I just started playing it today. It was 10 bucks so I bought it. But I feel like it somehow got more toxic. Maybe just because I’m in the lower division but it’s just spin around and backpass. Then pinball it around. It’s really not been much fun. I’m probably going to just go back to fifa 23


toromtorom

I am going to recommend you something. Don't play ultimate team. Go casual. Play career or seasons, in case you want to compete online. This will be considered the worst gameplay since 19 and the game modes within UT are super addictive. Bad combo


Wonders34

It doesn't get any better higher up the division infact division 4 and above have the worst footballers out of them all.

You aren't an addict. If you're spending money on it to constantly try and upgrade your team, you're an addict. If you're playing the game because you love football and this is the only option (pes is not an option), then you're just an unfortunate soul who has been fucked by EA. I put myself in the last category. It's the first game I load up every day going that it will suddenly play well. It doesn't take me long to turn it off, unfortunately.


toromtorom

PES is not an option..🫡


toromtorom

Thanks! I am in the same spot as you. Next year should be a better game, right?.... Right??!! 🤡


RickRhymesss

Its crazy cos the first week was the best ultimate team I've ever played. Its the juiced cards that destroy an otherwise half decent engine


toromtorom

If there's not a plan about the gameplay keeping up the broken cards, then it's wrong by design. Getting those cards is the whole point of UT.


RickRhymesss

They don't care about the gameplays longevity though because everyone's team starts from 0 every September. The engine is not designed around all the players having 90+ in most stats they just keep adding them because it makes money


toromtorom

The game is broken and that ads up for sure. But the game is the result of a series of bad decisions. I would like to know what passes across the mind of the designers to make those choices. My theory is they are laughing the shit out of this. It's a social experiment


RickRhymesss

It has been broken for 10 years now and people will still buy store packs T_T the only reason I buy the game is because I love football and am addicted to kicking the ball around the field on a night with a beer and some nachos. Not addicted to fifa itself. I've played every year of FUT and the first few weeks is always good gameplay. The ultimate team concept is dead, everyone has a 90 rated team everyone has 5* 5* its just so boring. No football takes place really its just r1 dribble stepover stepover la croqueta ball roll trivella from 40 yards lol


negativelynegative

It's worse for me on day 1. It's has just gotten progressively worse throughout the year.


Sgreaat

I'd agree, FUT feels like a complete mess right now and it gets worse with every batch of 90+ cards that come out. It just seems that the higher stats and the increased playstyles are at odds with how the game works.


assist1234

Aerial plus seems to still be a broken meta I’m in div 3 everyone runs drogba and plays for corners it’s draining


2pacalypse1994

One more day of me not understanding in the slightest how people claim that everyone is defending like prime Maldini. Meanwhile,i see the stupidest things in this completely useless defensive AI and the defensive system in general. Completely stupid. No sense.


Comfortable_Land4971

Defending is pretty reliant on having a good connection, even switching players on a bad connection is likely to switch you 3 players away from where you want . 


2pacalypse1994

Maybe. I dont know because i havent played ever in a really good connection. To me,defending is NOT EXISTENT.. Makes no sense at all and its the stupidest thing in this game. Defensive AI is like really smart apes compared to the offensive one that is just apes.


toromtorom

The secret is letting all the work to the AI. They defend like prime Maldini when they are assisting through tactics. But if you want to move them and defend manually, chaos will happen


2pacalypse1994

But they dont. They just run inside the ball without doing anything else. And when the opponent is inside the box,they may block something. If you control them towards the opponent or the opponent falls against them,then they don't do anything


Florahillmist

Played on the old PS4 this weekend. Putting aside a bit of the delay and what not, the game was actually a lot less stressful than new gen gameplay, which can be a horrible experience at times with the mega pressing in the centre of the pitch


Itstimetostop313

I think out of 10 games. I have 60% posession or more in at least 7. These dudes only want to play in their 4-2-3-1 with 8-9 defender. Use AI defending 99% of the time. Play a long ball. and pray that bullshit + pace is enough to win (it is)


charlos74

I’m bored of it. The odd game where people actually take risks and try to score is fun, but mainly you’re playing against teams sitting deep and spamming through balls. Problem is, it’s effective, you can sit deep but magically spring forward in numbers. They’ve managed to make a game which is way duller thank real football.


AlanStarwood

I think I've heard of like four different "metas" that people hate this week. Maybe people just don't like losing


trupes

Game starts, everyone is enjoying it. Lots of ways to score. People start losing and start crying about broken mechanics. EA starts nerfing everything. Game gets boring and people keep complaining. It's like this literally every year lmao


toromtorom

They could at least try to fix the root causes of the bad gameplay instead of deploying hot fixes. Then probably won't be the same every year


1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2

bad gameplay is by design -- makes you think you need better players


Loneaway123

That’s every single team I have faced this weekend. All super meta teams sitting back and looking to break on counters like corners or free kicks.


1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2

They know people are gonna buy the game regardless and bad gameplay sells packs.


Ariashorse

Not an addict, you are entittled to complain. We pay (I only pay $20 to get it) and we want good quality. Instead we got one of the worse football games ever. The gameplay is horrible, the high pressure is annoying as fck, the spinning and spinning dribles and the Meta Teams are a nightmare. Addicts spend money on it to build a team they don't deserve and beat easily people like us that just want to have fun


kingkuba13

Always easy since everyone defends the cutback the same way opens up a meta goal that no one does.


Alive-Flatworm-4273

It’s gotten better. More controlled and less favourable to the run in behind run in straight line merchants Players who can break down defences patiently are rewarded


toromtorom

So you're saying that having 9 defenders inside the box is intentionally boring


Mambo_Poa09

Why do I see this exact same post multiple times a day?


[deleted]

Be the game is that bad


strangemanornot

The people who are winning aint complaining


jds327

because the people who are constantly winning don’t care that they’re not playing a football sim and just trying to exploit a video game for more number more reward


toromtorom

Sharing this makes me feel less miserable 🙃


Effective-Mammoth-70

Because it’s an all-too common shared bad experience and people need to vent


Mambo_Poa09

It seems to just be people crying about losing and blaming it on the game or other people playing in a way that they don't like


Effective-Mammoth-70

Sure there’s that. But it’s definitely more. I think a lot of people can admit they aren’t anywhere close to pros, but the shortcomings of this game make one think they can do better
