I was also considering buying it as it's still in the '50% off' period on the EA app but I'm not really sure I should.
Any suggestions? Is it still worth trying (I seemed to understand tht it was, at release) or have the TUs ruined it in the meantime?
As you can see my post above, go and give it a try on ea app and you have literally 24h to refund it, just reserve few hours to do the playtest in those 24h. Nothing will make you more confident than trying it out yourself.
Except for that miserable & flawed gameplay I mentioned, it also has, shockingly, tons of bugs like it's a beta product, even reviewers who embrace that product year after year for no reason, gave it like 6/10 this year. Apart from those gameplay breaking bugs, it also has sluggish/slow menu, feels like it's 15fps there, cut scenes with full framerate feel also like 30fps. It even has this bug where sometimes your controller settings are back to default even tho u have changed them and saved in profile. It's been there for ages, still not addressed.
Funny thing FC 25 has 50% discount and FC 24 is full priced 😂 Since most 'mods' behind that atrocious patreon paywall are mostly free for FC24 now, and there are no more TU comming out, I gave a try to FC24 with mods, so it has a fair shot in my eyse as well, and I also..... refunded it 😅 what did I expect🤦♂️? I'm sure all those mods do improve 'something' but fundamentally it's still the same game, they cannot fix things without being able to change the source code, animations etc, they just try to tweak things here and there through parameters/variables exposed for modders. I know it's a fifa topic, but to finish my story, last thing I tried, was efootball 2025, and it obviously has its own issues we all know, but oh boy, let me tell you something, the gameplay fundamentals are like from different era & technology, you feel from the first pass. It's unbelievable that as blank as this product is, it's still 'free' and delivers years ahead better quality in the gameplay department that paying full price for FC & then multiple 15$ patreon subscriptions does not come even close, I mean it, not even close, and it feels like a robbery from both sides, EA & Community (just wanted to express my ❤️ apprecations to
@Paul-v). It's not only gameplay that is miles better, there are also other things, like player models, turf, gameplay camera overall graphics (even with its 💩 rendering engine), physicallity, responsivness (somehow FC feels sluggish and not responsive, maybe it's that hypermotion bs adding xxxx animations and the engine cannot handle that properly at 60fps, even 240fps), collisions and I would even argue animations. Anyway, I advise anyone to make their own opinion on thsoe products, since nowadays, you can refund things, so nothing really stops you testing them out yourself, maybe one or the other will 'click' for you, and this is what only matters at the end of the day, not someone else's opinion.
