that doesn't change my opinion about optimisation of this game. pc football game should not be more demanding than games like battlefield 4.
That is true.
The amount of things happening at the same time in ANY football game is VERY limited. The effects are very little (because they are not very needed in football games). The DOF is short.
So when you take all of this into account, it's nothing compared to games like COD, BF, GTA, AC, etc. I mean, they have a whole world going on, things happening at random, weather changing constantly, etc.
Football games should be a lot less CPU-demanding.
I can't believe how we still haven't got a game that starts in the afternoon and ends in night, with changing weather as well. Or how can we not have proper crowd standing up their seats if their teams are losing by a wide difference and going home before the match ends. Like in real time. While you play the match, people standing up and leaving.
I know these are all not very important to what football as a sport represents in itself. But these are little details that would be lovely to have, and one can't help but think that maybe, people working on football games just aren't as smart or as capable as those working on open-world games and such.
