I’m not big into reviews, this is my first review ever for a video game. This game is absolutely awful in so many aspects. I’ve been playing sports games for about 15 years, and never have I experienced this amount of garbage. This also goes for when the game is working in my favour, and unfairly benefiting me, when I know my opponent should win.
Here’s all the problems I see:
•Passing : what on earth is up with the accuracy of passing? Why do so many passes go not even remotely close to your target?
• Interceptions : they have become so easy to do, it ruins the gameplay when there is so much non stop back and forth
• Shooting: you will miss 5/10 of your open breakaways, regardless of where you aim the ball.
• goalkeeping: extremely overpowered for difficult saves, terrible for easy saves.
• fast strikers being easily stoped by 70 pace defenders: I have an 86 striker and a 91 pace striker that are constantly easily stopped by 70 or less pace defenders.
• unintentional diving: why does the game dive for you automatically? Your striker could be on an open path to goal and get bumped by a player and just flop to the ground
• Headers: they’ve been nerfed so badly. It’s so difficult to score them now.
• Scripting: this game feels so out of your own control. It doesn’t matter how well or how many chances you have, the game decides when they want you to win or lose.
• Servers: lag is terrible, so many times where online is inaccessible due to the servers being down.
There are a few more issues I see but I’m done for now. EA, we all want you to succeed, we buy your game every year. I love football and FIFA but you really let me down with this game.
