#DELETE THE PLAYSTYLES

Those who have been playing since at least FIFA 14 know what we originally fell in love with.
I’m tired of having to browse for hours and watch test videos just to make sure whether a certain player is good in-game or not. This is ridiculous.

You can have a card with great stats, yet it’s unusable just because it doesn’t have this or that playstyle. It’s absurd. In the old FIFAs, we decided whether to buy a player for our team based on stats. Simple as that.

A basic example: back then, if we noticed that one of our midfielders wasn’t passing well enough, we looked for players with better passing stats—and that was it. They were better in-game too. More than once it happened to me that I bought a good player, but in-game he was terrible just because he didn’t have a certain playstyle.

In the older FIFAs—the ones we fell in love with—every single player could score finesse shots. ALL OF THEM. Sure, if their shooting stat was weak, it wasn’t very effective, but you could still do it. Who was the ridiculous person who decided to change this and introduce it like this?

Because of playstyles, you now have very limited choices when it comes to players if you want to win. It doesn’t matter if you have a favorite player you want to put into your team—you can’t use him if he doesn’t have the right playstyle.

REMOVE PLAYSTYLES AND LET STATS ALONE DECIDE WHETHER A PLAYER IS GOOD IN-GAME OR NOT.

In older FIFAs (FIFA 15), we were still happy in February to get a Team of the Week player—
even if that TOTW player wasn’t Messi or Ronaldo.

I sent my feedback to the portal. I hope they actually take into account what I wrote. It’s ridiculous what FIFA has become. It used to be the best football game in the world. I remember the good old days when even in February I was still using a team made up of simple gold cards.

I understand that revenue is important. But if the game is good, players will spend money on it anyway. This weekly promo cycle is completely unnecessary. It’s also ridiculous that you pack a card from a new promo and you can’t even be happy about it, because you can’t really use it — you can’t even put it among your substitutes, since no matter how good the stats are, it doesn’t have Rapid, Finesse, Tiki Taka, or other playstyles.

Because of this, players are forced to choose from a limited number of meta cards if they want to stay competitive. At this point, it’s no longer about building your own team. I remember that on PS3, FIFA 14 was advertised with the slogan “Build your own dream team.” This isn’t that anymore. Now it’s more like: “Build a team made up of the most meta cards of the month.”

Hi,
Yeah fifa 13 and 14 were excellent !!!
Now ea make too much money with UT and they try to find new way to earn more dollars.
And everywhere money is, it s smell bad all around...
They destroyed the game with coloured cards every month...
Now in low div rivals, everybody have a full 88+ coloured team !!!! It s ridiculous.
I play fifa since the first one and like you i saw regression every year.
This game is nearly end.
New promises won t change anything next year.
Because they lie to all community this year.
Ea sport... it s not a game
... it s a cash machine.
They don t mind about gameplay like before, now they only work ti find new way to steal money from players.

Don’t need playstyle. Why?

Anyone who didn’t start playing FIFA in the last few years knows how good FIFA was without playstyles. It didn’t matter whether a player had the Finesse playstyle or not — you could still take a curled shot back then.

Only the stats mattered! Based on that, you could decide who was a good player — whoever had better numerical stats. Nothing else mattered!
(At most, skill moves and weak foot.)

I don’t think they’re doing as well financially now as they did around FIFA 14–15. Sure, there are more promotional cards, which makes players buy FIFA Points, but at the same time they’re losing players. If we look at FIFA 14–15, or even 17, and compare the active player base back then to now, the difference is obvious. Last year, EA’s stock dropped a lot as well. They know it too — if this continues, sooner or later this game will disappear into the abyss.

They need to understand one thing: if they made a good game — which would require going back to the roots, to where it all started — they would attract more players back, and that means more potential buyers. If promos were rarer, people would actually buy more points, because you could open promo packs only RARELY. And what does that lead to? The fewer opportunities there are to open promo cards, the more people will value those moments and be willing to spend money.

Also, when you open a promo, every promo player should be usable — even the lowest-rated one. I never buy FIFA Points. Why? Because pack luck is clearly nerfed, and even if you do get a promo card, at best it’s fodder. Occasionally you might get something from a higher tier, but that’s rare. And even if you pack a valuable player, in the next promo his value drops to half.

So why should anyone buy FIFA Points? Even if you pack a top-tier player, after some time the game secretly tones down the stats of the cards. I’ve noticed this in several FIFAs. I packed a promo card from rewards — while the promo was active, he was genuinely fast, finished chances brutally well, and 8 out of 10 shots went in. The moment the promo ended, it felt like I was playing with a completely different card. Everyone outran him, and from 10 shots only 4–5 became goals.

That’s another reason people don’t buy points anymore: they know that unless they pack an end-game card from a promo (Pelé, Ronaldo, Maradona, etc.), that player won’t be usable for more than 2–3 weeks.

The answer is the Engine… The frostbite Engine brought all this unnecessary additions and completely made the game one dimensional . The engine needs to go along with Roles & Playstyle. It’s no coincidence FIFA fell apart since Frostbite was introduced which changed the whole gameplay

Is there any news on when EA will remove PlayStyles? Will it be in FC26 or FC27?

For example, base Gullit. In older FIFAs, Gullit was one of the best midfielders in the game. Now, because he doesn’t have proper PlayStyles, he’s simply not usable. It doesn’t matter that his stats are great on the card — without meta PlayStyles, he’s not competitive in-game.

EA really needs to understand that because of PlayStyles, many good players — even top Icons — become unusable. PlayStyles should be removed in the next game, and only stats should matter, nothing else. If a player has +2 pace, he should actually be faster. If his pace is 2 lower, he should be slower. ONLY STATS SHOULD MATTER, NOTHING ELSE.

I agree remove both roles and playstyles

I hope the PlayStyles will be removed soon.

That would save the game.

Let’s keep this thread going period

Remove playstyles

And they shouldn’t nerf already existing players just because of promotional cards; instead, they should simply give better stats to the promo card. It shouldn’t be like you buy a player and a month later it feels like you’re playing with a completely different player because he’s just a shadow of his former self! This is not a card collector game!

#

Over the weekend, as soon as I have time, I’ll write down everything I think EA should do to bring back the old players and make the game enjoyable again. Because if the next game isn’t a masterpiece, most players will only play it until November 19. After that, if the game doesn’t turn out well, the moment that other game releases (I don’t know if I can name it, but everyone knows which one people are really waiting for this year), it will kill FC 27 immediately. Everyone will focus 100% on that game.

However, if FC 27 turns out well, people will play both games.

Unfortunately, EA doesn’t care about us! I’m asking you and everyone who reads this to please check out this topic of mine. I tried to include as many issues as possible there and also suggest some solutions.

I ask everyone to share their opinion there as well! Even if you only contribute with one comment, it’s already a big help. If EA accepts even just a few of these suggestions, hopefully we’ll get an FC game that we all truly deserve.

I hate the fact that stats doesn't mean anything, like the Joga Bonito Kenan Yildiz had amazing stats for the moment of release but his playstyles were dogshit, I am pissed about the powet curve too, too much awards, they are not balanced (better rewards for gauntlet than for FC), there is so many packs and rewards that we can make a full special cards team in 2 months, in 2 months you could get Miccoli, Guaran, Marchisio and Di Natale, all gold...

✅ BUFF Manual Defending

✅ NERF the attacking game / attacking mechanics and Controlled Sprint Dribbling (R1 Dribbling)

NERF PlayStyles
✅ Technical
and
✅ Technical+

✅ Adjust the Final Results in the Online Modes Seasons and Ultimate Team.

Some games end with Final Results like 7:8, 10:8, 6:5 etc.
These are the same Final Results as in Ice Hockey or Basketball. The Final Results in FC Pro Open games were also like in Basketball or Ice Hockey.

Balance the game so, that the Final Results are like in Football.

Basketball ends up way higher

#

And also do not nerf the attacking game, that's what EA mainly lack 😭

And wdym adjust the final results ?
