EA SPORTS FC 26

My overall problem is that the movement of players so rarely approximates reality that im too often reminding myself how to play fifa, rather than how to play football.

The result is...I don't feel properly connected to the game and after a while it feels hollow and distanced from me. That feeling of immediacy is just so important to me, ive realised. It's why ps2 pes was so amazing and why even some of the ps3 pes were still fun despite being technologically diabolical.

This really resonates with me.

I like to call it the “suspension of disbelief.” You are not actually playing real football - you are staring at a screen hitting buttons. When the actions on the pitch and the button presses correspond to real football, it is quite easy for your brain to keep suspending this notion that you’re not really playing football. But when players don’t move off the ball or defend like they should, it takes so much mental energy to suppress this. This is why playing FC26 feels like work.

As this touches “our” topic as well… I’ll leave it here for discussion sake, if that’s ok.

My God.

My heart and soul feels SEEN, brother.

The authentic mode doesn't look too bad in that test scenario it's when you introduce AI it all falls apart

Interesting, I was playing without the weather effects turned on, I think you lose a lot with them turned off, I play with @Matt10 sliders, let's see what he thinks too, it would be interesting to introduce them in the sliders!

In my eyes, it’s just another variable that would make it harder to nail down the „perfect“ slider set.
Why would I through that into the mix?!

does practice arena have different physics and animations than normal match? I feel like playing two different games.

I felt this playing FIFA 20 last week and thought it was just me... Didn't notice while playing FIFA 16 and 17 though..

FIFA 17 definitely is different in arena mode. The ball isn’t tiny.
