Can I ask you some FUT related questions?
I am thinking of giving this a try (gulp). The AI in Career Mode just isn’t doing it for me right now and I’m getting bored. I am enjoying the game on co-op seasons though so wonder if I should at least give FUT an honest attempt rather than slate it without really exploring it.
Anyway...
* Is it possible to play online games only? Not really interested in playing those weird/easy matches on Amateur level like you have to on myClub.
* What crowd chants do you get, does it depend on stadium card you assign to your club? Or something else?
* This next question is most important to me...I have read that in previous Fifa games, EA stick the mode on Fast speed and it can’t be changed. I’m happy with current default speed on Fifa 19 but would you say FUT is quicker this year than, say, a normal online HeadToHead Seasons match?
Thanks, sorry for all the questions
I would definitely recommend giving it a go though just know going in that FUT, even if it's just single player, has it's own frustrations.
Yes, you can play whatever you want in FUT. That could be online multiplayer or single player. Because of the new content they've added in the last couple years, single player FUT is just as viable as multiplayer, and you can do both (which is what I do).
For single player, the two main FUT game modes are Squad Battles and Seasons. In both you can choose your own difficulty and no, you're not required to play Pro or Amateur or whatever games. I mostly play Squad Battles on Legendary and most matches feel about the same difficulty level of a CL game in Career Mode. Every now and then you'll get a pretty easy matchup, if the team you play has poor chemistry, but most games are pretty intense.
Seasons I don't play as much as it's a really undercooked mode and the rewards aren't great, but you can choose a difficulty level and then play out a season's length of games against a variety of teams. For me the only reason to play it is if you've already completed your SB matches for the day and don't want to play multiplayer.
For stadium chants, you're correct - they are based on whatever team badge you select. Something they added this year is that your FUT club name is now displayed in the stadiums as banners, so people are having fun with creative and weird names. Something maybe to keep in mind when you create your club.
Gamespeed in FUT is set to Normal and cannot be changed. And I'm pretty sure the accusations that FUT was set to Fast in the past were totally false and what people interpreted as Fast gamespeed was just down to playing elite-level players with chemistry boosts. And that for me is maybe the biggest negative of the mode - games can be too fast and because most teams are filled with the best players in the world with stat boosts, it can get a bit silly.
Just be aware that right now playing Squad Battles isn't the best experience because every team you play against is set to possession and sitting deep tactics. We've not heard official word for why this is but it's frustrating - if you want a challenge, you're in for one because when the CPU sits deep with good players on high chem, it's a bitch to break them down.
Building a team and experimenting with loads of different players is for me quite fun in FUT. Gameplay isn't always the best because it can feel like FIFA on a cocktail of steroids and amphetamines, but I recommend at least giving it a go. Especially if you're disappointed with the level of challenge in CM.
