thanks a lot man. Do you know if it works well even with the VLpatch? Like, will the season still start in 2025 or must it say 19/20?
I don't know about this patch. In the attached link, you can see that there are 2 versions, one with Default season 18/19 and other one with 19/20 season. Also, you must be playing the game thru EA App/Origin.
I think the graphics, animations, and match presentation, especially in the Champions League, are excellent. The gameplay is also enjoyable. I haven't played this version in a while, but I remember it being more attack-oriented, which means matches flow from box to box. There's very little play in the midfield. I also remember that through passes and wingers were the recipe for winning matches. There's no perfect FIFA; each has something it excels at and something it lacks. It's great that you found the version that suits you best. I'm currently searching for the best version for myself to build a long career. FIFA 16 started to get a bit boring. Now I'm testing FIFA 17 and FIFA 22, and I can't decide...
i still think fifa 22 has more potantial than any game.
It's true, the potential in this game is enormous. If only someone would create a mod for more fouls and penalties, and more goals from headers...
I often think about this. I think it's the last "playable" (for want of a less exaggerated word) FIFA.
do you think 18 is any better?i found 18 too fast even with slow option in gamespeed or 17?, i don t like the animations of fifa 16, they are too rigid
18 I can't go back to. I played a World Cup 2018 not so long ago to remind me why I didn't like it (although having a World Cup mode is obviously great).

When I first saw this comment, I smiled a little. It's a practically unheard-of opinion. But since I was looking for an alternative to FIFA 16, I had to give it a try. I spent the entire first season testing sliders and a few mods. I have to say, I'm truly surprised! The game offers what I was missing in FIFA 16-17. Smoother animations, good shot spin, finally a good cross trajectory, decent net physics, a clear difference between playing against a good and a weak team, a more extensive career mode, the ability to train speed and acceleration, etc. After used a modifications, I managed to reduce the frequency of beautiful goals, great long-range goals, and high-scoring matches. Now everything seems balanced, and the game is truly enjoyable, though challenging. Of course, there are also drawbacks: few fouls, through passes to the wing are too often precise, and despite the mods, the CPU still sometimes plays tiki taka. And the frostbite and the infamous ice skating, but tolerable. Just when I was certain I'd have long career in FIFA 17, I'm now faced with another dilemma: 17 or 19? I've tailored both games to my needs. I enjoy playing each one, but I don't like constantly jumping from one game to another, although I currently do
I am can too add my 2 cents, that FIFA 19 are good and pleasantly playable, when some time ago was tryed to play few matches in career or league mode.When I first saw this comment, I smiled a little.

it s an unpopular opinion i know, but i do still think it s the last playable offline career mode fifa , where u can indulge and immerse urself in a full season with ur own low tier team or higher tier teams, and as u said, u can tell the difference btw lower teams and the superstar teams indeedWhen I first saw this comment, I smiled a little.

You should try FIFA 22 with Realism X gameplay & recommended sliders. The AI & flow is on another level. I don't think something beats that even today
I own that game but haven t modded it since everyone said back then that the ai cannot be fixed and still has 1 v1 silly defending
FIFA 22 makes a great first impression. I think scoring goals in 22 is more fun than in 16-19. But in the long run, the complete lack of fouls, the lack of play in midfield, the insanely fast movements of players, such as when turning with the ball, and the strange ball physics that jump during sprints, discredit this game for me as a career mode. And yes, I used the Realism X mod.If someone mods FIFA 22 like Paul and Anths FC 25/26, it would be the best football game ever. Without it, it will forever remain a game with untapped potential.
i am in the same boat, not willing to buy fc 26 because the basic problems are still there...
