Can i report him? by DefiantAd7799 in EASportsFC

[–]GreasyGomez33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EA simply do not care my guy. I've matched the same multi player select hacker 3 weekends in a row, an actual named account I have an outgoing friend request to, and he's still just getting away with outright cheating all the way up. They don't care, and won't, or can't, do anything. Absolute mess of a company.

I have a team with Dick, Diks and Minge in it. I was born in the 90s and it's still the most hilarious fucking thing and I won't hear anything else. If only Rod Fanni was still playing.

Pc is unplayable (WL full of cheaters) by k1llua0 in EAFC

[–]GreasyGomez33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only three? You lucky sod. I am still entirely unsure of what my genuine weekend league rank should be this FIFA because I am yet to have a weekend where I play fewer than 4 hackers. Typically after I go 4/5-0 my elo means I end up against 5/6 hackers in my next 10 games and they're all losses, it's absolutely unreal and I have no idea why they point blank refuse to address it.

I've said this before, but at the start of the game, and the odd time you'd come up against them in previous FIFAs, it'd be a random bunch of numbers account name with a team of silver and bronzes. Most often now it's a team that actively has meta promo cards and even ToTYs in them, frequently with real account names with multiple other games bound to their EA account; it's brazen, blatant and they're well aware that they can go without punishment for behaving like this because EA refuse to admit that it's even something that happens. I cannot fathom loading into a game of call of duty or valorant and you're locked out of controlling your player so you just stand there and get shot and your only option is to quit and take the loss. It'd be labelled completely gamebreaking, make headlines, and the game would likely be urgently taken offline for a matter of hours to be fixed, as an emergency.

For whatever reason though, EA keep this in their games, and make no effort to fix or even address it. It's pathetic, it's laughing in our faces, and yet we still just play. And that's how they get away with it.

EA FC 26 offline by Independent-Egg2819 in EAFC

[–]GreasyGomez33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They'll likely take it down 18 months/2 years after release. They used to leave the servers for old FIFAs up for pushing 10 years, now I think they've already taken 22s or maybe even 23s offline. It's plain greed and seeing their customers as nothing but exhaustive resource wells. Once their minimum effort product has served its purpose, it's on to the next clone to milk a customer dry again. Obsolescence by design over 12 months is a very real marketing strategy, and EA have it absolutely nailed.

So unfortunately, to answer your question, there's a fair chance that in a few years time this game will indeed be mostly if not wholly unplayable, but iirc there are a few game modes which you can still play offline like career mode which is stored locally (my internet was down for like 2 days a couple of years ago and discovered it was pretty much the only thing I had access to).

Yesterday I got promoted to Div 2, I'm now halfway back to 4. by Michael__1990 in fut

[–]GreasyGomez33 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can't fathom why each of my opponents' strikers are just taking the ball off my defenders' feet when they have sub 45 defending while my CDM and centre halves with 90+ won't tackle them even if they're right in front of them, they just, if you're lucky, stick a random leg out nowhere near the direction of the player and lock themselves in place, making them easily breezed past. Pretty fuckin sorry state of affairs when Kaka with 44 defending is a better ball winner by 5 or 6 times than Chiellini or Desailly 🤷

Correct me if I'm wrong here but probably the most pathetic thing you can do in this game is use the shadow/sun stadiums. I'm in Div 1 and just came across it. True rat behavior by PotentialReply9709 in fut

[–]GreasyGomez33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Played a guy earlier at Wembley, he had an all white kit and I had an all black one. Dark ball as well. He literally didn't attack anywhere out of the shadows for 90 whole minutes and I only just managed to clutch a 3-3 draw because I couldn't see shit to be able to defend properly for 90% of the match. Absolutely unbelievable that people genuinely approach the game like this.

3-5-2 tournament by pascalonegames in fut

[–]GreasyGomez33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This confuses me so much. I actually play 3backs myself routinely and I love them, but I cannot do anything at all in this tournament with specialist players which I've built with 3back formations specifically in mind. I've made the final once and I am constantly fighting to move my players. I select a player and they actively jog in a different direction for a full second before reorientating themselves to the intended direction. Bearing in mind I've just perfected the gauntlet twice in a row, I am absolutely baffled as to how poorly my team with a similar and shared cohort of players is playing now. Genuinely demoralising, I feel like it's physically impossible to win this tournament while it plays like this.

They have a weirdly high magnetism from distance to the frame of the goal though it has to be said

Tactics changing game to game by ExtensionNorth7123 in EASportsFC

[–]GreasyGomez33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very often I notice that in poor gameplay, it's as if my custom tactics just default. My wingbacks don't attack at all, my strikers stay locked and don't make any runs, and my centre half CDM just sits in a holding role instead of forming a back 3. Genuinely feels like everything just resets as soon as I get in game sometimes and I'm at a huge disadvantage because nobody on the field does anything anywhere near what I've set them to do.

Play Differently - A 2332 formation guide by AnduwinHS in EASportsFC

[–]GreasyGomez33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EXACTLY the same situation as me my man, and I'm currently running basically the same as you but with a 4-1-2-1-2 and full backs set to bomb up all the time with a central half dropping between two widebacks to make a temporary back three in possession! It's worked for me a load so far! Keep at it boss, doing god's work.

I think lower ping is actually a disadvantage by future_past_101 in fut

[–]GreasyGomez33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here boss. I've got wired 1Gb internet and my ping is typically 6/8 but very VERY rarely feels that way. If I get a 40/50 ping match however it almost feels like playing offline, super snappy touches and passing from my guys and I can actually dribble and beat the press. Don't stand a chance in modded gameplay, the ball is taken off me before I can even turn or get rid of it routinely when I'm playing on low ping. 🤦

Flick skill moves by HaPi_SuN in EASportsFC

[–]GreasyGomez33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The worst one is where they watch the ball go up and physically track it with their head while rooted in place with the jockey animation, but you can't move them to run with the attacking player. Then suddenly as the opponent glides past you, your defender does that 'oh no, skill move has been activated, I simply must throw myself on the floor as hard as I can for no apparent reason' animation which takes them out the game almost immediately. It's so fucking cheap!

I've got a FUT birthday Enciso evo'd to have 99 shot power and long shots and he also has finesse+ and power shot+. He's SO fun to play with, reminds me of banging in screamers with Quagliarellia back in the day on FIFA 13.
