I promised myself that I wont get involved, coz I didnt play F23 and Im certainly not planning to.
But I'll say few things to the people who enjoy this game. And before I start Id like to say that I am really happy that you do. Honestly.
Since the whole 1v1 focus started and the game slowly began to switch all other players on the pitch off, apart from the two controlled ones - F23, F22, F21 are more or less in the same basket.
And it baffles me how can anybody enjoy a game like that? During last few iterations of Fifa they literally turned the need to use your brain off.
There is no tactics, there is no challenge, there is no reward.
Why do you even try to pass around and attack from the wing if the game lets you run straight through every single defender, while controlling your CB?
What happened with psychological battles that we used to have? What happened with trying to crack different AI teams, coz some of them had unbreakable midfield, some of them had deadly wingers, some of them had amazing CBs??
Football games used to force you to change your playstyle, go out of your comfort zone, think..
Now you can play the same way against everybody..
The only challenge that they were able to introduce is to catch up with AI scoreline. They are artificially trying to create difficulty by umpteen goals.
You cant even defend tactically. You cant send team mate to pressure AI while you cover passing lanes. You cant track back AI attacker, coz the rest of the team will just stand there. You have to do EVERYTHING yourself. Its not fun. Its exhausting.
I understand that the game might look pretty and the net physics might be amazing and that you can enjoy a braindead match or two..
But to play the whole season (or multiple seasons) like this? Same exact scenarios? Every team playing the same way? No physical battles? Players running away from you?
This is not football. And no amount of settings and sliders will ever fix the fact that the game is designed for only two players moving at the time, while the rest stands still or backs off.
