WTF is going on with EA FC 25?

[@craftytaha555]

I’m tired of this. I want to come home from whatever I am doing and play with my friends. But this game isn’t a casual game anymore. Without following a meta, being ratty and sweaty and grinding, this game is *SO* unfun. It is also so bad with the gameplay. Heck, even with a meta and sweat this game is SO UNPLAYABLE. The promos are so bad with the pack weight. The only way to pack someone good is to send your income and life savings to buy promo packs. AND SOME OF US CANT DO THAT!! THIS GAME NEEDS TO IMPROVE *ASAP*

And then they actually let you pay a full amount for this game. Without the option to grind te game. so technically you pay for acces, not even to play the game.

A million issues on this game, but I think the biggest in my opinion has to be the reliance on abusing broken in game tactics to succeed. I was lucky enough to pack Vini last week when he was 1.4 million coins and was so pumped to use him. But unless I’m annoyingly holding lb/L1 until someone presses and then just speed boosting around them, there’s hardly any difference between him and my Rashford evo that cost like 50k. Every champs game is either people speed boosting and shot canceling, or running straight down the line and passing in the box from the baseline. I really enjoy trading and have 3 million in the account right now and see no reason to upgrade anything since I’m just trying to play tiki taka. Decided I’m just going to do a Madrid past and present with Benz and Ronaldo up top to make it feel like it is Fifa 17 again.

[@thrasherdave1428]

[@chensways]

To be honest, I hope that UFL will make EA look into the mirror and scratch their backs so bad. Because they need to indeed make a huge change in the game and add more things that will get everyone excited. Lets say for example: Co-op Weekend league, where you and a friend of yours can play the game together and get rewards together with maybe a way that you can both combine your teams and play with the best of each others Ultimate team. And just simple the option to play 2v2 with friends without having to crack a difficult code and just normally invite the ones you want to play against. And for sure I would like to see more tournaments stuff inside Ultimate Team with the theme of the real life football events like the Champions League. EA has the licenses right correct me if I'm wrong but it would be fun to actually play a Champions League theme game mode inside or outside Ultimate team to get packs, coins, and maybe special cards: UCL,UEL, and Conference League. Online career mode: Just like the mobile app OSM where you can invite each other in 1 or more competitions and just play against each other. But then that you can actually play the game if you want and control your players like you have now in career mode obviously. But with the option to sim if you should schedule a match against a friend of yours for example. so if lets say 1 of you guys is Liverpool and the other is Man Utd and 1 cannot play at the date that your match is scheduled the games gets automatically simmed. But if you were both down to play against each other. You just play vs each other like a normal match. And maybe for the ones without friends that you have the ability to join other career modes from people around the world. And of course just realistic fun and simple good gameplay. With more details to the players especially the players in the spotlights like Icons, heroes, and big stars that are still playing in real life to take it to the maximum level of making them unique as possible. Just like E football is doing with bringing out cards like Lionel Messi '09 that looks exactly like how he looked in 2009. I think if EA would do that as well it would be a lot more fun to play with certain types of cards especially flashbacks cards or other promos where you see that on the cards itself for example Mbappe his TOTY Card where he had blue hair that you will see him play with blue hair if you have his TOTY and if you have the normal one just his normal color hair so that the card is made special in a different kind of way then they are doing now already. I don't know about you guys but in my opinion this would make the game way more fun to me. Ps sorry for the long bible text😂

Instead I saw I was 2-2. No disconnects, I have cross play turned off. Lost the last game. Players just sit back, spams tackle, first time through ball, power shot, corner glitches, trevalla and finesse spams to win a game. There's a reason they give you bad fodder when you grind the game, forcing you to buy store packs to do SBC's or get good cards. It's a shambles. Going to play seasons or career mode and give pro clubs a go. Fifa 17 was the best Fifa for me. How can a game that was released 8 years ago be better than the current game.

Even my brother said he reported a problem on the pc with FIFA last year. There was no comeback from him in what he said. to me, he said it was totally unplayable and they didnt do nothing about it and he said he would never buy the game again after that.

They dont want you to grind fodder. They want you to BUY fodder in the store with your money. Thats the only thing they care about.

Lol so ironic a fc25 critique sponsored by a coin provider when it's the ultimate team and coins that have got us to this situation

[@Rossa4444]

I’m surprised it has taken this long for the penny to drop

Casual player here. This was the first time I ever played a football game, after finding Fifa 20 in my basement and having fun playing it. I absolutely agree with the facts in this video, I've never touched Champs in my life because I struggle with winning Div 7 Rivals games. My pack luck has been decent(best pull 91 Mbappe) but coming from somebody who has played other EA titles before, I would say the gameplay and content is the worst i've seen ever.

[@SeanReid86]

I brought the game at the weekend. Starting UT is a chore and the slow gameplay doesn’t help.

[@prbl1259]

Genuine question from someone who quit this game midway through last year: When do you guys actually call it a day with this game? Because they’re mugging you off every time you play it.

[@youvebeengamed7019]

Also the last thing EA want you to do is build your team with SBC player, as then there is no reason to buy packs and spend your money. That is also why the pack weight this year is so bad. Again if people are packing ungradable player to go in your team why pay for these packs on the store.

Greed, Complacency & more Greed. Welcome to EAFC25!

[@angrymanczard9092]

This video is exactly why I’m not entertaining FUT this year and just playing pro clubs, the gameplay isn’t much different, the connections are shocking but it’s not as stressing lol

[@Lacabra825]

A big L also is how they took off tactic customization and implemented the player roles. They could've kept the tactic customization and also add the player roles but now that's gone. Also, they took away the Center Forward position. Crazy.

[@saadmasood6646]

Feels like gameplay changes everyday Was playing fut champs this week everything was fast good touches just played rival today everything is so slow players take ages to turn

[@rome4210]

it is players fault, stop buying it every year, I played last year after a coupke of years without doing and wont play it again ever.

[@yuzejia6895]

No check point from D2 to Elite is absolutely insane! What is EA thinking? Not everyone is pro please.

[@alexj4601]

I played a game today and lost 7-1. I was so close to messaging my opponent to rematch as I felt every goal was gifted to him and I there was nothing I could do about it. Luckily I matched him a few games later and I was winning 5-0 within the first 30mins and could have gotten to double digits if he didn’t rage quit. I honestly think the game predetermines a winner and will do everything in its power to make such they win.

[@michaelperdue4540]

Man I called you out last year in a live for opening fut point packs but credit where it is due, fair play for this video Matt standing up for the community 👏👏👏

[@oliwierczekalski-gk]

I don't know how it is possible, but I have 14 ping every single game and guess what, I am lagging, I am lagging so hard that I am rage selling my team each weekend league, if EA don't fix this I am going to uninstall it forever.

[@doctnyc]

I play Fifa since 1998.. Never a pro just an average player. My son 15 years old now plays too and he is far better than me.. He started complaining about the new OLED 120HZ TV set we bought.. He said there is a hughe delay dad on this TV.. I was wondering what the hell he was talking about.. Now I got it.. It is the Server.. Your review is GREAT, well done.

[@Gius3pp3K]

Brilliant video Matt covering several of the major issues

[@christianthe18]

I'm currently doing a Ruben Amorim Manchester United career mode and for some reason Ruben Amorim looks like he gpt struck by lightning, his hair is insane

[@tonistereo6650]

But people said nick was crazy for boycotting ea…is sad to see the point this game reached

[@juliancaesar4575]

So me and I know many others out there are like me, grinded squad battles either solo or co op with a friend because we work 9/5 and want to relax while playing some games of footy. Because of the adjustments made this year, we now play all our squad battles on Sunday day off because there are only 12 to do 😂 and then log in again Sunday morning for rewards and then repeat. Just pathetic. Rush is exactly as you described, menus are slow, servers disconnect, gameplay difficulty is so unbalanced and unpredictable, SBC is bad, not had 1 promo card over 85. EASILY the worst fifa/FC game in history.

[@rf9971]

Not playing this game online does wonders for your mental health. You still get screwed by the gameplay, but it's easier to just laugh about it.

[@whodiniweenie8131]

I match multiple hackers consistently every weekend, the delay is awful, and the pack weight is abysmal. Not sure how they consistently make the game worse every year, as someone who loved fifa 15, how are we going backwards year after year?????

[@philipsfeng553]

They know it's bad, they just don't have the ability to fix it...

[@WILSY44]

I've been playing FIFA pro clubs since 2018,they constantly neglect that game mode,too concentrate on the cash cow that is "ultimate team" seems like your getting a taste of what pro clubs has faced for years..poor gameplay,connection etc,seems like EA have given up on every mode now,they don't care once they've got your cash

[@gabrielsanchez2448]

First time I don’t buy fifa since 2008. And I honestly feel better not stressing over a garbage game
