I find this such an odd response. "You be that awkward guy, fine". That's a really weird and slightly stinky attitude.For the rest of your points. Great, good complaints. Relative to FIFA 23 - What do you want to do about it? That's the difference. You be that guy, fine.
It's almost accusing people of being purposefully awkward because the game has terrible issues that you even admit yourself are there, so how the hell can you be so, and I hate to say it, condescending?
(Yeah, no game is perfect - all games have flaws - but they're not as fundamental as the ones EA have introduced with the 1v1 gameplay shift, culminating in this year's game, IMO. No sliders or settings I've tried have removed the wide-open "two passes and you / the AI are in on goal" midfield - reflected in the sky-high xGs if you're playing the unmodded game on a decent difficulty level - and that, in my opinion, is game-breaking. I've also provided video evidence of this, but this has been seen as somehow trolling, so I won't do that again.)
I get the frustration if you're enjoying the game and you're frustrated reading that others aren't. But it works both ways:
Every "wow look at this" video I see, I click it, and before the brilliant goal or whatever it is I'm supposed to be looking at - I see the first ten seconds of skating, terrible positioning / players ignoring the opposition completely, ping-pong passing, and the weird fast-forward/slow-mo player animations... or match stats that show the only thing keeping the scoreline down is a mega-high shot error slider or something...
...and I just think, how low we've all sunk. To accept this. It blows my mind, it truly stuns me. But clearly these issues aren't big enough to put everyone off, and I wish I was one of those guys.
I just find "you can't fix it, so just buy it and put up with it" is a bizarre thing to say to someone. It's a politician's answer, "there's nothing I can do about this so stop annoying me about it and make damn sure you keep paying your taxes".
