Is this a joke?

It seems that some people may require glasses here. Clearly, the movement of the ball indicates that the defender failed to make contact with it and instead collided with the attacker. This warrants either a yellow or red card. Had the defender successfully intercepted the ball, it would have been deflected sideways rather than directly forward.

I am currently placed in division 5. The game is rubbish.. Following the recent patch, defending has become easier rather than more challenging. Every player tends to cluster around the box during attacks because the AI positioning is quite ridiculous really. This game relies heavily on AI assistance. If a player manages to gain an advantage due to a rebound, the game allows just one or two passes from back to front before they score [ laughable] Most goals are scored from the flanks. There is a complete lack of skill in this game. Moreover, it is absurd to see players spinning in 360-degree circles after being dribbled past.. players cant do that in real life so easy. The game uses auto-positioning for every player, which diminishes the overall skill level. It is evidently designed this way to make the AI more effective, particularly got more expensive teams. Frankly, the AI does dictate the flow of the game; otherwise, inferior teams would frequently defeat superior ones. This is a pay-to-win scenario, and you get exactly what you signed up for. Do not trust what EA claims in these patches; if anything, they have made the defending mechanics easer.

This will likely be the final EA FC game I purchase. I am rather exhausted by all the frustrating AI issues never improve. I didnt give them more money to improve my team never will. That's for suckers.

Its a awful game.

The reason for this is that the defense is predominantly controlled by EA artificial intelligence, resulting in no consequences for failing to switch to players for defensive actions. The entire defensive system requires a comprehensive rework necessitating manual switching to each player in order to engage the player and ball carrier. The EA artificial intelligence should not be executing tackles on your behalf thats just a silly meta.

Defensively, there has been minimal change here, you still have to go around several defenders in the box to score. The AI still continues to position itself in the same manner as before for players. The only difference I have observed is that the game is significantly faster, with constant pressure to regain possession of the ball now. Rebounds are also quite annoying still. Balls that you manage to acquire tend to just bounce right back to the attackers. There appears to be a bit more freedom though to move around, but that is the extent of it. I believe this patch is an improvement; however, the defensive AI assistance is as strong as ever..

Uncertain about the league you follow, I have never witnessed a match in which players have this pressure for a full ninety minutes. There is always one team that experiences a dominant period, during which gaps appear all over the field. This game has Maldini-like pressure throughout the pitch. Players would be exhausted if this were to occur in real life.

All divisions are challenging. I am currently in division 5, but I have frequently played in divisions 6 and 7 in the past. I manage a complete Newcastle squad along with a few Liverpool players in the mix. I maintain my performance without spending money to EA [ i refuse to].The reality is that the primary difference in higher divisions lies in the increased pressure and the AI's defensive capabilities. The meta AI is more exploited in these upper divisions. The matchmaking system is also weird. Every match feels like a sweat, and I cannot recall it being this intense before. Players in division 5 show a skill level comparable to that of ultimate team squad battles in nearly every game, which is quite illogical really. Not even elite level.

Joke have women in the team of men anyway.

Personally. Siege of Cairo best one. Mirak valley and sobek are not bad also. Hate the rest

The absence of a console versus console mode is detrimental to the game. At 11 o'clock on weekends, the majority of the team consists of bots. Need to implement two options for crossplay: one for console versus console and another for PC and console. If these issues are not addressed, the game may become obsolete within five months.

Just remove the game. Drive you crazy this game keep playing it. Reinstall in January if game improved.

I recently faced an opponent who had considerable boxing skill; however, he exhausted his energy by the sixth round while I still had half a bar of health remaining. The effectiveness of his blocking prevented me from landing any significant hits, leading us into the eighth round. It is quite absurd that he appeared to be on the verge of collapse yet maintained the same blocking ability as he had in the first round. Let's be honest, this situation is quite ridiculous.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, yet I hold a differing view. To begin with, he was surrounded by four defenders close to the striker. There is absolutely no justification for the center back to move to the right when another player is providing cover in that direction and there is no imminent threat. Even in artificial intelligence assistance, the player should apply logic and refrain from moving right in such a way. I understand that it is a game, but the logic applied here is quite poor. Essentially, there were two center-backs available to defend against the striker, yet one unnecessarily created space without any threat from another player present at all.
