FIFA 22 Discussion (Console Versions)

I had to go and check that an update didn't revert my slow game speed to normal and my difficulty to professional as in the last week or two i am suddenly winning every game and the games are complete goalfests being played at 100mph. what on earth is going on?

playing preston right now and i'm winning 4-3 after 55 minutes as their tactics are incessant pressing which means it's literally end to end stuff with no midfield. my 3 centre midfielders are all sprinting forward to join the attack even though I am on my defensive setting and they are all told to stay put. just an awful experience all of a sudden
 
I've noticed less and less difference between EPL and League Two teams as time has gone on, especially online. It's definitely a worse experience for me now - it's back to counter-attack after counter-attack.

Ah well. I got a good month out of it. Maybe next year I'll get two.

i just mean at any point over the last week or two. the games just gone mental.

the preston game i was talking about just finished 6-5 it went

3-0
3-2
4-2
4-5
6-5

last few games have been 3-3, 4-1, 4-2

the game has completely changed for me in the last week or two and it's really really poor

 
I don't know how anyone can pin the game down long enough to apply sliders etc. On the default settings, no two games are the same for me. That should be the ultimate compliment but no; I mean it's like I'm playing a completely different game.

My three-game stint over the weekend captured it all. The first (1-0 win over Hearts) would've put FIFA 22 down as a five-star title. The second (5-2 win over Motherwell), two stars. The third (2-1 win over Celtic), three stars. The conditions and quality of opponent seems to have no bearing either.

I'm still playing while the good to not-so-good game ratio sits at 1:3. That's probably my limit.
 
I'm convinced it's the attribute boosts that really ruin the game, especially in Career Mode. I don't think it's just your team that gets boosts, but the opponents too.

You can feel the difference in offline (or online) friendlies, when you turn the "default" attributes system on (which gives players a big boost in key attributes for the position they play in), and then switch to "classic" attributes.

It insults me that it's even called "classic". If anything, they should be called "boosted" and "normal".

I've had games like that and they're just awful. The worst. Shedloads of goals do not a good football game make, which is what I assume EA's MO is.

Matches like that just leave me so flat as there's no merit in them. It's the AI quite blatantly being ramped up and down over the course of the game to manufacture excitement. The game plays you, not the other way around.

good theory, it's like in master league with team spirit where when you start everything seems slow and sluggish and you can't buy a goal or win and then all of a sudden your TS clicks above an arbitrary value, say 80 and then you're slicker than Prince William Sound after Exxon Valdez.

felt quite similar for me here although the first games of the season I am still learning the controls and defending, at least i've put it down to that anyway, and now after a completely seemingly random point in time 1-2 weeks ago, i can score for fun and my team are completely in tune.

Good point. I’ve virtually stuck to kick-off matches on Classic attributes since I discovered what ‘default’ meant!

that would be cool , i suggested that with PES 20 when they released a really good patch in October 19 - had everything i was looking for with fouls, AI red cards, penalties etc. Then it was bit by bit wrecked over the next couple of patches

Absolutely. This comes up now and then and I understand it's an option in other sports titles.

I maintain that it should be a requirement, as consumer protection.

There should also be separate patches for outright fixes for glitches etc. Not just lumping them in with patches that change gameplay.

They are bringing that many patches out next week it could be different again.

Wow i don't know what happen, but I have not that kind of problems. My last match : 0-0/ 1-0/ 2-1/1-1/0-1/2-0/3-1/1-2.
I haven't change my sliders since a while and I still love it!
If someone wants my sliders, MP😏

It is well known that career mode was/is? full of bug on the disk version. For instance, the youth academy players disappear at the end of the season.

Here are some bugs I have experienced while playing just a few days with the disk version.
On tournament mode, champions league, the game crash if you try to edit and save the team sheet in the CL menu.
I am a pro cam player and the pro cam has a focus issue after some replays which makes everything looking blurry until the ball goes out of the pitch.
On some stadium, it is blurry during all the game.

Half : 8 minutes

FUMA : everything on off with tactical defending, analog sprint off

User / AI
Sprint speed: 18/20
Acceleration : 50/50
Shot error : 55/70
Pass error : 55/60
Shot speed : 45/45
Pass speed : 35/35

I hope it helps to enjoy the game 😉

I have injuries every two games : 5 days usually and some Big one like 3 months.
Stamina is realistic : you have to change some players after 60 minutes of game,
I used this set with United and Olympique de Marseille : really good.
Goal Keeper are not overpowered : they made great stops but you can beat them.
I haven't seen the CB bug.
Faults are well balanced : 3-4 for the CPU in average.

OM - Nantes

Two goals in the last quater : a fast break and an amazing long shot! from Payet!

A very good 0-0 versus Milan AC with a red card

Not played properly in weeks... Every time I try I turn it off before even completing a half. I'll give them sliders a go again. Just noticed spoony pizzas saying all of sudden fifa has changed and ruined his slider set... You guys seen this too? Honestly I'm starting to get to the point of giving up on sports games.. Bought fifa during trial only for the game to change and ruin my enjoyment. Also NBA 2k was fantastic on release now they've ruined that, all to please the online crowd

After flouncing away from the game last week I've crept back for a few sessions. All single-player CM matches. Had a few fantastic matches where I thought I was wrong, but most matches felt awful now, often reminiscent of FIFA 2003 (IMO the worst football game of all time and still the only computer game of any kind that I've taken back to a physical store and got refunded in disgust).

FIFA 22 constantly rolls a dice behind the scenes that eventually decides to interrupt a passing move by making my players perform a pass or through-ball that doesn't match my input (or their stats, or the context) and it is the worst thing ever (happens on all slider settings, default, OS v1-8, my own tweaks, etc). This mechanic strikes me as as an 'online balancing' act, i.e. to ensure that one player cannot dominate possession. If that is the case then why the sweet fuck do we have to suffer it offline.

What is with the wild variability in this game? I've played enough FIFAs to know they're not all like this. Online football gaming destroyed football gaming.

I'm still enjoying the game and don't believe the game is ruined for me. I've noticed some games the AI will make a lot of passes like in the video you posted, but replay the game and its a completely different game. I actually have seen less ping pong passes from the AI with the recent patch (or maybe I am just playing differently).
The game is enjoyable for me with some custom sliders.

I've had bad matches followed by good matches on all patches (and the AI has been inconsistent in all patches for me as well but even with that the game has maintained its enjoyment... I even see less BS in the box/mindless passing lately).
 
A lot of us are still enjoying the game. Version 8 of the OS sliders are doing what we want, and that's all you can ask when it comes to FIFA. Here's some gameplay of me v the CPU on Legendary, 10 mins, slow:

Firstly, let me just say I appreciate all you do to try and make the game better! However, I find again with the latest set (legendary, slow) that the defensive lines of the ai always tend to be too high and it's far too easy to pop a ball over the top. I find myself one-on-one far too often. There didn't seem to be so much of this in V7.

However, I am aware that it's an ever changing scenario when EA keep changing the feel of the game.

You can see in the video that at times I have the opportunity to send a long ball over - mainly with the matchup of the FB and my winger(s), but choose to play a low pass instead. Unfortunately, each time I tried, I was well marked and pressured that the execution was off the mark.

Have you changed anything from the set? Such as pass error/speed, etc? If not, then I may suggest raising pass error for the user as it sounds like those passes are too precise. Or, lower Run frequency for the user so the runs are more checking to versus running away.

Unfortunately, there's nothing that can be done in getting the defensive line not to push forward to put pressure on the players. The current set puts enough pressure that it shouldn't be as easy either. If you're not experiencing enough pressure from the CPU, then that could be another thing - but it's not something we have experienced in 30+ matches at this point on the current set.

With trying to balance the defensive line integrity, while still maintaining decent shape, it's tough to adjust for individual's play styles and tactics. As I said though, this isn't something we have experienced as much, so take the suggestions with that in mind.
