Same for me
@fear
I agree about 40's + even 60, they've got more recoil and followed the video game evolution since the beginning. Gamekult got the same guys behind, specialised in their own style... But they're often too harsh with some video games for the sake to be called "purist", they push too much the button. Well since years, they changed their policy too taking people remark as "pessimistic/people who knows better" by increasing their notes and gives more argument. Since, that website is paid lol.
About Matt is more the optimism type of person and not the critic type that much, he just watch and see what he can do, that's all.
Even some sliders saved me... 2 weeks before an update fucking everything.
I hate the concept of sliders (my own opinion) the game should adapt from your configuration / i see people saying well but when we try on Fuma it's a different game etc / BUT the issue is the game changes at every update. You have to set sliders for each "version". Well i won't say he's crazy but he likes it, and try to make the game playable even if sometimes he said like for the 21 that there's nothing to do, sorry.
Now why i hate it 1st: something which trying to hide their flaws, well flaws designed for FUT and all online gaming.
2nd: It's to become crazy, and some are not the one we need.
I remember myself changing every 20 seconds and see the differences instead of playing what they purposed, but to me which was trying to fix for example FIFA 18 or 19 it drived me crazy. And one setting may fuck up another etc., for in the final, get back to the basic and put it in slow lol, as the game feeling, AI and the rest as became nothing as a football game should feel.
I may add a 3rd, but it doesn't rectify at all the core issues (Chris said it a thousand time, and he's a thousand times right). Inertia, ball weight, AI more than all getting closer, Midfield battle etc. are not stuff you can change with numbers on 100.
There's an amount of parameters which can't be numbered, and needs different settings. Differences of styles can't be.
Never liked it since the start : and i loved FIFA 11 and 14 VANILLA / The way to play it balanced was that way to me, i only tolerate slow/medium/fast like it's been since 16 bits games... Even that i don't like and never too much changed : FIFA 22 for example pushed me to set it on Slow.
But for someone who likes to switch between Seasons online and matches VS CPU, and i like to be competitive as much, got 2 settings of gameplay speed gives an handicap in reactivity. Well it wasn't annoying when pace was at least OK offline, now it's way too fast. Can't make a compromise any more.
I don't talk about assistances : it was a very good idea since i don't know, FIFA 07 or 08 where i discovered it. I smashed people playing on Semi, as my passes was less predictable. Fuma is a another game in the game, so it should have their own online setting like in the past (no idea if you still could)
