So if you hate Fifa 20, it will be the same? As i never played FIFA 21 to save 60 euros as i really didn't get a good feel with Fifa 20.
And founded it far too easy, especially small teams vs small teams i buyed it, played perhaps 2 games and stopped.
Then retried when the Libertadores was available : i liked the overall ambiant and feeling, but i was with Binacional and smashed teams with 5 points in more on every Att/Mid/Def on first, Champion Difficulty (well, the second higher difficulty don't know the translation in english/spanish etc.),
After i was a bit more re-used with the controls as it's been 3 years i didn't really played FIFA, i put it on Legend. Of course it was a bit harder especially to defend (for not saying impossible sometimes), with the same teams. So i tried with more or less equal, i always try to take a smaller team, it was a team a bit less small (don't remember exactly, i tried many teams)
And i noticed, after two days of try (well i didn't played more than 2 hours those days) once you're used, after 2 games let's say, you can discern quickly AI errors. If you play fast in pass and shoots often, the AI doesn't seems to follow your execution speed. So scores where high, as i scored a lot but got hard to defend, like 5-3, 4-4 etc. i would say more or less 5 to 8 goals by games.
But honestly, it was more all about the overall feeling, turning, dribbling, passing, shooting, random miss (not because you didn't executed the control, but because of the stats system based on percentage of error) i didn't feeled the football thing. Let's say : it feeled too much insensitive in fact : i'm playing, but i don't feel what i'm doing like it should be, in time and seconds.
And that's one thing i got hard with Fifa to like it, because even on very old school 16 bits games i replayed, from Snes to Neo Geo or Super Soccer Champ etc. i feeled what i was doing, and every ball touch. I may feel like an E.T. for Fifa player used to it, but it's one of the only "good" relatively.
Don't know if i will buy it, or later probably in discount. Hope there will be a demo, i won't lie, i'm interrested in what graphically, a PS5 football game is looking like.
FIFA is clearly a different game than PES. The gameplays are so different.
So if you hate FIFA 20, you will maybe hate FIFA 22.
1 vs 1 appears on FIFA 21. It's very hard to master on defense, on FUMA, more easy on FUTO and semi I think. A lot of people hate that.
FIFA 21 have a lot of issues and with 1 vs 1, it was the cherry on the cake : fastpace game, bad GK, Bad referee, no more auto defence, thé community hate so much this game.
If you want to appreciate a FIFA game since the legendary FIFA 16, there is only one option : calm down the global speed. If you don't, it will be a goal fest game.
On FIFA 20, i started to go into sliders. From crash, i played 10 matchs with the vanilla game and I took some videos to analysed what are the issues and if I can fixed it with sliders or not.
In one week, the game was more playable and I wanted to play game after game. AI when you slowdown the game is really more clever. You appreciate it on career mode. With Marseille, i play against Lille who played a different style of game than St Etienne or PSG . I was happy and I wanted to share my sliders to thé community, with some videos to show than FIFA could be fun and a more realistic game.
FIFA 21 has a lot of issues too. Always lake of faults, but no center After World class level, dub midfields, etc... When I have access to the beta of FIFA 22, i can see if the game have changed.
On vanilla, it's hard to see the difference.
After 5 matchs, i apply my FIFA 21 nextgen sliders and wow it's a totally différent game. I can see now the motion capture 11 vs 11, you see teamate attitude ; midfield go back, marking is wotlrking, GK are useful. Damned it was not only marketing, they fixed a lot of issues.
You will see massive skating only if you play fast because hypermotion I think has not enought time to activate the good animation.
Inertia is back if you slowdown the game, the excessive responsiness of the game kills inertia if you play fast, no inertia.
It was a long writting but i would like to explain my philosophy. I know many people will hate FIFA 22. I only hope that some people will discover a different game that they will enjoy with sliders. It's not perfect but playable.
