Conclusion after Update Version 1.2.0/.1

[reef shard]

Dear EA Development Team,

Thank you for the recent gameplay updates.

✅ Version 1.2.0

and

✅ Version 1.2.1

In my opinion, the game feels more realistic again.

I mainly play the Seasons mode.

The balance between offense and defense is currently well-balanced.

Results in online matches are realistic again.
It's finally possible to experience real defensive battles again.
Games where the score remains 0-0 for a long time or ends 0-0.

Tough tackles, possession and ball retention, build-up play, and precise passing are now well-implemented.
It's also fun to create scoring opportunities.
In my opinion, the offensive play and dribbling are in the right balance with the defensive play and defense.

This is a great foundation to build on.

I look forward to future updates and hopefully further refinement to the gameplay.

Thank you for your work so far!

Conclusion after Update Version 1.2.0/.1

[fallen helm]

my rival throws a pass to gyokeres who is 3 meters behind my defense and he still wins, they are situations that only work for my rivals, I manage to do them and they beat him calmly

I won't even tell you about the 20 meter gap that separates my centers for no reason.

Awful take

[opal trout]

Game play can’t be fixed anymore. Now defenders are tackling ghosts , passes are broken , simple passes are intercepted by opponent with his player far away from pass receiver . So EA is completely broken not only the game play !

[safe jay]

Damn Man. I must try seasons- there are playing ppl who can't score a goal im this game IT has to be funny

[reef shard]

If you master the game well, it's possible to keep a clean sheet. But if you then fail to convert your scoring opportunities, the games will end 0-0.

Defend well and don't score your chances. It's just like real football.

[safe jay]

Thanks for telling me how to tie a game. But i dont trust ppl who says that game is in good shape. Bcs now its actually made for ppl who dont know how to play it

[reef shard]

What would your solution be? Reset the game to its release state and then run through it with players, shoot, goal!

Then we'll have results like in ice hockey again.

The game felt like air hockey to me at release!

[safe jay]

Its football GAME. I dont care about scores. I care about fair competition. And this now its not fair- ppl dont move in defence and dont get punished. I prefer to loose 7 goals and be like- woah he was good than see this fiesta now man. I dont Play for score, dont wanna pump my ego with any numbers. Some wins are not even fun because i can see that in this game ai was playin in my favour. First gameplay felt the most fair- that's all important for me. Hockey scores? Cmon dude u can push VVD with Claudia Pina- rly wanna realism?

[reef shard]

A realistic simulation is important to me.

Therefore, it would make sense to integrate authentic gameplay into seasons, perhaps even into all online modes.

[vale finch]

Right now, you can decide to not control your defence and win

That should NEVER be the case

[safe jay]

But its called competitive now. I see your point but we still talk about competitive.

[reef shard]

The way the game was at the beginning (release), where the offense and dribbling were so overpowered, should NEVER be the case.

[vale finch]

Did i say that?

[safe jay]

IT was hard to defend bcs IT was very beginning of the game. Trust me IT was adaptable state. I played every single FIFA title including Champions League spin-offs. This what happened after they implemented WL in 2016 to the game is dramatic. I hoped that finally we gonna have fair gameplay- even If harder to adapt that still fair but no Hope now.

[hidden fable]

If you want realistic gameplay, then go play Career Mode — that’s where realism belongs. Ultimate Team is a competitive esports mode and has never been realistic, and nobody who plays FUT actually wants realism there. If you’re looking for that, this mode simply isn’t for you. And honestly, it’s because of players like you asking for ‘realistic’ changes that the entire gameplay has been ruined for the people who actually play this mode competitively.

[safe jay]

And really i see your point, maybe dividing online modes for authentic and competitive is some kind of good idea

[safe jay]

I didnt see competitive gameplay in FIFA since xbox360/PS3 times. Miss that days haha

[vale finch]

🤣🤣 what are you talking about? We're talking realistic like AI can't jockey and tackle for you

[reef shard]

I've been playing FIFA since 2002. I don't play Ultimate Team. For Seasons mode,

I'd like the option to choose between "authentic" and "competitive" gameplay.

Seasons isn't about real money like FUT!

[reef shard]

I don't play FUT.
Only seasons!

[safe jay]

Its all about real money. I never but points bcs its killing development process in game. U see they dont change anything and i mean anything in seasons since IT started- why? Because they wanna move players to Fut, or they even monetizing clubs now- that's why they try to create something new there.

Its always about money- especially economic arts xd

[reef shard]

Many players want this. There are several threads on this topic on Discord.

[safe jay]

And its completely understandable, just see my point too. That's not like im right or u r right. We both are, we just AIM different goals haha

This community can't understand IT at all, that there are mamy groups in here. Everybody see this game differently. U want realism, i want competition, somebody would like to collect cards. We r all players, but EA WHO told US they will hear us- they just dont.

[reef shard]

I find it very disappointing that they aren't further developing and expanding the seasons mode.

Every single person, and all of us together, can influence the game's development.
Therefore, everyone should speak up about what's important to them.

This way, the various game modes can be adjusted and expanded.
