I’ve been playing Ultimate Team since the very beginning in 09, and honestly, this year’s game had one of the best starts in a long time. The gameplay felt fresh, challenging, and genuinely fun. Like any new game, it took time to adjust — and that was perfectly fine. You even marketed it as a complete overhaul, with trailers and a whole campaign about how everything had changed.
But instead of standing by those changes, it feels like you backed down the moment people struggled or didn’t want to put in the time to improve. That’s on them, not on the game. And yet the game was adjusted to suit that crowd.
Because of that, you’ve ended up losing a lot of players who actually enjoyed the direction you were taking. I think this might genuinely be my last FIFA/FC, and my playtime over the years will show how much I’ve supported this franchise.
The truth is, there are so many better games out there now that I don’t think I’ll miss this one. But it’s still disappointing, because for the first time in a long while, I was actually having fun learning the new gameplay — even when I was getting beaten. It had potential, and it’s a shame it didn’t stick to it.
