inside the box, especially if you have players with acrobatic 😇
@@thevikinggamer454 do you remember loading up fifa and just playing and the game did actually depend on football knowledge, the fact you have to go through all these settings for different game modes to me is unacceptable and a reason to not buy
@@thevikinggamer454 when FC24 was out I was still playing fifa 23 for free on game pass, FC24 had been out for like 6 months by this point, I started a player GK career mode on fifa 23 and you would be subbed as a goalie and the camera angle for GK was completely broken, the whole game mode was unplayable and the next iteration of the game had already been out for months… how people still play and pay is incredible to me
Dagnal is one of the best new fifa creators ive found, and I found him in a year I wasnt even playing ( last yr) . Definitely deserves to get big so we can have atleast 3 people with a brain in this community as creators ! :P (ItalianStallion is the 4th but he dissapears way too quick every year :P ) The idea that fifa 15-17 wasnt sweaty is insanity :P DKT with Reus as a reward. Still have nightmares from those final games, think i failed to get him and i was a div 1 player for years before and after LOL
last year was kinda it for me on ultimate team, i spent most of last game playing clubs and career mode from novemeber to the release of fc25, i tried to get back into ut because i loved it in 20,21,22 and was an elite division player back then. i've played atleast 20 games of rivals and am nearly division 4 and haven't lost a game but i get zero enjoyment out of the wins because there is no way to score other than green timed headers. i am a very consisitant at green timing shots well i was in fc24 now i struggle to even green time a couple times a game other than corners. i play on playstation with wired connection and i never get good gameplay i even packed son from my rivals rewards but i can't get any enjoyment out of the card because the gameplay is just so unenjoyable. the game over the last year has gone in a more realistic direction but its done nothing but make the gameplay slower/way more unresponsive and delayed.i can't even go into a game anymore being confident i'm gonna be better than someone because im worried the gameplay could be so slow you never know what you're going to get. the game 3 years ago was not realistic one bit with how many skills u could do but now i look back at that and think those games actually took skill. these new games take zero skill other than braking mechanics because u can't win any other way and its not fun or enjoyable playing one bit the first day i got the game i was trying to refund it on my ps but thats not possible and now im stuck with a game that i only play clubs or rush which is my other point. other than rush even clubs and career mode gameplay is becoming unenjoyable and is making no one want to play it. games in a really bad state at the moment but we have to come to terms that it'll never be fixed and we are just getting older. i want to enjoy all of fc because im a huge football fan and watch games all the time but this game is not and will never be a football game when its not balanced.
Ladies and gentlemen I figured it out the reason why ea increased the amount of wins needed for rival rewards it's because they know some people won't have time to sit and get 15 wins and what happens when you don't get rewards for some time you eventually buy fc points to buy store packs to compensate for not getting rewards is it genius yes ,ethical you tell so yeah the game is literally a chore that will eventually drive you to the store good luck guys and have a wonderful day
@@djDMS possibly but I went to balanced for awhile and it would still happen time to time. I do push LB on Xbox to have a player make a run but that’s when I’m in the attack and they shouldn’t be the one make a run
@@xtra_1807 I’m trying out a new tactic right now and it seems to fix the cm problem, with that being said cbs still decide to make 30 yard runs for no reason lol.
Playing as a casual this year. The gameplay is great at times, imo the most fun I've had since 17. There are big issues ofc, but I feel like I can actually break down 5 backs and play out of a high press. I think gameplay wise we are getting better
No idea if you're gonna see this - I hope you do - but one thing I can't believe I HAVEN'T seen creators discuss is the new rewards and how they've been specifically designed to make casuals rely on store packs for good pulls Yes they've juiced rewards for high end player rewards, but in A) making WL less accessible, and more importantly for the casuals, making Squad Battles more accessible this has meant that getting good pulls for casuals is now only really possible by buying store packs with guarantees Other years if you played your 30 SB games on World Class you were pretty much guaranteed Rank 1. This year nowhere near as the 12/14 games makes it more palatable for better players sweating out Ultimate level games This imo needs to be called out - it's the most blatant cash grab and because creators are more often than not higher level players it's totally passed them by. Anyway rant over.
So? Good players and people who play the game more often should obviously get better rewards. Why would i try my best to get to Div 1 if the Div 5 people get similar rewards?
@@RanielEber no one is saying better players shouldn't get better rewards. What I'm saying is you shouldn't be designing the rewards in a specific way to make kids spend money on casino store packs. Jesus christ
Just imagine if they worked with the community. They could take a year of building a game with the us.. Every patch could be content from passing to skills or shot types etc.. Where the community has input on how to change it and fine tune it to perfection at the end of the year you'd have a fully functioning game built from the base up
Like for me my issue is AI when I'm the box beating a manual user I always get bum rushed by two AI that fill in the gaps this is right infront of the flipping keeper like why is AI helping that deep and they're super fast
@@Giz187Bro wtf? You want the ai to be scared of you and let you 1v1 the keeper? Also Ive never experienced this issue, if you’re already in the box just get your shot off earlier before the ai block you
@@xtra_1807 I have a bad tendency to go for the 100% chance and that means I'll find myself dribbling around AI and then an AI that covers that AI and then the AI recovers. EU on PC is basically all playing low block 4-5-1 so when defending they basically have a about 8 inside the box. AI shouldn't be there to play for someone and it clearly does. Like if you got the stats for people intercepting majority of it is the AI only the top tier will be cutting a passing lane manually and that's where skill gaps should come from not whose got the most broken tactics or AI assistance -_-
Why is nobody talking about the rebounds? Genuinely laughable how many rebounds result in me scoring or conceding a goal... This is supposed to be football simulator not ping pong
I’m not against having to get more points for better rewards as you have 7 days to reach it so it’s easy to spread the games across the week. However I do feel 45 is too much, especiallly with Rush and friendlies objectives. As someone who has a full time job it’s a struggle now to keep up
Why is no one talking about Co-op? It's horrendous this year. Keeps getting kicked out of games in rivals all the time. The match starts playing, then all of a sudden - kicked from the game + a loss. Completely random when it happens or not. But if you play 4 games, I guarantee it happens at least once.
Here is a fun fact for everyone. On steam (it’s the only place you can see the player count, but it’s probably the same for console aswell) there are 30K LESS average players compared to last year. Wonder what October is going to be.
FC 25 is the worst Football game ever made we need big content creators to speak up about this shit man since the Ignite engine was taken away last seen in FIFA 16 the game has slowed right down and become soo boring, back when Clubs was amazing. As for Ai defending I think tactics and Ai should be all taken away then its about who is better than who and non of this double pressing OP bs enough of Ai winning games for people. You can literally control the oppositions GK and bring them out the net and score a goal its game breaking EA need to seriously sack the people that worked on this game seriously.
The reward system is better only if you're a sweat that lives in this game. The changes to Rivals, Champs and especially Squad Battles has made this game completely pointless for casual players. If you can't get top division rewards, it's buy packs or get fuck all for fodder, let alone good cards.
I wanted to play One Nation friendlies for the packs, to me didn’t look like friendlies, i met just rats and the sweatest people ever, just like fut champs.
Managed to complete those games in a couple of hours. I quit the game as soon as I saw a French team which is the majority but eventually you'll find people with Brazil, England, Germany or Spain and then you have a fun game.
Oh yeah boo hoo it's EAs fault that there are people who are better than you at the game. If you can't handle online competition, stick to Squad Battles or Career Mode, or play some Casual stuff like Clubs.
I feel like fifa isn’t built to last. For me it feels more like they want you to buy the new fifa, get hooked for a maximum of 2 months, get frustrated with the game, leave, then join after a few months like it’s a toxic ex and spend some points. The game isn’t built around fun, but pure money making. Of course we knew this since the birth of ultimate team but I just think it’s gnarly what is happening. I see it with myself and my friends that as soon as we get back on the ‘fifa grind’ we all get more annoyed in our daily lives, yes it’s a game but it can effect you so bad. Not only the community but also the game is grounded in toxicity and I find that very harmful.
EA have even messed up with the Evo cap. For e.g. I cannot evolve my Noni Madueke or Pedro Neto in the Cannon evo because of their speeds both being above the cap of 89. The cap would have allowed this, but they've now gotten rid of the cap and gone back to the old evo system meaning i niss out cos of 1 or 2 stats
@@jhobson828 yeah but they’re trying to reward the players who play enough for 45 points to get the great rewards. unfortunately you’ll either have to be: - play fifa as ur occupation - be unemployed - a kid with no responsibilities to be able to get 45 points. however, i’m saying when i have spare time i can easily get 30 points (middle tier) but there isn’t an incentive to get that.
Funny how people think the new features in EAFC is something new. Rush is a copy and paste of Madden squads, the season pass was brought to Madden a few years ago, the play styles are a copy and paste of Madden player abilities, the constant packs and promos is something they have been doing in Madden for years. If you want to know what is coming to EAFC in the next few years then check out Madden ultimate team.
They gotta nerf both speed boost and defensive AI too. Everyone is a 5 back rat at this point and dont do anything, but spam speed boost and kick off glitches. At this point this isnt even a video game, but some kind of coin flip whether the script let you actually pass around and win or let your "amazing" opponent win with pushing 3 buttons and 9 players in the net.
The issue is the players lmao no matter what systems are in place this toxic community will always rat, dont blame ea for this just enjoy the offline modes
I totally feel you on the gameplay issues, it’s like they went back in time with some of these mechanics! 😅 And don’t even get me started on the kick-off glitch, it’s ruining the vibe for so many players. Maybe they should take a page from older games and bring back smoother controls? Just a thought! 🚀
If they nerf the sprint boost and trivella, they need to nerf 5atb to the ground. Make the gameplay faster and more consistent, make the AI defending worse so little Timmy just can’t run around with his CM/CDM and just wait for the AI to get the ball for him.
Honestly might drop this game 2 weeks in. I hop on lose to corners and just bad passing 1 game and I hop off. Ima 15/16 wins in champs, only got 4 this weekend so baddd
@@emmanuelekpa1080why would someone lie about it .. dda bad gameplay can easily lose u game u should win am a elite player last 3 years 14 and above wl wins and I struggle on this game this year founder since 12 aswell my first wl I barely managed to make it through because gameplay so bad it's not that deep
I played on a Monday at 3pm/4 just to test the gameplay out, I would nornally never play at that time I just had to check. The gameplay I witnessed was honestly a different game altogether, everything felt so responsive and it was the first time I can fully say I enjoyed playing this years edition. But, it is a disgrace that we pay 90 quid and have to choose a time when to play it, its a faulty product. This game will never be good until their server overload issue is fixed, I have had it for multiple years consistently but this year its somehow managed to become even slower and sluggish all whilst on 12ms
I quit yesterday. Thankfully, never actually paid and only had play pro for a month . Genuinely, if people enjoy the game, then fair enough. But I was somewhat fine till Friday. Just in div 3, fairly even split of wins and losses. Then had to scrape 6 wins in Champs with HORRENDOUS input lag, worse than last year, BY FAR. Barely won 5 games since. Literally no tactic works, no formation, nothing. The miniscule amount of success/'fun' I was having vanished. There's just nothing left in fifa anymore. There's no actual skill in this game. Sure, you can consider second man press, intiating constant press, constant offside traps and allowing the ai to do all the defending for you a 'skill', but not for me. Even the fucking pros are using 5 backs and abuse every bullshit trick under the sun. You move even one defender manually, even in the right direction, the whole defence crumbles. Even if you tackle correctly, the ball ricochets 4 times and ends up back at their feet. Passing is the worst it has ever been. 90% of this game (and 24) is ai controlled, and all you have to do is sit back and bore your opponent to death so they over commit. It used to be about being able to beat your opponent through actually being able to defend yourself and punishing them. Now it's just all about being able to abuse the bullshit auto mechanics, even more so now compared to last year which was already an absolute shitshow. Back to the sidelines for me
1st week of champs made me more frustrated than I ever was last year. Rewards are still good but damn the game sucks this year when gameplay isn’t consistent. Just frustrating.
I feel like for this fifa you have to be so good to get into average ranking not making it a bad game just harder for the average player fighting for div 3/4 or rank 3 in champs
Bruh it's actually insane how defensive the game on next gen is. Played 10 rivals games, scored 12 goals and conceded 8 with attacking tactics. Oldgen version offers sooooo much more space and less AI defending it's crazy most games have 3-4 goals in them. I feel for people that play that handball, 30 passes each attack, speedboosting version I never had less fun playing.
This game is basically 5 at the back, pass around penalty area until AI makes mistake and space opens up, speed boost simulator. I don't give a fuck if it's "realistic" or not, this game is not fun at all.
Tbf, when the servers are good (usually after 9pm in Italy) the game feels really good to me. I really enjoy the gameplay at night even when I’m loosing. You can combine and score some great goals without abusing the mechanics and stop easily the speed boost because the defenders are reacting properly when you don’t have input delay. In the day time the game feels heavy (the same problem for years already). Once you find the right balance with the tactics and understand how your players move, the game feels nice. Obviously, the game like the years before has many negative aspects (DDA, kick offs, bugs) but at least, in the right time you can enjoy some good football combinations which was not present in the past versions.
in my case I played since the PS gifted fifa 22 with the subscription, i played all the rest games until this 25, and this is the worst for me, even worst than fifa 24 with all the "errors" at least with the last game i enjoyed the gameplay in this FC25 is so hard to defend and attack because of the tactics and roles if i dont put the roles the players dont do anything and if you put the wrong one they do something your dont want em to do, also the GK are so bad most of the games are 3-3 and end with 7-7 or at the best 3-7, and i can garateed the SBC and the modes are so demanding you have to play a lot to get rewards even at squad battle is hard to get elite 1, i wont put any money to the game and will be the last one cuze i dont see any changes, the only fun thing is rush but is not a game mode that hook you to play a lot
I am not sure why people say EA is irresponsible and inconsistent. They are consistently making the game worse every year. It's like we are moving back in time.
Guys I have advice for you if you tired of FC25 just play one FC24 game and comeback tell me what your new rating for fc24 I swear its lot better now for me 😭😭😭💀
Just uninstalled, never wanted it to come to this but I just can’t keep putting myself through it I’m playing something that’s ruining my mood and yes it’s just a game but I’m going on to unwind at night and just getting wound up and all, not worth it I just switch to cod (prolly fuckin worse)
Tip if you play offline. Set User and CPU gameplay sliders: 0 Sprint Speed 75 Acceleration 100 pass error 75 shot speed 25 shot error. The lower sprint but boosted acceleration makes the players feel responsive but not burst away from opponents. The increased passing error enhances passing ability and a player with good passing is much more noticeable. The gameplay is a bit stop start like a real game with lots of turnovers. So getting into a good position is rewarded with the boosted shooting.
Nah, idk bruh. That speed boost gotta go. It’s a mechanic abuse that’s also not even among different players even. I guess some defenders can nullify it but it’s ridiculous as a thing
PROMOS?!….. 😭😭😭😭 who the f cares?!!! there will be another promo next Tuesday representing the ancient Chinese Han dynasty…. WHAT?! exactly! literally nobody gives a fck about his clown S anymore! lol! 🤡
I’ve got mbappe robbie Keane putellas all the best players way more to add, I’ve always been a 16 win player got 11 last champs can’t win a game in division 3 They’re making the game noob friendly With no left stick dribbling, green time shots not as effective, bounce backs are crazy I’ll stick to efootball
Second man press button function needs to be deleted all together , and the Ai should cover the spaces , they should replace it with block/ intercept function , this way there would actually be a skill gap in the game , instead of players spamming the tackle button and getting defensive speed boost to intercept and block , defending should be manual , covering the pitch should be the Ai , this way we would have an actual skill gap , and we would have a fun attacking game since players will make mistake and if they don’t control their players they won’t get the ball , but now the press works now , it’s so stupid and the interception are so stupid , I can’t play from the back I can’t run I can’t dribble because the jocky speed is insane , goal keeper rush and keeper movement in general is so so so fast , if they patched the attacker speed boost then all speed boosts should be patched to make the game play fair ,
Sorry Nick, but I don't agree with your take. Yes, rewards are good if you're above average player who puts tons of time into meta and learning what is OP (speed boost this year is insane), but we are in what? 2nd week of game lifecycle and there are already SBCs requiring 87 and 88 rated squads. Not to mention they added 250k pack to the store with guaranteed Base Icon. Of course they are aiming this game at whales who will spend money. It's disgusting strategy. Those packs are also aimed at people who don't have time to play 24/7, who have families and are casuals. EA is like: hey, look, here is how you can improve your team, give us money. The inconsistent gameplay is still here. EA still doesn't force you to play on no assists, etc. Game basically plays for you on assists (you just mash buttons) and don't get me started on how OP AI defending is. 5 defenders at the back formations are back and stronger than ever. I do enjoy this game, but it has flaws.
I only really play clubs and manager and the pass hasn’t made me go on ultimate team. It doesn’t really give you anything useful just a few cosmetics. But then again what can they give us.
That is the number 1 thing I absolutely hate, I swear to god, once your keeper dives once to make a single save it will take them 8 seconds until they get back up
17:15 Players not making certain runs have been in the game for quite a while, it's not because of Player Role. It is there because the "community" complained how FIFA was a pressing X button simulator, that passing was too arcadey. Hence EA made those runs unavailable. And since EA think skill gap for e-sport means there should be an extra button press for every situation/context, EA wants you to utilize Creative Runs or press L1 for those obvious runs. As much as EA likes to deny that there's no scripting in the game, that is an obvious script that stops player runs when certain criterias/parameters met in the game. Like being level with the ball carrier on the Y-axis of the field in the game or something like that.
It’s so early in the cycle and this is already a damn issue. I’ve played 20+ extra games with nothing to show for it cause of these exploits. How the hell am I supposed to get 45 points with this crap inbetween playing console players!
Yo Nick I hope this message finds you well. I am currently working on my research paper, which focuses on analyzing the career modes in EA FC 24 as part of my study on video game narratives and gameplay dynamics. I would love to hear your opinions about the game, particularly regarding the career modes. Your insights would be incredibly valuable to my research. Survey: 1. How would you describe your overall experience with EA FC (formerly FIFA) games? 2. Which game modes do you find most engaging in EA FC 24 and why? 3. Can you compare EA FC 24 to other sports or narrative-driven games? In what ways does it succeed or fall short? 4. What do you think contributes to EA FC 24's status as the leading football simulation game? 5. How satisfied are you with the career mode (both player and manager)? In your opinion, does it effectively balance gameplay and storytelling? 6. If you could improve one aspect of the career mode to make it more immersive or narrative-driven, what would it be? 7. What features of EA FC 24 do you think enhance player engagement and immersion? 8. What aspects of EA FC 24 break immersion or limit the narrative experience for you? 9. Do you believe future EA FC titles will improve in terms of narrative elements and player immersion? What changes would you like to see?
In general I’ve enjoyed the gameplay so far. I quit 23 and 24 really early and this has been a bit of fresh air. Obviously there are still problems with rebounds and attackers being able to tackle from behind but it’s ok otherwise. The evo glitches and menu problems are horrendous though.
I legit want to refund this game, it was a huge mistake from my end. According to Sony PlayStation, you can’t refund a game once you download it. How tf am I supposed to know if I want to keep the game unless I download it and play it? $100 down the fucking drain 😭💀.
If you add the number of games you had to play per week last year to get max rewards it is actually almost the same as this year: last year : 7 (rivals) + 10 (qualifikation) + 20 (champs) = 37 games this year: 15(rivals) + 5 (qualifikation) + 15 (champs) = 35 games. If you play some rivals on the weekend instead of champs you should be fine, even though you gotta say that getting wins in rivals can be very challenging in the upper divisions.
You’re right Nick, in fifa 22 and before I was able to COMPLETELY avoid using ANY cheese or ratty mechanics and just play pure football. I’d win most my games, reached Top 200, Elite/Rank1 Fut Champs. In FC24 and FC25, you genuinely can’t compete unless you L1 speed boost or use other attacking mechanics that are broken. I hope if they nerf L1 speed boost, they make the pace stat actually matter. It needs to be effective.
No idea, I like Squad Battles (don’t really like Division Rivals nor FUT Champions or anything online for that fact). It’s pretty boring, 12 matches I can do in one day and then I’m pretty much done for that week lmao.
TBF, my drop in experience of Rush had been I’d say minimum 90% positive. Sure you get the odd prick that thinks he’s Messi and loves to run into players endlessly….. (kinda like that one guy at school that never passed the fucking ball!!!) but overall most players have been pretty damn good.
Bro the gameplay is so chalked... I don't understand the loose balls... And like if you don't have a GK with deflector plus you're cooked, even normal deflector is not good enough... And the player switching in Co-op is atrocious
What are you on about the game is very much worth it if its what you are looking for, its extremely fun and despite what everyone says it is extremely well made. You all just fucking hate on EA and the game but you know its incredible and will never face competition.
Honestly, as an offline player, I think FC 25 is the best football game. I use sliders to get realistic speed when playing Master League, and the game looks like peak football. I know that it has a lot of issues, but honestly it is just a video game, just enjoy the little time you have to play video games. If you are an adult, then you don't really have the luxury to spend your gaming time complaining and not feeling good, you probably have 1 hour to play, just enjoy it and relax).
I've been playing since the '90s, and after years of experience, I took almost seven years off before returning this season. To my disappointment, the same issues that drove me away in 2018 are still here. EA should be ashamed of how far the product has fallen. Every time I try to play, I get matched with the same old FIVE-STAR TEAMS (MADRID, MADRID, MADRID, AND SOMETIMES CITY. Back in the day, you could find matches with lower-level teams, which required real skill and strategy. And don't even get me started on the never-ending menus-just trying to get anything done is a chore.
Pros: Good pack animation, Better rewards, 12sb games, rush is amazing, better evo’s, 15 champions games, better custom tactics, clubs has been much improved Cons: Gameplay different in every match, 15 rivals wins is a joke, still aweful draft rewards, stiff menus (better recently) Imo its actually a solid game, all the cons can definatley be improved
The first 2 days of ultimate edition I already wanted to jump from a cliff. Yes the rewards are better BUT it aint worth the pain that you need to go through.
To get the best rewards EA have basically said you need to be either:
1. Unemployed.
2. Be a content creator.
3. Be a child so you don't have to worry about the time you have.
Facts!
Or just get the game 4 months from now when its cheaper and you keep getting op players from sbc, that's what I did with 24
And all the content creators aren’t thinking about that. They all say that the changes are good, even Nick. I play SB because I’ve a baby boy, who can wake up every moment so I can pause the game. So shit that they reduced that. I haven’t touched rivals yet this year.
And it’s sad that the evo upgrade isn’t working anymore.
@@maldust7438 The only problem I can see with that is that all the people who have common sense would have abandoned the game by then so you're left with only the sweats.
4. Have fun on pro clubs and quit the brainless play to upgrade to play mindless FUT loop..
If they patch speed boost they will need to fix pace in general it’s getting ridiculous how you can’t outrun defenders even with 90+ pace compared to 70 pace John stones
If they do fix the pace, they also have to correct it across all players not for balencing but rather to how fast they are irl
It’s worse than that, my 50 pace mourtada fall catches up with everyone’s players half the time😂
So you want them to nerf the speed boost that helps you get past the defenders that you are complaining about 😂
@@erobbiep4778 I have de ligt in my Bayern past and present and with like 60 odd pace he feels insane
@@FutSheriff that’s not why the speed boost needs a fix you can definitely defend speed boost just move your defender back and they’ll speed boost into the defender but here’s the problem I tackle the ball but the attacker still has it stuck to there feet what am I supposed to do there in that situation I hate mechanics that are just rng and random no way to learn from a mistake it’s just oh well he got lucky with the ball fucking sticking to his feet what was the point of even defending it
I genuinely already want to quit. The gameplay is atrocious. I want to play a football game, not ping pong
Bro facts
The bounces are crazy and unpredictable
Then stop playing then what’s stopping you
Try efootball
i quit already game is ahh
The following kills the enjoyment
1) kick off glitch
2) 5 back defensive AI
3) pressure tactics during inconsistent gameplay
4) "realistic passing"
5) inconsistent shooting
6) speed boost
7) Corners. My smallest players defending the CBs is a joke. Having to drag my CB over every corner and even then getting dunked on is a joke.
8) Sprint-Bug where sometimes the players run in slowmotion when the ball is free
8) button input delay
9) teammates don’t make runs
10) Rebound Goals
11) the game is based on FOMO.
12) rng rules rather than physics
13) nonsense skill moves like the L1 heel to heel and step overs that give a speed boost.
14) everyone having the same boring teams with rodrygo, diaz and griezmann
15) soundtrack
i play every mode in this game, pro clubs the most, then career mode, then ultimate team. and oh boy its a sliding scale of enjoyment. Pro clubs is like peak fun, most fun I have gaming, career mode is cool, and i like it a lot. Ultimate team is an unbridled cancer that i can't handle but am slightly addicted to.

@@trystandavies2469am I supposed to play granny??? How do you think one practices ??
The problem is there’s a crowd of people who believe it’s a good game… it’s simply not. The focus on realism is what’s ruining the game as a whole. EA needs to return to the roots with their terrible gameplay and fix it. I got 10-5 in WL this week in division 1 but my god. We have static passing, terrible dribbling… terrible rebounds, being forced to use green-timed trivelas, and green timed finesses is ass. Also 45 points for advanced rewards in rivals is senseless, we have lives outside of this video game. The whole gameplay experience is just a deterrent from continuing to play. The only good mode is Rush but playing with randoms is like playing with ppl without brain cells. Also it’s just going to be a neglected game mode after a few months. It’s bizarre man
So you think the gameplay shoud feel more arcady like previous years or what. I think the static passing is good as it encourages you to actually use a bit of skill to pass instead of just spamming the pass button and hoping it would always go in the right direction. There should always be difference between a card with higher passing stats and lower passing stats for e.g. Jorginho has great passing and terrible pace but with arcady gameplay, i don't think he'll be useable at all. With arcade style gameplay, the most important thing is pace which in my honest opinion is not fun to play. I could actually play with slower centre backs in this game unlike in previous versions. I also think that attacking should be more difficult than defending and when you're attacking: Your tactics, shooting, passing, pressing, dribbling(I'm talking about realistic driibling like you see in real matches) and your positioning should matter instead of the op mechanics like cutbacks, stepovers, finesseshots, powershots, Trivelas, speed boosts, etc.
@@talhabilal7630 Go outside and play football if you want to actually play football maybe? This is a video game mate
@@BryanHanrahan-i8u So you're saying that it's ok to have all those op mechanics in the game, if so my opinion differs from you. It's a football simulator mate which means it will try to replicate how actual football is being played.
@@talhabilal7630yes but a game is to enjoy, not to play real football, dribbling and skilling at least creates a skillgap instead of players dueling and falling over each other everytime, the realism kills the enjoyment of the game
Remember when left stick dribbling was a thing? Remember when you didn’t have 4 different button combinations that all do a different type of dribbling? Remember when your players dribbling stat, WAS HOW GOOD THEIR DRIBBLING WAS?
That’s my biggest problem with recent FIFA’s. We all used to love jumping on fifa, versing a mate and breaking their ankles. You can’t do this in any of the new ones. It’s slow, boring, build up, build up, build up, pass back to my CB, pass to my GK, pass to my CB. ITS A FUCKING NIGHTMARE.
LEFT STICK DRIBBLING WAS MY BIGGEST THING IN FIFA NOW ITS BEEN TAKEN AWAY FROM US ERH
@@ayazarshad-gb7wb FIFA died to me when the removed it after like 2020. I played from 09-15, then had a break until fifa 2021. I was so disappointed when I returned. FIFA 23 was actually decent and pretty fast flowing IMO. But and EAFC titles have been ATROCIOUS. They’ve made it so people who don’t have the brain capacity to play fast can actually compete now. So they nerfed all speed in the game, so it’s literally a passing simulator. In my opinion, the defensive AI isn’t even the problem. ITS THE ATTACKING. The defensive AI seems so overpowered in recent years due to your players just STANDING and guarding grass.
Play the last gen version of the game. Stuck with it for years it’s 10x better, it’s an actual video game not a chess simulator like the new gen version
I didn’t buy EAFC 25. I gave up with these money grabbers.
Same

Everyone needs to stop acting like they can’t fix the gameplay… they can. All they need to do is remove DDA. DDA causes 99% of the problems, anyone who is half decent at the game can feel their team affected by it so I know these top creators can feel it. These creators need to speak up about it more this would actually be a good game without it. Losing 2, 3, and 4 goal leads in the second half to a terrible opponent because the game is nerfing my team into the ground is unacceptable.
45th 60th and 80th and 90th min you can always expect some DDA within those minutes
Yeah but none of them will say anything about this. DDA removal would solve the vast majority of the series' issues.
@@dripdrop599645th minute, 90th minute momentum is DISGUSTING. Also, if you’re up specifically 3-0 in the 60th minute, get ready for your team to be in mud for the last 30. It’s a genuine joke
It’s even worse when you know your opponent is about to score and you can’t do anything about it because of that
Nah they rather gaslight us... we even have some content creators that deny the existence of dda and call us stupid for believing in it... those creators only believe in "inconsistent gameplay" like it's 2 separate things.
I got 4 DC’s in squad battles this past week… like how does that work it’s a single player mode 😂

skill issue
@@riddim.I’ve not played since fifa 19 and I can definitively say it’s not just a skill issue, for some yes, but the games been fundamentally f*cked for like 6 years and even before that when fifa was still ‘good’ 😂
A really good advice this year, is to set your ground passes atleast to semi, as with assisted this year, passes will not always lock on to reciever with assisted on, same apply to every type of passes ingame, but it depends whats confortable for you, how many you want on semi, but groundpasses on semi is a must this year, also square passes should be set to semi, as with that setting you can double press and get a hip highted cross, that is very overpowered inside the box, especially if you have players with acrobatic 😇

Dagnal is one of the best new fifa creators ive found, and I found him in a year I wasnt even playing ( last yr) . Definitely deserves to get big so we can have atleast 3 people with a brain in this community as creators ! :P (ItalianStallion is the 4th but he dissapears way too quick every year :P ) The idea that fifa 15-17 wasnt sweaty is insanity :P DKT with Reus as a reward. Still have nightmares from those final games, think i failed to get him and i was a div 1 player for years before and after LOL
last year was kinda it for me on ultimate team, i spent most of last game playing clubs and career mode from novemeber to the release of fc25, i tried to get back into ut because i loved it in 20,21,22 and was an elite division player back then. i've played atleast 20 games of rivals and am nearly division 4 and haven't lost a game but i get zero enjoyment out of the wins because there is no way to score other than green timed headers. i am a very consisitant at green timing shots well i was in fc24 now i struggle to even green time a couple times a game other than corners. i play on playstation with wired connection and i never get good gameplay i even packed son from my rivals rewards but i can't get any enjoyment out of the card because the gameplay is just so unenjoyable. the game over the last year has gone in a more realistic direction but its done nothing but make the gameplay slower/way more unresponsive and delayed.i can't even go into a game anymore being confident i'm gonna be better than someone because im worried the gameplay could be so slow you never know what you're going to get. the game 3 years ago was not realistic one bit with how many skills u could do but now i look back at that and think those games actually took skill. these new games take zero skill other than braking mechanics because u can't win any other way and its not fun or enjoyable playing one bit the first day i got the game i was trying to refund it on my ps but thats not possible and now im stuck with a game that i only play clubs or rush which is my other point. other than rush even clubs and career mode gameplay is becoming unenjoyable and is making no one want to play it. games in a really bad state at the moment but we have to come to terms that it'll never be fixed and we are just getting older. i want to enjoy all of fc because im a huge football fan and watch games all the time but this game is not and will never be a football game when its not balanced.
First year not playing Pifa. Feels great not to be stressed by a game. Im only here to see if the game has improved.
Ladies and gentlemen I figured it out the reason why ea increased the amount of wins needed for rival rewards it's because they know some people won't have time to sit and get 15 wins and what happens when you don't get rewards for some time you eventually buy fc points to buy store packs to compensate for not getting rewards is it genius yes ,ethical you tell so yeah the game is literally a chore that will eventually drive you to the store good luck guys and have a wonderful day

Playing as a casual this year. The gameplay is great at times, imo the most fun I've had since 17. There are big issues ofc, but I feel like I can actually break down 5 backs and play out of a high press. I think gameplay wise we are getting better
No idea if you're gonna see this - I hope you do - but one thing I can't believe I HAVEN'T seen creators discuss is the new rewards and how they've been specifically designed to make casuals rely on store packs for good pulls
Yes they've juiced rewards for high end player rewards, but in A) making WL less accessible, and more importantly for the casuals, making Squad Battles more accessible this has meant that getting good pulls for casuals is now only really possible by buying store packs with guarantees
Other years if you played your 30 SB games on World Class you were pretty much guaranteed Rank 1. This year nowhere near as the 12/14 games makes it more palatable for better players sweating out Ultimate level games
This imo needs to be called out - it's the most blatant cash grab and because creators are more often than not higher level players it's totally passed them by.
Anyway rant over.
So? Good players and people who play the game more often should obviously get better rewards. Why would i try my best to get to Div 1 if the Div 5 people get similar rewards?
@@RanielEber no one is saying better players shouldn't get better rewards. What I'm saying is you shouldn't be designing the rewards in a specific way to make kids spend money on casino store packs.

Thats what I've been saying. Thank you.
Just imagine if they worked with the community. They could take a year of building a game with the us.. Every patch could be content from passing to skills or shot types etc.. Where the community has input on how to change it and fine tune it to perfection at the end of the year you'd have a fully functioning game built from the base up

Disrespect on squadbattles is real. Rewards are insane. 1st Week SB gave me Messi IF and the base for my trading incomes+team building.
Same I got Courtois in the first week. Juiced reward
Why is nobody talking about the rebounds? Genuinely laughable how many rebounds result in me scoring or conceding a goal... This is supposed to be football simulator not ping pong
I think 10 wins would have been a good amount for the level 2 rewards, 5-15 is a crazy jump in a week
I’m not against having to get more points for better rewards as you have 7 days to reach it so it’s easy to spread the games across the week. However I do feel 45 is too much, especiallly with Rush and friendlies objectives. As someone who has a full time job it’s a struggle now to keep up
Literally all they have to do is reduce the amount of points needed for the reward upgrade
After grind all in eafc24.. in first week of eafc25 i give up.. im having a blast trying to get platinum in red dead 2.. what a amazing game
AA9 is breaking down defences with ease... little dink over the top to Thuram and he's in every time
Why is no one talking about Co-op? It's horrendous this year. Keeps getting kicked out of games in rivals all the time. The match starts playing, then all of a sudden - kicked from the game + a loss. Completely random when it happens or not. But if you play 4 games, I guarantee it happens at least once.
Here is a fun fact for everyone. On steam (it’s the only place you can see the player count, but it’s probably the same for console aswell) there are 30K LESS average players compared to last year. Wonder what October is going to be.

FC 25 is the worst Football game ever made we need big content creators to speak up about this shit man since the Ignite engine was taken away last seen in FIFA 16 the game has slowed right down and become soo boring, back when Clubs was amazing.
As for Ai defending I think tactics and Ai should be all taken away then its about who is better than who and non of this double pressing OP bs enough of Ai winning games for people.
You can literally control the oppositions GK and bring them out the net and score a goal its game breaking EA need to seriously sack the people that worked on this game seriously.
Good review. The guy sounds like a more calm version of Inception
The reward system is better only if you're a sweat that lives in this game. The changes to Rivals, Champs and especially Squad Battles has made this game completely pointless for casual players. If you can't get top division rewards, it's buy packs or get fuck all for fodder, let alone good cards.
I wanted to play One Nation friendlies for the packs, to me didn’t look like friendlies, i met just rats and the sweatest people ever, just like fut champs.
Managed to complete those games in a couple of hours. I quit the game as soon as I saw a French team which is the majority but eventually you'll find people with Brazil, England, Germany or Spain and then you have a fun game.
Just get better then? It’s “ultimate team” for a reason
Oh yeah boo hoo it's EAs fault that there are people who are better than you at the game. If you can't handle online competition, stick to Squad Battles or Career Mode, or play some Casual stuff like Clubs.
@@RanielEber litterly what i said

I feel like fifa isn’t built to last. For me it feels more like they want you to buy the new fifa, get hooked for a maximum of 2 months, get frustrated with the game, leave, then join after a few months like it’s a toxic ex and spend some points. The game isn’t built around fun, but pure money making. Of course we knew this since the birth of ultimate team but I just think it’s gnarly what is happening. I see it with myself and my friends that as soon as we get back on the ‘fifa grind’ we all get more annoyed in our daily lives, yes it’s a game but it can effect you so bad. Not only the community but also the game is grounded in toxicity and I find that very harmful.
EA have even messed up with the Evo cap. For e.g. I cannot evolve my Noni Madueke or Pedro Neto in the Cannon evo because of their speeds both being above the cap of 89. The cap would have allowed this, but they've now gotten rid of the cap and gone back to the old evo system meaning i niss out cos of 1 or 2 stats

Funny how people think the new features in EAFC is something new. Rush is a copy and paste of Madden squads, the season pass was brought to Madden a few years ago, the play styles are a copy and paste of Madden player abilities, the constant packs and promos is something they have been doing in Madden for years. If you want to know what is coming to EAFC in the next few years then check out Madden ultimate team.
The new features in EAFC are indeed new for EA FC, why would i care if they used something similar in MADDEN? I dont care for Madden
You might actually be the dumbest person in the comment section
Yeah but the thing is no one cares about madden
They gotta nerf both speed boost and defensive AI too. Everyone is a 5 back rat at this point and dont do anything, but spam speed boost and kick off glitches. At this point this isnt even a video game, but some kind of coin flip whether the script let you actually pass around and win or let your "amazing" opponent win with pushing 3 buttons and 9 players in the net.
The issue is the players lmao no matter what systems are in place this toxic community will always rat, dont blame ea for this just enjoy the offline modes
Speed boost glitch should be regular sprint boost. Game would be elite
This game is pure cancer
I totally feel you on the gameplay issues, it’s like they went back in time with some of these mechanics! 😅 And don’t even get me started on the kick-off glitch, it’s ruining the vibe for so many players. Maybe they should take a page from older games and bring back smoother controls? Just a thought! 🚀
If they nerf the sprint boost and trivella, they need to nerf 5atb to the ground. Make the gameplay faster and more consistent, make the AI defending worse so little Timmy just can’t run around with his CM/CDM and just wait for the AI to get the ball for him.
Millions of people play squad battles because the server connections suck so fuckin bad that they cant really play online.

I played on a Monday at 3pm/4 just to test the gameplay out, I would nornally never play at that time I just had to check. The gameplay I witnessed was honestly a different game altogether, everything felt so responsive and it was the first time I can fully say I enjoyed playing this years edition. But, it is a disgrace that we pay 90 quid and have to choose a time when to play it, its a faulty product. This game will never be good until their server overload issue is fixed, I have had it for multiple years consistently but this year its somehow managed to become even slower and sluggish all whilst on 12ms
I quit yesterday. Thankfully, never actually paid and only had play pro for a month . Genuinely, if people enjoy the game, then fair enough. But I was somewhat fine till Friday. Just in div 3, fairly even split of wins and losses. Then had to scrape 6 wins in Champs with HORRENDOUS input lag, worse than last year, BY FAR. Barely won 5 games since. Literally no tactic works, no formation, nothing. The miniscule amount of success/'fun' I was having vanished. There's just nothing left in fifa anymore. There's no actual skill in this game. Sure, you can consider second man press, intiating constant press, constant offside traps and allowing the ai to do all the defending for you a 'skill', but not for me. Even the fucking pros are using 5 backs and abuse every bullshit trick under the sun. You move even one defender manually, even in the right direction, the whole defence crumbles. Even if you tackle correctly, the ball ricochets 4 times and ends up back at their feet. Passing is the worst it has ever been. 90% of this game (and 24) is ai controlled, and all you have to do is sit back and bore your opponent to death so they over commit. It used to be about being able to beat your opponent through actually being able to defend yourself and punishing them. Now it's just all about being able to abuse the bullshit auto mechanics, even more so now compared to last year which was already an absolute shitshow. Back to the sidelines for me

Mate if you are div 3-4 and rank 3 in champs you are probably 5-10% top players thats not average at all
@@Boost400it was the average from like 19 tho if u got passed that stage In my eyes your elite player now it’s just a joke
I played career mode the past 5 fifas this is the first time i’m back on ult team because of the season pass and the packs been upgraded
Can't believe so many of y'all bought the game again.
Even the keeper movement is more OP can't believe it
Bruh it's actually insane how defensive the game on next gen is. Played 10 rivals games, scored 12 goals and conceded 8 with attacking tactics. Oldgen version offers sooooo much more space and less AI defending it's crazy most games have 3-4 goals in them. I feel for people that play that handball, 30 passes each attack, speedboosting version I never had less fun playing.
Isn't the defence not meant to be op
This game is basically 5 at the back, pass around penalty area until AI makes mistake and space opens up, speed boost simulator. I don't give a fuck if it's "realistic" or not, this game is not fun at all.
Tbf, when the servers are good (usually after 9pm in Italy) the game feels really good to me. I really enjoy the gameplay at night even when I’m loosing. You can combine and score some great goals without abusing the mechanics and stop easily the speed boost because the defenders are reacting properly when you don’t have input delay. In the day time the game feels heavy (the same problem for years already). Once you find the right balance with the tactics and understand how your players move, the game feels nice. Obviously, the game like the years before has many negative aspects (DDA, kick offs, bugs) but at least, in the right time you can enjoy some good football combinations which was not present in the past versions.
Having not bought this FC it truely is a breath of fresh air to see everyone fuming at EA while my mental health slowly improves each day
in my case I played since the PS gifted fifa 22 with the subscription, i played all the rest games until this 25, and this is the worst for me, even worst than fifa 24 with all the "errors" at least with the last game i enjoyed the gameplay in this FC25 is so hard to defend and attack because of the tactics and roles if i dont put the roles the players dont do anything and if you put the wrong one they do something your dont want em to do, also the GK are so bad most of the games are 3-3 and end with 7-7 or at the best 3-7, and i can garateed the SBC and the modes are so demanding you have to play a lot to get rewards even at squad battle is hard to get elite 1, i wont put any money to the game and will be the last one cuze i dont see any changes, the only fun thing is rush but is not a game mode that hook you to play a lot
i have not bout ea fc 25 this yr and man it feels good am geting shit done and u never notice it while playing but u genuinely feel lighter
I am not sure why people say EA is irresponsible and inconsistent. They are consistently making the game worse every year. It's like we are moving back in time.
Guys I have advice for you if you tired of FC25 just play one FC24 game and comeback tell me what your new rating for fc24 I swear its lot better now for me 😭😭😭💀
Just uninstalled, never wanted it to come to this but I just can’t keep putting myself through it I’m playing something that’s ruining my mood and yes it’s just a game but I’m going on to unwind at night and just getting wound up and all, not worth it I just switch to cod (prolly fuckin worse)
Tip if you play offline.
Set User and CPU gameplay sliders:
0 Sprint Speed
75 Acceleration
100 pass error
75 shot speed
25 shot error.
The lower sprint but boosted acceleration makes the players feel responsive but not burst away from opponents. The increased passing error enhances passing ability and a player with good passing is much more noticeable. The gameplay is a bit stop start like a real game with lots of turnovers. So getting into a good position is rewarded with the boosted shooting.
Nah, idk bruh. That speed boost gotta go. It’s a mechanic abuse that’s also not even among different players even. I guess some defenders can nullify it but it’s ridiculous as a thing
PROMOS?!….. 😭😭😭😭 who the f cares?!!! there will be another promo next Tuesday representing the ancient Chinese Han dynasty…. WHAT?! exactly! literally nobody gives a fck about his clown S anymore! lol! 🤡
I’ve got mbappe robbie Keane putellas all the best players way more to add, I’ve always been a 16 win player got 11 last champs can’t win a game in division 3
They’re making the game noob friendly
With no left stick dribbling, green time shots not as effective, bounce backs are crazy I’ll stick to efootball
Second man press button function needs to be deleted all together , and the Ai should cover the spaces , they should replace it with block/ intercept function , this way there would actually be a skill gap in the game , instead of players spamming the tackle button and getting defensive speed boost to intercept and block , defending should be manual , covering the pitch should be the Ai , this way we would have an actual skill gap , and we would have a fun attacking game since players will make mistake and if they don’t control their players they won’t get the ball , but now the press works now , it’s so stupid and the interception are so stupid , I can’t play from the back I can’t run I can’t dribble because the jocky speed is insane , goal keeper rush and keeper movement in general is so so so fast , if they patched the attacker speed boost then all speed boosts should be patched to make the game play fair ,
Each day that pass I am happier that I am not playing EAFC25 😂
22:02 - Agreed...
Sorry Nick, but I don't agree with your take. Yes, rewards are good if you're above average player who puts tons of time into meta and learning what is OP (speed boost this year is insane), but we are in what? 2nd week of game lifecycle and there are already SBCs requiring 87 and 88 rated squads.
Not to mention they added 250k pack to the store with guaranteed Base Icon. Of course they are aiming this game at whales who will spend money. It's disgusting strategy.
Those packs are also aimed at people who don't have time to play 24/7, who have families and are casuals.
EA is like: hey, look, here is how you can improve your team, give us money.
The inconsistent gameplay is still here. EA still doesn't force you to play on no assists, etc. Game basically plays for you on assists (you just mash buttons) and don't get me started on how OP AI defending is. 5 defenders at the back formations are back and stronger than ever.
I do enjoy this game, but it has flaws.
I only really play clubs and manager and the pass hasn’t made me go on ultimate team. It doesn’t really give you anything useful just a few cosmetics. But then again what can they give us.
So happy I work all day n sleep all night, free of FC drama. If U wanna tip.... Its a free game in April every year
I do think everyone will have different experience but the amount of rebound goals(from tackles and goalies) I concede is painful.
That is the number 1 thing I absolutely hate, I swear to god, once your keeper dives once to make a single save it will take them 8 seconds until they get back up
17:15 Players not making certain runs have been in the game for quite a while, it's not because of Player Role. It is there because the "community" complained how FIFA was a pressing X button simulator, that passing was too arcadey. Hence EA made those runs unavailable.
And since EA think skill gap for e-sport means there should be an extra button press for every situation/context, EA wants you to utilize Creative Runs or press L1 for those obvious runs. As much as EA likes to deny that there's no scripting in the game, that is an obvious script that stops player runs when certain criterias/parameters met in the game. Like being level with the ball carrier on the Y-axis of the field in the game or something like that.
The damn hackers and dashboarders on PC handing me losses in the 90th minute when I’m up 2-0… The hackers need to be dealt with!!!
It’s so early in the cycle and this is already a damn issue. I’ve played 20+ extra games with nothing to show for it cause of these exploits. How the hell am I supposed to get 45 points with this crap inbetween playing console players!
Yo Nick
I hope this message finds you well. I am currently working on my research paper, which focuses on analyzing the career modes in EA FC 24 as part of my study on video game narratives and gameplay dynamics.
I would love to hear your opinions about the game, particularly regarding the career modes. Your insights would be incredibly valuable to my research.
Survey:
1. How would you describe your overall experience with EA FC (formerly FIFA) games?
2. Which game modes do you find most engaging in EA FC 24 and why?
3. Can you compare EA FC 24 to other sports or narrative-driven games? In what ways does it succeed or fall short?
4. What do you think contributes to EA FC 24's status as the leading football simulation game?
5. How satisfied are you with the career mode (both player and manager)? In your opinion, does it effectively balance gameplay and storytelling?
6. If you could improve one aspect of the career mode to make it more immersive or narrative-driven, what would it be?
7. What features of EA FC 24 do you think enhance player engagement and immersion?
8. What aspects of EA FC 24 break immersion or limit the narrative experience for you?
9. Do you believe future EA FC titles will improve in terms of narrative elements and player immersion? What changes would you like to see?
In general I’ve enjoyed the gameplay so far. I quit 23 and 24 really early and this has been a bit of fresh air. Obviously there are still problems with rebounds and attackers being able to tackle from behind but it’s ok otherwise. The evo glitches and menu problems are horrendous though.
6mins in and you can see pick tweaking wanting to pause and talk
I legit want to refund this game, it was a huge mistake from my end. According to Sony PlayStation, you can’t refund a game once you download it. How tf am I supposed to know if I want to keep the game unless I download it and play it? $100 down the fucking drain 😭💀.
All ea do is add things to try and mask the actual terrible gameplay. Ea are just full of deception.
It’s a horrible game, rivals unplayable. Rush is the only redeeming mode
If you add the number of games you had to play per week last year to get max rewards it is actually almost the same as this year: last year : 7 (rivals) + 10 (qualifikation) + 20 (champs) = 37 games
this year: 15(rivals) + 5 (qualifikation) + 15 (champs) = 35 games. If you play some rivals on the weekend instead of champs you should be fine, even though you gotta say that getting wins in rivals can be very challenging in the upper divisions.
You’re right Nick, in fifa 22 and before I was able to COMPLETELY avoid using ANY cheese or ratty mechanics and just play pure football.
I’d win most my games, reached Top 200, Elite/Rank1 Fut Champs.
In FC24 and FC25, you genuinely can’t compete unless you L1 speed boost or use other attacking mechanics that are broken. I hope if they nerf L1 speed boost, they make the pace stat actually matter. It needs to be effective.
The pace stat does matter how it is currently. If it doesn't matter, try using a slow team with slow centre backs etc.
Not hating
It’s hands down the worst football game to date.
No idea, I like Squad Battles (don’t really like Division Rivals nor FUT Champions or anything online for that fact). It’s pretty boring, 12 matches I can do in one day and then I’m pretty much done for that week lmao.
TBF, my drop in experience of Rush had been I’d say minimum 90% positive. Sure you get the odd prick that thinks he’s Messi and loves to run into players endlessly….. (kinda like that one guy at school that never passed the fucking ball!!!) but overall most players have been pretty damn good.
Bro the gameplay is so chalked... I don't understand the loose balls... And like if you don't have a GK with deflector plus you're cooked, even normal deflector is not good enough... And the player switching in Co-op is atrocious
The curve pass is gone. Opponent can intercept pass easily. Fc25 is boring
It’s not worth it guys. If you want to get it then I recommend waiting until it’s on offer. Bcs there is nothing going on right now🙏🔥💯😭💀
What are you on about the game is very much worth it if its what you are looking for, its extremely fun and despite what everyone says it is extremely well made. You all just fucking hate on EA and the game but you know its incredible and will never face competition.
Honestly, as an offline player, I think FC 25 is the best football game. I use sliders to get realistic speed when playing Master League, and the game looks like peak football. I know that it has a lot of issues, but honestly it is just a video game, just enjoy the little time you have to play video games. If you are an adult, then you don't really have the luxury to spend your gaming time complaining and not feeling good, you probably have 1 hour to play, just enjoy it and relax).
I've been playing since the '90s, and after years of experience, I took almost seven years off before returning this season. To my disappointment, the same issues that drove me away in 2018 are still here. EA should be ashamed of how far the product has fallen. Every time I try to play, I get matched with the same old FIVE-STAR TEAMS (MADRID, MADRID, MADRID, AND SOMETIMES CITY. Back in the day, you could find matches with lower-level teams, which required real skill and strategy. And don't even get me started on the never-ending menus-just trying to get anything done is a chore.
Such big facts about the attacking Ai. My false 9 is open and should move forward but then just stands there.
Pros: Good pack animation, Better rewards, 12sb games, rush is amazing, better evo’s, 15 champions games, better custom tactics, clubs has been much improved
Cons: Gameplay different in every match, 15 rivals wins is a joke, still aweful draft rewards, stiff menus (better recently)
Imo its actually a solid game, all the cons can definatley be improved
Why are we surprised? Did we not see EA's incredible decline from FIFA 18 onwards?
The first 2 days of ultimate edition I already wanted to jump from a cliff. Yes the rewards are better BUT it aint worth the pain that you need to go through.
