[@Jay_Don_OG2563]

I also noticed that when you try to intercept a ball after you predicted where your opponent is gonna pass it the automatically move you in a different direction that makes you less likely to intercept it. There are times when I even called out where he passing it and I run to that direction, the moment I'm close to getting the ball I lose control over the player completely and I regain control when I miss the intercept. Another annoying thing too is when your opponent kicks the ball to you and instead of controlling the ball it just bounces off my player at a high velocity. The ball was kick very softly so how tf the ball bounces of my player's feet and ends up all the back to my opponent?

[@DanielGoward-y4s]

One of my most infuriating things about it is the AI bailing out bad players. I'm a very manual defender. It's ridiculous that you're more likely to intercept the ball if you let the AI do it instead of manually. In the aspas bad touch example. The AI defender runs back and wins the ball for him while he's controlling the wrong player. Everything feels designed to make the games more random so that average players keep playing. Then they think they're a good player and griddy on you when they finally get a chance to score and get a fluke win.

[@AManCalledDutch]

This is the most important thing missing from this video. I couldn’t agree more with you. In other EA titles - eg Madden - you get boosts to interceptions for manually controlling your players (in this instance corner backs). The thing is, incentivising AI use and people will just spam the use of certain mechanics. I’m also amazing this guy didn’t cover the abuse of crossing and long balls in this game. Defenders in good positions become redundant just because a moronic opponent has predictably lumped the ball for the 500th time in the game and your perfectly placed defender is beaten in the air by someone 3 feet shorter than him.

I love the video. The tackling is the worst part of the game. The ball having such a high chance of going back to the tackled player means that not only are you punished for making a well timed tackle but the opponent can be massively rewarded if the subsequent bounce takes your defender out of the game. Fix it! Goal keeper movement is just entirely stupid. If they move the keeper, a fake shot (not shot cancel - the fucking actual fake shot) should make them dive out of the way. That would be balanced. Attacking AI being terrible is the only reason pressing is seen as strong. Leave pressing, fix the damn AI. The only thing I disagree with you on is the ball control - it doesn’t matter if you control it with the thigh or foot. In fact, it’s easier to control the ball with your thigh in real life. The problem is that he flicked up when you didn’t do that. The other problem is the sprinting 180 spin passes you can do that are literally impossible in real life. Fix it all!

I mean for example a situation where you are marking an attacker with your center back, expecting a pass so you can intercept it. Then just as the pass is released, your CB is drawn into a collision animation which you have absolutely no control over. So you CB stumbles and moved away from the passing line, effectively leaving the attacker (who doesn't stumble) wide open to receive the pass.

[@NATTOP]

Absolutely agree with every statement. The only reason i find for them to do it is - game would be so much easier if they would not make it hard, lol. Otherwise, why would they make those feroucious equiliser scripts for the AI on Legend and Ultimate difficulties? They simply got no other way to impact the gameplay than to script it or somehow randomise. It has so much stupid stuff going on in the game its ridiculous.

Most of the autoassist problems such as passing/crossing/switching would've been solved if you disabled it, but then default passes on your side of the field would become meaninglessly hard. they simply can't find the sweet spot to work it through.

It’s all very frustrating and puts me off playing it to be honest.

[@gladiatorscoops4907]

The artificial difficulty spike is what's known as: Negative feedback loops - so you notice them especially in football games such as PES and FIFA. For me I can tell you in PES 30 seconds before the AI opponent is going to score from a number of different behaviours that are quickly exhibited: - They walk through my tackles and my players bounce off them even if mine are bigger stronger players, - AI opponent are always first to get the ball back, or worse still my player will just pass it back to them - AI controlled players will be faster than my players, even if the stats show this is wrong - I wont be able to select the player nearest the ball that has the potential to intercept leaving the AI controlled player to score Funnily enough if the score is so far ahead that the computer team won't ever catch up I dont get any of these issues, but if the score is just different by a goal then these behaviours kick in. It has been a major problem for years in these games, instead of actively creating systems that raise the difficulty up more naturally they nerf the players ability and inflate the ability of their players to an unrealistic level. For the player It is infuriating and many many controllers and TV's have been broken as a result of this lazy game development.

This dude says exactly what I try to tell my pro clubs buddies, there’s so much scripting in this game it’s so obvious now… The playstyles made the game so stupid tbh my character can’t intercept a simple pass just cause I don’t have intercept equipped? Seriously???

[@blankfacekillah1013]

Bro people miss these details. Something I've noticed is the better a goalie is the more likely you are to hit the bar and miss

[@Danlife112]

@@blankfacekillah1013 yes and it’s like when you shoot with Mbappe the Goalie just loses his stats

My evolutions player needs two rival wins to complete levelling up. Since that point, the scripting against me has been insane.

[@hadifelani]

I have several questions: 1. In Manager Career mode, when we simulate the match, are we still stuck with 2D table-top view (FM style) or now we can actually watch the match live like PES's Master League mode? 2. In Player Career mode, do we still can't specify which team we want to try moving to (like PES's Become A Legend mode) and can only rely on random offers? Will we stuck with a single team that won't let us go no matter what if we're one of those important players? 3. Are we still limited to 10 years on both modes?

[@3bdo1995276]

Keeper movement is the worst thing they added to the game… cutbacks are trash too

[@hellothere2596]

If you can’t move the keepers than you are at the mercy of whether or not your GK decides to play that match or not.

[@Cbjfg_Cliff]

@@hellothere2596yeah but I also don’t want goal keeper blocking my wide open shot that dose not make sense I wanna feel rewarded not see all my wide open shots blocked like nah .

[@bevcito]

I agree with all your points besides your take on being able to manually move goalkeepers because it serves as a last resort method of defending that I feel has a very balanced risk to reward ratio. If you move your goalie the perfect amount in the right direction with good timing it results in getting the block 9/10 times however though if on the contrary if you move your goalie too soon or too much then the punishment is conceding by leaving your opponent with a free empty net. In my opinion this is very balanced given the fact this takes a fair amount of time and practice to be able to consistently pull it off.

[@DagnalDiagonal]

My issue is that it takes what should be the highest skill gap in the game and crushes it. The hardest part should be crafting a shot, so if I'm able to perfectly pass my way through, think of the move 3 or 4 passes in advance, that's the skill gap and I should be rewarded. On the flip side, if my opponent is really bad and consistently drags players out of position to leave me through on goal, he should be punished. My whole stance is basically the fact that crafting a chance and going through the defense takes vision, passing, thinking ahead, essentially the most skilled part of the game. All that can be taken away because the opponent guesses which way I shoot. Either way, someone can move their GK the wrong way and still not be punished so it needs at least a nerf I appreciate the comment! Thank you for watching!

[@Kosmas...]

I thought i was going crazy.. i've been playing fifa since fifa 14 and since then i havent missed any but this years fifa had me paranoid over the fact that i couldnt play well. The passes were off to random and tackling was weird allong side the game changing my player on its own without me pressing L1. Also the goalkeeper moving thing is broken as f, even a 99 shooting player can miss a relative easy goal. They made ultimate team too easy to get good players, im on day 4 on ea fc and i already have 3 icons on my attack, back in the days to get three icons i had to grind at least two whole months and thats if im lucky enough. Overall i feel like the franchise sooner or later gonna take a turn like Pro Evollution Soccer did and basically kill it self.

[@Teejaywrld]

Something i see no one talking about is the menu constant glitches i cant claim my players. It says objective complete (new level) i check i did not go up any level. Or wanting to advance to start the game but it freezes and it wont let me in the game because the X button is not responding. Constantly having to close and re load the game. Really gives me a distaste for fifa because i haven’t played since 17

[@picdu2891]

What's even more frustrating is that apparently this happens in any game mode. I hate ultimate, I don't like playing against CPU, so I stick to online seasons. I can win 20 games in a row (some, knowing I didn't deserve to), and then lose 20 in a row through a combination of never-ending rebounds, Lev Yashin worthy games from my opponent's goalkeeper, and my players becoming suddenly anemic. I don't mind staying in division 3, or 4, or whatever. Just make it consistent.

[@L7cke]

Ah, this explains why my defenders are either lockdown specialists or leave a wide net and why the attacking AI can't go on a basic run. Made me feel crazy ngl, but now I know it's partially not my fault.

[@RespecTheLevYT]

Makes me question if EA actually even bother playtesting this game before it is released. Always something wrong. Game’s never properly polished

[@shadownight9956]

At this point i am content if japanese devs make future FCs and plague it with RNG within RNG rather than the current script bullshits

[@sopes247]

How come attacking AI was better on fifa 17 than it is now?

[@FakuaBlock]

Very fair and reasonable approach to your critique. One thing iv been begging for recently is having an indicator to when the tide is turning X or Y way. Let us know when we will see more mistakes and let us have a manner to fix it.

[@FlyNoFeathers]

I agree with this rant 😅 I had to step away from this game. Btw click L3 when receiving a pass in the air to bring it down quickly. R3 will some type of flick up.

[@TraceKot]

The worst part is the damn jam man like I have to tackle some players 4-5 times to get the ball because they always get the ball back somehow after the tackle. I notice this especially with cards like Leao for example. And don't get me started on the buggy red cards.

[@nabilelhank4050]

DDA stands for ‘Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment’. The phrase is quite complex, but it simply means a mechanic within a game’s code that can adjust certain gameplay aspects to make it more difficult, or easier, for players to carry out certain actions. In short, a player dominating a match could see DDA make their gameplay less fluid and more prone to error in order to balance the match they are playing. A player struggling in a game may find their gameplay made more fluid to have the opposite effect.

[@fenix182]

The lack of Keeper rush/lack of movement in FC 24 is so frustrating.

[@luciofilipe]

and this is why old fifa's on ps3 era were the best ones, fluid and fast gameplay with minimal stupid animations.

[@kristoffchris]

happened to me yesterday, crossed it to haaland ucl 94 who was in the box, i pressed to shoot but somehow the game decided that haaland needs to turn away from the goal, let the ball pass him like 1-2 meters and only than try to to shoot with the ball nowhere near him making him do a 360 and fall, the ball than gets to my winger salah who instead of taking the ball to his feet, he lets the ball go through his legs. after that, the enemy defender gets the ball, i make a standing tackle with salah, i take the ball but salah fals to the ground, the defender turns around runs for the balls trips over salah, salah gets up trips over the defender, the two of them making a loop that repeats like 3 times, finally sallah gets the ball, crosses it in the center to haaland, haaland turns again and the ball hits his back, enemy defender gets the ball and cleares it with such power that it gets to the enemy attacker at the half line, runs through my van dijk and maldini, shoots, casillas saves the shot, the rebound goes right to the enemy attacker who shoots again and scores. I swear this kind of things happen to me a lot, and if it was really a skill based game and scripted things like these wouldn't exist, i would lose only 1 out 20 games

This has been the most accurate video I have seen on this shit... the amount of green timed shots I send off the post makes it look like an art. Penalties are atrocious as well.

[@zena8694]

there is a reason why i always say fifa is not a skilled game and havent been for the last 6 years, everything goes on luck. Fifa is like gambling but instead of money you gamble your time instaed. The last fifa that was actually skilled was fifa 18 cause the only broken thing that game was low driven shot which you had to be inside the box to score, Now if you are good at defending dosent matter cause people take finesse from 30 yards and score, Also very funny how others son and salah are so much better to shoot with the finesse shot+ then my own

[@complex12191]

Bruh i was division 4 and close to division 3 as soon as all those op team of the season cards came out i cant even win a game and dropped to division 5 im getting frustrated 😂. I wish i could have 5mil coin players too 😅 they need to make this game about skill and not money its dumb but i refuse to quit 😭 great vid 🫡

[@royaltyshittu4753]

What I hate the most is correctly guessing where my opponent is going putting in a correct time tackle and the opponent just uses Aura to get the ball back. And we also forget to see how icon cards can tackle you clean off the ball from behind you

[@dio_verse]

you need to use controlled sprint to dummy and L2 to position your player. They stressed the on-ball movement is all, its a lot.

[@brunospfc3]

Thank you for such a detailed video! Let's hope EA fix those problems...

[@MrEagorath]

also noticed if you have sub 90.. like 88 ballcontrol.. sometimes if the lofty pass does not go over your head, it ends up hitting your player, (you get locked with the player so you can't controll it) and the AI forces you to just run straight ahead and get hit by the ball and lose out on the oppourtunity. half the time if you run at a pass going A to B and try to intercept it in the middle (remember straight line after the ground), the AI forces you, the player to watch your "I anticipated it" but AI dumb and puts it's foot out in a 45 degree angle.. so in technicality.. the (lets say right foot) would be in the same position if you ran 0.5 meters futher to the right instead.. and not actually reaching OUT TOWARDS THE BALL... granted, they fixed a lot of issues with the noodlefoot tackles.. but it is still such an annoyance.. where the AI tackle you in a way that just aint physically possible.. literally putting their foot through your model (not clipping you a little), full on impales you to just get ballcontrol... also annoying when you with a 5'6 player have speed, agility, dribbling, ball control and balance.. run and the AI anticipates your halt (lets say down the wing), manages to read your "half and shift direction) with the likes of Harry "the snail" Maguire, not only does it read your "half and change of direction" but it has the audacity to imply Maguire has the the stats in that situation, to halt 0.2 seconds before me, read the directional change before I do it and ground tackle me before my speedy gonzales player can do the movements... it's fuckin' absurd

[@bigload6]

Goal keeper movement is one of the best features they added tbh, as you said should be easy to pick up hard to master. Adds to the skill gap. The problem is the random no calls or fouls that aren't fouls. The passing always seems a little off randomly some games, shots that should never go in going in.

[@ColdBuro]

Bro, in practice before match day, dude just sits around the defender and whenever I pass it gets cleared out, I even tried the “set up run” button, still didn’t work. And the knock on is very broken, I shifted my joystick straight forward, ends up knocking straight towards the advertisement board. One time, the ball literally phased through Foden, and this is crazy, I was right behind Foden, phased through him, hit my shoulder (not the upper arm or lower) and we conceded that penalty. (Edit: I found out how to use the knock on, you have to flick in the direction you’re going.)

[@gameaddictgonewild777]

Since i started going outside again i really disgust gaming, especially EA, but that is nothing new. Ive reached the point where i value my mental more than my entertainment. Going outside again is healing me. Just a bummer i spend a lot on the game thinking this year they will be changed. Its my mistake i know. I should have known better. I play fifa since 01, but i am at the point where i just want to go and leave this whole gaming cancer setup behind me.

[@Yumasmt]

Whenever a player from the other team is in form in career mode my defence just gets clumsy, it doesn't matter if i have a 3x champions league winner with 96 overall or a defender that i've been loaning out from the start of the career.

[@freddyromerorodriguez6346]

I have a concern to be winning on future champs 5 games in a row and I keep consistently have the same level but for some magical reason my players start getting lazy my defense are acting stupid and the shoots are all saved even the ones that usually can’t be stopped also those are save for the keeper, the end of the story can’t reach 14 wins when I see myself at the level to be winning 16 games a least .

[@richardmtango]

Very nice review bro. For it is the God level anticipation that the CPU have both, on career mode or regular kick off game. They know exactly where you will be passing even when you have three teammates as passing options. It is almost like they read your button pressing.

[@maximc9033]

I agree with everything apart from moving the keeper. I think that if you get good at using the keeper manually you deserve those extra saves. Plus, a skilled player can easily spot/anticipate keeper movement and then simply ball roll one way to score. The things that really bug me now for example is when agile dribbling and going in and out of sprint a player will forget the ball or I request a pass or shot but the player takes a whole year to execute and the path of play has therefore changed.
