i downloaded it 2 days ago since i wanna try the game and possibly buy it.but i just cant play ..it always gives a account restricted and cant connect to the ea servers error.im on pc anyone has a solution??
 
I was reading randomly some reviews on my XSX about FC25. They was around 60% one star reviews. The Kids dikslike the GP from FUT and FUT in general.
One kid had really wrote that he cant win with his 90 pace players v CPU in this cash grabbing mode FUT.

I hope so, so, so much that EA ignore these poor bastards. Yea, there bugs in every mode. But since years we have with FC25 a very good base GP.

This is why I asked - to see if it was the same on the vanilla console versions (with or without sim settings).

I was assuming from @Hels The Ronin's reply that it was!

On PS5 pro/Series X, the Gaolkeepers are really great. You just need to put the sliders at 65/65.

PC version didn't playing like the consoles version. A friend has tested and sliders didn't have the same feeling at all.

You mention a lot of, I mean really a lot of cosmetic mods which enhance PES 2021. Of course I notice you also mentioned the great work of Gameplay Modders like Holland, Tufkar, Alex I guess and all the other Guys who tried to "really change" the basic PES 2021 Gameplay to somewhat better.

The cosmetic Part of PES 2021 is really awesome. The Game looks with all those enhancements really not worse or outdated even we speaking from a Game which is not updated by his Producers since 4 years. So no other Game profit from that fact as much as PES 2021 does. The community is outstanding loyal, still, even the Game is 4 years old. So modders still put their love and effort into it to make the game beautiful.

But let´s speak about the Gameplay you mentioned which should be "significantly" a game changer. Even I like FIFA/FC more, I have still PES 2021 on my HDD, currently with the great ISS 1996/1997 Classic Mod installed. I also a Member here in the Forum since 2017 or 2018 because of PES Mods. I discovered the FIFA section just later.

So I modded PES 2021 for a long time for myself. I tried so many GP Patches but they all can´t delete that awful scripting which hits every Player after a while back into a send him back to many many flaws of the basic GP feel. The fact PES 2021 must be mainly get modded through the Game exe have not much pros.

You can mod the dt18 for sure but that doesn´t do the trick. Not long ago there was a mod from Twiggy I guess which gives hope to walkaround the scripting of the Game based on Cheat engine. I also tried it but after a while... yeah... the Game become scripted again.

I gave up because the basics of the Game are: Players not respond fast enough to the interaction around them, the AI can make what they ever wanna do without a big impact from myself and my AI controlled Teammates which leading into frustrating Matches. The gap between Professional Game difficulty and the next difficulty Levels are really worse imo. I can shine on Professional and score some Goals, but otherwise playing on Superstar a.e. I face a awful series of 0:0 or 1:1 or 0:1 Match results. No dynamic, no action on the Pitch. Call me a bad Player but I know many many other Players are facing the same. And that is than called realistic?

Of course FC is much more arcade Gameplay, but with mods there already filled the gap between completly unrealistic GP like you see on that terrifying You Tube Channels of those FUT playing kiddos which always give the image of an childish attempt to make a football game. But the scene comes gameplay-wise in depth when you play FC with a Gameplay mod and gives a wider range of simulation Game than ever before.

GP Mods by AnthJames, Paul-v, Danielz etc. have more to offer what YouTube Videos can give you an impression from. It´s not about all that above because I hate PES 2021, it´s more the fact imo that the base of FC 24 or FC 25 currently gives modders with Frosty Tools a huge range to create a more settled and realistic direction of a Football Game than PES 2021 Base can offer.

Nah, I don´t say FC is a dream game or near to perfection, but there are in fact only 2 Football Games to choose. PES and FC/FIFA, and that makes it really difficult to speak about more choices for every of us Players. It´s good we have 2 Games with completly different directions to play. So we all have always stuff to discuss.

But honestly, Mate, to tell a Console Player like @simogto90 PES 2021 have GP Mods which are significantly impact of how PES 2021 plays is a bit over the top for me. And cosmetic mods like net server, every worlds Stadiums etc. makes the core Game related to GP not disappear.

No offense to you in personal, but that´s my personal opinion to the everylasting discussion on those 2 Game franchise. And sorry for the long post, but sometimes it comes out of me. :D

What a straight to the point answer. PES 21 is a scripted mess which will haunt your players and handicap them from reacting/scoring at crucial moments just for the sake of fake realism

On master league and at certain points during master league , I agree with that , but not in other modes. At the end of the day choose your poison because no game is perfect but for me nothing about FC25 resembles football especially the players movement or complete lack of it

That's your resentment, but i don't have that feeling of super scripted at all, at least by far less scripted than any FIFA since the 21 (20 was too easy in any difficulty to me).
I asked proof of scripting everywhere with vids about what you're saying, i never got one answers, while in Fifa i see tons of vids with the ball completely moving from their natural trajectory to aim to the goal...

Like said Chris Davies one or two pages ago said there's compromise to do as it's difficult to create a football game. But not magic stuffs transforming trajectory as the way it's programmed the ball MUST completely change the direction even if the ball was aiming elsewhere on the pitch, just to get the perfect pass or shoot like the game was programmed.

Thats e-sports logic, i just can handle it, as i totally hate when a sports game totally walk ashamed on laws of football and physics.
We didn't have it since Esports, and the last following that rule was Fifa 17. To me the last pretty good Fifa.
Even with bad gameplay choice and rigid stuffs i don't found a PES "totally" messing up with it (perhaps a little but i don't see it even in slowdown)

Now, we are not on any PES thread, but no game can please to everyone as we're waiting different priority regarding what we want to get enhanced or changed...
 
I have a ridiculous amount of hours streaming the game unlisted to my YouTube. I do this so I can review if some kind of topic or issue is being discussed. I genuinely cannot find, or remember, a moment in which the ball trajectory changes randomly. I'm not saying it doesn't exist, because there are videos out there that show it, but I can say from my experience that it has been extremely rare.
 
It's an example, i wanted to say about logic that there's tons of animations doesn't fit, physically, to where the ball is aiming.
+ Tons of stuffs like that like all players ultra agility that pushed me out of the game. Especially since the current-gen movement which all seems in fast forward (never tried the 21, and i didn't liked the 20 in comparison to PES 2020 bring to me simply)

The thing i hate the most ball isn't linked to the players movement or the players animations should be different regarding what they do. A weak pass or shoot super fast, an header on the right and the ball is aiming on the left. It's perhaps animations bugs, i don't know, but i just can tolerate this.
On Fifa 17 yes the ball got sometimes very weird behavior like i remind an hyper pass at 250 mph going from on side of the pitch to another, but it was clearly bugs, not gameplay choice.
And i suppose that what we see like "the cpu decided to the pass going on the left even if the player foot can't fit with that direction" is an e-sport thing, a gameplay choice.
It's totally normal to talk about variety if the gameplay is above all laws even fundamentals and simple logic. Then there's defense i can't stand for X reasons, balance, midfiels etc.

It's not even arcade related, is more an e-sport thing. An e-sport game made with e-sport players for e-sports players...

Now those things can certainely be restored with sliders, and you may found happyness with it and, above all, mods, then it's okay no problems. I'm not insulting any people taste lol.
But it should be hard to programs them as you got to fight against nature/how the game really is. And i understand totally that we really all miss our average or good yearly and complete physical release. And more than all : improvement, real 2025 next-gen improvement. I'm with you on it, and i brought 2 versions, i forced myself, tried sliders (Ps5) and i felt like a masochist.

I won't at all criticize your devotion for making people happier with sliders, it's a hard job and you did it well and playing with your sliders or others Operation Sports ones makes the game pretty better on the flow. You can't do anything against the lack of fundamentals, but at least you're fighting for it : sincerely respect for what you do every year.

Now i'm in acceptation like phases we got after a loss, and i only replay games i liked before. Ignoring current football rosters and all.
I don't like that much actual asceptic football without icons, less and less youth people carrying about and i understand them...
I said what i wanted to say once and we won't start a debate, i'm tired of it. Everyone got their perception and ideas, if you have fun with the game since years that's all matters.

Cheers

Yeah I would agree there are other animations that don't fit - I just wanted to address the ball trajectory concern as I have a lot of sample size.

The struggle is making the ball a separate entity. It's just not built into the game unfortunately. It's a bit of a tricky topic as well because the pass speed value allows the ball to be more free, but of course you then lose the realism due to the rocket passing pace. Lower pass speeds then create the effect of the ball being underneath the player, and the ball dying too soon (not rolling), so that just continues a chain reaction of possible odd limbs-to-ball interactions.

From a football perspective, the game does achieve some core mechanics such as receiving the ball on the backfoot, crossing pace, long ball switches, reverse pass and some various foot-to-ball contact points - especially as the error value increases. However, the arcade-like behavior comes from the more unnecessary features like agile dribbling, competitor mode, etc.

The game still lacks the risk/rewards of passing the ball forward. FUT/arcade players like their passing perfectly into stride, while the sim mode/sliders crowd want that resistance and punishment. I think the game does really well there with the right settings, but it's not perfect due to the ball not being a separate entity as mentioned above.

FIFA/FC is always about the sacrifices you want to make to enjoy the game. The issue is that you have to constantly adapt to the patch/title updates that make you revisit those priorities every couple of weeks.
 
I often see a lot of comments about the gameplay here, and the problem is no longer the defense, the GP or whatever they come up with, the problem is that the game changes all the time and no one knows why.

One day I can be playing some spectacular matches, where everything feels really good, but the next day without any explanation the game is totally different.

Without a doubt it is the biggest problem with this game, it doesn't matter if you add mod, slider or whatever you want to add to the game. It's as simple as that, when the game wants you to play some great matches, and from one moment to the next it becomes unplayable, the game is totally schizophrenic and I'm going to end up in the psychiatrist thanks to EA...

I know I'm not the only one who sees that...sorry for my bad English....

A little off-topic but I found it funny. The developer of Balatro wasn't happy with the 18+ rating of his game.

Absolutely bonkers. A game with no actual gambling mechanics and real money involvement gets a 18+ and EA's game full of gambling and real money has a 3+.
EU and its overpaid officials and clueless politicians are a joke.
 
Was playing some hours after my last EAFC 25 session month ago.
First, I tought my XSX gamepad is broken. Because in my own 1/3 near my box, my defenders and midfielders didn't move in that way in which I was pushing my left stick.
They moved contrariwise or stuck on the pitch.

Second, it seems that the bug with change the tactical sliders is back again.

My game laged just sometimes and only for some seconds. And most of the times on midfield after a long ball or so.
I don't know why?
My PC can handle the game on max settings. i5 14600KF, 32GB ram ddr5, 1TB WD Blue SSD, RTX 4070Ti super.
And at the release from EAFC25 I don't had such problems. Max. settings, Raytraicing, 4K 120Hz and 120fps lock or no lock,
I use eSim, Rode Kits and Fifer's realism mod.

Yea and that is not enough, the game was one time on window mode without any input from my own.

It is so typically, as soon as I commend the game and the developers and feel like playing it, I am punished for my sins again. 😡God damn! 🤜
 
I have the impression that when i set Competitor mode to On then the game fixes most of the issues. Also i changed settings like Assisted Jocking to On, ground pass to semi, lobbed pass to semi (all other settings to manual). I have sliders set to simulation and dynamic. I think the default AI (without Competitor Mode set to On) is kinda broken or too scripted. When i set Competitor Mode On the cpu plays almost like human.
 
Hello everyone,

is there a way to include multiple commentator languages in the game?

I personally have the problem that I can only select the following languages in the EA app and the commentary is only available in “English”. The field to select the commentator language is grayed out.
Unbenannt.png Unbenannt2.png

Unfortunately, the following tip did not work either.
How to change Commentary Language in EAFC 25 PC

I really need the German commentators, but the game just won't download them.
Can someone upload them?
They should be in the following folder:
X:\EA Games\EA SPORTS FC 25\Data\Win32\superbundlelayout\commentaryfull_de_DE
X:\EA Games\EA SPORTS FC 25\Data\Win32\superbundlelayout\commentarylaunch_de_DE
X:\EA Games\EA SPORTS FC 25\Patch\Win32\superbundlelayout\commentaryfull_de_DE
and
X:\EA Games\EA SPORTS FC 25\Patch\Win32\superbundlelayout\commentarylaunch_de_DE

Or does anyone have an idea how to bypass the region lock?
Unfortunately, changing the locale in regedit was not successful.

I can upload the files for you, but I only have 2 Files in Data and only 1 in Patch. Your mentioned "commentarylaunch_de_DE aren´t in my Patch Folder. Btw, did you buy your Version of the Game in any Internetshop like eneba or Kinguin etc.? I had once the same Problem with my purchased FIFA 16 which I purchased at those shops. I find a cheap polish Version. With Origin EA let me choose every commentary, later with EA App I can´t launch the Game in german commentary. So I slightly doubt even when you have the german commi Files it will work, but of course try it.

In case you are having no success I recommend you to setup Origin again for FC 25. Still works close to 2025 like you see in my screenshot.
And with Origin I can use every commentary. Message me in PM if you are interested in the Origin setup.

Hello friends, I can't change the controls in EAFC25, I want to play only on the keyboard, but I can't change these settings, I've tried everything, it keeps showing me the keyboard and mouse

It seems like this is some kind of game bug, has anyone had this happen?

Well, decided to give it a fair crack. On PS5, career mode. All ive done is switch to sim sliders for the CPU. Decided to not read too much into other peoples opinions before giving it a go and what can i say....it ain't half bad. It ain't half bad at all. Few matches into it so not much going on of course. I will say that there's a LOT of options / things to do in career mode. Perhaps a bit too much.

I'm going to give it a good go with Hull in the championship. No idea why Hull, I just like the kits I guess.

I've gone back to playing Fifa 20 this week, and my God, it doesn't half make me realise just how bad this game is on a ratio to where it should be. I was lauding this game at release but it's just not fun. I think that's the key word. After a few matches i'm getting bored and I think it's the lack of AI. Fifa 20 is so much fun and still looks pretty good. Career mode is much more simple but I think in many ways that also works, too.

Have you done this? You might need to do it separately in Kick Off mode before starting a match.

I agree that the amount of things in Career Mode are a bit too much. I mean, I guess it can be fun due to all the details, and it might just be a question of getting used to it, but coming from earlier FIFAs and PES, it does seem like a bit too much micromanaging..

Football Manager is a completely different case, as the entire game is based on these types of micromanagement decisions (that's the whole point of FM).. But for a FIFA/FC game, where you play the games, I wish there was an option to streamline the training a bit more.
 
looking at giving this a go, can anyone tell me do managers get sacked and when they go to a new club do they bring their own philosophy to that club or are all clubs hardcoded with the same tactics regardless of manager.

Manager movement doesn't exist in FC, presumably due to licensing issues but I'm not 100% sure. (Football Manager has a different type of license as it's a different type of product, so it's allowed there.)
