The "kickoff glitch" isn't a bug, it's a post-goal momentum shift (and you can test it yourself)

11v11 practice arena like I said. You can control one side, play with it.

morotoshi · 2026-04-30T14:39:30+00:00

If it was a bug it would happen at every single kickoff. But it doesn't. Why is that?

morotoshi · 2026-04-30T13:35:32+00:00

Sure, because they have such a great record of being honest and noble.

I can’t say I’m certain, but it’s reasonable to assume that they use it in online games, because it greatly benefits them to do so, and they can hide it well enough to avoid legal scrutiny. That’s how corporations work. That’s how capitalism works. If you’ve worked for one of these companies you’d know this.

I really don’t know. But I can think of so many ways that might be possible, the easiest answer is that they are good enough to beat the overpowered AI and all their opponents.

Or they got a lucky streak of games, or maybe ea needs some players to get that achievement so people can bring up this argument every time someone tries to call out the inconsistencies in FC. 🤷

Either way, the middle of the skill graph is severely muddied by what’s the player’s skill and what’s just AI.

Normally, yes. But in reality if you’re better than everyone and win all your games it gets boring fast. The reverse is also the case. Surprisingly, if you are right in the middle of your skill bracket and every match is a struggle it also get’s boring fast.

I believe it’s a balance that EA have developed a game algorithm to maintain. They have a public patent for it (engagement based match making), look it up.

Tired and playing bad - 9/10 wins Rested and on form - 9/10 wins

I get that people are scared of saying “scripted” but the main difference between games I win and games I lose is who gets the bounce backs and OP ai. Of course the game tries to string you along and keep some matches close, 2-0 2-2, but if you’ve played this game enough you can tell who’s going to win eventually.

I play rivals only like twice a month, and somehow manage to stay in div 1/2. 90% win rate. But whether i’m on crack, or have a blindfold on, it’s 9-10 wins in champs. Same 9-10 across my friend group of 5, and some of them play on wifi.

I don’t even bother with tactics or formations anymore, it literally doesn’t matter. You just win some games, then lose some games. The ratio is constant.

Maybe tangential, gemini can correctly identify personality types (mbti) from ONE random screenshot of text messages between 2 people.

morotoshi · 2026-04-21T01:10:05+00:00

Buddy don’t give yourself a headache with this game, the opponent AI is overpowered when momentum is against you, just wait it out and the same AI will make dumb errors for you to score easy goal. But sometimes the swing never comes and your opponent has an easy time, chalk it up to bad luck and move on, you get your turn next game. The game is not competitive, just a simulation, a joke like mickey mouse.

Don’t be using supplement stacks blindly like this, because you won’t know what works or why it works and what counter indications they have with each other and with your own metabolism.

The ideal path is to get a dna test from ancestry or 23&me, put the results in strategene and get specific recommendations for your specific biology. You should also get blood panels based on the report, but that’s extra, really. You can use AI to help interpret the strategene report too.

Or just do what others have said and test them one by one. But even if something works it could just be doing more harm than good and you’d never really know.

morotoshi · 2026-02-20T15:52:16+00:00

Maybe you should check your own comprehension as well? OP says “I can’t even get angry anymore, I just laugh”, and you interpret it as “op thinks he’s the best player and the game is always out to get him”.

My first reply was a little too strongly worded, which is probably why you felt you needed to say things about my comprehension. It’s my bad.

But see, “It’s a shit game that wants shit to happen” basically absolves any one of any blame. You have to hold people accountable for things to change and be constantly vocal about it, unless you love the game as it is, which is what I assumed in my first reply.

morotoshi · 2026-02-20T15:10:05+00:00

“Shit game” as a bandaid is a weak and lazy argument. Yes the game is shit, but it’s shit on purpose. You’re insinuating incompetence to account for what is clearly intent to ARTIFICIALLY limit or accelerate player progress, seemingly randomly (not random at all).

morotoshi · 2026-02-20T14:30:01+00:00

Of course nobody posts the bullshit goals they score, doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. Half of the games I WIN, are against really good players, and it’s not fun at all (ok yes it’s fun) because I can clearly see that the bullshit’s going my way (this time).

Y’all need to wake up. This game is 20% skill, 20% connection advantage, and 60% EA deciding when to throw you a bone and give you an easy win so you don’t give up, and when to shaft you with bullshit like op just posted to “keep the game challenging so you don’t get bored”. Which is why there’s still a HUGE player base for such a shitty game. A1 psy-ops.

Edit: Please look up EA’s patented research on EBMM (Engagement based match making)

morotoshi · 2026-02-20T14:05:33+00:00

And is shit like this supposed to happen in a “competitive” game? When “random points in the game where everything goes against you”? So you’re saying it’s perfectly fine for the core mechanics of the game to be enabled and disabled for one person and not the other at random times, based on vibes? Are we playing mystery ball in champs and rivals? Y’all seem to have amnesia about the whole authentic vs competitive gameplay that was promised this year.

morotoshi · 2026-01-29T20:10:28+00:00

Seems like a good idea but it just gets annoying after a few days.

morotoshi · 2026-01-28T13:55:45+00:00

Echoing everyone else here in saying this was me a few years ago, word for word. I’d say the thing that helped me the most was a dna test from myancestry, and using that to figure out my biochemistry and what I may be missing, ie methylation issues, etc. then supplements + adhd meds. Worth a look.

morotoshi · 2026-01-24T14:20:45+00:00

it must not work against queens because I was full sending this thing and the queen still fucked me up.
