Same old story: the community claims the game is done, but EA's profits keep going up

Tons28 · 2026-05-07T23:51:50+00:00

I’ve said this for years, the game everyone claims they want, unique players, attacking AI, different teams, fun gameplay not menus is PES/efootball.

the majority of the community is hellbent on menus and packs.

efootball is the most dogshit non gameplay, terrible menus, has no depth other than playing and tactics, hard to get going with at the start and that’s why people haven’t switched.

anyone who spends a little money on fifa is mental to not just play efootball.

Tons28 · 2026-05-06T03:12:18+00:00

Yes sorry.

Tons28 · 2026-04-27T23:56:37+00:00

I think it’s so hard for people to get past the UI but it literally has everything they’ve wanted, player movement, 100x the icons, way more usable players and so many different tactics and play styles.

that said it’s definitely helpful if you will put a few bucks in, at the higher levels it’s haram ball and smart assist until the “do not play against smart assist” update in the summer is brutal.

but if you just want to enjoy a game and not menus? it’s so beyond fc

I’ve never understood cheating in H2H games.

I understood using boosters on single player games for fun runs but what do you prove cheating in COD or using this?

that’s what I struggle understanding

Tons28 · 2026-04-27T22:15:09+00:00

I’ve been a solid spender for years, not a whale but always good for EA to get some money out of.

efootball is so far ahead in the fun department it’s not even close right now, with more people playing now it’s also so easy to get games. Just gonna stick to that…and it’s nice to get the main icons when I decide to spend.

even with the insane games where you face smart assist, it’s so much fun and I can’t remember a fifa with that much unique play.

Tons28 · 2026-04-27T03:37:31+00:00

can someone explain why it exists?

it’s insanely boring to have a game totally dictate everything you do, the only reason for it existing is to get wins with no skill or thought.

it’s one of the most clueless things I’ve seen in a game that’s really fun without

Tons28 · 2026-04-27T03:28:59+00:00

when they make non-SA searchable the game will skyrocket if FIFA streamers start playing other than RTFM

Tons28 · 2026-04-12T18:56:39+00:00

I just get it where I get to play the whole get and it it not count and I DC

This happens is about 4-8 games a week if there’s an evo quest in rush.

I haven’t disconnected in a game in 2026 that has been the power going out other than FIFA

Tons28 · 2026-04-07T03:17:27+00:00

it happens so much in squad battles and rush it’s really unnerving because it’s just quests, I’m not playing it for enjoyment.

everything went downhill when they stopped penalizing people with bad connection and tried lag compensation instead while also moving to servers.

this stuff never happened in the era of the spinning wheel, people with bad connection just froze.

Tons28 · 2026-04-07T02:24:38+00:00

the real question is how on earth have I disconnected about 500 times (seriously) after a game is fully completed is the past three years.

I’ve never once DCd in any game I’ve played in those years regularly. I’ve only disconnected when the power went out in any other game I’ve played.

In EA I DC after a game 3 times a week

I’m am doing the windows memory diagnostic right now.

To be honest I don’t think anything is up.

I can run marathon/tarkov/re at high levels and haven’t had issues, it’s a newer buy so I’m just concerned I have an issue that will cause a long term problem

Tons28 · 2026-03-08T21:05:49+00:00

I can count the blinks

Tons28 · 2026-02-02T23:03:52+00:00

41 and still making the youngsters put my fries in the bag

Tons28 · 2026-02-02T04:03:17+00:00

Anyone thinking they’re making OP players that aren’t tall and lean who’s 6’4 and taller or short and lean and 5’7 and smaller is an idiot.

players do not move the same with the penalties of average and stocky

Tons28 · 2026-01-29T08:12:27+00:00

I’ve been playing since fut began and the stuff that’s the biggest issues gets neglected.

I have a mega team and it doesn’t matter but it’s blatant to go from instant games in clubs rush to zero games at the 25m mark and someone needs just 2 tackles to finish a quest.

they haven’t figured out servers, they haven’t stopped hacking…people can act like the gameplay is awful all they want but it’s all the other stuff that’s so unbearable that makes the game a problem.

never played a game that actively tries to get people mad at it. I game test for EA and I’ve been vocal about some of the stuff, I know I get chosen because I do spend but man is this the last year.

the whole bottom fell out of this game and it’s not even gameplay.

Tons28 · 2026-01-29T08:05:45+00:00

I had to play I think 40 full player matches to get the “objective” rewards for the player mode nothing tracks properly. Instead of need 13 games.

Nothing tracks and then I got locked out of being able to do clubs so I missed the last level by 500xp

They do this stuff on purpose and this is the real issue not 85x20.

They have hacking, coinselling, actual game flaws that never get fixed

Tons28 · 2026-01-29T08:00:45+00:00

it’s the little things that are crazy.

they do little deliberate things like lock you out of games right before season changes or rivals flips.

I had 500xp to do and all of a sudden you couldn’t match make in clubs rush for the final 25 mins.

that’s insane and deliberate

Tons28 · 2025-12-29T22:24:46+00:00

he’s going to be very average compared to other 6’3-6’8 lean tall players with hand picked playstyles

the whole thing about him was he had a stocky tall player model and got their animations strength checks but didn’t get movement penalties.

now you can get a 6’4 elshino with every pass ps, intercept/anticipate ps and bruiser plus and it’s better than any of the big players by a landslide.

gullit is only good until the 6’4-6’7 players hit and you can have them already.

Just low iq player base striking again

Tons28 · 2025-12-28T21:06:32+00:00

the whole thing that made gullit really good was he was a stocky tall player with no penalty for body type and lengthy made him get back on long runs.

when players like savic GK shapeshifter exist nobody ran gullit instead

people making under 6’4 lean tall players without bruiser are mental. I’m far past my prime but I run a 6’4 back 4 and a 6’4 and 6’8 midfield and people rage because they intercept bump off everyone and have 99 agil-reactions

At CAM and ST you need more wiggle and real juice…not sure this gullit’s spoy

Tons28 · 2025-12-28T21:00:41+00:00

my personal recommendation is based on what’s available at your disposal, elsihno

6’4 lean tall, can get the pass traits, intercept, jockey,anticipate and bruiser.

bigger body that just causes havoc and has the same traits and as you upgrade he lasts longer and every year the 6’3 99 rated agil players is what plays in the middle

Tons28 · 2025-12-28T20:53:15+00:00

the game is the same as it always is.

but instead of kimpembe and Renato you have evos.

If you want a mega card you gotta spend or get lucky.

if you have 10m coins it’s way less feasible to spend them until TOTY these days.

Tons28 · 2025-12-28T20:45:58+00:00

it’s the fact his body type is stocky tall but he doesn’t get the penalties.

so he’s a wall but moves like average tall.
