My biggest issue with this years fifa is the passing, I never seen it go to the wrong person so often. Times where I put 3-4 bars of power on passing and they pass it 10 yards instead. I just don’t know how that aspect got worst.

Golden rule of FIFA: If you're one goal up, you're no goal up. Because you just know if there's only a gap of one, some BS is going to happen in those final 15 minutes.

[@peternorman1943]

If they have a kick off you're screwed

[@Amyante]

Not just that, you will almost inevitably have a fellow player run into you, or someone horribly mess up a pass around midfield ending up nowhere NEAR where you aimed it at. And that's the worst part. The part where the game takes control of the player you're controlling away from you in order to make the game more 'exciting'. Runs stopped for no reason other than to receive a bad pass from the AI, strikers ducking under the ball on the **6 yard line** because the game thinks the guy on the far wing was supposed to receive the cross, passes become through balls, through balls become passes etc. etc. etc... You cannot play 5 matches in a row without some flavor of BS happening. The game is rife with examples like this, and the fact that, for the past couple of years now, you'll get banned for bringing it up on the EA forums just so they can pretend it doesn't exist is telling. The state of the franchise is outright depressing. I just want to play a game of soccer, you know? One where i don't see my Player Career RTG League 2 club yeet the Spurs out of the FA Cup semis in their first season.

Fifa 22 was the first Fifa I stopped playing after a few months. What drove me crazy was the defense. That even the midfielder never takes up the opponents' runs. Which means that when the opponents reach one's penalty area, ends with a situation where your 4 defensive players must take care of 6-7 attacking players. Meanwhile your midfielders are just standing there, brain dead and watching.

One of my favorites is EAs “fix” for tackling is to put your player into a freeze or falling animation after they get tackled to prevent them from getting the ball back, but it only does that when it feels like it. I have lost count the amount of times I’ve stolen the ball from someone high up on the pitch only for their player to have insane recovery speed and beat my player to the ball somehow instead of rewarding me for stealing the ball from their defense

just conceded a goal where I read an opponents pass, my own teammate then tackled me, i still had the ball and then for some reason the ball just bounced off my foot and i then slid for it half a metre away and my leg seemed to get shorter, only for an opponent to chase it down fall over my leg and while falling execute a perfect through pass. I wish i was joking.

[@rumi2059]

Half the goals I conceded are a result of getting countered because the pass I intended isn’t what the game did, or my player dribbling with his body between the defender and the ball loses it as soon as he gets touched from behind.

[@LyricsManiacc]

The point you mentioned about interceptions and bounce backs is by far the most annoying one imo. So now the game doesn't autocorrect passes that much anymore (it still does way too often though). Great, but now instead of getting rewarded for reading and intercepting the pass the ball bounces back to the opponent or my player gets nutmegged for no reason. So the opponent gets a second chance or even more. By far the most frustrating part imo as it happens so often. Also I'm curious if FUT Champs will be more sweaty now with the new ranking system. On the one hand you can now qualify more easily so there will be more casuals in the wl but on the other hand there are better finishes than 16-4 now which will make good players sweat for their life. If it turns out to be more sweaty we're doomed.

[@martinpro4967]

Same here, interceptions (and not interceptions because of AI passes) and the bounces from crappy interception animations or tackles just ruined it for me, I only play Wednesday to get my silver star, that's it.

[@TeCappa]

@@martinpro4967 it goes beyond that, you intercept and the ball lands back at the opponents feet while he is in a more favourable position. It's like he did a give and go with your player, or whats worse is it lands to the oppositions player whos in a better position all together. Outright ridiculous. If were all spamming driven shots the ball shouldn't be going through us or lands kindly back to the opponent but should go wildly in random spots. so if you intercept the ball should go far and random in the general direction youre facing. But up high in the air

[@beulahnick]

You can test the automatic bounce back quite easily if your opponent stops playing. If you try to take the ball without pressing tackle, 90% of the time (unless you're spot on with collecting it) it will rebound at a strange angle to one of the opponent's other players. I wonder if it has something to do with needing a perfect tackling angle, therefore in the heat of the moment in live gameplay you're being penalised for any lag where what seems like a legitimate tackle is actually suboptimal and therefore plays out as a bad tackle?? I have games where it goes for me but lots more where I just can't get the "rub of the green" and its futile.

[@chikish]

I play on PS4 and pretty much only career mode. I was surprised to see how badly they messed up the gameplay this year.. The difficulty levels are broken, with Professional being way too easy and World Class being super unfair. The AI always has the advantage when there's a loose ball or a rebound. Your AI controlled players are constantly out of position leaving HUGE gaps in defense, and since opposing AI players are always faster, the AI just counters the crap out of you spamming long balls down the wings. Now if the AI plays down the middle, then it's literally just straight ground passes through the center of the pitch because your AI controlled players just stand around gazing at the opposing AI player dribble right past them (even with pass block assistance turned on). This all leads to every match becoming a ping pong match because the AI forces you to play the same way _it_ does since that's the only way you might have a chance of scoring.

Luckily i got fifa 22 for free with ps+ so i tried another youth academy road to glory career with a selfmade league 2 team. Of course the team is very bad so i play on professional and it’s still challenging. I had a enjoyable 1st season and promoted, and that’s when the scripting bs took flight.

[@jant8841]

i play only carrermode too. I have the same problems as you, but one of my worst problems is the striker positioning. He just stops running with the attack or stands around the midfield.

Corners and chip shots are so broken it’s embarrassing. Goalkeepers do not make sense in this game

[@FuriousDave]

I have one complaint which no ones talked and doesn’t seem to get much attention, but for me is massive. The blatantly programmed “freeze” that my player does when a tackle is coming in. It’s so painfully obvious. I press pass or I try to move the stick, and my player goes unresponsive. It’s only for a fraction of a second but it’s there. It’s there to allow my player to be tackled. I love possession football. Not for possession sake, I like to pass the ball forwards instead of trying to exploit some kind of broken pass or skill move. I want to be able to tiki taka my way into the opponents box and string some quick fire close range passing together, but I can’t. I can’t because my player has to freeze whenever my opponent presses the tackle button. Edit: When we see these glitch videos where the player stops on the spot for a few seconds, that’s the freeze I’m talking about. It’s the programmed freeze but it’s bugged and ended up lasting longer than intended.

That problem is going to last as long as EA sticks to the animation Frostbite uses. It´s pretty much a red line of that problem trough all of EAs sports games, like Madden and NHL too.

[@DonPasquale_]

Just to offer an alternate take, I haven't played since FIFA 17 and I'm loving almost every minute I play of 22. I find even the simple things like just moving my player around to be so much more enjoyable than in the previous FIFAs (also playing on Xbox Series X, which feels like a huge step-up to me compared to the One). While all of your complaints are valid points, almost all of them were definitely present to some degree in the older FIFAs as well. So I think that while I don't have the perspective of the last 4 games to directly compare, I'd imagine a lot of your negative impression of the game is probably related more to burnout than anything else. After what I assume are several years in a row of grinding the game and dealing with each FIFA's individual nonsense, I can see how it would be incredibly easy to get burnt out and fed up. That's why I took so many years off playing and probably won't be buying FIFA again for another few years after this one.

I’ve played fifa on and off going over a decade now. So so SO many hours spent on these games. I’d say I’m fairly average, I don’t claim to understand the styles of play and gameplay metas, but I’ve always been fairly decent. In previous games, they were annoying to lose, but it never seemed like the game was actively trying to stop me winning. Shooting and Goalkeeping, one of these two is completely awful and I can’t tell which. I’ve had xg of 6 consistently, about 15 shots a game, and have lost so many times 2, 3, 4 nil to people who have about 5 shots. The keeper can save the titanic sometimes, and other times, I kid you not, has saved the ball going straight at him, hitting the post on the deflection and then bouncing off his own head in to the Goal. Sometimes the keeper seems to have a stroke, I should probably start aiming at defenders to abuse the awful deflection system. Corner after corner stopped on the line, but I can shoot from outside the box finesse and it goes in nearly every time????? The bounce back system is either complete bullshit, or it’s the most clear scripting I’ve ever seen in a game. I never bought in to that argument for previous fifas, but you can literally feel a shift in the game randomly, where every pass will go to an opponent, players stop finding space, and every block goes straight back to the opposition. I can be all over a guy but be only leading 1-0, for nearly every time to concede in the last minute for what can only be assumed as intentional drama situations, because of the bounce back moments. Don’t even get me started on the bullshit meta as well, what’s the point in even trying when every single person on the game has the same French squad variation with the SBC Benzema, Kante, varane etc. I spend ages building a team not spending real cash to be out done by some guy who sat on the market all the day buying and selling for his SBC. I genuinely think it’s the worst feature they have ever added to fifa, worst than the price ranges

Sorry for the rant if anyone read that but I just want the old fifas back, where it was fair, ultimate team had only some real money spending teams but not often, the commentary and soundtrack was better, and even looked better visually .

You nailed it. Honestly I think there is something to do with the online coding that breaks fifas coding to do with randomness / animations. Some games I’ll go in and anything that could go wrong does, as if everyone of my players is being hassled by two defenders (even when there is no one around them) Misplacing 3 metre passes, passing miles when you just tapped on the button. Doing a air pass when you only when for ground, taking a huge bad touch when the ball was practically stationary when it gets to his feet. Being literally unable to control and being down a ball somehow managing to miss control a chest down 20 feet to their striker. Strikers snatching at shots even when you give them time and space while the opposition can curl them in wrong footed with a 3 star weak foot player with under 70 shooting. Played for the first time in weeks yesterday and my goal keepers arm glitched out so it looked like it was broken so he tried to grab the ball one handed (needless to say he didn’t catch it or even change the direction - goal) I don’t see it as a built in momentum issue but the inconsistency in gameplay has been an issue for years. It’s as if the sliders for which you get to play on are randomised (if you play single player you know)

[@lulafidalgo6877]

Great videos as always bro.. IMHO the thing with the finishing in the box is not the OP keepers individually. What i realized is that assistance helps you in some areas and harm in others. In this case, the shooting assistance changes the direction of the ball (in comparison to where you aimed) to a place that the keeper can reach - a contrary situation you mentioned whit the passing system. My conclusion is that the games balance all the base aspects accordingly to its own needs, to fit a bad coding. Is a lot easier to program something automatic than random situations.

[@exite4324]

For me this is the most enjoyable FIFA in years. I do agree with all of your points tho, but the bullshit in the game will always be there and it has been there for years. Ive learned to accept it. Sometimes it will be against you, sometimes it will help you. The only 2 things in this game i really dislike is the bullshit corner glitch, which is litteraly undefendable, and constant pressure. Sometimes im in complete control of a game for 60 minutes, but after that i cant manage to get a single pass to a teammate because of AI interceptions. Other than that, i actually enjoy the game this year. Might also help im a lot better at it then previous years

@@RealistGunner i said it is the most enjoyable FOR ME. Im actually quite good at this game, because using football IQ i can actually score goals with nice passing play, which is very refreshing for me. Last year literally every goal i scored and conceded was just skillmove spam hoping to glitch through the defence. No FIFA game will be perfect. FIFA 22 is also far from it, it has a lot of issues too. But in my opinion the issues are a lot less annoying then years before

[@exite4324]

@@RealistGunneryoure completely free to disagree. Im not having too much trouble with finishing tbh. Its all about learning the mechanics of the game. I know exactly how to shoot and when to shoot by now. Cutting inside on your strong foot? Power shot near post. On the outside on your strong foot? Power short far post. Have a bit of time and space when going one on one with the keeper? Ball roll around him and score. Obviously bullshit still happens, but what works really well for me is to really focus and try to take note of the angle you shot from when you score, and try to replicate it next time. And even though i have alot of 5* skillers in my team, i still think good passing plays should be more effective to score then just glitching through. Last year i lost a lot of times even though i was clearly the better player, while this year that has only happened on a few occasions

Got FIFA with the ps plus. I know it's late and so most teams on FUT have good players. For me the most frustrating thing is matchmaking. The teams I'm playing against have all special pack players and I am still with a majority rare gold players. I feel like most of the time I'm losing because individual players on the opposition side is just too good. Shots from outside the box or very tight angles just go in. I find this so unfair.

[@tomasarctur7355]

After two weeks playing I'm just damaging my mental health! Fut is so ridiculous. It's okay to loose, but the way the game is structured it makes you vomit! Loosing contrasts like never before. Players running on the line are unstoppable no matter how you tackle it. The worst part is the selection! I can't select the player I want, and although I put a defensive mode, the midfielders never help the defenders. The tackle in the area is so bad. Also FUT is definitely for people who spend money on it! Sometimes I dominate games against all icons, shoot 20 times, ball possession 65% and I can't score, then they do 3 shot and 3 goals. It's infuriating. This is the last fifa I bought! Not worth your mental health

Well said bro. Theres no beauty in the game any more. Its just people abusing broken mechanics and using the fastest, "meta" players to run like headless chickens for 90 mins. Tired of this bs.

Exactly this is what always in comments is missing. Game always getting dumber and dumber. You have to peak the teams with fastest player and hold the sprint and go through the defenders Playmaking and thoughtful football is in fifa a joke.

[@panosgiannakakis5532]

Excatly as you say in the video. Also In previous fifas (18) you could get to a point where you could control your players perfectly -like you had the shoes of your player in your hands-, which was a really satisfying and enjoyable experiance no matter the result. Now It's like a constant struggle to stop your players from sliding around and doing unnecessary moves, you never ordered in the first place ( and of course I have cont. agile dribbling off). Or you have your players momentarily freeze after the smallest of touches, like wondering what to do, "hmm, Shall i pass or not?", waiting for the defender to block them. As for me, for the shake of practice, I play a lot of squad battles legendary and it seems like the most important skill of all is right stick switching, which is, of course, absolutely important, but is it a satisfying game experience? Switching players and keeping shape, waiting? For how long? For how many rebounds? For how many ridiculously failed passes? And I'm winning and there's not the slightest of smile in my face. It's only "you f@ckin ridiculous thing they somehow call football". And there are other aspects too that make me really wonder if people at EA have ever watched football. Dribbling backwards, changing direction with no respect to physics-gravity-momentum, psychotic n@zis as defenders-ballerinas. Where have they seen these? Really! And not to speak of the crooked math -where one side gets error to the max, in shooting, passing whatever. All in all, Fifa22 feels more like an unpleasant duty than a game.

Another thing computer controlled players for squad battles can keep momentum and slide tackle in any direction regardless of physics and can also stop to stand tackle in the same way too even if they are looking away at full sprint. Its bs

Hi stallion, I think u forgot to mention 2 things on the defending aspect. The AI is corrupt in a sense where many goals that I and many concede are due to the cb’s randomly drifting when you’ve positioned a player so that they don’t have to do so. Goalkeepers are either hero or zero. And the most important thing is rebounds, lately in fifa I’ve conceded stupid goals due to rebounds from a good block as well as me scoring goals that should’ve been blocked successfully and not bounce back to an opponent. Only thing I will always argue for fifa 22 is that it has the best display menus however that’s about it. Also petition to bring back fifa 18 pitches

It's not going to change whilst they stack billions on billions so the only hope is for new titles to reset the direction of football simulators.
