made my blood boil when chat talked about precision shooting, NO one uses that in high divisions. They actually watched you play against 5 back drop back and had the audacity to criticize your finishing like they wouldnt be equally as annoyed if they were in your shoes
I wouldn’t have. That guy was so focused on crowding the box on defense and with his 5 back that the edge of the box and the area 1-3 yards from the edge were completely wide open for a Finesse Shot. Whether they’re broken or not, this is the kind of match you use them on. That guy would’ve raged quit so fast…
@ademirbredajunior you use it if you want you donut. We shouldn't have to change a setting to make the finishing not be tragic. Clown behavior not surprised half the player base who pays to play doesn't get it. Cause you cheats anyways.
The player base is mainly to blame I. My idea. It’s not fun for new and casual players. To compensate the company makes it’s easier for people to learn a few offensive mechanics and let the 5 back ai play defense for them. People quitting at level scores and smurfing drives out potential new players.
How many times you seen a player hit the post at a 45 degree angle and it comes right back to him for a goal IRL. But in this game it happens a lot for some reason
@@angeldelgado8188It's never EA"s fault with you lot. This game it is completely viable to shoot medium power straight at the keeper from 25 yards and they will spill the ball out to the attackers.
mate you don't want the game to me more realistic. wanting that means you want the possibility of the wind carrying a goal kick into your net or the ball richoceting into a beach ball thrown by a fan into your net. if the game were that realistic those goals would be possible. we just need consistent gameplay@@robfut9954
Honestly Nick, I've never echoed a sentiment more than what you said in this video, this game is a mess completely, I sometimes wonder why I do this to myself lmao
you do it to yourself, well we do it because we like football ⚽️. but then we go against these rats and stupid mechanics that makes it so unbearable. i just wanna play this game bc i love footy. i feel like half of the people who play 5 in the back just look for the meta every year and just abuse it. its not fun, idk how they have fun doing it seriously.
I went through the pain for too long, destroying controllers and everything, FIFA has a negative impact on your mental health and life. That’s why I stopped playing after 22. I still watch Nick and Boras and check content on Futbin, but instead of playing I just do something else. Hit the gym be active anything is probably better than that game
I also wonder why i do this to myself, but then i remember i love football so i keep giving it a try. But always end up mad in champs like a 10 year old hahah
No wonder they banned 5 in the back in pro tournaments, that’s way too toxic. This happened to me today in the final draft match, the only way to beat these guys is to make sure you don’t go 1-0 down and score first so they have to push up.
@monstaxwolf6823 it's just one of those things, defensive ai is op and attacking ai is run into a defender and literally tuck in behind the defender so you cant pass to them. So having 5 back and literally just let the ai do it for you is broken and toxic because youre not even playing the game at that point 🤷♂️ I don't blame people that use it because they suck at the game and need the help but it's the worst thing to play against
I started playing fifa a couple of years ago and I’ll tell you right now, I have never seen anything like this ever in video game history. Buying content creators to cover their shit game, bad gameplay, bad communication, no creative aspect when it comes to creating new innovative gameplay ideas. It mind boggles me that Nick has only been one of the very few content creators that has spoke out about this game and that’s something that I respect. I’ve never seen such horrendous community, such a horrendous game and such a horrendous company all in one. It’s insane.
For sure. They did the same with Madden. Last year I was wrongfully coin wiped 15+ million coins after completing a super difficult John Elway set when it released. Their anti cheat detection saw such a huge coin transaction and flagged it as some sort of illegal coin buying transaction. I appealed it 3 times and had recorded the entire process of how I eventually finished the card set but they wouldn’t take it in as review evidence. They just autodeny any appeals. I eventually had contacted support via live chat and phone calls where they actually viewed all of my videos and upon review, told me I was wrongfully coin wiped and apologized. They’d then send it to the appeals team and I’d get an email 5 minutes later saying my 30+ min of video evidence was reviewed and the wipe was upheld. I was beyond furious and upset with how much time it took to earn everything only to lose it all. I was friends with a few content creators that were friends with the big content creators who do promos and whatnot. So one night on Twitter, I asked if they could help in any way; nothing long, and one of them (a massive UA-cam content creator) snapped at me quoting my post with why the hell would he help me after the terrible things I’ve said about him and to him plus so much more. I was beyond confused. Eventually I found out that a previous post of mine about EA needing to address the concerns of the community more had some random kid f bomb the crap out of that content creator and he had tagged him. So he must’ve mistaken me for that kid. Within 30 minutes, 90% of the top 12 Madden content creators (last year’s game) had blocked me on Twitter and restricted my access to their discords with my account. I was so pissed. I’m glad you commended him for calling out EA. This experience made me realize just how much of a clique the giant content creators are for games like this and how much control they have over the perception of the game and the beliefs the fan base has. It’s like a hive mind. Nothing will truly change until EA losses tons of money or all content creators come together to make them fix and improve their games. Neither will happen but yep. WOW I text out way too much lmaoooo. TLDR: EA sucks. No other true options for playing football, soccer, etc…games so we’re herded like cattle into playing the same games rebranded with a new number on the title every year. MLB the Show is the only game where the company, devs, and customer support truly care about the fans and actually make massive improvements to gameplay and experience. Hope you have a good year man!
i mean there are quite a few of them. probably more "im good at this game but hate it content creator" for fifa than any other game i've seen.. but they don't do pack openings all day so nobody really watches them, so they don't get recommended
the skill gap being non-existent is actually so wild man. I dont understand how they keep catering to casuals and allow you to do less and less in order to win. This game is one of the worst to ever release. It is being carried by their ridiculous store packs. Wins and Losses genuinely have no parameter on skill anymore. Winning being 70% luck in a game that is mainly made up of competitive modes is sad and tragic. And whats even more tragic, is that I love the sport and emulating it so much and the card collecting and menu grind so much, I still put myself through torture everyday and play.
AMEN. This is crazy and sad bro it is insane. I am just reading comments of others who feel the same about this shit game and it actually feels soothing. Every game feel so pre determined, you can literally read the script going on in the game this year it is I N S A N E. I have no words. For example: 2x flame in rivals: you’re going to get a 50/50 game where even being 3-0 up doesnt mean you have won the game. It can go any way, and most of the time it ends up 3-3 and 3-4. Same goes for promotion game. Also: 2-0 up at half time: second half your opponent is 1000% going to score the 2-1 and 80% chance of conceding the 2-2. ALWAYS. A lot of bad touches/passes means: your going to concede within a few minutes. I know this script so fucking well this year it is CRA-ZY. Lets pray for UFL to be great or EA to go bankrupt
@@mg756 I dont play fiifa anymore i quit long ago and i feel so bad for a lot of the guys here :(. It's so unfair i hope everything gets better in everyones lives
How’s this catering to casuals on the opposite it only goes towards the losers and morons that spend money on the game and only thing they know what to do is play fifa.
@@mg756 bro that 2-0 thing drives me nuts, every time i lead 2-0 i know what's coming next and 90% it that BS that you just described. I had that yesterday in WL and closed that game after, killed completely my winning streak and mood. We need to do something as a community because EA won't change it, the future is not bright with this game.
Never seen such a group of negative weirdos as I have with fifa. No other game harbors live streams filled with so much immaturity and sadness. It’s hard to read half the chat in nicks streams.
Bro FR FR! There’s not a single other game out there that acts like this, I would blame it on a region like EU folks but twitch is worldwide. I think EA has just bred a super toxic community and it just keeps in breeding getting weirder and weirder. Cooked!
Completely agree. Somehow all other games I have played have not made me as mad as this game. It actually pisses me off cuz I just wanna play a good football game but EA cant provide one 😭
Wtf are you talking about dude? What’s wrong with Nick’s chat? I have fun every time I’m in his stream. Are you actually in there regularly? Compared to the rest of the bitches in this community that hate everyone, “Chat” is the best. Screw u. Pick 4 Life.
All insecure, immature, egos etc. The reason why the fifa community is this toxic, is purely because of DDA, scripting, pay to win factor etc. People THINK they are better then they actually are in reality. Without DDA/Scripting and all that bs, people will understand their skill level. I consistently get 16 wins in WL every year, but this year, man every game I have to sweat my ass off, even against bad players. Mainly because of the pay to win factor and because of the fact how insane scripting and DDA is this year. This is the worst year of FIFA ever, by far.
Big respect for you nick because you're one of the real ones out here that is telling facts about this horrible game.. This is literally the worst fifa for me, my last fifa that i've properly played was fifa 20 and it's so frustrating to play fifa again after all these years.. Keep up the good work brother
It definitely feels peaceful NOT playing fifa. I play calmly, try to make runs and good shot but nothing and the opponent scores the most rigged shot. And in penalties my goalie delays before diving letting my rival score
had my first pen shootout today in champs and i lost because my keeper dived so late even though i held right the whole time and he hit it so soft and not in the corner this game SUCKS
My man had 7 defensive players and only ever touched his DM’s, actually mind blown by what I’ve just witnessed, I’d have straight up turned it off after that game.
@@Coyg04-69 Im not really complaining, as i said i cant imagine having fun like that, thats why im talking about it. And i also dont think „getting better“ has something to do with it either. If your opponent constantly has 7 Players in the box as soon as you get close to it, its literally almost impossible to attack properly. Especially with the way AI defenders work this year.
I entirely agree with Nick on his rant. I started playing fifa again from fifa 20 onward and from fifa 20-23 it was actually half-decent gameplay, you could make attacking runs, you could play in 100 different ways you could shoot from different places and you didn’t have 2 players that made the difference and 9 times out of 10 the better player would win. In EA fc 24… the finishing sucks, the gameplay is horrid, i’ll admit, i’m not the greatest at the game, in 23 I would get 14-16 wins consistently but in this fifa I don’t think i’ve ever got even 10. The highest i’ve gotten is 9-11, again, although i’m not the best player, I know when I come against a worse player that I should beat and yet they win because of the ball going through defenders or the goalkeeper messes up or my players forget how to control the ball, they miss sitters and then my opponent scores the most random and unintelligent goal ever seen. The pay to win on this game is 1000% real, I will come up against Mbappe, Eusebio, Dalglish, Gullit, VVD, Blanc and you just can’t do anything. I’m proud that I at least try and am not a scummy loser than quits at 1-1 or 0-0 and still gives a few free wins away at the end of a weekend league. Lastly, in previous fifa’s i’d be at school and look at the content on my phone and be relatively excited to get back home and play weekend league or do the icon pack or do player picks and after a weekend, i wouldn’t feel like 100% utter crap but now, I check futbin, basically log in daily and maybe complete an SBC or two and then i’m back off and in happier. When I go home for a few days I don’t look forward to playing fifa, it’s more of like a pull that you have to or that it’s one of the only things to do. Only good/toxic and meta-abusing players are left in this game which is why I think the majority of the players are leaving. Every year EA makes the game that much more unplayable.
Hot take, it’s not the bad players using these mechanics… it’s the guys who no life this game and have pack addictions that abuse the broken components. As a casual, I can confidently say that I don’t face this kind of behavior in the lower divisions. The problem isn’t that there is no skill gap, it’s that the guys who are on the fringe of being very good can’t keep up to those who are actually very good, and therefore resort to manipulating whatever they can to win.
Around the 4:00 mark is exactly why you need players with finesss+ or have players on their strong side to trivela. Lots of opportunities there to hit them. The drop back AI is just way to crazy this year.
I went 1-7 in champs today, the worst ever since champs started, and I actually enjoyed having a last second client ask on Friday afternoon. That’s bad
Best advice i can give you mate is have 4 different formations bro ud be surprised how much the game gets easier when u use some counter formations to what they’re using . the players sometimes LITERALLY DO NOT MATTER
My worst record today and the sad thing is every loss I got was either because of slow gameplay or nonexistent attacking ai. How am I supposed to build a play when everyone is a damn pylon😂
@@sebandres92453 This time I agree with him though, gameplay is awful this weekend, i'm a 16-18 win player and I'm 6-4 this weekend league it's a joke.
@@sebandres92453 if youre a terrible player like you, ofcourse you should blame yourself. But this year, even terrible players can beat a pro player. The skill gap this year has never been this small. All because of the bad gameplay, DDA, scripting and pay to win. Matches feel pre determined, its so weird. I can tell from the first few mins of the game if I am going to win or lose.
That was always gonna happen since they gave every new fullback the whiped pass + playstyle and nerfed finesse +. Playstyles are a good idea but the balancing is very poor. Before the patch everyone was ripping finesse shots from ridiculous angles and now we have this.
What's dumb for me is you cant have fun on a competitive game. Idgaf what game it is. A shooter, sports whatever tf it's not gonna be "fun". Fun is like party games, co op multiplayer games and single player games. Theres too many ppl in the world that literally wanna be pro gamers and emulate what they see on twitch or youtube. You will always be upset on a competitive game if u dont sit down and play the same game over and over to master the game.
that’s what i did in fut22, my first time playing UT, and i knew i was dogsht so losing never made me feel bad or angry at the game mechanics, and since then i’d say i’ve improved, not a pro by any means, just casual bc i enjoy football and building up my team
It would but that's also part of the problem. You have to counter a skill less way of playing with another skill less way of playing. If I face a 5 back I know I can counter it with using 5 back myself but I don't want to have to do that to beat someone worse than me. It's the downside of wanting to have fun and not being toxic enough to get the fun out of pissing others off. That part I blame on the community because way to many people playing this game have a good time being absolute dickheads.
That player you played is the reason this game is the worst fifa they’ve made. He was absolutely shocking but used ultra defensive tactics - this game isn’t exciting anymore
To me it’s crazy that they reward this shit, this is my 10th fifa and this is the first I can recall where passing around the back for 80 minutes is an actual tactic that can win you games it’s appalling
This is the only fifa that I can absolutely batter someone and lose by 2-3 goals. The DDA is the worst I've ever seen. If I played the same guys on Fifa 22, they would rage quit after 30 mins after I net the fourth goal.
i didn't even get into finals, keep in mind in fifa 23 i used to get rank 4, there is definitely something wrong with the game this year, before fifa used to be a coping method for me now it's causing me the mental issues
Can’t let record define you this year, its correlation to your skill level is almost 0. Anyone who tells you otherwise has never truly been good at a fifa. This game is supposed to be about creativity, thinking on the fly and hand eye coordination. FC however is largely about who has the best ai and who lets their ai play for them more. I have lost to plenty of guys I would make rage quit in the first half any other fifa.
skill issue! before jumpin out on me you cant blame players even in the worst gameplay ever. A good, decent player does at LEAST 11 wins no matter the context. But yeah the game sux ass
Hi Nick i really appreciate your honesty, I have to agree with your assessment, for the last couple of years I got 11-14 wins (northing special) but average player, I stopped playing online games after the first week of champs because of a win , I beat an unreal player that didn’t deserve to lose and my experience this year has been you can get beat by a terrible player and win against a better player, the game has lost its last bit of integrity (if it had any left) , it only about money and store packs , the community is just ultra toxic and EA are allowing it , as you rightly say were is the fun in played gameplay? It’s a shambles and beyond repair, thanks pal for the uploads.
Nick I totally get you - the game can be depressing, and this year, quite often, unfortunately. EA are to blame, the game has nothing to do with actual football, because it seems to be hard to accomplish, for some reason. Broken mechanics all over the place, and abusive moves are being taught since we all want to win I guess? Just take a break, say "whatever" and move on to the next game. Cheers mate - hold you head high and move along!
For some reason I thought IM the only one who’s going through this …! This game it’s so annoying for me as a dad finish work trying to to have some fun and boom 💥 it’s not even a skill issue I don’t think i have any AI in my team lol
Still on PS4 cause I don’t play any game other than FIFA and just play causally. 90% of the player base plays just like that, it’s disgusting the amount of AI that helps weak players just cruise through to a 2-1 win after I pass around the box the entire game trying to get past AI VVD. Worst part is you try to press, your players lose more stamina leading to it being harder to break the defensive line and being more prone to a counter. I really love football and sports generally, there’s just no other game that I’m enticed to spend my time in other than to play this and spike my blood pressure every weekend
ngl this has been one of the most difficult fifa. tried all the formation, even got mbappe in my squad and the rest is mid but still, i can barely edge 8 wins in futchamps.
I’m going 8-0 rn in champs so far but not gonna lie have a top meta team like mbappe ribery and salah attackers midfield is zidane 92 yaya TT and Frankie de jong thunderstruck, and the back is capdavilla 91 Lucio Virgil totw and cancelo trailblazers honestly been playing press after possession loss and been working for me
but i wonder, who are winning the games? i mean all of us get way less wins in champs this year. but who win more this year, this is my question. i never see someone that says: i m winning more this year, it's easy this year. wtf is wrong with this game(but the guy above)
Call me an old head but i think fut got out of control when they introduced special cards every other day. My all time favorite it fifa 13. Was super sweaty with 3-5-2 every match but you could enjoy a silver beast squad and win against gold teams. Non rare golds like ogbonna were goated
I miss playing a soccer game but quitting FC 24 during the Black Friday week has been my best decision. I didn't hate it on release, but some stuff needed to get fixed / patched and they never did. All they did was selling promo packs day after day, week after week.
Please remember how 2018 2019 was how 2017 was, A gold team could destroy a full Icon team, there were no script, you could feel u have control on your player, not just moving them around,. after that everything changed, noobs with money came, they coudn't win anymore so they make the game easier for them, same as COD they couldn't win so they started to make the game more camping and cheats have been increased since.
I feel you bro. I was on the wrong end of an absolute disgrace about 20 mins ago. Result is busted controller….. can’t even delete the game until I get a new one 😂😂😂
Watching this game, how does both of these players second man contain work so well?! They aren’t controlling their defenders yet they block paths perfectly or anticipate movement so fast. When I try to use second man contain, my defender will always move away out of the way for the attacker to run past. How do I avoid doing that?
The game is definitely a mess. I still enjoy playing it. You’re 10,000 times better than I am but honestly. Your opponent in the first game kept it simple and then kept soooo many players back and in/around the box. I feel like a few times you had passes you could’ve made that are simple plays but instead would try these series of high precision dribbling techniques that usually work and then take a trivela shot or lose possession. There were a few tic tac passing plays you had open from the side of the box to enter the center of the box but instead did more turnaround dribbling. It gave his CPU defense the time to get back even further and congest the hell out of the box. I have to admit the wrong foot trivela shot was bizarre and frustrating as I 100% thought you’d score there. Also I believe you had a finesse shot go wildly wide. Even with the input it should’ve hit the far corner net. These games will always happen every so often. It’s mainly due to the game mechanics but he happened to just have a lucky header go in after doing the most ridiculous long crossing passes ever. I think those passes were almost done intentionally to try to get under the skin of the opponent. If you get in their heads, it can throw off their game. Plus he had a formation & tactics that just happened to negate your offensive playstyle. You’re still wayyyyy better than him but don’t let it get you too pissed. Every champion loses and he got lucky. I don’t know if this advice helps whatsoever but the next time you face an opponent like that, simplify your game and don’t try as many high skill/meta plays. Simplify it. Attack quicker or pass the ball back to your CMs or even CBs to get his defensive formation to spread out more and then attack again. You can’t rely on your skill winning you those types of games as we know how the game works…💩…haha. Love your content man. You’re ridiculously good. Just don’t expect to win every time when someone is playing poorly but winning. Switch it up offensively but also keep the mentality that even the best can lose in an upset to someone much worse. Love the content though! I really hope they can make the next EAFC play smoother and more intelligently but it’s EA. They truly don’t care about the fanbase’s opinions. They only see their earnings reports. I’ve gone through so much with Madden in the past where I don’t play Madden games anymore. I don’t want to support EA ever but I f***ing love soccer (football) and have no other options.
That guy had no interest in the attacking side but he had a formula of using the 2 dms to jokey and letting ai do the rest that worked for him. Bet he gives a lot of ppl nightmares to play against
Nick had so many opportunities to just shoot from outside the box he should just keep shooting if he can't get into the box, long shots are pretty effective tbh
@@anthonyc5657you say that but how the fuck have we gone from a full manual fifa 12, clean touches, no pinball in midfield and very good attacking ai runs compared to this+all the other stuff to someone who can switch the ball constantly to get the ball up the pitch, play 5back on only control your two cm’s/dms and the ai does the work for you.
@@anthonyc5657even if nick does pass up good shooting opportunities outside the box, how can you not control 5players in your defence and your opponent is attacking you and your comfortable?, you should be getting punished. Even a lot of people find it harder to score when the opponent puts there controller down😂
@@datguy9985 lol I'm not saying there nothing wrong with this game or am I defending it, the guy playing was a giant pussy but at the same time it's not hard to beat players like that and someone who wants to play this game for a living shouldn't be losing like that and complaining so hard lol he gets paid for this stuff
I try to take it not serious anymore, I'm happy in Div4 and I still can win 10+ games in a row, when EA decide it (smooth gameplay, no gameplay-broken shit), but when EA not, its okay... so I take the 5-10+ looses in a row, cuz thats how the game is... no more anger or hate.
The insane thing is that 5 backs are banned in Pro FIFA tournaments, which tells you how broken they are. So why do EA insist on leaving them in FUT Champs? Either remove them or make them way less OP.
I kept track of my xG and my opponents xG, in the past 50 games of WL and Rivals. Caveat, I'm an 11/14 win merchant so definitely a skill issue, but In 42 out of 50 matches I had a higher xG than my opponent. Yet I only have 27 wins out of 50 matches. This describes EA to a tee for me at the moment. It doesn't feel rewarding and it feels like you get beat by the game more than you get beat by the opponent. I don't mind getting beat by a better opponent, that's the game, but it doesn't feel like that's the case anymore.
Exactly this!! It’s like the finishing in some of the games you know you should be winning just doesn’t happen. Green time trivellas hitting the bar and passing isn’t as smooth
Brother i am at the point where i enjoy more loosing against a skilled opponent but the game was great then winning against a idiotic ratty noob who plays only from the sideline straight with ZERO football intelligence
Gameplay this year has been horrible with excessive DDA/scripting. Since Christmas it's like EA wants to gift wins to the new players and it's been miserable to play online. I don't mind losing, I mind losing against an inferior player who only wins cause he runs in a straight line and the ball keeps bouncing back to him. Every game the pass accuracy of the rival is at least 10% higher. If I'm not even allowed to compete, but I'm simply being used as a prop by EA to gift wins to new players in the hopes that they will buy some packs, I'm out. I had been retired since 2016 cause the bad scripting drove me out, and I gave it a try again for fifa 21 and saw it wasn't as bad, that most games I was able to overcome a bit of scripting, and only once every 3-4 games it was very bad, and I simply had to quit that one game, and then get back to a semi-normal fair competition, and fifa 22 was the same.... I was hoping for the same this year, but once again, it's back to the misery of not having one single game decided by skill, but by predetermined results dictated by an algorithm. Screw that! I used to buy packs until 2016, and EA was starting to convince me to get back into this hobby... Forget it, I'm not even paying full price for this game again just to be miserable since September.
I feel like top tier players have been to easy to obtain. I also feel like I play against Gullit, r9, mbappe, Eusebio, Zidane almost every game. And I’m still running gold kdb and putellas. Feels like by not playing every weekend league I missed out on a lot of coins/fodder.
I don't think that's a problem... it's a game, it should be rewarding, everyone deserves to be able to play with their fav player, if there were ICONS on career mode I would't even play UT for example... the problem is the skill gap being irrelevant. The problem is scripted losses... The problem is the game is made for you to spend more money and change your team all the time.
I’m with you Nick. People need to stay in their lane. Speak for yourself and whatever experience you want from this game but if you are a good player and you are used to winning then that competitiveness never goes away
Last weekend went 18-2. Fridays gameplay terrible, Saturday was so smooth. I’m 8-1 rn and the gameplay today was abysmal. Every touch just shot off my foot and couldn’t turn. Too many gamble packs being burnt for some poor suckers
to be honest, nick is really one of the only fifa content creators i actually resonate a lot with what he says about the game, i get angry way too often because of the stupid shit they implemented this year, but lets not kid ourselves last year was a pathetic gameplay as well with all the pace merchants like jarzinho mbappe and al owaiaran, you knew you will lose when you matched that trio, the problem this year is all the realism bullshit they tried to introduce like random bounces and a lot of bad touches from players that shouldnt do mistakes like that. At least there is a balance this year with some other good stuff like evos and playstyles
This guy was controlling only the CDM the ENTIRE time you we're trying to break through his back line.. his 3 attackers just stood completely still whilst he waited for defending AI to get the ball. So so bad
just played a guy exactly like this, all he does is play it back to the keeper and cross with havertz and mukiele, beat him 5-2, celebrated every goal, he also paused 3 times at the start of the game so i paused 3 times after the 5th goal , i dont care if its toxic, people deserve back what they dish out
Whoever doesnt realize this years finishing infront of goal is ridiculously inconsistent is simply not playing, depending on the current result, streak or player value it varies drastically and defending is either completely automatic in some matches and fully throwing in others its insane
Long ball switch to long ball switch to long ball switch to run down the line whipped pass cross. Holy shit 😂😂 my controller would’ve been through my monitor.
The fact someone like this can win a game against a good player is ridiculous. You literally get punished for playing a passing game and trying to attack through the middle
@@Connoisseur7184 if you actually thin that guy wins more than losses he dosent nick just got frustrated any player who uses trivela destroys that dude sitting so deep
This Dude is my hero. We have all these streams that promote "beautiful" game with 71 depth high pressure... And some one plays 5 at the back and switching from WB to WB is ugly... All tactics in this stupid game are ugly !!!
Bro shud have switched to a wider formation. Nick just sticks with what he knows too much. I wud have gone for a 3412 or a 433 attack just to get some width and play in behind this guy
Cure for depression idea got me creasing 😂😂 The game is awful but really not many good options out there at the moment. I think you’re 100% right about the casuals giving up. People are addicted so suggesting their wins aren’t because of their superior skill is triggering for them. Will keep watching the Fortnite streams. For anyone that says you’re just negative. Watch Nick when streaming Fortnite with friends vs EAFC against that community.
Why does he not use precision shooting and get mad when it’s brought up? I feel like it really helps the main thing he complains about, finishing. Not saying it fixes the whole game but I like it
Can’t tell who is the biggest whiner when they lose - Nick or Inception. It’s NEVER that they got outplayed (which Nick did here) and always that the other guy is only winning bc of AI or “poor gameplay”. This guy outplayed Nick. He frustrated him (intentionally) and got him to make mistakes. Just bc every player doesn’t get into a back and forth, ping pong, skill spam, shootout that plays to Nick’s strengths doesn’t make them bad players. It’s strategy. How about giving him an ounce of credit?
You can’t be a normal human being and have typed this. You’re one of the FIFA players that lose so much to people that are actually good that you have to resort like playing like the guy in the video.
Theres so much wrong with this game its terrible. EA doesnt really care about gameplay and it continues to get worse not just in Fifa but imo also in Madden. The player base is horrible as well, and literally your twitch chat proves it. Im sure like 50% of them do the exact same thing in Champs and Rivals so they have to say "cOpE" or other things that trigger you. This is the first time in like 5 years Ive played fifa, and im enjoying just cause of all the menus and new cards, but the gameplay is stressful. This is also the first year that I have watched you and you are by far the best content creator out there. ALSO, THANK YOU FOR CALLING OUT THESE OTHER CONTENT CREATORS THAT INFLUENCE GAMEPLAY TO BE BAD AND SELL OUT FOR EA'S MONEY, and thank you for not doing it as well.
I play in oceania and the match making so bad and people say all the players are bots but thats cap. ive just gone 2-5 in champs so far and have versed mega sweats and weirdos the whole time. And I have a good team so its not that. fifa should be about fast paced football and skills. Not sitting in a 5 back and defending the whole game to get a lucky goal. Theres no skill involved in this game and its so terrible.
amen bro, playing new gen on Xbox (Brissy based)… went 11 wins over the new year. This week only 5 wins - it was soo bad today, console/pc opponents were sweatyAF .. game was absolutely not fun. I don’t know how Oceania players enjoy this anymore… smaller player pool and everyone is just a sweat.
@@choombapare most factual statement ive heard in a while, ive been wanting for someones input about the servers aswell. Especially since I play on pc its makes everything worse. Whenever new evos come out they are nearly impossible to snipe because of bots and people hoarding the cards for them to get a new price range to the point where theres no point of trying. All mainly because of the lack of people playing on pc. Theres no casuals in this game anymore, ea have killed the game.
Thanks for reminding me why I uninstalled this trash weeks ago. I'm genuinely loving how I've been feeling since and enjoying playing different types of games now
Lost my first 3 games in a row on champs for the first time ever in any fifa. I dont know how or what is happening but its getting harder and harder to play matches
Its because the gameplay is scripted , look it up , who the fuck wants to play champions bro? I got so mad because everybody runs across with a winger cutback and pass and score , its fk boringg mann worst fifa ever
Man this is just sad, guy just knew two things - Lob from one side to other and the other was to control his DM and defend. EA is to blame for all of this. Ea thinks the skill gap in this game is to learn stupid player locks, precision shooting etc
What you guys could try is doing it like me. I get so heavily drunk on Friday and only play on Saturday bc I’m so hungover that I can’t even be mad and just auch it off, so basically I remain calm and just get through those. 20 games easily
Old gen is a much better experience, DDA and having no space to do anything has ruined fc 24 , knowing when your opponent is going to score after you've been peppering there goal for a half, there gk is saving everything then 1 shot and they score is shocking..New gen is broken
Yesterday the worst record, now the worst loss, idk man I feel like pick kinda fell off, or the rats are just evolving too quickly for Picky to compete
If you watch tht guy defend, he just used his dm and let AI do the rest, says it all about the game that a guy like that can use a no skill whipped cross to win
Division 6 and up this is all you come up against. Sad part is there are no casuals playing this game. It is a slug fest every game. Let's all hope UFL is a good football game.
The reason why Nick is my favorite fifa streamer is because he the one i feel the more. I can understand all of his reactions because i play a this game too so i can feel his statement. The thing that angers me the more is the fucking chat, a lot of them are so fucking toxic and just try to ruin his experience. It's shocking how a lot of them are simply just jerk.
no wayyy ur enjoying the game that he just had if u were in his shoes, just because u choose to sit back and accept this foolishness dont mean we have to
sure, but you should not be forced to do that, nick is trying to play real football or at least the most that's possible in this game, telling people to use skill moves, exploits and meta things are just excuses for how bad the game is
If you win you are happy and full of smiles So you don’t want to ever loose It’s a football simulation game Everyone and their tactics just like reality
nick its never bad to admit when you arent in your prime anymore for fifa. your getting older its normal. your prime was years ago. just focus on content dont play seriously :)
Bro? What is a ‘prime’ in fifa? It doesnt take athletic ability so you cant wither away. You cant get a e-injury and never recover. Games are what you put into them, his ‘prime’ was when he cared the most, crazy
But he just finished 20-0, I don’t think he’s “out of his prime.” The guy he went against controlled one guy with his 5 back and just kept switching. That will probably only work this year and there will then be another meta. Every fifa has some weird meta, Nick just wants to play the game normally.
😂😂 thanks for this bro. I was almost tempted to switch it on after a month of not playing it just out of boredom. You've just reminded me why that would have been a terrible idea for my mood
made my blood boil when chat talked about precision shooting, NO one uses that in high divisions. They actually watched you play against 5 back drop back and had the audacity to criticize your finishing like they wouldnt be equally as annoyed if they were in your shoes
Yep people twerking for EA. That's why this franchise is dead
I wouldn’t have. That guy was so focused on crowding the box on defense and with his 5 back that the edge of the box and the area 1-3 yards from the edge were completely wide open for a Finesse Shot. Whether they’re broken or not, this is the kind of match you use them on. That guy would’ve raged quit so fast…
Why doesn't anyone use it? I use it and I can see how much of a difference it makes in shots outside the box
Is it drop back or balanced with low depth?
@ademirbredajunior you use it if you want you donut. We shouldn't have to change a setting to make the finishing not be tragic. Clown behavior not surprised half the player base who pays to play doesn't get it. Cause you cheats anyways.
Bro was using 5 back with gullit as a rb 💀💀💀💀
He has the attributes for it though, not that stupid at all to play him there
@@noodstradamusyou’re the problem with the game
@@adavinozico2718just attack better you pansy
That’s like buying R9 to play him as an join attack right back
@@noodstradamusYou’re the guy in the video huh?
The player base is mainly to blame I. My idea. It’s not fun for new and casual players. To compensate the company makes it’s easier for people to learn a few offensive mechanics and let the 5 back ai play defense for them. People quitting at level scores and smurfing drives out potential new players.
IMO*
So true man I play way less now bc of this
I don't even play, don't care anymore lol just playing monster hunter world and enjoying that
i only quit at 0-0 when i know the person im playing is the biggest sweat and i have no chance and i will end up raging
i quit fifa after last year. it just became obvious that they fix nothing year to year
Rebounds and touches have been awful in this game! I lost so many games due to these problems!
that's called ai my friend
How many times you seen a player hit the post at a 45 degree angle and it comes right back to him for a goal IRL. But in this game it happens a lot for some reason
This is not a problem at all. It’s all in your head
@@angeldelgado8188It's never EA"s fault with you lot. This game it is completely viable to shoot medium power straight at the keeper from 25 yards and they will spill the ball out to the attackers.
mate you don't want the game to me more realistic. wanting that means you want the possibility of the wind carrying a goal kick into your net or the ball richoceting into a beach ball thrown by a fan into your net. if the game were that realistic those goals would be possible. we just need consistent gameplay@@robfut9954
Honestly Nick, I've never echoed a sentiment more than what you said in this video, this game is a mess completely, I sometimes wonder why I do this to myself lmao
you do it to yourself, well we do it because we like football ⚽️. but then we go against these rats and stupid mechanics that makes it so unbearable. i just wanna play this game bc i love footy. i feel like half of the people who play 5 in the back just look for the meta every year and just abuse it. its not fun, idk how they have fun doing it seriously.
I went through the pain for too long, destroying controllers and everything, FIFA has a negative impact on your mental health and life. That’s why I stopped playing after 22. I still watch Nick and Boras and check content on Futbin, but instead of playing I just do something else. Hit the gym be active anything is probably better than that game
I also wonder why i do this to myself, but then i remember i love football so i keep giving it a try. But always end up mad in champs like a 10 year old hahah
because the menus are good for the most part, and the grind is super fun as well and hard to replicate in other games
I like grinding the menus and listening to the songs
No wonder they banned 5 in the back in pro tournaments, that’s way too toxic. This happened to me today in the final draft match, the only way to beat these guys is to make sure you don’t go 1-0 down and score first so they have to push up.
They could have nerfed it into oblivion but instead they keep it but ban it from tournies lol, such and EA thing
I actually have never lost against a 3 back this FIFA, . Im a long ball type of player which destroys 3 back/ 3 CB. Balanced is when you struggle.
How’s 5 back Toxic.
@@monstaxwolf6823 it’s unbalanced for than toxic. EA just never made settings to counter it well at a high level
@monstaxwolf6823 it's just one of those things, defensive ai is op and attacking ai is run into a defender and literally tuck in behind the defender so you cant pass to them. So having 5 back and literally just let the ai do it for you is broken and toxic because youre not even playing the game at that point 🤷♂️ I don't blame people that use it because they suck at the game and need the help but it's the worst thing to play against
I started playing fifa a couple of years ago and I’ll tell you right now, I have never seen anything like this ever in video game history. Buying content creators to cover their shit game, bad gameplay, bad communication, no creative aspect when it comes to creating new innovative gameplay ideas. It mind boggles me that Nick has only been one of the very few content creators that has spoke out about this game and that’s something that I respect. I’ve never seen such horrendous community, such a horrendous game and such a horrendous company all in one. It’s insane.
For sure. They did the same with Madden. Last year I was wrongfully coin wiped 15+ million coins after completing a super difficult John Elway set when it released. Their anti cheat detection saw such a huge coin transaction and flagged it as some sort of illegal coin buying transaction. I appealed it 3 times and had recorded the entire process of how I eventually finished the card set but they wouldn’t take it in as review evidence. They just autodeny any appeals. I eventually had contacted support via live chat and phone calls where they actually viewed all of my videos and upon review, told me I was wrongfully coin wiped and apologized. They’d then send it to the appeals team and I’d get an email 5 minutes later saying my 30+ min of video evidence was reviewed and the wipe was upheld.
I was beyond furious and upset with how much time it took to earn everything only to lose it all. I was friends with a few content creators that were friends with the big content creators who do promos and whatnot. So one night on Twitter, I asked if they could help in any way; nothing long, and one of them (a massive UA-cam content creator) snapped at me quoting my post with why the hell would he help me after the terrible things I’ve said about him and to him plus so much more. I was beyond confused. Eventually I found out that a previous post of mine about EA needing to address the concerns of the community more had some random kid f bomb the crap out of that content creator and he had tagged him. So he must’ve mistaken me for that kid. Within 30 minutes, 90% of the top 12 Madden content creators (last year’s game) had blocked me on Twitter and restricted my access to their discords with my account. I was so pissed. I’m glad you commended him for calling out EA. This experience made me realize just how much of a clique the giant content creators are for games like this and how much control they have over the perception of the game and the beliefs the fan base has. It’s like a hive mind. Nothing will truly change until EA losses tons of money or all content creators come together to make them fix and improve their games. Neither will happen but yep. WOW I text out way too much lmaoooo.
TLDR: EA sucks. No other true options for playing football, soccer, etc…games so we’re herded like cattle into playing the same games rebranded with a new number on the title every year. MLB the Show is the only game where the company, devs, and customer support truly care about the fans and actually make massive improvements to gameplay and experience. Hope you have a good year man!
i mean there are quite a few of them. probably more "im good at this game but hate it content creator" for fifa than any other game i've seen.. but they don't do pack openings all day so nobody really watches them, so they don't get recommended
Pretty much the reason i immediately subscribed when i saw one of his videos 😂
the skill gap being non-existent is actually so wild man. I dont understand how they keep catering to casuals and allow you to do less and less in order to win. This game is one of the worst to ever release. It is being carried by their ridiculous store packs. Wins and Losses genuinely have no parameter on skill anymore. Winning being 70% luck in a game that is mainly made up of competitive modes is sad and tragic. And whats even more tragic, is that I love the sport and emulating it so much and the card collecting and menu grind so much, I still put myself through torture everyday and play.
AMEN. This is crazy and sad bro it is insane. I am just reading comments of others who feel the same about this shit game and it actually feels soothing. Every game feel so pre determined, you can literally read the script going on in the game this year it is I N S A N E. I have no words.
For example: 2x flame in rivals: you’re going to get a 50/50 game where even being 3-0 up doesnt mean you have won the game. It can go any way, and most of the time it ends up 3-3 and 3-4. Same goes for promotion game.
Also: 2-0 up at half time: second half your opponent is 1000% going to score the 2-1 and 80% chance of conceding the 2-2. ALWAYS.
A lot of bad touches/passes means: your going to concede within a few minutes.
I know this script so fucking well this year it is CRA-ZY.
Lets pray for UFL to be great or EA to go bankrupt
@@mg756 I dont play fiifa anymore i quit long ago and i feel so bad for a lot of the guys here :(. It's so unfair i hope everything gets better in everyones lives

@@mg756 bro that 2-0 thing drives me nuts, every time i lead 2-0 i know what's coming next and 90% it that BS that you just described. I had that yesterday in WL and closed that game after, killed completely my winning streak and mood. We need to do something as a community because EA won't change it, the future is not bright with this game.
Bro, casuals aren't playing the game anymore lol
Never seen such a group of negative weirdos as I have with fifa. No other game harbors live streams filled with so much immaturity and sadness. It’s hard to read half the chat in nicks streams.
Have you ever played a game of fifa in your life😭 bro go jump in a game and let us know what you think
Bro FR FR! There’s not a single other game out there that acts like this, I would blame it on a region like EU folks but twitch is worldwide. I think EA has just bred a super toxic community and it just keeps in breeding getting weirder and weirder. Cooked!
Completely agree. Somehow all other games I have played have not made me as mad as this game. It actually pisses me off cuz I just wanna play a good football game but EA cant provide one 😭
Wtf are you talking about dude? What’s wrong with Nick’s chat? I have fun every time I’m in his stream. Are you actually in there regularly? Compared to the rest of the bitches in this community that hate everyone, “Chat” is the best. Screw u. Pick 4 Life.
All insecure, immature, egos etc. The reason why the fifa community is this toxic, is purely because of DDA, scripting, pay to win factor etc. People THINK they are better then they actually are in reality.
Without DDA/Scripting and all that bs, people will understand their skill level. I consistently get 16 wins in WL every year, but this year, man every game I have to sweat my ass off, even against bad players. Mainly because of the pay to win factor and because of the fact how insane scripting and DDA is this year.
This is the worst year of FIFA ever, by far.
Big respect for you nick because you're one of the real ones out here that is telling facts about this horrible game.. This is literally the worst fifa for me, my last fifa that i've properly played was fifa 20 and it's so frustrating to play fifa again after all these years.. Keep up the good work brother
It definitely feels peaceful NOT playing fifa. I play calmly, try to make runs and good shot but nothing and the opponent scores the most rigged shot. And in penalties my goalie delays before diving letting my rival score
had my first pen shootout today in champs and i lost because my keeper dived so late even though i held right the whole time and he hit it so soft and not in the corner this game SUCKS
I havent bought this shit game in 2 years so watching it progressively get worse through yt vids always makes me feel good about that decision
@@chris-uc7nc good choice tbh

@@kevkev5448 i get you man im just trolling
game is kinda shite this year
@@Coyg04-69 All good, never know with this community 🤷♂️😂
I would've quit after the first switch
I entirely agree with Nick on his rant. I started playing fifa again from fifa 20 onward and from fifa 20-23 it was actually half-decent gameplay, you could make attacking runs, you could play in 100 different ways you could shoot from different places and you didn’t have 2 players that made the difference and 9 times out of 10 the better player would win. In EA fc 24… the finishing sucks, the gameplay is horrid, i’ll admit, i’m not the greatest at the game, in 23 I would get 14-16 wins consistently but in this fifa I don’t think i’ve ever got even 10. The highest i’ve gotten is 9-11, again, although i’m not the best player, I know when I come against a worse player that I should beat and yet they win because of the ball going through defenders or the goalkeeper messes up or my players forget how to control the ball, they miss sitters and then my opponent scores the most random and unintelligent goal ever seen. The pay to win on this game is 1000% real, I will come up against Mbappe, Eusebio, Dalglish, Gullit, VVD, Blanc and you just can’t do anything. I’m proud that I at least try and am not a scummy loser than quits at 1-1 or 0-0 and still gives a few free wins away at the end of a weekend league. Lastly, in previous fifa’s i’d be at school and look at the content on my phone and be relatively excited to get back home and play weekend league or do the icon pack or do player picks and after a weekend, i wouldn’t feel like 100% utter crap but now, I check futbin, basically log in daily and maybe complete an SBC or two and then i’m back off and in happier. When I go home for a few days I don’t look forward to playing fifa, it’s more of like a pull that you have to or that it’s one of the only things to do. Only good/toxic and meta-abusing players are left in this game which is why I think the majority of the players are leaving. Every year EA makes the game that much more unplayable.
This video was so from the heart I appreciate it SO MUCH. It emulates how I feel and I agree with everything
Hot take, it’s not the bad players using these mechanics… it’s the guys who no life this game and have pack addictions that abuse the broken components. As a casual, I can confidently say that I don’t face this kind of behavior in the lower divisions.
The problem isn’t that there is no skill gap, it’s that the guys who are on the fringe of being very good can’t keep up to those who are actually very good, and therefore resort to manipulating whatever they can to win.
Around the 4:00 mark is exactly why you need players with finesss+ or have players on their strong side to trivela. Lots of opportunities there to hit them. The drop back AI is just way to crazy this year.
All bro had to do was put daglish where putellas was at half time and he would’ve had a hattrick 😂

That was always gonna happen since they gave every new fullback the whiped pass + playstyle and nerfed finesse +. Playstyles are a good idea but the balancing is very poor. Before the patch everyone was ripping finesse shots from ridiculous angles and now we have this.
What's dumb for me is you cant have fun on a competitive game. Idgaf what game it is. A shooter, sports whatever tf it's not gonna be "fun". Fun is like party games, co op multiplayer games and single player games. Theres too many ppl in the world that literally wanna be pro gamers and emulate what they see on twitch or youtube. You will always be upset on a competitive game if u dont sit down and play the same game over and over to master the game.
that’s what i did in fut22, my first time playing UT, and i knew i was dogsht so losing never made me feel bad or angry at the game mechanics, and since then i’d say i’ve improved, not a pro by any means, just casual bc i enjoy football and building up my team
I think spamming green trivelas from far would have worked but yeah its almost 3 fifa that winning or loosing it’s just depressing me either way. 😩
It would but that's also part of the problem. You have to counter a skill less way of playing with another skill less way of playing. If I face a 5 back I know I can counter it with using 5 back myself but I don't want to have to do that to beat someone worse than me. It's the downside of wanting to have fun and not being toxic enough to get the fun out of pissing others off. That part I blame on the community because way to many people playing this game have a good time being absolute dickheads.
That player you played is the reason this game is the worst fifa they’ve made. He was absolutely shocking but used ultra defensive tactics - this game isn’t exciting anymore
To me it’s crazy that they reward this shit, this is my 10th fifa and this is the first I can recall where passing around the back for 80 minutes is an actual tactic that can win you games it’s appalling
@@xcbackstabber0068 it’s such a boring fifa game. Barely played it
This is the only fifa that I can absolutely batter someone and lose by 2-3 goals. The DDA is the worst I've ever seen. If I played the same guys on Fifa 22, they would rage quit after 30 mins after I net the fourth goal.
I went 5 - 15 for this weekend, felt like my players ran in quicksand all the time
Same bro i went 6-14 the gameplay was so bad and everything was going agatme
i didn't even get into finals, keep in mind in fifa 23 i used to get rank 4, there is definitely something wrong with the game this year, before fifa used to be a coping method for me now it's causing me the mental issues
In a good day what rank u get ?
Can’t let record define you this year, its correlation to your skill level is almost 0. Anyone who tells you otherwise has never truly been good at a fifa. This game is supposed to be about creativity, thinking on the fly and hand eye coordination. FC however is largely about who has the best ai and who lets their ai play for them more. I have lost to plenty of guys I would make rage quit in the first half any other fifa.
skill issue! before jumpin out on me you cant blame players even in the worst gameplay ever. A good, decent player does at LEAST 11 wins no matter the context. But yeah the game sux ass
The game was the first time ive tuned into twitch and i had the joy of watching this whole thing lmao
Hi Nick i really appreciate your honesty, I have to agree with your assessment, for the last couple of years I got 11-14 wins (northing special) but average player, I stopped playing online games after the first week of champs because of a win , I beat an unreal player that didn’t deserve to lose and my experience this year has been you can get beat by a terrible player and win against a better player, the game has lost its last bit of integrity (if it had any left) , it only about money and store packs , the community is just ultra toxic and EA are allowing it , as you rightly say were is the fun in played gameplay? It’s a shambles and beyond repair, thanks pal for the uploads.
Nick I totally get you - the game can be depressing, and this year, quite often, unfortunately.
EA are to blame, the game has nothing to do with actual football, because it seems to be hard to accomplish, for some reason.
Broken mechanics all over the place, and abusive moves are being taught since we all want to win I guess?
Just take a break, say "whatever" and move on to the next game.
Cheers mate - hold you head high and move along!
For some reason I thought IM the only one who’s going through this …! This game it’s so annoying for me as a dad finish work trying to to have some fun and boom 💥 it’s not even a skill issue I don’t think i have any AI in my team lol
He never touched a defender in the 5 back the whole game . Just controlled the CDM
but when i do it 4 goals conceded min
this has to be the funniest video i’ve seen from this guy 😂😂
It’s not the 5 back that won him the game - it’s how broken those whipped passes / long passes are. They need nerfing desperately
Still on PS4 cause I don’t play any game other than FIFA and just play causally. 90% of the player base plays just like that, it’s disgusting the amount of AI that helps weak players just cruise through to a 2-1 win after I pass around the box the entire game trying to get past AI VVD. Worst part is you try to press, your players lose more stamina leading to it being harder to break the defensive line and being more prone to a counter. I really love football and sports generally, there’s just no other game that I’m enticed to spend my time in other than to play this and spike my blood pressure every weekend
ngl this has been one of the most difficult fifa. tried all the formation, even got mbappe in my squad and the rest is mid but still, i can barely edge 8 wins in futchamps.
its because it is so AI assisted no skill gap
I’m going 8-0 rn in champs so far but not gonna lie have a top meta team like mbappe ribery and salah attackers midfield is zidane 92 yaya TT and Frankie de jong thunderstruck, and the back is capdavilla 91 Lucio Virgil totw and cancelo trailblazers honestly been playing press after possession loss and been working for me
so you're playing it from minute 1? can you comment your tactics pls for your team@@sonchips4152
but i wonder, who are winning the games? i mean all of us get way less wins in champs this year. but who win more this year, this is my question. i never see someone that says: i m winning more this year, it's easy this year. wtf is wrong with this game(but the guy above)
thats literally what he said...@@getyaphinsup
Little tip against these switching rats, press on the up arrow and put “hug sidelines”, your Ai will always mark the guy receiving the switch
Call me an old head but i think fut got out of control when they introduced special cards every other day. My all time favorite it fifa 13. Was super sweaty with 3-5-2 every match but you could enjoy a silver beast squad and win against gold teams. Non rare golds like ogbonna were goated
Good old days, was used to play a Korean Silver team and blast opponents in Div 1 - Elite. It was so fun back then !
I miss playing a soccer game but quitting FC 24 during the Black Friday week has been my best decision. I didn't hate it on release, but some stuff needed to get fixed / patched and they never did. All they did was selling promo packs day after day, week after week.
He really had the counter game play plan going with Kenny but he kept driving into the box after the brilliant plan to counter
He played better in my opinion, more creativity
The art of defense baby! Frustrate your opponent to cause mistakes and kill his mood when he loses. Fuck y’all!
EA think they can buy everyone, but you cant buy our boy Nicky.. Great to see you with us bud. Love you Nick
Please remember how 2018 2019 was how 2017 was, A gold team could destroy a full Icon team, there were no script, you could feel u have control on your player, not just moving them around,. after that everything changed, noobs with money came, they coudn't win anymore so they make the game easier for them, same as COD they couldn't win so they started to make the game more camping and cheats have been increased since.
I feel you bro. I was on the wrong end of an absolute disgrace about 20 mins ago. Result is busted controller….. can’t even delete the game until I get a new one 😂😂😂
Watching this game, how does both of these players second man contain work so well?! They aren’t controlling their defenders yet they block paths perfectly or anticipate movement so fast. When I try to use second man contain, my defender will always move away out of the way for the attacker to run past. How do I avoid doing that?
"even your favorites are secretly working with EA" Turned into "Nick" Williams 😂😂😂😂😂
The game is definitely a mess. I still enjoy playing it. You’re 10,000 times better than I am but honestly. Your opponent in the first game kept it simple and then kept soooo many players back and in/around the box. I feel like a few times you had passes you could’ve made that are simple plays but instead would try these series of high precision dribbling techniques that usually work and then take a trivela shot or lose possession. There were a few tic tac passing plays you had open from the side of the box to enter the center of the box but instead did more turnaround dribbling. It gave his CPU defense the time to get back even further and congest the hell out of the box.
I have to admit the wrong foot trivela shot was bizarre and frustrating as I 100% thought you’d score there. Also I believe you had a finesse shot go wildly wide. Even with the input it should’ve hit the far corner net.
These games will always happen every so often. It’s mainly due to the game mechanics but he happened to just have a lucky header go in after doing the most ridiculous long crossing passes ever. I think those passes were almost done intentionally to try to get under the skin of the opponent. If you get in their heads, it can throw off their game. Plus he had a formation & tactics that just happened to negate your offensive playstyle. You’re still wayyyyy better than him but don’t let it get you too pissed. Every champion loses and he got lucky. I don’t know if this advice helps whatsoever but the next time you face an opponent like that, simplify your game and don’t try as many high skill/meta plays. Simplify it. Attack quicker or pass the ball back to your CMs or even CBs to get his defensive formation to spread out more and then attack again. You can’t rely on your skill winning you those types of games as we know how the game works…💩…haha.
Love your content man. You’re ridiculously good. Just don’t expect to win every time when someone is playing poorly but winning. Switch it up offensively but also keep the mentality that even the best can lose in an upset to someone much worse.
Love the content though! I really hope they can make the next EAFC play smoother and more intelligently but it’s EA. They truly don’t care about the fanbase’s opinions. They only see their earnings reports. I’ve gone through so much with Madden in the past where I don’t play Madden games anymore. I don’t want to support EA ever but I f***ing love soccer (football) and have no other options.
That guy had no interest in the attacking side but he had a formula of using the 2 dms to jokey and letting ai do the rest that worked for him. Bet he gives a lot of ppl nightmares to play against
Nick had so many opportunities to just shoot from outside the box he should just keep shooting if he can't get into the box, long shots are pretty effective tbh
@@anthonyc5657you say that but how the fuck have we gone from a full manual fifa 12, clean touches, no pinball in midfield and very good attacking ai runs compared to this+all the other stuff to someone who can switch the ball constantly to get the ball up the pitch, play 5back on only control your two cm’s/dms and the ai does the work for you.
@@anthonyc5657even if nick does pass up good shooting opportunities outside the box, how can you not control 5players in your defence and your opponent is attacking you and your comfortable?, you should be getting punished. Even a lot of people find it harder to score when the opponent puts there controller down😂
@@anthonyc5657true, frustrating to watch him not take the trivela, he had hella opportunity to trivela with putellas
@@datguy9985 lol I'm not saying there nothing wrong with this game or am I defending it, the guy playing was a giant pussy but at the same time it's not hard to beat players like that and someone who wants to play this game for a living shouldn't be losing like that and complaining so hard lol he gets paid for this stuff
I try to take it not serious anymore, I'm happy in Div4 and I still can win 10+ games in a row, when EA decide it (smooth gameplay, no gameplay-broken shit), but when EA not, its okay... so I take the 5-10+ looses in a row, cuz thats how the game is... no more anger or hate.
The insane thing is that 5 backs are banned in Pro FIFA tournaments, which tells you how broken they are.
So why do EA insist on leaving them in FUT Champs?
Either remove them or make them way less OP.
It's a normal formation in real life.
@@KingKuba1313 defenders standing still and managing to intercept everything is not something normal in real life
I kept track of my xG and my opponents xG, in the past 50 games of WL and Rivals. Caveat, I'm an 11/14 win merchant so definitely a skill issue, but In 42 out of 50 matches I had a higher xG than my opponent. Yet I only have 27 wins out of 50 matches. This describes EA to a tee for me at the moment. It doesn't feel rewarding and it feels like you get beat by the game more than you get beat by the opponent. I don't mind getting beat by a better opponent, that's the game, but it doesn't feel like that's the case anymore.
Exactly this!! It’s like the finishing in some of the games you know you should be winning just doesn’t happen. Green time trivellas hitting the bar and passing isn’t as smooth
Brother i am at the point where i enjoy more loosing against a skilled opponent but the game was great then winning against a idiotic ratty noob who plays only from the sideline straight with ZERO football intelligence
the realest dude out there in this community. Everyone would miss this guy, if he decided to stop playing
Gameplay this year has been horrible with excessive DDA/scripting. Since Christmas it's like EA wants to gift wins to the new players and it's been miserable to play online. I don't mind losing, I mind losing against an inferior player who only wins cause he runs in a straight line and the ball keeps bouncing back to him. Every game the pass accuracy of the rival is at least 10% higher. If I'm not even allowed to compete, but I'm simply being used as a prop by EA to gift wins to new players in the hopes that they will buy some packs, I'm out. I had been retired since 2016 cause the bad scripting drove me out, and I gave it a try again for fifa 21 and saw it wasn't as bad, that most games I was able to overcome a bit of scripting, and only once every 3-4 games it was very bad, and I simply had to quit that one game, and then get back to a semi-normal fair competition, and fifa 22 was the same.... I was hoping for the same this year, but once again, it's back to the misery of not having one single game decided by skill, but by predetermined results dictated by an algorithm. Screw that! I used to buy packs until 2016, and EA was starting to convince me to get back into this hobby... Forget it, I'm not even paying full price for this game again just to be miserable since September.
I feel like top tier players have been to easy to obtain. I also feel like I play against Gullit, r9, mbappe, Eusebio, Zidane almost every game. And I’m still running gold kdb and putellas. Feels like by not playing every weekend league I missed out on a lot of coins/fodder.
I’m running gold gavi 🥶🥶🥶
I packed yaya toure but he’s on the bench gold gavi has more passion
Every team is full icon/if right now
I don't think that's a problem... it's a game, it should be rewarding, everyone deserves to be able to play with their fav player, if there were ICONS on career mode I would't even play UT for example... the problem is the skill gap being irrelevant. The problem is scripted losses... The problem is the game is made for you to spend more money and change your team all the time.
I’m with you Nick. People need to stay in their lane. Speak for yourself and whatever experience you want from this game but if you are a good player and you are used to winning then that competitiveness never goes away
Last weekend went 18-2. Fridays gameplay terrible, Saturday was so smooth. I’m 8-1 rn and the gameplay today was abysmal. Every touch just shot off my foot and couldn’t turn. Too many gamble packs being burnt for some poor suckers
to be honest, nick is really one of the only fifa content creators i actually resonate a lot with what he says about the game, i get angry way too often because of the stupid shit they implemented this year, but lets not kid ourselves last year was a pathetic gameplay as well with all the pace merchants like jarzinho mbappe and al owaiaran, you knew you will lose when you matched that trio, the problem this year is all the realism bullshit they tried to introduce like random bounces and a lot of bad touches from players that shouldnt do mistakes like that. At least there is a balance this year with some other good stuff like evos and playstyles
This guy was controlling only the CDM the ENTIRE time you we're trying to break through his back line.. his 3 attackers just stood completely still whilst he waited for defending AI to get the ball. So so bad
My AI players won't even move...
just played a guy exactly like this, all he does is play it back to the keeper and cross with havertz and mukiele, beat him 5-2, celebrated every goal, he also paused 3 times at the start of the game so i paused 3 times after the 5th goal , i dont care if its toxic, people deserve back what they dish out
Whoever doesnt realize this years finishing infront of goal is ridiculously inconsistent is simply not playing, depending on the current result, streak or player value it varies drastically and defending is either completely automatic in some matches and fully throwing in others its insane
this man taking the "Long ball" tactic a little too literal
Long ball switch to long ball switch to long ball switch to run down the line whipped pass cross. Holy shit 😂😂 my controller would’ve been through my monitor.
The fact someone like this can win a game against a good player is ridiculous. You literally get punished for playing a passing game and trying to attack through the middle
This was honestly so sad to watch. How it can be rewarding to play 5 back and do nothing from side to side long passes, is beyond me💀
the reward is in the winning
@@Connoisseur7184 if you actually thin that guy wins more than losses he dosent nick just got frustrated any player who uses trivela destroys that dude sitting so deep
@@tridentHalo he won, didn't he? We have no idea about his winrate in other games. So for now, it's 100% until proven otherwise. Bye.
your the guy in the video arent u@@Connoisseur7184
100% 😭
This Dude is my hero. We have all these streams that promote "beautiful" game with 71 depth high pressure... And some one plays 5 at the back and switching from WB to WB is ugly... All tactics in this stupid game are ugly !!!
Bro shud have switched to a wider formation. Nick just sticks with what he knows too much. I wud have gone for a 3412 or a 433 attack just to get some width and play in behind this guy
Cure for depression idea got me creasing 😂😂
The game is awful but really not many good options out there at the moment.
I think you’re 100% right about the casuals giving up. People are addicted so suggesting their wins aren’t because of their superior skill is triggering for them.
Will keep watching the Fortnite streams. For anyone that says you’re just negative. Watch Nick when streaming Fortnite with friends vs EAFC against that community.
He can’t be washed when he just went 19-1 the other week lol. People switch up on others real quick, CR7 type beat
the cr7 glaze is crazy
Just got home from work and was like "let's play some fifa". Saw you vid and am like fuck no not tonight 🤣
Wish a company like Rockstar create a football game from scratch. They have a whole team of developers to make the engine alone
That is the perfect recration of Mourinho play
Tiki taka?
Why does he not use precision shooting and get mad when it’s brought up? I feel like it really helps the main thing he complains about, finishing. Not saying it fixes the whole game but I like it
Bro no one uses that shit 😂😂
I don’t even play this game anymore but watching him cry over a video game makes my day
Can’t tell who is the biggest whiner when they lose - Nick or Inception. It’s NEVER that they got outplayed (which Nick did here) and always that the other guy is only winning bc of AI or “poor gameplay”. This guy outplayed Nick. He frustrated him (intentionally) and got him to make mistakes. Just bc every player doesn’t get into a back and forth, ping pong, skill spam, shootout that plays to Nick’s strengths doesn’t make them bad players. It’s strategy. How about giving him an ounce of credit?
You can’t be a normal human being and have typed this. You’re one of the FIFA players that lose so much to people that are actually good that you have to resort like playing like the guy in the video.
Unskilled player not willing to actually get better and resorts to lazy AI mechanics to get his wins.
@@muzzaf00za43 lol he is obviously in Div 1 or Elite if he is playing Nick. Clearly he has skills and is smart and patient.
@@-youngish buddy if thats skills to you then idk💀
@@TheVeron I thought the point was to win the game? I didn’t realize they gave out style points.
Theres so much wrong with this game its terrible. EA doesnt really care about gameplay and it continues to get worse not just in Fifa but imo also in Madden. The player base is horrible as well, and literally your twitch chat proves it. Im sure like 50% of them do the exact same thing in Champs and Rivals so they have to say "cOpE" or other things that trigger you. This is the first time in like 5 years Ive played fifa, and im enjoying just cause of all the menus and new cards, but the gameplay is stressful. This is also the first year that I have watched you and you are by far the best content creator out there. ALSO, THANK YOU FOR CALLING OUT THESE OTHER CONTENT CREATORS THAT INFLUENCE GAMEPLAY TO BE BAD AND SELL OUT FOR EA'S MONEY, and thank you for not doing it as well.
I play in oceania and the match making so bad and people say all the players are bots but thats cap. ive just gone 2-5 in champs so far and have versed mega sweats and weirdos the whole time. And I have a good team so its not that. fifa should be about fast paced football and skills. Not sitting in a 5 back and defending the whole game to get a lucky goal. Theres no skill involved in this game and its so terrible.
amen bro, playing new gen on Xbox (Brissy based)… went 11 wins over the new year.
This week only 5 wins - it was soo bad today, console/pc opponents were sweatyAF .. game was absolutely not fun. I don’t know how Oceania players enjoy this anymore… smaller player pool and everyone is just a sweat.
@@choombapare most factual statement ive heard in a while, ive been wanting for someones input about the servers aswell. Especially since I play on pc its makes everything worse. Whenever new evos come out they are nearly impossible to snipe because of bots and people hoarding the cards for them to get a new price range to the point where theres no point of trying. All mainly because of the lack of people playing on pc. Theres no casuals in this game anymore, ea have killed the game.
Thanks for reminding me why I uninstalled this trash weeks ago. I'm genuinely loving how I've been feeling since and enjoying playing different types of games now
Lost my first 3 games in a row on champs for the first time ever in any fifa. I dont know how or what is happening but its getting harder and harder to play matches
Its because the gameplay is scripted , look it up , who the fuck wants to play champions bro? I got so mad because everybody runs across with a winger cutback and pass and score , its fk boringg mann worst fifa ever
Feel the same way
haven’t played for a whole month but i still watch the goat nick🔥🔥
ngl this was fun to watch because it wasn't happening to me LMAO, I even grabbed some popcorn for this
Man this is just sad, guy just knew two things - Lob from one side to other and the other was to control his DM and defend. EA is to blame for all of this. Ea thinks the skill gap in this game is to learn stupid player locks, precision shooting etc
At this point I feel like you have to just respect it. Like bro is playing Gullit at RWB purely to win more headers off the full pitch switches 😭
Bro had a game plan and played it perfectly. Nick’s gotta hold that 😂
What you guys could try is doing it like me. I get so heavily drunk on Friday and only play on Saturday bc I’m so hungover that I can’t even be mad and just auch it off, so basically I remain calm and just get through those. 20 games easily
Old gen is a much better experience, DDA and having no space to do anything has ruined fc 24 , knowing when your opponent is going to score after you've been peppering there goal for a half, there gk is saving everything then 1 shot and they score is shocking..New gen is broken
Yes
Agreed I played both and old gen is just far more playable and enjoyable
Fuck animations ans graphics all day
Yesterday the worst record, now the worst loss, idk man I feel like pick kinda fell off, or the rats are just evolving too quickly for Picky to compete
Or, hear me out, the game is shit.
Our guy is too old now 😢
this game is horrible lol. This year rank 3-1 is extremely easy playing these cheese tactics. Skill gap is non existent.
If you watch tht guy defend, he just used his dm and let AI do the rest, says it all about the game that a guy like that can use a no skill whipped cross to win
Division 6 and up this is all you come up against. Sad part is there are no casuals playing this game. It is a slug fest every game. Let's all hope UFL is a good football game.
The reason why Nick is my favorite fifa streamer is because he the one i feel the more. I can understand all of his reactions because i play a this game too so i can feel his statement. The thing that angers me the more is the fucking chat, a lot of them are so fucking toxic and just try to ruin his experience. It's shocking how a lot of them are simply just jerk.
Worst video-game off all time
That looks like Eli Empire’s 5212 tactics honestly. He warned us
Why did you take so long to shoot bro you played like arsenal there keep the ball but did nothing with it!!!!!!
No need to apologize nick we all understand what your going through
Never seen a man cry as much as you
no wayyy ur enjoying the game that he just had if u were in his shoes, just because u choose to sit back and accept this foolishness dont mean we have to
THAT PELE JERSEY IS FIRE!!!! CONGRATS, BRO
you played so bad , atleast force create some chances by skill moves, just possesion doesnt work
sure, but you should not be forced to do that, nick is trying to play real football or at least the most that's possible in this game, telling people to use skill moves, exploits and meta things are just excuses for how bad the game is
If you win you are happy and full of smiles
So you don’t want to ever loose
It’s a football simulation game
Everyone and their tactics just like reality
nick its never bad to admit when you arent in your prime anymore for fifa. your getting older its normal. your prime was years ago. just focus on content dont play seriously :)
Bro? What is a ‘prime’ in fifa? It doesnt take athletic ability so you cant wither away. You cant get a e-injury and never recover. Games are what you put into them, his ‘prime’ was when he cared the most, crazy
the guys like 25 lol wtf are u yapping about
This game isnt a shooter lmao. It is not super reaction based.
But he just finished 20-0, I don’t think he’s “out of his prime.” The guy he went against controlled one guy with his 5 back and just kept switching. That will probably only work this year and there will then be another meta. Every fifa has some weird meta, Nick just wants to play the game normally.
nick only allows stream snipes cause they sometimes give him free wins or they are just bad players. nick loves free wins
Watching that guy play defense just gave me flashbacks…they literally made this game noob friendly for the Holliday…
Nick had like 30 trivela angles with Putellas...
Thr thumbnail had me laughing for a solid 10 seconds 😂😂
I Realy feel ure pain its fcking with my mind to ,Playing fifa so many years and they e.a. took the soul out of this game
Keep it up bro, don’t let this bring you down. Stay patient 😊
😂😂 thanks for this bro. I was almost tempted to switch it on after a month of not playing it just out of boredom. You've just reminded me why that would have been a terrible idea for my mood
Bro I haven’t played in 4 months then after this I want to get it it’s so funny 😂😂😂
