Brace yourselves guys, this is what we're going back to after #TU6
This is an image from FIFA 23. This is exactly what will happen after they implement this Pitch Note -
- [PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC Only] Significantly reduced the amount of pressure the defensive team can apply to players along the sidelines.
This image below is #TU5 of FC24 - look how much better it is. It's a huge reason why the gameplay has provided a much more solid base to build from this year and it's about to be taken away.
I spoke about it a lot more detail last year and I was pleasantly surprised to see the change in FC24. Offline and online needs separate gameplay badly.

Also, reduced midfield congestion? What midfield? This doesn't seem like a happy update.

REDUCED MIDFIELD CONGESTION

if it breaks the midfield balance as you have described, sure it will be frustrating.

If players still slide around and take completely unrealistic touchers without any inertia after the update then the game is still unplayable.

I’ve asked before what this bug is but can’t get an answer. Can you explain to me what this bug is? The only contrasting I can see with own eyes is that if some of the pitch is in sun and some of the pitch is in shadow it’s too bright on the sunny part. Is this what you mean?

Yes I get this a lot, gets to the stage I have to switch weather to overcast every game if I want to use certain cameras or stadiums it's pathetic really

So how is the gameplay after the update ?
they change everything! feels like you are playing a new game!
... or maybe its just the same ...
Seriously... feels like they change something at the defense.
I am not going to analyze... because the game is very unrealistic to analyze.
Ping pong gameplay. Players react like monkeys not humans.

From my experience, it's a lot of the same, in a good way. There is less congestion in the midfield for the right reasons as the wingers are not tucked so far inside like they were previously. Keep in mind, I'm on a very low line length at 30 per our OS sliders, so I am not sure how it plays on default, etc.
We have noticed more shots from a distance by the CPU. Better deflections on those shots as well where the ball deflects further away rather than "absorbed" into the defender's body.
Overall, we are not seeing too many changes and continue to enjoy the game.

Thanks.
I’ve never noticed a change occur during the game. For me it’s either too bright where the sun is and it stays like that or there’s no issue at all. Perhaps it’s platform specific. I am playing it on a switch lite so maybe the dumbed down shadowing etc is actually beneficial in this case. A lot of people have mentioned it being too fast too. Maybe the switch 30FPS is beneficial in this game too. Never thought I’d say that lol

Ok but what about people who were only enjoying the game with gameplay mods

Xbox Series, PS5, PC for sure, I don't know what abot Switch version.
I have the same feeling about the update.
Less congestion, more long range shots from CPU. More variation on CPU shots : less top corner shots, more ground shots.

For me the CPU always seems to dribble the wing and cut inside. I rarely see them try and cross the ball from open play. I’ve updated mine now so I’m going to try it later tonight to see if that’s changed too. I don’t know if it’s intentional though because teams don’t really cross the ball as much as they used to in football. At least in the premier league they always try and cut inside these days. So I dunno if if it’s supposed to be like this.

In my experience, on World Class they will, but on Legendary it's depending on their tactics for the majority of the time, but they will still surprise you and cross out of nowhere. CPU using patient build up tactics tend to pass on the ground a lot more, while fast builds will look for crosses as long as they aren't tiki-taka. Long ball teams will cross the most. My main test on legendary is playing against West Brom, who seem to cross a lot. If they stop crossing, then I know something needs to be looked into.

I do play on world class. Legendary and Ultimate make it too difficult for me. This is my first EA football game so yeah it’s a bit too much on those levels for me still. I’ve tried but I find it difficult to get possession of the ball at higher levels. I’ve already found on world class mode that tackling using the standing tackle button is a waste of time because even if I do take the ball it seems to just bounce off me and go back to the CPU players foot. It’s almost like I have to double tackle them to get the ball. So instead I find that jockeying and waiting for a mistake is best for me however I lack patience for this and find using the pressuring button constantly which never works lol
When I do have possession of the ball I’m pretty good on world class mode.
I’m always using inferior players (stats wise) though because I like getting low teams up to the top league. Maybe if I used a team of equal or better than my opponent then I would probably be ok on higher levels. I dunno. Either way I’m having a good time with the game despite its flaws.

In clubs no one is using the middle, everyone is just sprinting down the wings to cross or cut the ball back, these changes are awful.
This game is just so frustrating
- Reduced midfield congestion.
- Reduced sideline pressure on attackers

Why do they feel the need to tweak gameplay unless they are monitoring multiplayer? Doesn’t make sense to make these edits nearly four months into release.
it’s become a staple now for them to continue to fuck with the game, that’s why it’s dying. They either need to:
Have separate single and multiplayer titles
Or
Have user specified update selection much like the beta option on steam
No one is winning with this approach currently, multi players hate single player needs and vice versa.
At the moment it’s strength doesn’t lie on one direction or the other and it’s why we get this constant rollercoaster of patches.

Your comment sums it up really. As someone who plays career mode exclusively I feel they should put all their effort into that part of the game. However, I’m also realistic and realise that the online game (mainly UT) generates them a vast extra amount of money on top of people already having parted with their cash to buy the game. Two separate releases would be a good idea. An offline version that we pay for and a “free” online version for UT etc. That way online players will eventually get the gameplay they want and offline players will eventually get the gameplay they want. From what I’ve played offline I couldn’t see it working properly online and I’d imagine people will exploit certain aspects of it. I’m guessing EA are trying to balance it between offline and online but I don’t think AI and Human controlled will find a middle ground.
I personally think they dont think about offline at all

Really just needs an online/arcade mode for UT and make everything else a legitimate sim, including clubs please.
Or release UT as it's own thing, people that play the mode will absolutely buy it, or make it (UT) F2P, you're printing money with UT anyway.
