Very strange bug. Any theories as to why this happens?

It happens offline too though, re the sever issue.

Some have suggested that late night means tired, which means the eye/brain tracks more slowly and so the game appears faster.

In my experience, tiredness slows the world down, rather than the opposite.

Just tried the new update and it looks like they fixed the player animations. I haven't seen too much of these hundred touches a player takes at the same spot. At slow speed it's now closer to a FIFA 16 feeling but there is still some skating.
I've only tried playing with Championship teams so I don't know yet how the game plays with better teams.
The glaring issues remain though. Defense is atrocious. GKs the same. I just put GK ability to 65 and I will check if there's any improvement. Any recommendation to how to make defenders defend properly without standing is welcome. This issue kills the game alongside the lack of crosses.

I'd rather keep the hamster though. I don't think my PC would run without one.

The really funny thing is, when i play on 144hz the game is even on slow game speed really fast but ....here comes the funny thing : when i put the limit to 60fps its heavy slow compared to 144fps 🤣🤣🦸

Knowing EA they're not adapting, so if you set it to 144 Hz it would play a little more than 2 times faster.

Hi, lads.
Missed last few pages.
Are there any crosses in this game?

You shall use Parma and select their home kit. Then you'll see them for sure.

Jokes apart, I've played it for some time and I agree it's a step forward from FIFA 23, I've enjoyed it to some extent, I'll probably play Clubs with it to somehow hang out and have a laugh with friends which don't live close enough, but it's not my cup of tea I think. Not if compared to older FIFA and even PES games, at least.
 
The game is simply ruined by the defensive logic. I have tried everything, I can't switch to every single defender and when I do it they're already out of position. The patch is really good because most animation problems are fixed but omg are these devs brainless? They have even nerfed the secondary pressing on legacy defending. It's like they're doing it to personally annoy me.
Same applies to cpu AI defending. They're clueless. The most infuriating thing is that all these issues can easily be fixed by one person in one week max of proper coding. Really disappointed because there's potential here.

Play on ultimate difficulty. They position themselves much better.
 
I'm coming to the end of my 10-hour trial, and I just tried it again with the very latest patch and sliders.

Oh dear.

There are some decent ideas in here. For example, they press you in your own half, and just as you're getting excited by this, they run past you.

But the defending. Wowzer. Defending is so random. Not only down to the fact that your defence parks itself and won't move. Worse than that. When you've got control of a defender and trying to judge when to tackle, well, don't bother. It's random. And that's because the AI doesn't respect the laws of physics at all. So you can make the perfect tackle but the AI will decide whether it bends its jelly legs out of the way in an instant or not. That's why I call it "random".

And then attacking. You literally have to force yourself to pass the ball in this game, because it becomes glaringly obvious that it's designed around one-on-one dribbling. So there's actually no point in passing. Just give it to your fastest player, usually the winger, and just move with him slowly, then quick, then slow, then quick, left then right (you don't need the trick stick) and you'll get further than passing it ever will.

I want to play in a football style. But this game actively stops me doing this. FIFA, and now FC, have always had part of the game that was like this. But now, it's just so obvious that you can't even pretend this is a game of football.

It just wants you to get to the other end of the pitch as quickly as possible. And when you've done that, it wants to get the AI to the other end of the pitch as quickly as possible.

Like I say, EA's game has always been a bit like this. But this year it's so obvious that it's just so incredibly boring.

I'm not a demanding consumer. I really want a football game with all the right teams and that plays something like football. I'm very forgiving if all that is in place. But for the love of all things Pele, this is a really poor joke.

Tbh I haven't even tried to go in Career mode. How Ultimate difficulty will help with these issues? I can understand cpu AI will be more alert in defense but what about my cpu teammates? I can't micromanage each one of them and when I'm trying to do it they're always out of position.

Save your money. This game is the biggest regret I’ve ever had buying a game. It’s complete horse sh**. Everyone tries to find positives because they’re probably also thinking they’ve thrown money down the toilet. I’ve hear people say “oh I’m used it now” like you’re supposed to get used to a terrible game something? Literally every version of PES ever made it’s better than fc24. I’m never buying another EA product again. Does that answer your question? 😂
Click to expand...
Well. Pretty well. I mean I'm a bit disappointed even though I wasn't ever going to get the game in the first place so the fact that it's turned out this way is not a surprise. Pretty sad state of football games. It's officially over now lol, If it wasn't over when eFootball came out.

Agreed. You’re better off enjoying some classic PES. It’s never got any better than classic PES and unless something changes in the way they make football games, it never will.

It is unfortunately. It's like there are only 3 lines of dev coding for the whole game. I've tested the cpu AI by letting them go 1-on-1 vs the GK. All 6 instances I got my GK rushing with Y button and the AI all the times chipped the ball the same way above him. In what they call a football game all players have the same reaction, the same moves, the same finishing. 6 times the same result with 6 different players, GKs even at 90 slider had the same reaction, clueless.
It's all scripted with non existent dev code or with code written by 10yrs old children. They have the nerves to sell this £70.
 
I have some comments on the sliders discussion

First of all many thanks for matt for his amazing work and dedication through the years, Really EA don't deserve people like him

Secondly, I think EA need to give us a clear description of what each sliders actually does and how effective it is.
For example this year I see first touch error at 100 for both sides, In past iterations it was different despite it being the same game.
The pass and shot error as well used to break the crossing, Or every shot hitting the woodwork and so many weird side effects.

Thirdly we need to know how much percentage each difficulty effects the parameters, For example if I play at 50/50 sprint speed and acceleration, on pro it's different to legendary. We need to know the under the hood percentages to be able to taylor the gameplay accordingly.

This year the AI identical attacking patterns and the way defenders just move away from the ball in the box is a game breaker that cannot be fixed with sliders.

They keep trying to pull the ball back with a quick pass to the wrong player leading to an easy interception EVRY SINGLE TIME.

Theres no variation in the play at all. At least there was initially and then as per they patch out what little variation was left. Next patch it will come back briefly and then they will patch it out again. they do it this way every year. And you cant revert back to the original because its not on a disc anymore and and it always comes pre patched!
 
Is it me or there's a problem with Clubs where the game hangs after finishing a minigame?
THey used to work pre-update (I did some), they seem to hang now.
After finishing the minigame I'm stuck with the background image and nothing else, I have to force quit the game and the minigame result doesn't get registered.

I doubt we will ever get this info. I've always treated it like a global editor and am glad to see a difference.

Yes all sliders are relative to one another and the base of them usually translates through each iteration of the game, but there are always "new" gameplay features that affect certain values. In FIFA 16 it was the birth of driven pass, in FC24 it's been the precision shooting.
 
I’ve asked for a refund of this game. I bought digitally so my chances are slim but by the law where I live (UK) says they must refund since I’m within the 14 day period. I’m determined to get my money back so if they reject me I’ll go to the bank and if they can’t help me I’m seriously going to standards and practices. These crooks at EA aren’t going to get away with selling me a broken game that’s not fit for purpose. Wish me luck!

Hardly Cyberpunk levels of broken though. Go for it, but I think your chances are realistically slim

Were bookings defaulted to “off” for anyone?

Noticed I never get carded in career mode and just checked the settings and both injuries & bookings are off! Which I never did. Bizarre.

No bookings, no injuries, no negative commentary. This is what we call progress 😂 our kids are f**ked. Might as well and go and play Italia 90 on the Mega Drive.

EA are just brazen at this point, they don't even try and hide the contempt for anyone other than esports and ultimate team players.

Football both on consoles and in real life (in the top leagues anyway), has totally turned to shit. How did we get here?

Stop the world I'm getting off.

We've got here because we've allowed greed and egomaniacs to do wtf they want and destroy everything. In real football, virtual football and in real world politics. No idea how we improve things either, can only see things getting worse.
 
So I got rejected and given the usual policy jargon when asking for a refund so I replied:

“I think your policy is irrelevant when the law says I’m entitled to a refund within the 14 day cooling off period with no questions asked. This includes digital goods. However, I can also say that this game is broken and not fit for purpose.
I didn’t think I would have any issue with a refund from an established worldwide brand such as yourself. I’m shocked that such a company is intending to break the law.
I must insist that you refund my money in full.”
