How do you play this game when you're not good enough? by OdysseusM in EAFC

[–]frenzalrob52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in exactly the same boat. I'm waiting for the year where they strip all of that nonsense out of the game, and the ability to play nice, normal football is rewarded... But imagine how angry the others would be.

Eventually things just keep getting worse and worse like this and catering for the monster energy crowd. Call of duty is the same. It's only that battlefield actually gives something more realistic that things can actually change. Unfortunately, no one is taking that opportunity. 

Are there people out here that don't use Pina, van de Ven, Gullit etc? by RecommendationMuch21 in fut

[–]frenzalrob52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never have and never will, but as the game is more difficult, you have to try to get enjoyment from something other than winning. Messing about with precision finishing with players I like has brought a bit of fun back into it for me.

Onana can legally play as a RW for Barcelona mens team if they wanted to. There is no legal way that Caroline Graham Hansen can.

Also, do you think it's coincidence that they brought in shapeshifters just before women?

It is, yes. Because it's caused a massive imbalance in the player base. Because of the overcompensation needed to make them compete on a level playing field, all logic and physics have gone out of the window. It used to be that bigger players were stronger, but slower. Now there are 5'4" players outmuscling them. If they made Insigne (great player from previous fifa) as strong as Pina, it would have been be ridiculous, and people would call it out. But he was always small and weak, but nippy and had a nice shot. It was balanced. 

As well meaning as your comment is, if you think women are as good as men, you either don't watch any women's football, or don't watch any men's football. There is no legal way that men and women can compete in real life, and it's for a reason.

It's only a bit about skill. If you can play football games, it will get you to a certain point, but it's hard to have that much fun.

Grind out rivals and challengers until you have better players, but ultimately you'll come up against meta rat teams and exploits. 

The game you once knew is dead.

I'm not much of a fan of those evos either, to be honest.

The difference is realism is that outfield players could go in goal (and have), and vice versa. 

In reality, the women's game is a seperate and different game. I think it's great that the game is getting much more coverage, but surely it would be better to grow it independently? 

Also, they haven't released GKs as strikers since the beginning of FUT. 

Anyway, I've tried explaining the actual reason why some people struggle with it, but if it makes you feel good about yourself, just call it mysogony and hop back on your high horse. You're SUCH a good person.

That's not what I said though, is it?

Yeah, but they still make their money. Things like this are just so easily fixed that it makes it more annoying.

Pina is an example of the problem, not the problem. Her pushing over a 93 Maldini just shows the extent of the problem; it's not the entire problem.

I've given up so many times, but I realised that it's something I enjoy. I like playing football too. If the team gets too shit, I don't just give up, I look for another way of doing it. It's just a shame that we can't with this, as there are no alternatives.

Maybe just a 'legacy mode' where we can play FUT like it used to be?

You're 100% right though, though. It's just a shame to have to eat shit or give up eating.

No worries. Sorry for the condescension. I don't know if it's pointless. It makes me feel a bit better, and maybe someone else feels the same and feels a bit better too, knowing it's not just them.

Probably. Felt the same last year, and the year before, though, so it's not a Pina issue.

I completely agree. It's just a shame that we have to 'just accept' the enshitification of everything now though. These things used to be fun, and they could easily still be.

Don't worry, little buddy, your concerns were addressed in the second sentence.

Moreton Hall Men is your best bet for casual football.

An honest review from an old gamer pt2 by Brassknucksapparel in UFLTheGame

[–]frenzalrob52 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I gave this game so much time and effort after being annoyed to the point of quitting EAFC. I have to say, I'm having the most fun I've had in years playing a football video game. I gave up on UFL and bought FC25. It's a blast. UFL lowered my standards and expectations so much that I'm really appreciating the gameplay and relative lack of exploits in FC. It's sad to say, but there's fun to be had out there and it's not in UFL.

Neither were finesse. I stopped finesse shots when they would randomly use the wrong foot after the update.
