Clubs honestly doesn’t feel like football anymore. Me and my mates still win games, but the way you have to play to do it is awful and just not enjoyable at all.
The biggest problem is the stamina system. It’s completely broken. You’ve got players playing up front and then sprinting all the way back to defend like a CDM or even a sweeper, over and over again for the full 90 minutes. It just turns every game into chaos. Positioning barely matters because everyone can be everywhere.
On top of that, letting players have 99 pace just makes it worse. It basically forces everyone to sit deep and play counter-attacking football, because there’s no downside to just sprinting constantly and recovering instantly.
In real life, even someone like Rice, who’s got unreal stamina, can’t play every position on the pitch for 90 minutes. Not even prime Kanté could do that. But on Clubs, even players with average stamina can run non-stop all game with no punishment. It just doesn’t make sense.
Because of this, there’s no variety in how people play. Everyone ends up using the same tactics because that’s what the game rewards. There’s no incentive to play proper football, keep possession, build attacks, or control the game like teams such as Barcelona or Man City have done for years.
I’ve been playing Pro Clubs since 2010, and this is the least enjoyable it’s ever been for me. Every team feels the same, every game feels the same, and there’s no real diversity in playstyles anymore. At this point, I’m genuinely thinking about just stopping playing altogether unless something changes.
