Guys, I still see too much optimism in your posts in this thread. Once again, it's the same time of year—September—when your excitement starts to build. I get it because I fall for it every year too. "I hope EA has finally introduced slower, more realistic gameplay.", " It seems like this time, they’ve gotten it right", " it finally looks better, and it feels like they’ve come to their senses. Maybe this will be a decent year for a new football game!."
But no. Remember, it always gets ruined by the day-one patch or whatever update comes later. That "more realistic" gameplay tempo is quickly destroyed, and we're back to the same old ping-pong style that we've had for the last six years. They know you'll buy it because you're hopeful something has changed. But once they have your money, they'll cater to the FUT players all over again.
Even though they’ve introduced a realistic gameplay mode, different sliders, and more options to customise how we want the game to feel—nope, it’s all nonsense. It’s just another nicely packaged piece of shit and garbage that won’t change anything, or it will become unplayable later on, just like the so-called "slower" gameplay speed that renders defence useless.
DO NOT TRUST EA!
