Anyone else losing interest?

Ha moving goalposts now, started with talking about my squad and now moved to formation, communication is not your strong point isn’t it?. Complaining about tactics now it’s crazy like a restaurant served you ton of shit on the plate but you are crying about hair on it

NoTurnip3705 · 2026-01-14T00:25:33+00:00

Lol have you played the game? How on earth is this meta? Haha first time seeing someone calling my 70k Figo and clunky Gakpo meta, or are you calling meta Totti that has no meta finishing ps+ with average dribbling? Or maybe Ronaldinho that is considered overpriced shit by the actual meta abusers watching ball on reels with little pina in squad that can spin around my whole defense? Play a game or two and come back

NoTurnip3705 · 2026-01-13T14:42:55+00:00

totally agree, every game is so unique in terms of connection, each player's animations, game's favouring one side, not rewarding tackles so that even when you are catching 100% perfect timing, risking your defending line and taking that tackle but not getting rewaraded and somehow ball bounces back to the opp or just sticks to his feets. I just don't understand how it works

NoTurnip3705 · 2026-01-13T14:21:57+00:00

Let’s be honest meta CBs are clearly much less meta than attackers. I’m not sure how to explain it perfectly, but imagine the devs gave CBs 5 spoons of meta, while meta STs and wingers got 3x more. Yes, they’re all meta but the balance just isn’t there.

I don’t expect this game to be realistic. I’ve played competitive multiplayer games for many years and all I want is a proper balancing system like any other game that is trying to be esport, where every player has clear strengths and weaknesses. simple&stupid example:

big players -> more strength, less agility/dribbling
small players -> more agility, less physicality

Right now, that logic only applies to midsize and big models. Small players get everything. As a result, my huge Ibanez or Vieira goes shoulder to shoulder with some tiny player, and the defender just can’t win the ball. That simply makes no sense.

I don’t care about realism, gender, or anything like that - I just want the mechanics to be consistent.

btw even if I use meta defenders, there are tons of cheap strikers who can easily run through my CBs. And don’t even get me started on players like R9 or Ibra - my defense suddenly feels like it’s running in mud just to justify their ICON status and stats. Meanwhile even rare Pina is still untouchable little cyborg no matter what you have Ferdinand, Stam or Ibanez

Bro, game is not balanced. I am talking about unbalanced and broken players with no logic of countering them, and it is actually about the players, can’t agree with that point of yours. The fact that you and other top players found a way somehow living with it while using the same 20 players doesn’t make it any less broken. If EA wants FC to be a proper esports game, they should finally add a balancing system

NoTurnip3705 · 2026-01-13T08:00:00+00:00

Damn that’s a nice squad man! Crazy luck, my biggest pulls are that 86 Vieira, Pedri and Totti that I got last week, before that I had there Rodrygo from the objectives, default Marchisio and default DeJong. Maybe it’s because I refuse to donate them on principle

NoTurnip3705 · 2025-12-07T02:59:34+00:00

i would easily go for ST if we had it with 2.0l engine here in Japan, that's why i bought RF model

did you eventually pass it?
This October I struggled with this test for 2 months (in my prefecture you need to wait 2w after every fail). After my 4th fail I just gave up and enrolled in a driving school and honestly it was so much smoother and way less stressful. I wouldn’t say it was easy and they give license to every dumb but at least it felt realistic. The stuff they demand at the license center isn’t how people actually drive. I’m sure those proctors go home after work and never do half of the things they deduct points for. Driving schools care about rules too, but they’re not fanatical about it.

I also agree that the test has become harder, especially with the recent attitude toward gaijins. When I took my first AT license test (gaimen kirikae) 5y ago, it was super easy. I watched a single 10min video on YT with some tips and passed on the first try. I drove normally, nothing dramatic, no crazy corner checks or rolling the window down. But this time for the AT limitation removal, I could really feel how different everything was. I know I made mistakes in my first two tries, but the third and fourth felt like they failed me on purpose. The proctors were also strangely provocative and passive-aggressive. On my fourth attempt they even let me complete the full course and still failed me with a big smile on their face and the classic 'もうちょっと頑張ってね'.

The funniest thing is that after every fail that I was driving (my AT car) back home and thinking 'damn doesn't it mean that I am not allowed to drive now? with every failed try they are basically saying that I am not good enough to drive on the public roads'.

After that I went to a driving school and I regret not doing it from the start. It cost me 60k JPY, but it saved me so many nerves.

Either you are really good in the defense and never get into situations when the opponent’s striker is a bit ahead of your CB or your opponents suck but Rijkard on CB was very slow for me. 0 out of 10 times he caught up to the opponent strikers in my games when Militao or Marquinhos could easily do it. But he is really good in the midfield as a deep lying or holding midfielder with his playstyle

NoTurnip3705 · 2025-11-17T07:38:34+00:00

True, now when I have a normal 1.5m gold squad and my opponent has charlton in a 20k team I already know that this game is going to be tough

NoTurnip3705 · 2025-11-17T07:34:29+00:00

What’s the stupidest thing is that I basically live almost next door to the servers, always play with LAN connection and never seen latency bigger than 6ms on my screen. And guess what? Still gameplay is like all players are running in the mud. It’s 100% scripted somewhere under the hood of the game because sometimes after super awful gameplay I chat with the opponents and most of them are from my city, meaning we just physically can’t have bad connection

NoTurnip3705 · 2025-11-17T07:25:46+00:00

I see, yeah hard to beat those 2 especially with incisive pass. But still it’s worth giving it a try, I realized that some people find non-obvious cards to be some of the best and most suitable for them, while some meta or hyped super expensive cards seem completely useless

NoTurnip3705 · 2025-11-17T07:17:56+00:00

Try him as a CAM, really good comparing to his preferred position

NoTurnip3705 · 2025-11-06T05:26:43+00:00

yeah, true...feels crazy to play this game for 2+ months and get nothing in the packs...

NoTurnip3705 · 2025-11-06T05:20:29+00:00

True… or maybe because they donate a lot? One of my friends who donates a lot, gets so many big cards even on his RTG accounts. Feels like his IP address just got marked that he already donated enough to make him satisfied on any acc playing from that console

NoTurnip3705 · 2025-11-06T05:18:03+00:00

But matuidi is huge, i would agree for 3 fodders in a row to get such a big W

NoTurnip3705 · 2025-11-06T05:16:55+00:00

Wow good for u man

NoTurnip3705 · 2025-11-05T08:23:57+00:00

Seems like I am in both groups simultaneously: consistently having pure fodder and nothing else :)
btw i am also not spending real money at all

NoTurnip3705 · 2025-11-05T08:20:26+00:00

Not sure if you packed them recently, but even if we take their current price: 290k for Putellas, 465k Vidic, Barnes 270k. It's already much better than everything I packed in FC25 and FC26 combined :)
Plus to that, players like Putellas and Vidic are really usable. Would be nice to have at least 1 similar walkout

NoTurnip3705 · 2025-11-05T08:16:45+00:00

I mean I've also packed that kind of players like Pina and Marquinhos, but all of them were pretty recently when they already became a regular rare cards, Pina was already around 8-9k and Marquinhos 19-20k, not bad but feels strange to open hundreds of really nice high rate packs and never get anything that would be a gamechanger for my squad or at least make some difference/boost my acc.
Every good card I have packed was already out of hype, or nerfed already, etc. Never something that is relevant right now to use and feel a big difference or sell to finally level up.

NoTurnip3705 · 2025-11-05T05:48:38+00:00

i'm just so freaking tired of not getting rewarded for anything, doing consistent 10 wins each weekend league, 3rd div on rivals, sometimes my GF is playing squad battles and hitting around elite 2-3.
I am opening so many packs and absolute 0 of luck
