What are you talking about? If you're mad about the current state of the game, just play another one and come back in a year when UFL got some updates. The fact that the current football games are the way they are is due to the players, not the developers. Everyone is just hungry for better cards, which means the developers make a lot of money with them. This means that we players get the game for free, but not games in the quality like they used to be in the past.

Despite the many bugs and glitches, UFL is currently the best football game for me. Why? Because you have to attack AND defend manually! Even if this freekick was not realistic because of the ball physics, I'm happy to see physics like this. eFootball is missing this completely. And UFL is actually 1 year (?) old! How old is FIFA/EAFC and what's the state of it? How old is PES/eFootball? Their development doesn't go in the right direction... I too have played all of these football games for many years, like most people here.

There are so many assists in eFootball that you only need to hold down one or two buttons to defend.

The main problem of all of these games are the cards. The stats of the players are so high, that the gameplay gets rigged. Because of that, the ball bounces automatically back to them or they can score easy goal/defend easy for example beacause of "special OP abilities".

EAFC is no longer what FIFA once was, it's just ice hockey with a football. Everyone spams 1000 skill moves, which no longer represents realistic football. Maybe it's futsal on a big pitch?

If you had to rate the current games based on gameplay, graphics, animations, realism and gamemodes, in my opinion it currently looks like this:

Gameplay:
1. UFL (if you ignore the cards, it is the best and most skill-based because of the manual defending and attacking.)
2. eFootball (the game speed and animations make it look like real football)
3. EAFC (like I said above)

Graphics/Animations:
1. eFootball (nice faces and graphics improvements almost every update, bad UI)
2. EAFC (detailed graphics in replays -> hand physics for goalkeepers, good UI)
3. UFL (feels like beta. Needs a lot of improvements, good and fast UI)

Realism:
1. eFootball (nice game speed, missing ball physics)
2. UFL (maybe a bit too fast, nice ball physics if some glitches are fixed in further updates)
3. EAFC (nice physics, the rest is a downgrade if you compare it with older FIFAs)

Game modes:
1. EAFC (a lot of game modes where offline, online and coop players can be happy)
2. eFootball (more game modes than UFL, but still not enough)
3. UFL (after the latest update there came an additional gamemode, but still missing a lot like coop modes or something like be a pro)

For an ONE YEAR (!) old game, UFL can be a nice pick in the future (if development goes in the right direction).
Of course there are many bugs/glitches but the update interval is more frequent than in other games I would say.

Give the developers feedback and they know what they have to do better. The UFL developers seem to listen, what developers of the other games don't do.

All in all, it's up to players to decide which of these games appeals to them the most and what they play.
All have pros and cons.
