EA SPORTS FC 24

I must admit that if you play the game with the right mindset (and with the right people) there’s fun to be had.
I’m currently enjoying Clubs for example, but it might just be for the reason that I’m playing it with friends.
Anyway, I’m having fun.
 
Also playing clubs, and at times it can be enjoyable, but there are so many busted things it quickly pulls you out of any joy.
Every team we play against just resorts to doing the same two things with every player on their team having the same meta build.

Still play Clubs regularly, so I'm part of the problem
 
Trying advanced defending and it's not bad at all. As a longtime legacy defender I still get to use secondary pressure to get into cover positions, but the players don't just jockey, they try to keep up jogging and sprinting. In addition, I can actually use shoulder barge or standing tackle. Makes for easier management than before for sure.
 
I think I’ve got some sliders for the old gen version (no skating) that are better than any console football experience that I’ve had for a long time and for now as fun as FIFA 16 with sliders. Would anyone be interested?
They’re also definitely usable on next gen (I can’t look past the hypermotion skating) but perhaps could use just a marking reduction / line length increase.

Afaik the secondary pressure either on advanced defending or legacy brings now another player who is ONLY using contain. Another amazing decision by EA devs (if you can call them devs, they're not). On FIFA 16 legacy defending brings another player who is actually trying to tackle depending on how long you press the button.

I think advanced defending is the best of both worlds. Being able to use the shoulder/push or standing tackle really helps. If the CPU didn't react to the secondary pressure then I'd have a problem, but they respect the positioning and I still have to perform an action, which I don't mind.

I'm not sure why there's a slight for devs when I doubt they have any choice on what to put in the game. Probably just given the parameters and set to code it and move it down the line. If you say the project manager, maybe, but it comes down to the decision-makers - and that's not the devs usually. All they can do is put an emphasis on what can or can't be done - not scope or descope on their own. That's my experience at least.
 
I'm starting to have similar experiences as with eFootball. I played a bit after the last patch and "meh", I'm waiting for the next one, maybe it will be better.

You're right that advanced defending is now better than legacy but what you're saying about project managers and devs is more complex and I know it from another company (Creative Assembly). We can talk about this with personal messages if you want. There are a lot of things we can't post here. Some of these companies unfortunately fire older experienced devs to hire younger, cheaper ones. And I'm going to leave it here.
 
Whatever defending you use doesn't matter when every AI attacker does the same trick ,knocking the ball 5 yards ahead of himself and running past you, doesn't matter what gameplay mod I use I still get annoyed with the same shit

And then they dribble on the byline until they can cut it back with all your defenders retreating

Reminds me of the old PES ai when they would cut it back and it would go through everyone's legs lol
 
Anyone know when this “server update” is which will implement the 162 new faces/starheads listed in the patch?

A friend of mine is one of the new faces so I’m keen for it to be implemented :D
 
After not touching the game for over a week I wanted to give it a try this morning after the latest patch, because I really want to like it. But now I have this brightness bug, where literally everytime the game stops (throw-in, free kick, corner kick) the game gets dark as if someone turns out the lights. I have to pause and get back in the game to reset the brightness. It is simply ridiculous.

Yeah, but if they just fixed the running animations so that every time an attacker changed direction they didn't look like they used Star Trek's beaming me here, there and everywhere, they wouldn't need another button. And defending might even be fun and satisfying, instead of random and lucky.
 
I know EAFC has a number of issues and poor game design choices, but there definitely moments of magic to be created. I managed to loosely recreate Coman's freak cross goal on the PS4:


I know the real thing is farther out towards the touchline, but I was definitely aiming towards the goal and used just the cross input. You guys go try it out! I also managed to score another freak cross earlier:

This actually got me curious, is there ice skating in ps4? Because of not having hypermotion etc? Or is it small but still there? I have a ps4 but only play on PC because... mods
 
Dozens of youtubers playing career mode

All their goals are scored by just running in a straight line in the box and taking the same shot medium height where the keeper collapses and the ai def runs away from the ball

So uninspiring lol

Hi Matt, thanks for the tip, i was a bit stuck on legacy since 14... was a bit too "caged" in my way of playing. Changing this made the game a lot more interesting, i win the ball a lot more and a lot faster and do way less fouls, it's a pain in the ass if i make second player pressure and also sprint and pressure at the same time, but, it really changed the game for me actually, it's really fun, even made it easier thanks!

I was also a long time Legacy defending guy, always under the belief that Fifa (as it was then) was way to fast for the Tactical defending to work. But Fifa 23, I stuck with tactical, and it works well, especially with the slider changes. Definitely a positive change to the game.

(On a side note, does anyone remember when Tactical was introduced? I want to say I believe it was around Fifa 12)

I think there's a lot less skating, at least it doesn't bother me

EA delivering the perfect soccer game...

...in the same way Maguire delivers a perfectly timed tackle.
