EA should release a FIFA game every 4 years to do it justice while updating the current game for free for 3 years.

That's what Pro Evolution Football did. PES 2021 was the best, especially when they updated for free for the Euros. But then they went the free to play route, completely trashed their game and now is worse off than it ever was.

EA still think the best way to make the game harder is to make AI defenders terrible, they don't mark, they don't track runs, every game in career mode has 10 goals in it, too easy to score but impossible to defend, been broken for years and they don't even try and fix it

[@cinematicgameplay61]

100 percent agreed... This fifa gameplay mentality only high scoring matches and ITs not just about scoring goals and goals and score borad are like 9 8 or 7 9 which looks like fictional or artificial matches but other than in real normal matches score board are like 1-0 or 2-3 or by chance if there is maximum high scoring matches that are 5 - 6 thats it...

[@smd4246]

[@Bushidounohana]

Silly thought-given that the trend with sport video games has devolved into disappointing attempts at full game annual updates, it’d be great if a company decided to change the paradigm to focusing on a solid base game (without all the ridiculousness around micro transactions) one year, and then perhaps releasing roster updates and feature enhancements as optional DLC for a set period of time afterwards rather than trying to sell a whole “new” game each year. In this dream scenario, one dev team is focusing on creating a new base game every few years, perhaps, while another team is focused on the updates to the current base, ensuring the expected roster updates and perhaps modest feature bumps. Even if feature bumps to the current base are annoyingly parceled out, it’d still seem preferable to the current mode of annual sprints resulting in lackluster games. While this doesn’t change company directives like priority of micro transactions, it might at least alleviate some of the deadline pressures of annually reinventing the wheel, so to speak.

[@FraserSouris]

The thing is that the reason why companies do this is because players buy them. Like, in the mobile space, ironically, both EA and 2k had to stop making annual FIFA and NBA games because players stuck with the older ones instead of going out of their way to buy the new ones. Their solution was to make a base FIFA/NBA Mobile and update that (with more microtransactions) which worked better for them
