My Angriest EA Rant EVER!!!

[@ramyyz416]

Finally these guys are actually putting their foot down, this is awesome and yet very sad because this game truly became a “I have to play it” vs “I want to play it”.

been like that since they added more roulette type shit in gaming, fornite, COD etc. online gaming on par or even worse than going to the casino, and at least you're going OUTSIDE to go to the casino....😂😂😂😂😂

Old gen fifa games were sweaty and unrealistic but they were at least attacking . On new gen if you play against a non ratty player who wants to play good football it’s great but that’s so rare. What actually ends up happening is it’s just a slow sweaty and unrealistic game now lol not even attacking anymore

[@aadhaarmurty1180]

They're probably kids who started watching after 2022 and now think abusing mechanics and spamming trivelas and cutbacks means you're good at the game. They 're VERY new to football and so they lack the ability to spot good gameplay because they don't what that looks like - they have no understanding of passing, making runs, retaining possession, being creative,......

[@aadhaarmurty1180]

Also it's hilarious how people actually think this is even a semi-realistic representation of what the sport is in real life. It's actually an arcade game with extremely good graphics...it belongs to the same genre as supermario or asphalt 9 - LITERALLY. It should be in an arcade machine. You should pay like a dollar to play it every time you want to kill a few minutes - that's how laughable this 'game' is.

Thanks for being our voice bro, everything you said was SPOT ON. EA just doesn’t care about the good chunk of the community that is trying to play the game without paying to win.

[@therealdefc]

You spoke the truth. I play this game for 20 years, I start with UT 2012-2014 and every year we got some issues, but this year is pure pain. I can't tell why, but its just pure RNG. I never was a pro gamer, but I was not bad at all and its okay to lose against good players, but this year is pure and endless pain. My players feel like rocks sometimes and in the next game, its a complete different game... that sucks so hard. What gets me the most is, that I always know what will happens next and I can't do anything against it. I just can't. People don't understand, what these feelings are... we love football, there are no other games you can play, so you are stuck on EA and you need to get through the same pain year for year. You can't stop, cuz you love football and every time you think you got the game, another RNG fucks you up. I feel you in every word. Best time in UT for me was around FIFA 14 to 17, I loved the 4321 with Musa, Ibarbo and Doumbia up front. No R1/RB dribbling, no shitty cutbacks, no RNG every time, just fun, offensive football and sick games. Why they destroyed it so much? I dunno...

[@rambojones8711]

Ya the good ole days

[@Plupert]

Spot on. Only edit I’d make is id include FIFA 18 in the good years as well. Took everything good about 17 and refined it. Like champs going from 40 games to 30

[@ersanyzn4356]

I remember in the golden days i was playing silver teams in Div 1 and having so much fun, winning against top OP meta teams was so enjoyable. Because the game was heavily based on skill, not anymore. Just like Nick said i see myself loosing against brain dead bots scoring 2 goals with 1 shot and having less then 30% possession. Meanwhile i have 15 shots 75% of them on target +70 possession and loose 2-1. Also when i'm leading up to 2 goals my players always start to act dumb and heavy. Loosing balls and passes are random, loosing tackles ect .. This game is pure torture you need to switch your mentality and accept the fact that this game has become pay 2 win and favors a lot brain dead people who knows nothing about football but spends tons of money. If we don't react properly as a community EA will make this game worse every year, this is only the beginning. And seeing all these trolls within the community i have little to no hope for the future of this game.

[@FābrïKKofficial]

Yeah I’ve been playing fut since fifa 12 and I really miss those days of having 81 rated players at this time of the year and your team is still meta. After this year I might just check out of fifa completely it’s the worst one by far and the constant promos and 2000-4000 point packs have truly fucked this game mode beyond belief.

I’ve played quite a bit of rivals over the last couple of days. Yesterday was to get the 7 wins n today was to get the 7 wins out of the way for the coming week. As much as EA and their bullshit over the last 12 years has infuriated me, the player base in general has too. In 12 games of rivals I had at least half of those opponents quit at a draw where I’ve come back in the game from down 1 or 2 goals. It’s pathetic that ea haven’t sorted this shit out. The more it was happening the last few days, the more it angered me. Happened a tonne in champs too over the last couple of weekends because I was using the 99 game loan vvd. People are so fkn weird, deliberately quitting just so my vvd runs out quicker. Ik this cuz it was happening way more than usual. After playing this game for 12+ years, I could genuinely write a book about the long history of this company/games’ problems. Sorry for the long af comment. Game had me frustrated today lol

[@Newmancrew]

And we all know what that is. Handicapping/DDA. Literally had a game where my Alisson didn’t use his hands and the other Alisson saved 10 point blank shots in the first half alone! Luckily I pulled away in the second half but they do that to keep people in games. Otherwise I’d be up 3-0 and he’d rage quit in the first 20 but that’s not enough for EA.

I agree with you. I haven’t spent a dollar on fifa points and my team is so far behind the power curve. In the beginning I had good pack luck but as time went on and I didn’t buy any fc points, I haven’t had a good pack pull in almost 2 months. Ea are trying really hard to get me to buy fc points. There has to be some sort of list or tracking system ea uses for players. I am on the verge of quitting the game. The only thing that’s kept me playing this long is that I just love football and want to play a football game. But I won’t spend a dollar on this shit. The way the whole system is built is just so dark and sickening, you either pay up or you can’t compete in this game. Wasn’t enough to milk 100 dollars from people

[@Incog800]

This is genuinely the worst fifa that has been released in recent years. The inconsistency is the only consistent thing in this game. The meta this year is to run to the byline and press x whilst your #9 patiently waits in the box, UNMARKED, whilst you could have two great CB’s with 90+ defending stats that just won’t mark up. Anyone can beat you whether they only started playing the game about a week ago or if they’re a fucking dog. The game decides who wins and who loses. The game doesn’t need basic football IQ anymore u just need to rely on the current meta + RNG. And the funny thing is, I’ll still buy EAFC 25.

[@gnadnerb]

Man I don’t even know what to do with this game. This is the first year I’ve ever had a negative overall win/loss record. Last year I was averaging 16-20 wins a weekend league. I’m in a fight for my life to get 9 wins… 9 WINS!?! POTM Mbappe was meant to be too expensive for most people to afford. WHY AM I FACING HIM EVERY GAME?! I’m not a skiller or dribbler. I like to play a simple passing game through the middle and break down my opponent. I CANNOT PLAY HOW I WANT TO PLAY. I’ve played the way I do for 10+ years and now it’s impossible and I can’t comprehend where I’m going wrong or how I’m losing. I’m going CRAZY playing this game

[@ProdFrreezi]

10:40 felt that so much its crazy, everytime i start this game, i go into a match and get pissed off within the first 20 ingame mins due to the stupid shit happening constantly, the amount of open goal misses is more so far this year compared to all last year no joke

[@tacomonster1856]

Another thing is the community where half of the players goal is to make their opponents gaming experience as miserable as possible. For example I played a 5 back rat cutting back every play and he went up 4-0 but I needed a goal with the Haaland for the obj. In the 90th minute he’s up 5-0 and I am through on goal and he takes a red card than let me get my goal with Haaland for the obj. Crazy.

I'm leading by 3 goals, and suddenly DDA kicks in, my players become literal food trucks, and enemy 700 coins thrashcan RW is running, dribbling, and shooting like a prime Dinho+R9+Mbappe combined. If the game wants to give the enemy a goal, you will 100% get scored. Literally.cant.do.anything.. On previous fifas, I was like a ~16 wins type player. This year, I feel like its predetermined if i win or lose when I press the advance button. And yeah.. One of my friends has 10mil team, I did a 19-1 wl on his account.

Haven’t spent a dime since but definitely invested a lot of time to learn the game and get to Div 6. tried WL for the first time, made finals and won 11. coasted against really weak opponents in retrospect. Since then, I’ve won once, with 30 or 40 draws or losses. I’m baffled. I hit the rat wall. Every game is the same. I packed Figo and Desially a while back through SBCs, they are no match for the same 5mil+ squads. Can’t win any headers against VVD, can’t pass accurately enough or find space to escape 71 depth press from 100 pace high/high wingers, can’t get past CDM Mabbpe, I’m going insane. Tried upgrading to meta players through icon SBCs, got absolutely garbage and dupe after dupe. I sold off my bench and am stuck with the crap 87-90 untradeable squad. The only solution is to buy fifa points and rip their packs. Why. Why. Why. I thought the grind would be worth it. All that fodder would turn to gold. That you could learn how to outplay someone. “Here’s some new meta tactics since the patch guys - well 71 depth is still broken but here’s a 20 step program you need to do in order beat it (if your lucky).

Man, I miss Fifa in the 2010s up to Fifa 14. I actually had fun playing online divisions, cutting through teams with scintillating triangles of quick passes. These days, I only play career mode on Fifa 23. So happy I didn't buy this edition of "EA FC" and won't be buying another edition until EA fixes their crap, which they won't, of course. They've destroyed Fifa just like they destroyed Need for Speed, still living in the shadow of the OG Most Wanted because no newer NFS game can measure up

Even when I win I know my opponent got screwed by some of the shit goals I score.

[@milan90ful]

Yup

[@SalvaPlaysHD]

Exactly. Some matches even I'm shocked by the bullshit I manage to score. It feels like nobody wins through skill, it's just a gamble to see who is favored by the game more and gets random bullshit in their favor

[@yourlord4096]

biggest issue is the overpowering of pace in the wings and the stupid cut backs...is sooo boring

[@Franciselshorty]

I might do that . I qualify for every champs this year besides this weekend . And that’s when I pack hamnn and eusebio . And they move like shit !!! In qualifiers !!!!! I try to make dribbles and skills but it Pushes me into my opponent defenders like a magnet

[@Cyber-Mario]

I watch Nick everyday and he is as toxic as the rest of the community. When he is winning he is toxic asf but when he is losing he is constantly crying about the game when other KZbinrs can constantly go 20-0 or 19-1. Maybe just adapt and be happy you’re making money from this game. Nothing is going to change this year.

[@lkhalil5181]

The PTW shit is so obvious. Use Pele, Mbappe, Jairzinho and just R1 through the whole defence like it wasn't even there. Just get the rebound ball back and continue dribble like a god

[@PH7OMG]

what’s even more painful is getting stuck in high divisions with all these meta rats, and having no choice but to continue playing in it because demotion doesn’t happen anymore, it’s horrible

Facts mate I sympathize with you.. To do this every day is a curse I swear. We have the luxury to not play if we don't wanna go through this shit.

[@nextdecember]

im a rank 4-5 champs player and rarely miss those chances in the box because of precision shooting. i've found precision shooting more rewarding because when i miss i know its my fault. im not saying that it doesn't have its moments of unexplainable misses, but 97% of those shots in the box will go in with precision shooting. most of my losses in champs are due to shocking defending, but precision shooting has been the wave this year

[@Marcus-wj5ju]

Yeah but we shouldn't have to do that, especially when it's a shot my grandma could score. We shouldn't have to adapt to.this terrible gameplay just because ea are lazy.

[@andygarcia4497]

Precision shooting is R1? Right?

[@birchlermuesli8932]

Yeah but finesses are quite a bit harder

[@cowboyorangesoda8408]

Shooting should be hard, in real life it's hard. It's too easy to score all things considered, which is why average games have 7/8/9 goals which is super rare irl

[@nextdecember]

its a setting that you enable. its essentially manual shooting@@andygarcia4497

[@nxt1990]

Not buying the past 2 FIFA's is the best decision i've made. These companies don't respect us nor do they care. Even small things like taking out the stadium practice arena's which were present in FIFA 2008 until like 2014-15 says a lot. Best case scenario is a small company releasing a low quality but fun free-to-play football game and FIFA fans jumping ship. The solution is easy, but carrying it out is very difficult.

[@luiscastillo7009]

not buying the game ever again to avoid all that rage and frustration

[@poptart2648]

Watched this live, truly an emotional, life changing experience for me

Appreciate u

[@sstandarsh]

The games are just slowly getting objectively worse in every way. Menus are a mess, FUT is the only finished mode & the gameplay keeps turning into more of a convoluted mess of exploits and cheap tactics by the year. One day a company who really wants to make a football simulation will come and run EAs bullshit excuse for one out of stores.

You are definitely speaking for the community and I am very grateful 🙏 that you can make us be heard ❤ ea has giving us the worst shit possible this year, the scripting is out of this world in this game! 🤬 broken menus, pathetic gameplay, no milestone rewards 😢 no more tokens grind... pack weight is fkg trash.. is an absolute p2w this year and the worst part is all matches are a sweat 😓 like wtaf ea??

[@zazazaza2150]

the last year i was playing with my stupid ass non-meta team created by my favourite footballers, and winning against best teams if i'm better than them. i was having fun. BUT THIS YEAR THO i have to use fucking meta players and i have no BUDGET to afford them cuz i'm ONLY paying for the game every year (so no additional things like fifa points) which is impossible to catch up which is again really and REALLY frustrating. no other game besides than ea fc 24 can't get me this angry and won't probably. having to lose to every meta team no matter how bad they are is fucking my calm ass up. so THANK YOU NICK FOR TALKING ABOUT THIS TOPIC AND SPEAKING THE FACTS.

who remembers the days in FUT Fifa11-FIFa15 when you just played the game for the sake of having fun. Now everyone is sweating their balls for rewards and repeat the cycle again and again to still play the same way. Anyone who is still playing this game needs to check for their mental health

[@g.e.1769]

I felt really good knowing that I am not crazy. Seeing a pro like Nick ranting and vexing, it means I am not crazy after all. EA FC 24 makes me feel like I am a social experiment, I swear. Thank God I am not the only one experiencing the nonesense in the game

[@ClaudioAguileraMunoz]

this is the first FIFA that I'm going to abandon in december since I played the first FUT in 2012. It is so sad, but it's affecting me mentally. I'll probably finish Zidane (one squad left), play Champions, lose stupid games against noobs / 5-back defenders and LW/RW doing cutbacks, and then finally retire. I play 4-1-2-1-2 narrow because I like playing FOOTBALL, but it's so annoying, the scripting is so evident, balls traspassing the foots and the heads of my defenders, tue cutback passes from the wings are impossible to intercept... I'm not even getting angry right now, in those particular games I know I'm going to lose as soon as I see 3 consecutive shoots to the crossbar from my Dalglish with 97 positioning and 99 finishing, I know I've already lost and then I just laugh with the scripting. So sad 😔

[@treymartinez7952]

Only KZbinr who gets it. Every other KZbinr has Mbappe, mia hamm, and pele and wants to say how good the game is. If I had any of these popular streamers teams I would absolutely wipe them but I’m struggling to get into division 4 because I get out teamed. The game is absolutely un bearable.

[@ChanchoWins]

So, as a new player to FIFA, FC or whatever it's called, my experience is that I can easily beat the AI in world class difficulty but when it comes to PVP I lose 90% of the matches. Most of my losses were over a 6 goal margin and I never got past division 8. I played for 2 months and then I decided to quit because online gameplay was always feeling janky, laggy, but mostly unfair.

[@therealslimgamey1]

What is really weird is that an explanation is required. There is literally no point getting frustrated or annoyed about a game that is basically a ganeplayers devil. Literally, this gane is made by the devil. Don't explain or give any emotion to it, or it will continue to breathe. The game is poor the gameplay is poor, the menus are poor, and the online experience is terrible. Pleaae. No don't think. It's evil made by the devil. This game online is the worst online gane in history. A game that is pay to win because it will script if you pay. Evil.

I tried efootball and the gameplay is always horrible. Ea does it better but BARELY. They need to fix their problems.

I've never quit a UT so early, they did nothing for months about gameplay, gave up in mid/late October. all that money they saved from not getting the fifa license, where tf did it go. the community dumps 100s of good ideas on ea every week and they don't follow any of them. its unbelievable

Honestly Nick I really appreciate you saying what needs said, I give up on this game a few weeks ago, it was actually after a win , I beat a real top top player with loads of BS , last year I was getting 9/11 and twice 14 wins this is my level but this year you can win against better players and lose to terrible players it’s just shocking, Fifa 23 had its problems but it was at least playable and sometimes enjoyable, this game is just unplayable.

[@cazaderon]

I hear you Nick and i feel the exact same way. Like, just as a perspective. On fifa 23, i played TWO rtgs account until TOTY was done. 2 weekend leagues, 2 sets of rivals, both going for elite division and a chill 14 W in WL. This game now ? I dropped the second account after 2 weeks. The main one ? I basically RQ some games to stay in division 2 at most to avoid the absolute rats i faced in season 1 in elite. The game is boring to no end, you re choked towards one type of goal 90% of the time except for the weird game you get once in a while where it seems you can finally a couple things differently. And i cant stress enough how much i relate to that feeling of loosing to trash players. I see some dudes not even using RS switching and still having their team stick to all my players. 90% of the lost balls are to AI players, especially attackers. There s absolutely nothing to save in this game. And as in all previous fifas, think back to the FIRST patch they released, increasing the jog speed of defenders. That change ruined everything and is what made the AI defense back to god mode. Priori to that patch, anyone that wasnt manually defending, flawed as it may be for years now, was getting absolutely ruined. So yeahw it s december, and i feel burned as if i had just done the 5 TOTS WL. Which btw i got rank 3/2/1/2/3 last year.

[@omarfigueroa3566]

Didn’t know shapeshifters promo was out yet nick is turning into inception

[@deluaro]

The passing is garbage too but not many people talk about that. Probably cus not many play the passing game, also probably because passing is ridiculous. In the attacking third of the pitch, I tapped pass to my player closest to me at my 6 o,clock, but somehow the ball whizzes all the way back to my goal keeper at 7 to 8 o,clock, gets intercepted by opposition striker and game over at 89th minute

[@branaldinho]

I understand the pain. I’ve done every icon pack sbc that has been released and still yet to pack one over 100k. Almost every player I come up against has at least 1 elite icon if not 2 or 3. Becomes a very difficult game when you’re playing people who auto tackle, auto block, auto intercept etc etc.
