Exactly. At the end of the day they are a profit business, and as long as they’re pleasing the public who pay for their pay checks there is absolutely no problem on any level.

[@me-ey8uu]

And the only reason they make that much money is via micro transactions. I’m of the belief microtransactions shouldn’t even be allowed on games rated E as there’s so many cases of exploiting kids with reward systems, bright colors to stimulate kids etc. and obviously addiction. The only solution is for regulators to ban it on games made for kids so EA will have to innovate. Which will never happen because too much money is involved…

[@rd0676]

More power to you

[@ajmoore2201]

At this point it's the consumer's point honestly, people complain every year and rehash the same complaints yet still buy it. Why would EA be motivated to change their product if they know they are gonna earn a shit ton of $ regardless. Fifa 19 was the last fifa I owned and I haven't looked back since.

[@BestShortsYT-]

The problem is that there are now 2 generations of players and neither of them Will ever be happy about the game

[@afraidofbridges4053]

for me as a career mode only player it’s been pretty good

[@thescottishguy6025]

The biggest issue is EA's greed and the fact they outcource so much of the workload that nobody at the studio could even begin to fix the issues.

[@zeeamja1]

The only silver lining I can see is the fact there are 160 countries you can scout a youth academy. You can get player from your own country and have RTG. When I finally get it, I wanna scout a player from Pakistan and have have him team like Wrexham RTG

[@Josep_Hernandez_Lujan]

There aren't many games I play, but another one is the Resident Evil series. Which isn't fully yearly but it's close and they've been releasing banger after banger. Resident Evil 6 got bad backlash but since than they've released since 2015 they released 6 games ranging between instant classic (Remake 2) and good (Remake 3) and everything inbetween. So maybe, EA should release a new EAFC every two years At this point I'd pay for a classic FIFA remake. They did it for EA NHL a few years ago, I was kind of expecting a classic FIFA at that point, but it never came. I'd love a back to basics "FIFA" games at times. Full reboot, new engine, get rid of the fluff. Get it back to basics.

[@zlatandzafic3387]

Whats even more crazy is that games are MUUUCH easier to optimize for consol because theres two different systems.

[@olliecp1993]

Please can someone mention the fact they've taken away manually moving your players on the team management screen..... Being able to switch positions of players without changing formation was a class feature!!!!!

[@NuggyTube2000]

Making this comment at 8:41 so if it isn’t mentioned yet then apologies, but this video should be ‘FUT is unacceptable’ - I agree, but playing the new career mode with the realistic settings, new weather effects, new youth academy changes, I’ve never had so much fun in a game and the gameplay on realistic settings is fantastic. Obviously it won’t change because it doesn’t make money like fut does, but trying to add some balance to the discussion. Edit- PC Player

[@jimmyhurt]

I've never had less fun playing a game. Maneuvering through the menu feels like doing homework. Took 3 years off, took a chance on this year, I'm not buying it ever again.

[@damiancairns]

This game breeds gambling and poor mental health. It's not football and creates toxicity

[@F80.M3]

Nobody forces you to play FUT

[@damiancairns]

@VWR7.5 never said anyone did? My statement still stands

[@fernm1061]

went 0-9 before i started winnin in WL, its furtrating but you get the idea. its more complex game, more things to manually take care of and be aware of.

[@Torinna_]

The problem is that FIFA is this self fulfilling cycle. There are no alternatives to what EA is selling and most people just want a football game, so they buy it regardless of the quality. Since football is so popular tons of people buy it. Since so many people buy it, no one can feasibly make a competitor to FIFA

[@vyckturvon-ozeghe3157]

You can tell Vizeh is so fed up and traumatized by the game. He literally sounds so.

[@ontheturningaway]

How so? He’s just a KZbinr

[@DNOPLAYSGAMES]

It’s the first one in 20 years I’m not buying

[@Teh_Monk]

You’re not washed, this game is so bad. They can’t even fix it, because their engine won’t allow the fast and crisp gameplay we used to love. They have truly killed this game and many of us haven’t realized it yet. 😢

[@Kdubi92]

100% everything you’ve said mate. I love football and I want to play fifa im now 32 but I’ve played fifa since 1998. The game is the biggest piece of shit I’ve ever seen. The older I’ve gotten the more I just don’t care about results. I’m in div 2 I got Torres from the icon pack and does it make me want to play more? Absolutely not. I do the bare minimum on rivals and then play career mode with realistic sliders. Haven’t bothered with champs in 25 I just can’t bring myself towards it.

[@pEakSnFrEaKs]

Slowly stopped playing 24, bought 25 never buying fifa again, im out for good. Moving onto the next chapter in life. The last 2 years bored me to death.

[@polo2796]

Don't blame EA and don't even ask any other game developers for a game. As long as leagues and FIFA has monopoly one rights, no one will dare.

[@UR.Gibbs-White]

What I love is the “same game every year” comments. Cuz when you go back to the game before the one your on it looks pretty similar, But when The games are 2 years apart they are almost nothing alike, Clearly showing the changes change the game a ton each year and nobody actually has the ability to notice cuz they’re too lazy to pay attention to detail and whatnot. Fifa 23 is nothing like FC25. Same goes for FIFA 20 and FIFA 18

[@svokxz6435]

Squad battles has become unplayable so hard to keep clean sheets on World Class mode.

[@FlaqkoGTA]

I can win against world class. Legendary is insane. They score every corner and free kick. Everyone dribbles like prime Messi and Tika Tika like prime Barcelona. Plus my players feel sluggish. I'm convinced they use sliders

[@svokxz6435]

@@FlaqkoGTA yeah I know I hate it when they cross the ball and always score the header I don’t know what I am doing wrong I am passing a lot and keeping possession and maybe I can’t create the chances?

[@FlaqkoGTA]

@@svokxz6435 in world class you need to be more direct. Run into open space and pass to the forwards making runs. Don't pass around in middle and look for chances. Get a player and run directly into the defence with close dribbling. When you lose the ball rush to get ball back as fast as you can and don't predict where Ai will go because they will dribble you 100% of the time. Instead close the distance by running straight at them and hard tackle. I got elite 2 top 6% percent of the world doing this with playing most games on world class and winning by like 7-0. Would have got elite 1 3% but lost a match legendary 1-0 last minute free kick bs

[@ylondes9927]

It's an awful game, i been saying this..

[@svokxz6435]

@ might go back to playing Mario kart

[@MuathAlfawzan1]

I’m glad I had the courage to quit this game, even though my friends are still pressuring me to come back, I’d rather stop completely than try to control my bad spending habits when purchasing fc points

[@franciss9856]

I consider myself more as a returning FIFA player because I used to love the game when I was a child about eight years to 10 years old. And for me it’s quite interesting because I have lost interest in the game series for quite some time and I only recently got back with FIFA 23 and I like the gameplay there and I felt like 24 was a huge downgrade in comparison. Everything felt more sluggish and “too realistic” . But with 25 I felt like everything just made a little bit more sense than it did in 24 and also if I watch the ball closely and pay attention to the animations I can get past almost everything that I considered to be sluggish beforehand. Once I changed my approach from playing a football game to playing a video game everything just made a little bit more sense to me and I actually gotten quite fond of the gameplay in 25. For me this is an interesting topic because I don’t really have any experience with prior FIFA from 2012 onward I may or may not have played a few games of those but not enough to really make a difference. I feel like I’m sort of one of the few exceptions of people who really enjoy the gameplay.

[@franciss9856]

But I am also a casual player and wouldn’t consider myself to be good at the game because I peaked in fifth division. So I am less aware of the problems and glitch abuses that may happen in higher leagues

[@lisandroflores95]

I run haland as golie and omg hes op. I have over 200 games with haland as golie and he comes in clutch all the time. This game is hilarious but i love that i can run haland as golie and fuck shit up lmao

[@jktl88]

Ultimate team is a thing of a past. Stopped playing 4 years ago and never regretted it. I can’t comprehend how people still play it and make content out of it and worst of all, there is still people that wanna watch it. The game used to be great before ultimate team came along really.

[@edwinnochebuena1214]

People don’t have skill or even are any good… all they do is exploit a mechanic of the game and that’s all they do

[@bilalbiriri6596]

I bought this game and the last one just for playing pro clubs with the boys. Played Ultimate Team in 23, my first time since 17, but realised that life is just better without Ultimate Team 🤣

[@Usedtobebillie]

Fc25 is a game for me as a casual player that turns people away from the game. I hated the experience of playing it. Every rebound goes to the feet of your opponent, you can’t outrun no one, you can start running 5 seconds before on open goal yet still get caught by the defender. The pass accuracy is horrendous, a soft touch apparently plays a heavy through ball. Every outside of the box shot from the opponent it’s a goal, you can’t defend, because the game never actually lets you select the defender that you actually want. It’s just awful, I’m a casual but I can get by fc24 just fine, despite being a terrible game as well.

[@sweetdukes7031]

I told myself each year would be my last year of buying this game. This year i finally didnt buy it and feel completely free of all the garbage that we continuously dealt with.

[@bauroch5167]

Interesting how fifa looks more unrealistic the more they try to make a realistic. The whole point of a game is to be fun. I always felt PES was more realistic imo. Hopefully there will be a resurgence for PES, they deserve a fair shot

[@Barnsey3288]

My last fifa was in 2008 and I stopped playing that and moved on to cod. Stopped playing cod for Destiny in 2014 for the same reasons I stopped playing fifa. The same game every year with no major change.

[@TheOnlyEn]

I just love that the defenders just watching players pass. Ai defending are horrible
