Amused me reading the online comments.
I'll say it how it is, I always do, and i firmly believe 90% of online players are teenagers who just want end to end, non-stop, frantic 'fun' game play, they are the same people that rage quit when you score, that pass the ball between GK and defender for 60 in game mins when they are one nil up, the same people that do keepy uppies wit their keeper, the same people that message you after a match to say 'L053r!!!', the same people that played the demo, didnt wanna learn how to defend and time tackles right, just held pressure clamp, then complained when 20 fouls a game were given, the same people who then complained via twitter and social media to Konami that fouls were broken, and Konami with the balls of a new born baby, ie tiny ones, panicked, as I said 2 months ago they would do, and completely rebuffed the fouls.
Fouls needed balancing, but instead what we got was a nerfing, ML went untouched for years (could argue this year too) all because of online play and their demands, the whole single player side of gaming suffer to this day because of kids who buy lootboxes, card packs, and play online, its an instant gratification society where the aim is to purely play not for enjoyment, but to win at all costs, if you cant win then cheat and if that isnt working, quit !!!
Simple as that and I don't care if anyone is offended by that comment, its fact.
**Note I said 90% of online, the other 10% are a decent bunch who want to play good proper football, and behave decently, but unfortunately they are far outnumbered by the kids.
