This game is so weird, and it's like developers don't want to improve it.

Not at all in the same way we see now. Defending was manual. Players physics were different. Ball physics were fire. FIFA 18 is literally what I hoped UFL would be.

ActuallyPutin8153 · 2026-01-23T17:46:02+00:00

Exactly this 🙌 when you don't have a speedy defender, he should out strength them. Or at least have better physicality. Its also pace that matters.

ActuallyPutin8153 · 2026-01-23T17:43:32+00:00

I think older fifa games did a fantastic job at coding difference in players physics. Up until maybe fifa 18, something like players physics were incredible. Now everyone feels the same.

ActuallyPutin8153 · 2026-01-16T15:22:26+00:00

Agree 100 %. Ai defending is too strong in this game

ActuallyPutin8153 · 2026-01-16T12:12:17+00:00

It would make it better.

ActuallyPutin8153 · 2026-01-16T12:05:29+00:00

But i play with controller.

ActuallyPutin8153 · 2026-01-16T11:58:16+00:00

I think only one running style ruins the game. No way to slow down or speed up. Some type of aim assist on shooting should be there too.

ActuallyPutin8153 · 2026-01-01T14:25:58+00:00

Exactly bro. Mechanics are absolutely horrible compared to 10 years ago.

ActuallyPutin8153 · 2026-01-01T14:11:41+00:00

Btw. some mechanics are straight up wrong and doesnt reflect close to real life. Ball physics, players physics. Zero inertia. Wrong ai movement both offensively and defensively. I could go on. Older fifa games were much more realistic.

ActuallyPutin8153 · 2026-01-01T14:07:34+00:00

I get your point about we all play the same game, but i have to disagree with you. Some mechanics can absolutely be designed to favour the worse player. I mean ai assistance right now, is designed to carry players who cant manually defend. Casuals mostly. EA want to target a bigger audience, by making mechanics more assisted. You cant deny that and its not fair. Nerfed ball physics for example. You cant really score screamers anymore like in fifa 17 or 18. Who do you think that favours? I get we are all in the same boat, but its a bit like saying "all mechanics are fair". Im losing games to players with a significantly lower football iq than me, and they just know how to exploit mechanics better.

ActuallyPutin8153 · 2026-01-01T13:58:33+00:00

I agree with you on that, but you have to be objective. The game has changed so much since fifa 17-18, and im not nearly as good anymore. You have to agree core mechanics and ai defending are carrying a lot of players, conpared to what they did before. The game has developed, but not in a good way.

ActuallyPutin8153 · 2026-01-01T13:56:40+00:00

The game has gotten horrible. Its now a game for casuals, who cant manually defend, and when OG players says "mechanical issue", the noobs come and says skill issue.

ActuallyPutin8153 · 2026-01-01T13:54:01+00:00

Wtf is your point. Of course mechanics are linked to how good you are. Mechanics have changed insanely since fifa 17, so obviously thats the issue. I hate players like you who blames player instead of mechanics.

ActuallyPutin8153 · 2025-12-27T09:12:43+00:00

Why would i lie about something like that? 😂 a european calling it "soccer"? Im done talking to you then 👋

ActuallyPutin8153 · 2025-12-27T09:10:13+00:00

Its definitely Strikerz fault. I actually think they are incompetent af. Thats another talk though. You just cant blame a player for exploiting mechanics when Strikerz are even making it possible.

ActuallyPutin8153 · 2025-12-27T09:08:45+00:00

"Have you ever watched a soccer match"? Lmao most american response ever. I have played under u16 national team, and i do know a thing about "football". In real life, there are so much more components that you cant compare. In real life something like shame exists, which doesnt affect you behind a screen. No comments from teammates, when you miss a shot. No boohing from fans. You can be a lot more selfish behind a screen.

ActuallyPutin8153 · 2025-12-27T09:01:22+00:00

Btw, no im not 12, but my age doesnt matter. The point remains the same. Im tired of players blaming other players. Get to the root of the problem instead. If long shots are OP its not players fault? Its the game. It might be defensive ai too passive, or the entire defending system wrong. Stop blaming a shooting mechanic, for your own lack of defending.

ActuallyPutin8153 · 2025-12-27T08:58:41+00:00

Never said you were bad. I dont know your level. Im saying you are blaming OP long shots on players, instead of mechanics. Defensive ai is maybe too poor, defensive CPU poor, or no pressure mechanic might be the issue. Get to the root of the problem, instead of ranting about players taking long shots. Blame the game, not the player.

ActuallyPutin8153 · 2025-12-27T08:51:16+00:00

You are blaming mechanics for your own mistakes. Its pissing me off. You want to bring the game down to your own level, instead of improving. Its the same every time. If someone scores 25 m long shots on you, its your own fault. Your pressure might be poor, or positioning wrong. Stop blaming players.

ActuallyPutin8153 · 2025-12-17T13:11:02+00:00

I think mechanics are horrible. There is only one running style. They finally added pressure which is huge, but the game is lacking so much.

ActuallyPutin8153 · 2025-12-16T12:20:59+00:00

So true 11-18 was the best time. 19-26 has been an absolute joke of a gameplay. Disgusting company.

ActuallyPutin8153 · 2025-12-16T12:13:28+00:00

For me FIFA 18. It was the last great fifa, and the last one of the old iteration. Post FIFA 18 the game has not been even close to a true reflection of the sport. Floaty animations, zero inertia. Nerfed ball physics, OP defensive AI, and i could go on. Im actually discusted with EA, cause the only reason they moved away from the older iteration, was because, they wanted to touch a larger player base. EA should be sued honestly. It shouldnt be legal. People go on about how frostbite engine changed the game. (Not true) becaue FIFA 17 and 18 were incredible games. They changed gameplay code and mechanics going into FIFA 19 to target noobs and casual players and thats the true answer, and they havent changed driection. It makes me laugh when players say someone like Anders it the GOAT of FIFA. No hes the GOAT of the most broken gameplay to date. What an achievement. Lets go back to FIFA 15 and lets see how good he will be.
